That thing is badass, any idea what you're going to do with it?
Also how much do those sell for, I could use a raptor body myself.

Thats a pretty good guess, I'd say so too since those trucks look like a pile a dodo

I was actually looking to see if i could use that body before...but seeing how its about 25 inches in length....I decided not to even try

I did use a proline raptor body tho:




Just have to extend the body about an inch:

This is the good time of year for those things. Keep an eye on them. I know the local WalMarts had pallets of the NewBrights last year. And they cleared them out for 1/2 price or so right before Xmas. But after Xmas they seem to all diss appear as they do not stock most of them year round. I hate WalMart to no end and only go there when I absolutely have to. Like at Xmas to see what RC boddies I can snag
