Do they have a Raptor body without the bed canopy?

If you look closely the cap looks like a separate piece.

Nice looking body! You'll never see a Raptor crawling though. They're mall crawlers. Bad ass trucks though! My uncle has one.

beg to differ, I have a customer who owns two, a blue 2017, and an avalanche 2016. You absolutely would see the avalanche on a trail at the drop of a hat, if he didn't work 80 hours a week it would be wheeled to death. He has ZERO to give.

Avalanche? But this is a Raptor body...

There are always the rare exceptions to the rule though.

I've really tried to watch closely, but I cant find anything that back your statement.. I see a seamless transition and I dont like it..
But hell yeah I'm going to have one to cut myself a pick up nonetheless

I think you're right. I looked at it again and I was looking at the edge of the decal on the tailgate not the edge of the cap/bed like I had thought. Along the side you can clearly see it's one molded piece. Not cool. That's going to be a tall body with a high COG. Maybe they did it so the stock body mounts can be used...

LOL! Someone who's old enough to remember M.A.S.K. like me!

Anyway this body is a failure. The front was ok, but they totally ruined the rear. They should've just left it as a regular rear bed body.

The side also looks a little off and weird. Proportions seem way off.

I appreciate that they tried to make a raptor body but I agree that the proportions are way off. Still doesn't change the fact that the 1:1 raptor has ifs and scx10s and trx4s have solid axles. It's still nice to see them catering to what the community wanted.

hey, at the very least it may be a good body to mod a little for a full bodied wraith, at least the wheelbase is getting closer

When I look at it, the whole body seems as if it is drooping with heat exhaustion...

Saggy, soggy, sad...

It's a shame.

I almost didn't post it!
