Default New Proline Raptor body for 12.8” WB

Nice to see another option (or an option rather) for those defender and tactical rexs.

Nice to see them drop another option for the 12.8 wb. Can't wait to see more pictures, the rear teaser shot don't look too bad.

I just wish Traxxas or Proline would drop a Unimog body, given that the TRX4 has portals....makes sense to me anyways. The cool thing about that is since it has the flat bed with no rear wheel wells you could use it on either wb.

I love unimogs! Been trying to find a 11.4” wheelbase one for my Vaterra Ascender.

Not sure it works for you but the “might jeep FC” looks pretty cool. I saw a cool cage for it on eBay too. Its not long wheelbase though.

I wish they had a version without the canopy. I'm still waiting for the Pro-line #3468 Raptor, normally for the Revo, to come back in stock at Rcmart but that shows a 333mm wheelbase. Hopefully just fitting Jato rod ends on the rear links will bring it close enough.

Has anybody tried the wider #3461 Slash body or similar on a TRX-4?

Good news. I just got word from Pro-line that I should keep my eye out for a canopy-less Raptor body for the TRX-4 in the near future. I just hope it is 12.8 inches.

It’s a terrible body. :-) It looks odd with the rear canopy. The teaser shots clearly show the side rails and stock bumper don’t fit. Even in that setup the Proline 4.7 tires are rubbing the arches badly. That won’t see my money. Lol.

If only it looked like that though! Lol....Proline could release a Poo with a go faster stripe and fans would rejoice.

Maybe the one designed for the EREVO may work better... the wheelbase is 333mm (close) but the wheel wells are smaller (but cuttable)the bed is still too short but...




**NVM... it's too narrow... by two inches... forget it**
