But if u put wheel spacers or a-arms and axle on a rapotr thay are awsome

everything just seemes tio be poorly made on it...the lights only lasted for a very short time, the key assembly lasted for abour 30 hours of normal riding time....back brake light broke off.....lower aarms bent very easy, just an overall bad quad i think & i would never buy...they look very cool though brand new

Crazy400exman, how did your friends lights break?
I have had my Raptor for over a year and ride it hard and almost everyday after work, and I have never had a single problem with it.

...and his frame is totally f-ed up? It could be just his sub frame. Which isn't that much to replace.
