Parma makes that body. They were commissioned by Ford to promote the Raptor during the Lucas Oil series. It should be released but I haven't looked hard enough to find. Or care, it is a Ford after all.

Keep digging Spenc. The Parma you showed is old and not for a Slash. The Jconcepts is new, but not for a Slash either. It is shown on a Stampede and would look about the same on a Slash. Neither of these are the Raptor shown above.

I can't find Parma selling the Raptor body yet but I'll be the first to buy one. Just so I can melt it down and turn it into a Chevy. Muahaha!!

Got a new body for the slash. Just finish masking.  It will get a Nissan paint scheme.  Also got a h3 look alike body from axial for the crawler. Need to think of what style to go with.

Well I got the Slayer running, then sold it. I'm down to just the Slash and T-Maxx in my stable.

Just need to hand paint the shocks then i am done.

Body looks good Spencer! Wish I had the talent to paint bodies, I'm terrible at it.

Started the buggy up for the first time, all good, then pow, burned the glow plug (didn't have toolbox on me). My guess is because it was pretty cold, it must have been pretty lean

I'll try again tomorrow..

Nice!

Tell me again what the difference between a Buggy and a Truggy are? Cause I've never seen a solid rear axle on an RC buggy and that's what I think off when I think truggy.
