wow...his frame is totally ****ed up...my friends lights didnt hold up for only about 2 weeks...i hate these raptors...does your brother like riding it or would he have rather of bought another quad? one hell of a engine, bad geometry or whatever, very tipsy & squirelly. here are those pictures...i dount your brother will be riding in 2 weeks unless he is getting a new frame by then

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.

I think he'd be fine on that frame for a while.

ya well have it fixed in 2 weeks. the frame isnt that bad, on side the tabs where the sub bolts are bent but we should have it runnin with bout a grand lol. this quad has been in and out of the shop since we got it. runs great when it does though. i tried to tell dad 14 was too young for a raptor, oh well!!
