very cool. that's what it's all about. yup same engine, geared differently clearly. the Raptor is known as a "torque monster". mid range is amazing. it works great in any setting, but trail is where it shines. the stock set up is not ideal for track. it'd take some investment if you really wanted to race, but overall a great quad. it's looked at like the best option for the older crowd that still wants a "race" quad.
