Takahashi from the YouTube channel "Gagahashi Ch" recently dropped a video showcasing an RC car that left even veteran model car enthusiasts absolutely floored: the "F150 Raptor" from Chinese brand TRACTION HOBBY. The clip quickly racked up over 12,000 views, sparking a massive buzz online with netizens exclaiming, "Is this even a miniature model car?!"
In the video, Takahashi struggled to even keep the F150 Raptor's colossal size within the frame. To truly drive home its scale, he plopped a 1/10 scale off-road vehicle right on top of it – and the size difference was instantly, comically clear. The vehicle's weight was no joke either; just getting it onto a stand was a Herculean task. Takahashi pointed out that both its sheer size and heft blow typical RC cars out of the water.
The F150 Raptor isn't your grandma's RC car; its design is a radical departure from the norm. It's packed with extra batteries, letting it cruise effortlessly. But it's the little things that really make it shine: super-soft tires, sleek aluminum alloy wheel hubs – every detail screams premium, boosting both its performance and curb appeal. Takahashi also raved about its high-end proportional control system (Propo), complete with a crisp, high-definition LCD screen that makes driving feel incredibly intuitive and pro-level.
The vehicle also features multi-functional LED lights, giving drivers the freedom to toggle between high and low beams for an even more immersive driving experience. Honestly, these intricate touches are so next-level that even the video couldn't fully capture the F150 Raptor's sheer sophistication and brilliance.
Takahashi dropped the bombshell that this marvel costs just 135,000 JPY, a price point he found astonishingly low for such a high-quality RC car. The internet agreed, with countless netizens chiming in, "It's absolutely mind-boggling to get such an incredible vehicle for this price!"
