Why is the Xplorer keeping up with the Pred? Simple 4X4 and knowing how to clutch a 2-stroke auto tranny can make them launch VERY hard.

As for the Pred VS the Raptor. We did race about 6 times. But the Fool Camera ran out of tape.
I won 5 out of 6 with the Raptor and the one i lost was because I miss shifted going into 2nd.
But by the end the Rappy and the Pred were walking neck and neck. Couple times we both got the holeshot and we walked neck and neck untill the top of 3rd then a shifted into 4th and started to pull away a little bit.
This next coming weekend we will video tape the Pred and the Raptor going at it and i'll post it.
