In this video the Power Wheels Raptor gets thoroughly tested on pavement and dirt. It even pulls a real truck, hauls a very heavy bike rack, and tows a trailer (in addition to losing it's hood at high speed). The Black Panther himself also makes an appearance.
Thank you so much for all the support of this project.

Just a few notes for car/go kart nerds:
1. It drives really weird as the back end comes up because of the torque rather than down with the crazy rear suspension setup.
2. The front spindles may need a redesign as the camber gets worse and worse as its driven for extended periods of time.
3. Constraining myself to make everything fit within the body of the largest power wheels, including having a "normal" truck driving position, has rather predictably made it quite cramped and uncomfortable for anyone over 5'9" (my height).
