This is a new, 2020, 7000 km Raptor. This happen during a donuts in 4 WD. I have a video but i cant post here. Maybe i will upload on youtube. In the video we can hear the crack noise when the driveshaft broke. I post the video on the facebook group where on my big surprise most of the people say that is normal for a raptor. For me is unbelievable. We cant talk about warranty because the car is in Romania. 394cbf516715cf4dedf4a2232c3dad02.jpg

So what I get out of this.......

You bought a raptor and had it shipped to a country with -0- support, i.e. warranty.

You beat on it like it owes you money.

Then you post on the raptor forum how you broke it and how there is no warranty.

Cool story bro....

Stop beating the **** out of your truck maybe?

be nice now. we were all rookie drivers at one point.

4wd and donuts do not mix. especially in sand where the wheels get below the surface and then you start fighting the steering. instant damage. doesnt matter if other trucks can do it or not, its just not what you want to do in terrain like that. however, it can be easily fixed if you can find the part

Yeah. Is easy to fix. Only the 2 weeks waiting time for shipment of parts. I just wanted to hear the opinions. And i need to stop watching yotube about how fun is a Raptor. Thew wont say too much about shit happens. :)

simple rule to follow, 4wd is for getting unstuck, or when terrain call for it. not for going out and doing donuts
