Look at the wheelbase and width. If they match, you should be able to make it work.

You will most likely be looking at 1/8 scale truggy chassis platform for that body to sit upon. A normal 1/10 scale SCT platform is in the 325mm wheelbase. And the 2wd feature that you want... good luck.

6x6 crawler with an axle removed comes to mind. Some custom links and frame cutting and axle relocation. Some crawler kits have long travel front end conversions.

Love the Raptor R, no idea why Traxxas discontinued it so quickly.
Would love to see pics of what you come up with.
