Put some SSD knuckles on it and aluminum wheels and the Hold tires from JConcepts and run that course again you will complete the course and probably beat your comp rig while you are at it.

The Element stuff is indeed very capable, even in RTR. There were loads of them at EAST, including me with a Sendero HD and a Gatekeeper, they all monstered most of the terrain. A few choice mods (tyres, bit of weight up front) and they are pretty much unstoppable. Oh and if you like EAST then get to SST in September, it's the same thing but twice the size and over 2 days!

Not the first time I see someone find out that the Ecto straight out of the box is incredibly capable. Interesting to see how the sway bar + trailing arms setup that most people hate performs really well.

@gibsonlife573 Жыл бұрын
Yeah and you also got to learn your Casper camper if you kick your links down to the bottom and far out it will roll your axle out and if you just your toe out then would you steer you can lay them tires on their side and try not to give it the beans so much I know you said you don't really do this that much but try not to give it too much to draw it'll and try to learn the technical side of crawling it is very technical dang I think you did amazing know on both of them and I haven't even watched them

Tell you what mate here's my 2 cents on crawlers... my favourite crawler hands down was my pangolin with 4ws upgrade and I have a couple different crawlers of different scales nowadays ..the pangolin had all the trimmings across the truck.. Upgraded the remote transmitter motor and gearing to hardened parts.... For all the functional upgrades I spent maybe 300ish from memory that was including the remote.. however I just had to have everything the same colour so I forked out for all the anodised upgrades and rws linkage and mount that cost me more then the functional upgrades 🤯 sold it as life went sideways for a while.. but I'd buy it again any day of the week and I would spend it again 😂😂 Ive a few different trucks now but that thing was the best at crawling.. could almost go full horizontal around a sharp corner of a box roughly the size of your average 1/10 ... Thanks for all the effort mate 🙂

Great video Phil, interesting results, would be interesting to add a bit of brass and some different tires and run it again. Toe out really helps on the steering, also narrowing the track would really help, your comp crawler looks very wide, I normally go for about 260mm for Class 2. Sorry about gate 9, I set that one, I did test it with my Class 1 and it was doable, maybe it got worn away with all the use.

Cheers mate.... yeah, needs some tweaking for sure. I'm still new to the whole comp stuff, so it's good to have you guys around for some solid advice. Gate 9..... yes... Gate 9 haha

Got the ecto two weeks ago myself and love it, though I have no idea how your suppose to put the full size battery tray in it, I tried, you might have to have the other body, the wagon body just can't fit over it, in the front or back, wish I learned this before I bought a full size battery . . . .
@drewb9022 Жыл бұрын
Also added a winch, you have to move the speed controller and, again the wagon body gives you next to no space, I managed, putting it on top of the winch, but it can't fit any where else pretty much, so great RC but hard to manage the space if your new to modding, upgrading receiver next!

So, not trying to be facetious, but does it make you feel like crap that you spent that much and it performed so poorly? I’m asking, because although it wasn’t a crawler build, I did an Arrma Typhoon full in all M2C, Schorched, and Vitavon build, and the car performs so poorly I don’t even want to touch it most of the time. I actually kinda hate the thing.
