Thanks for watching 🤙

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the build, what other components are you going with? 🤙

@@PhilBrindley I’ve gone with the gspeed v3 carbon fibre chassis kit (vader) with lay down servo mount. A Reef 444 servo as it won’t have much weight to move and I love the raw 500 in my ecto. Wheels are punk custom 3d 2.2 wheels with stretched 1.9 proline trenchers. Never had the trenchers before, my ecto has gmade 1904’s which I’m a big fan of but wanted to try something different and the trenchers are a bit more scale looking. Other than that just the basic element builders kit for the rest. Was just meant to be the ecto as a bit of fun between race seasons at Santa pod as I race a gasser but it’s got way out of hand ha ha. We have a great club course at Bedford box end water park if ever you fancy somewhere different to have a play.

@@drtrickyskustomart9073 Sounds like a pretty awesome rig! I really like the Trenchers, have been very impressed with them so far. Would love to come and check out the course sometime! 🤙

Thank you! 🤙

You're welcome! Thanks for watching 🤙

You will have a lot of fun with the Ecto, I'm certain of that! 🤙

Thanks David, and a Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄🤙

Thanks, and welcome to an awesome hobby. It’s called a kinetic winch, I very rarely need to use them, but they can come in handy. It’s basically just elastic with a hook on the end. It won’t pull you up a climb, but instead tends to give the front tires some extra traction so the rig can climb. Hope that helps.

Thank you! 🤙

Hi, the wheels are Vanquish copies I think, they were from eBay and very cheap (about £25, not sure in AUD). They've been great so far and haven't given me any cause to spend 3 times the price on branded wheels. The 6 spoke ones were also from eBay, they are not Injora branded, but probably exactly the same. They were a little more expensive though at £40. The Side netting is 3D printed in flexible TPU and the rear radiator is also 3D printed standard PLA. I 3D print a lot of stuff! 🤣 The files for the rad are on thingiverse, they were originally for the Capra, but I scaled them up 120% and they are just right for the echo 😎 Interior is from the Element Gatekeeper, full video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMiCoal007u1gY0.html Thanks 🤙

I'll give that a try. Does it get hung up/high centre more often in that setup?

@@PhilBrindley It does, which irritates me, but it does help keep the overall weight down low, as possible.

Hi Clive, they are just cheap ones that came with a roof rack kit from eBay. Pretty much the same as these ones. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rc-1-10-Car-Crawler-Truck-Roof-Front-Mounted-Bodyshell-Spot-with-LED-Lights-12mm-/382681843051?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 🤙

Thanks, I'm using stock oil at the minute which I think is 30wt. I think it could do with 40wt in the rear, but I haven't tried it yet. My shock setup is detailed in this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b751fKpyps7HfJs.html 🤙

Thanks man, I’m really pleased with it. 🤙

Absolutely right. Wasn’t quite a fair fight, but even so they were very close.

Thank you x2! 🤙

Thank you! The lights came with a roof rack I bought on eBay. They are just cheapo ones but do the job. 🤙

@@PhilBrindley it is a good idea with the lights there. I might copy that 😆👍

@@michaelgravlund9194 they don't put out much light. If you want them properly functional then either a short light bar or some Baja spotlights would be awesome.

@@PhilBrindley thanks Phil 👍. I like the way they perform here. Not too bright.

Ciao, sono molto felice che ti piaccia il video e l'Ecto. Lo consiglierei assolutamente, soprattutto per un camion pronto per l'uso. È un fantastico impianto a tutto tondo. La visiera è un mio disegno che ho stampato in 3D, un giorno riuscirò a caricarlo su thingiverse.com. Scusa se il mio italiano è pessimo, do la colpa a google translate. 🤙

@@PhilBrindley tranquillo si e capito benissimo... grazie ..sicuramente lo acquisterò...😍 come inserisci la visiera thivingerse mandami un messaggio 😁 Comunque sto vedendo altri video tua sei 💪🏾 ho visto che hai le gomme luise da 120 ci vanno bene non struciano?..e sono belli anche la rete sui finestrino 💪🏾complimenti lo hai fatto bellissimo.. sicuramente te lo copiero🤪🤣 mi iscrivo al.canale cosi cio i tuoi aggiornamenti. Se mi dovesse servire qualche consiglio posso disturbare...ultima cosa per appesantire ant in ottone ci sono parti in ottone... ma sono come scx10 grazie

Ciao, Google non sta facendo un ottimo lavoro di traduzione, penso che tu stia chiedendo se le gomme Louise sfregano? Si sfregano sulla carrozzeria in piena flessibilità. Ho preso in considerazione la possibilità di tagliare il corpo, ma finora non l'ho fatto. Le ruote che uso hanno l'offset sbagliato e fanno sì che le gomme si siedano più fuori del normale, questo sta anche causando lo sfregamento. Non è così male da influenzare la guida, ma il rumore può essere fastidioso 🤙

Unfortunately I don't think you could, unless you are happy to lose the GKS trailing arms and just go to a standard 4 link rear. To do that and maintain the wheelbase you'd probably need to look at custom links. If you are looking to LCG the Ecto you might be better looking at the IERC shock towers instead. Hope that helps. 🤙

@@PhilBrindley thank you! I will have a look at the IERC shock towers. Cheers

Hi, these are the 4.7" Champs. Haven't tried the smaller ones yet.

Ciao, sono d'accordo sul fatto che siano davvero molto diversi, ma con le modifiche che ho apportato all'Ecto stavo iniziando a pensare che potessero funzionare a un livello simile. Tuttavia, così le caratteristiche del design del gspeed differenziano i due, come la piastra paramotore angolata e liscia che aiuta su rocce taglienti dove l'Ecto sarebbe solo al centro. Sospetto che potrebbero essere apportati ulteriori miglioramenti per aumentare le prestazioni dell'Ecto dove attualmente non è buono come il GSpeed. Ma sono contento così com'è adesso. Tuttavia, potrei provare un pignone diverso, poiché la fusione da 1800 kv e il pignone di serie significano che è un po' troppo lento per la guida su pista.
