Never used an Element RC before but looking forward to try it. Everyone complaining about lack of features, but to me that was a plus. Barebones features means no failing microservos. Body posts dont bother me, since I cant just install a magnet kit, and that body is the first thing that will be changed anyway.

Tell me if I'm wrong because I don't know, it seems like in a pinch, adding grease to the axle in general can be done without disassembly. It might take some over greasing but I would imagine that it would distribute itself if it was applied to the general areas of moving parts.

I really dig this truck. I don't care for all the politics of teams gone, no Innovation. I don't care. I'm getting it
@ghost-mikeMZOАй бұрын
A few comments from friends. --> What an ugly car! The missing rear bumper and no windows in the hardtop. What's the point? - You could have put a little more effort into it. - A little innovation wouldn't hurt. Putting an old car in a mess and the weird plug-in portals are no masterpiece. - Without any additional functions, without a rear bumper, without inner fenders, without an interior with the same old crappy tires, etc. --> You simply can't bring something like that in 2024, look at what else is currently coming onto the market and at what price. Yikongs YK4106 Pro, RGT Challenger Pro, FMS FCX10 LC80 etc.

Not a bad looking truck in my opinion. Not a fan of portal axels but can see the clerance they give to small trucks . Love my ecto its my go rig for a trail drive and crawl . Body looks good just needs some scale bits bolting on and your away .
@Elisplushies360woodiercАй бұрын
😳 Wtf. Element can’t decide if they want to go scale or comp.At least you don’t have to worry about crashing this one first putting.Already ugly.

Remember the Sendero HD & the Ecto these rigs were awesome but now Element has not evolved & seems stuck in place they have to keep evolving but I hear the loss of staff has partially caused it.

0:56 it's a joke. They say it has 4 link front and rear but with a pan hard that'd be a 5 link or the don't know suspension terminology

I’m pretty sure all of Element RC staff is gone. Its translation son from whatever language they speak. I’m not sure what’s happening over there, but it’s not looking good. Associated is still a strong company, but element is falling apart, from research and development to design to marketing. This is a strange situation.

It’s hard to spot but I only see three links and a panhard up front. I think the description in the video is just badly worded (or maybe they count the panhard as the fourth link).

Cool, I just order my model, but I see there are lot of mistakes in the instruction, I hope there will be a FAQ to correct this. Next there are broken parts during first run, it's not encouraging. I hope that not be disapointed because he looks very fun.

I just installed a set of these on my Ecto, and I have to say it makes a huge difference with clearance when compared to the original axles. Assembly is easy, just takes a bit of time. The rear lockout is kind of weird, but I am looking at making 4w steer soon.
@ronwalsh2 ай бұрын
Element has a portal axle kit on their page. I just installed them into my Ecto, and it makes so much difference in clearance and crawling along my tree root course. I would recommend this kit to anyone who has been thinking of adding portals.
