The Element RC Enduro comes out swinging!

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

Thank you for coming out to the Pro-line event. I'm the guy with the rusty BC8 Mammoth and the black and gold King Midas 6x6. Good review. Got to spend some time with one of the Element guys first thing in the morning on Saturday....he was out there at 6 in the morning. Probably spent a good 30 minutes talking to him and going over that rig. They definitely brought their A-game as usual. I have solid faith in the people that made the legendary RC10.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad that you got to speak to someone from Element, it's a very well thought out truck. I meant to spend some more time going over the BC8, I'm still seriously considering one.

[@year1camaro]

A game was not brought with the cr12. So they don't always bring it. I/m glad they are trying again thou. I'd hate to see them go out like that. I've had an AE rig since 1982 and like traxxas I knew they could bring something better than axial to the game.

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

@@year1camaro Didn't say they brought their A-game with the CR12 it's a 1/12 rig after-all....not a bad rig but not in the same market either.

[@scalebuildersguild]

@@year1camaro CR12 was a rebadge of a Thunder Tiger product, AE had nothing to do with the design or execution. Element is the first in-house designed crawler.

[@year1camaro]

Scale Builder's Guild So they sold us out to jump on the crawler band wagon. Ya i learned that after i bought one. Thought it was an ae. Gave it to the neighbor kid. He likes it. He’s 8.

Yep, that's the 3rd kit for me now!

Excellent review. I cannot get over how professional your vlogs are. You are indispensable to this market and genre of RC. I keep wanting more and more from you and your channel. Thanks for all you do!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Have always had a soft spot for Associated. Glad to see them bring this to market, well done!

[@michaellenheiser3157]

Had to watch again now that I'm working on my builders kit. Ordered all the hard plastic pieces to strengthen the chassis and some VS4-10 Pro bumpers. This will be fun! Enjoyed the review..... Again

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cheers!

[@rcdabbler]

I’m fine with an unlicensed body, as long as it “resembles” a real vehicle of some sort, and not like a 2-liter soda bottle cut in half and painted. I see comments like, “looks like an SCX10...”, and I would say that that’s warranted in part because it has a c-channel ladder frame chassis, like an SCX10, and which real off-road vehicles have. I’m starting to wonder how much more innovation can be obtained before a platform becomes too complicated and impractical. Look how many have complained about the original TRX-4, with its remote lockable diffs(Summit tech) and opted for the Sport instead, with remarks like, ”too many extra parts that could break”. I think future innovation needs to come not so much in the electro-mechanical category, but in quality of build materials, such as stronger plastics, or more affordable, yet sufficiently strong metals. Just saying.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Very good points, and I very much appreciate you sharing. Innovation will definitely hit a final point (at least, until we realize there was something else they could do!).

[@bradcomis1066]

Introducing more metal parts is tough because often they need to be processed on a CNC one at a time, so if its something being built in a large quantity it’s going to be a lot more expensive than a cast or molded part. Associated is trying here though. You can see the aluminum in the drive shaft which is likely an extrusion that is simply cut to length and possibly co-molded on the plastic part of the drive shaft or interfaces with a steel bit for the U-joint (I havent seen the part in person so its hard to tell). I also don’t see a lot of RC companies skimping on their plastic composite, BUT there is more they can do to create plastic parts that are structurally optimized through computer analysis and rigorous testing, which also comes with quite a high cost in terms of software, time, and expert labour. Where there is a will there is a way though. Those who want to lead the industry need to solve these problems with the correct ratio of compromises to deliver a product that out performs the competition. Incremental improvements will drive the industry forward.

[@PetoS]

Anyone ask me, why I stay at SCX10 mk1 after 9 years? Because all of this. I need heavy-duty chassis into all conditions. Minimum electronics gadgets and mechanical too.

[@vinnybuffone6775]

This truck looks amazing for the price. Glad they are going to offer inner fenders. Would have loved to see an offset pumpkin on the front axle.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Offset would have been nice, but pretty great otherwise.

[@briangravito9210]

I just came across your channel, its excellent content! I love the DIY stuff, the reviews and the budget build-offs are great and you are hysterical! Keep up the great work!

[@RcNickster709]

I am just glad to see a unique look... I think there is a market for T.A. to get into the Scale truck arena. Been a big fan of the buggies truggy and Sc10 .. Always thought they made quality products.. Thanks for the over view. Thumbs up.. :)

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@RCGirl]

Like I needed more convincing that that truck is amazing... Informative overview! Can't wait to see it in person.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Ha! There's been many good reviews, which speaks volumes.

[@year1camaro]

The real reviews will be in after the pre orders ship. All the guys that got one already I/ve never considered real reviews. Bias opinions?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Twisted Link Fabrications this is a real review. I’m shocked that you would think I’d compromise my integrity because I got a pre-release. If I don’t like something, I’m upfront and honest about it. This truck surprised me.

[@year1camaro]

I'm shocked you defended yourself on this as I didn't make it personal. I just never trusted reviews before the release. I believe in real world testing is all I said and that I don't trust pre-ship reviewers. Case in point where you can see an obvious down fall of this particular rig and it wasn't mentioned. But really, you can blame RC Action for my opinion. lol. Another point is most of the pre release rigs reviewed don't have a scratch on em. There really just "first look" videos. I'm a fan of these first look videos thou, saves me a trip to the local hobby shops that I hate visiting. haha

[@scalebuildersguild]

Twisted Link Fabrications how else should I take it? For the record, before this truck even hit the market, Element tested it for a year. I spent three days in the high desert putting it through it’s paces with an entire group of other reviewers. It’s very robust, and well engineered. Nothing broken. I wouldn’t give it the SBG logo on the sticker sheet if I didn’t think it was a good truck. I can appreciate what you’re saying though, and hope you understand that I’m pretty thorough and try to be as educated as possible when it comes to these first looks.

[@FalconWing1813]

Great review , hope to see more of this truck in action.

Thinking about getting into RCs again (definitely no expert here!LOL) and am thinking of this or the Redcat Gen 8 Scout II. Not looking to mod a whole bunch but will do some basic upgrades at some point so prefer RTR, and want something that is overall more trail oriented as opposed to just crawling, and these two seem to fit that bill--which one would you recommend and why? If you feel there are other, better options, I'm all ears for those as well! Thanks, and great vids!!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

The Element is probably the better truck of the two, and will offer a lot of interesting upgrades down the road.

A decent servo!!… In a RTR!!… does that mean I wont have to throw the servo away the same time I cut the cable ties that hold the truck in the box *haha* . Looks like Element has put some thought into this, overdrive is a nice touch, I'm loving overdrive. And still rocking my RC10B3 😊

[@bmc_rc6212]

great video! That truck looks pretty darn cool.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks, it's pretty great!

[@TheImtoomuch]

Great looking RTR truck and well equipped. The plastic pivot balls is a dumb move, but that's my only complaint. I'll take metal pillow balls in place of the metal driveshaft center piece that isn't needed if the driveshaft is high quality. You know who should take note? Axial. They're slipping towards the rear or the pack rather quickly. The tires and wheels look fantastic. Remember when Axial included plastic beadlock wheels way back when?

[@scalebuildersguild]

I'm sure we'll see something new from Axial soon. They're not sitting on their hands.

[@cesco_rc]

It is a really interesting truck, that gearbox is great. Love to get one. Super review Matt.

It's pretty great to have OD at the trans in an RTR!

[@humboldtef]

I got to see and hear about this first hand at Proline BTF and it really looks like a great rig. They've definitely come out swinging, once a kit is out (I hope) I'll be hard press to avoid buying it.

when I was running go fast stuff, the only thing I got was associated stuff , I have a couple dozen rc10s ,and rc10gts and a few on road associated and when they announced the sendora I just had to pre order mine. the body looks a lot like the mid 70s power wagon, and yes ive had a dozen or so of them,all at the same time. but I set my sendora aside waiting for the ramcharger body to come out.

Bravo AE for doing your homework beadlocks+,clear windows+,winch servo mount+,spring options can't wait to test drive one. Defiantly upgrade to metal gear when going to brushless ,but I guess that's to keep the cost down. Hopefully Hot Racing won't waste any time making an additional over or under ringgear to bump that o/u ratio up. Other than that and some lower brass should be good to go that's kinda how it goes with AE and Losi products you don't need a 100 upgrades like a honda civic.

You seem really thorough and comment back to people. I’m looking at this, TRX4 Bronco or SCX10.2 what do you recommend? Personally, I dig the SCX10.2 for the price and parts availability.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Traxxas is making big strides, but based on my personal preference, I’d choose the Sport kit as opposed to the full blown RTR’s. Unless you want the added servos for diffs and two speed.

[@ryanjess5111]

Second this. I've just replaced all of the micro servos in my TRX4 as they're junk, it's a fantastic rig otherwise though, very capable and versatile. 16 or so hours on it now and I'm only just getting issues with servos, I put mine through hell, too. I'd personally get the element, purely for the overdrive trans.

I was thinking about getting the gen 8. Now I'm really torn. This truck looks amazing! Which would you rather run?

Looks a really nice kit, AE know what they're doing. Shame the body isn't licensed I guess but it is tough looking.

That's a very nice addition to the scaler world ! Although the servo being the strongest of all RTRs, all Axial RTRs come with TSX45 servos which are 143 oz-in (4.8v) 151 oz-in (6v) so that's a phony claim there, but the transmission is a nice idea and who doesn't love steel Universals ! :D

Which way round is it... I have a Gelande 2 stock. Thanks

This is as five slot armature so the turns are misleading. Still very close to a traditional 35 turn, but much more torque and smoother startup.

Higher turns generally have more torque with a brushed motor, but that is a little different here because of the 5 slot armature.

[@toddbertram6556]

I think this is a pretty cool release for associated I haven't watched your whole video yet but I have research this truck and I find the over drive option very cool yet I think to over drive options less the neutral drive option seems a bit odd. I know some people like over drive and in general I think it's a helpful option but being forced to buy neutral drive gears just seems a little off to me. But I think this truck looks like a good option and I think they did a good job with the body the only other thing I think is a little bit strange is the fact that the bead locks being bead locks don't actually appear to be bead locks which puzzles me in terms of scale realisme you don't see a lot of trucks on the trail today in the 1 to 1 world not running bead locks unless they're super lightweight Suzuki samurais or something similar. But I look forward to see what you're going to do with this rig

[@daveTV]

Technically the neutral gears would just be replacement rear drive gears that can be put in the front drive of the transmission. I think most people will use the overdrive gear sets anyway.

@@daveTV still odd in my opinion that neutral drive is a further purchase. I like the overdrive as an option but it isnt an option here it is a necessity. 2 overdrive options seems strange vs. A neutral a d 9verdrive option.

They're gearing this towards those that want a competitive truck as a base, so it makes sense to me. 6% isn't all that much, barely noticeable.

Thanks Marc!

The x3 isn’t the tire compound. The tire is a licensed general grabber x3 mud terrain.

Did I say that it was? Oops!
