Element ECTO goes LCG - GCRC Caiman Chassis Upgrade

In my last video I reviewed the GCRC Caiman Chassis, and on first impressions it's brilliant. So I'm super excited to get this installed in to the ECTO to try out.

Love this build. I have been looking for someone to do this so I can transform mine. Thank you sir so very much for taking time to share your knowledge and skill set with us learning.

Glad to help 🤙

Looks great. Can't wait to see it finished

Thank you my friend. 🤙

Thanks Dan. Shakedown run went well, can’t wait to put it through its paces properly. 🤙

Another good video Phil good job you've got a spares stash . I'm fortunate in that I can make and or adjust links at work but definitely need to add to my stock of bolts . Looking forward to next installment of this build 👍👍👍

[@PhilBrindley]

Thanks Geoff, the spares did come in handy for sure. I like to think that I make the mistakes, so others don't have to 🤪

[@pocketfuloducks1062]

Another great video, sir! Love the music choice too

[@PhilBrindley]

Thank you. The music was a happy find, made me chuckle and seems to fit perfectly for those D’oh! moments that I seem to regularly have. 🤣

Looking good buddy 👍

[@PhilBrindley]

Thank you! 🤙

That rrc servo mount is awesome, had mine for months now and no issues.

[@PhilBrindley]

It certainly looks like a good quality item, and (spoiler alert) works great so far. 🤙

[@richie_rich75]

Looks good and for shocks I would have used the FT shock (90mm) if the lizards 🦎 don’t work out for you. Am doing a RPRC interceptor chassis build and still haven’t decided to use element enduro gk or vanquish vs4-10 w/portals. Can’t wait to see the complete build running

[@PhilBrindley]

Thanks. The wheelbase I ended up with just meant that the 90mm DLs were too short for the rear axle in the “semi-droop” that I wanted. The 100mm seem spot on, but we’ll see how they perform!

[@ekpauly]

Don’t use 100mm shocks..ever. Get some traxxas 2660 big bore and convert them to losi mini T springs. Or just get some Dlux fab dravtech shocks. Awesome progress though. I can’t wait to see more. 🤙🏽

[@PhilBrindley]

Too late 🤣. I know it’s generally considered a bad idea, but I need the reach rather than the travel. Can always limit the travel if it has too much flex. At least that’s my theory 🤪.

Is there a link for the skid and rells
