[@GREENFROGRC]

Outstanding work with the weathering Ecto looks great.

[@krlaturn]

Thx man! I’ll tell my wife! 👊🏻

[@Firewlkre]

Happy bday,as always great video,especially like your style of buying great parts using common sense and explaining to folks most expensive is not always best or needed.plz keep makin video's,thx!

[@krlaturn]

Thx my friend! Appreciate that! Thank you for watching and the support brother!

[@AdventureTimeRC]

I just picked one up spent all day re painting it you did a great job

[@krlaturn]

I hear ya brother! It needs help out the box 😂

[@krlaturn]

Yours looks phenomenal btw!

[@RoadsideRC]

Looking great. Love the wheels and interior. I moved my battery up next to the servo. Every little bit helps! subscribed!

[@krlaturn]

Thx man! Sure appreciate the view and sub! I cut down the battery tray and left in existing location because I have a Servo winch on the way. But yeah this thing will crawl! Took it out this past weekend with my buddies $1200 comp rig. It kept up pretty well! Pretty impressive!

[@ateuprc659]

Amazing job!! Looks real nice!! Great video!!

[@RC-Crawlers]

This is exactly the direction I was thinking for my ecto! That body came out great. My fusion arrives at the end of the week so I’m definitely looking forward to it. Great vid, subscribed

[@ekpauly]

Very nice build, clean, simple, and functional 👍🏼. And Happy Birthday. I’m going to hit that number this year as well.

[@krlaturn]

Thx man! I have to keep things simple. Got me a simple brain🤪. Thx 4 watching and commenting bro!

Nice RC

[@fishnrc294]

I just installed the same motor/esc & a Reefs servo in my new Ecto. SSD back weights & front knuckles. Rock Pirates shock towers. I’m just waiting on my tires & metal bead locks. But man in RTR version there’s nothing wrong with it but after running it with the upgrades it just blows my mind. I can see where maybe adding dig may also add a nice feature. I also have Rock Pirates sliders to install so after everything this maybe my favorite truck & I have the new Capra & TRX Bronco. But this thing is just so nice.

[@krlaturn]

Yes, hard to beat the smoothness of that motor paired with that transmission!!

[@ShadeTree_RC]

same motor i got in mine excellent control and plenty enough torque to get the job done .....nice rig man

[@krlaturn]

Thx for watching and commenting bro! Yeah it’s a great setup

[@warpspeed9.985]

Man that looks 100% better!!! I picked up a gatekeeper that I'm working on and I'm not even going to build the cage. I'm waiting on the ecto clear body to become available. A little tip, I always back a body with black. But first you need a coat of silver or white before doing the black. It won't bleed through that way.

[@krlaturn]

Yeah I normally back with silver first but I was out. But trust me, the yellow was so thin white or silver would’ve bled. I too am waiting on the clear body! Saw one website that it would be available in September.

[@warpspeed9.985]

@@krlaturn . I heard September 7th. I hope so. Lol

[@metalrc]

That ugly body turned out pretty good ! Good job on the weathering !

[@krlaturn]

Thank you so much for the compliment my brother! And thx for the support👍🏻

[@PhilBrindley]

That looks fantastic now, great job. I've got one on the way, looking forward to comparing it to my Gspeed/Element Power Wagon build. I wonder how well it will do against a custom comp style rig?

[@krlaturn]

Went out over the weekend with my buddy who has a full blown $1200 comp rig. The ecto did awesome! It effortlessly did every line the comp rig did except one spot. Pretty stoked that a budget truck like this can crawl this well. To compete tho it would need more scale points which would add weight. The ecto is already heavier than the comp rig which is pointed out scale wise.. but still amazing for a RTR chassis!

[@krlaturn]

Your gspeed element is awesome👊🏻 I just watched your videos last night ironically. Went over to the gspeed webpage after your video.. umm, I think I’ll wait a bit before I go that far! I’m more of a scale trail truck guy but I am intrigued! I used to go all out on my fast stuff a few years back!

[@PhilBrindley]

@@krlaturn That's good to hear. A few of my RC buddies have been getting tempted when they see my Gspeed, but even though I built it pretty cheap it is still quite a lot of money, and if they have no intention to comp then seems a bit over the top. I was thinking that the Ecto might be a more cost effective solution for them and they are very kindly letting me spend my money first to find out 🤣. I didn't take much convincing though.

[@PhilBrindley]

I think this is by far the best Ecto I've seen, and it may well influence the direction I go with mine. Thinking of getting a second body kit for it and having a nice weathered scale looking one and a bashing one. Love the interior too, Gatekeeper?

[@krlaturn]

@@PhilBrindley thanks man! Yeah I wanted a second body too when I bought this rig. The clear bodies are out of stock everywhere.. I plan to do a shelf body once they are available again!

[@Mr450pro]

Nice video, I like the look 👌🏻 I just ordered the Ecto and my plans, was to buy a Hobbywing Fusion 1800kv to put in it. Did you go with 1200kv or 1800kv?

[@krlaturn]

1800kv, works great!

[@Mr450pro]

@@krlaturn Thanks buddy I’ll go for the 1800kv then

[@BilBonRc-AlchemistDub]

Hi i have one and i want to put an HW fusion too. Did you put the 1800kv with the original pignion? thanks in advance 🙂

[@krlaturn]

Yes I did. It’s not fast that way btw. But it’s a Billy goat that will climb anything

[@BilBonRc-AlchemistDub]

@@krlaturn many thanks for your answer 😁
