Element RC Enduro Sendero | Upgrades - Should You Upgrade to 11.83% Overdrive Gears?

[@PRaysCorner]

The Enduro seems more like Spider-man! It climbs more sure-footed, which I love to see (slow, methodical movement, more "realistic" to the real-world rock crawlers that I watch). Nice comparison!

Thanks P.Ray! We need to head out sometime. Let me know when you have time.

Great!!! small changes, big impact👍💪😎

[@BigSungHobbies]

Yes, small change, but it improved climbing abilities quite bit. If you tend to crawl, then it should definitely be taken advantage of. For normal trail rides, I think the stock 5.7% overdrive is actually not too bad...provides good balance.

Awesome vid bro great climbing the overdrive really seemed to make a difference

[@BigSungHobbies]

As far as climbing, overdrive just even that extra 6% made quite bit of difference. Most comp guys are running 30-45% range in OD. Not sure if I want to go that high. HR Racing has UD2 that allows to go about 24%. I might give that a try sometime.

Sweet job saving comment for other video lol!

Thanks!

I noticed the noise increased after installing the overdrive gears, is that normal?

[@BigSungHobbies]

Between stock 5.7% vs. 11.83%, I did not notice increase in noise. Did you make sure to grease it before putting it back?

[@joenames670]

@@BigSungHobbies yes I did, i will look onto it again thanks.

[@joenames670]

@@BigSungHobbies found the issue, the motor was mounted improperly causing a bad mesh, had to use different screw holes on the motor and it's perfect now

[@BigSungHobbies]

Awesome. Glad to hear that you got it sorted out.

Let’s face it, since the bottom line is the most important thing for any company the fact that they are included I think says it all. The product engineers for the Enduro line of trucks must have convinced upper management that this gear set should be included to make the trucks better in the long run. Take the small hit to the profit margin and we will sell more trucks in the long run.

[@BigSungHobbies]

I fully agree! Thanks for the comment.
