Element RC Utron rc crawler unboxing and torture test review - can ultron survive?

[@dezfan]

Best RTR crawler I’ve purchased in years has been my Enduro SE. With a few upgrades, tires, wheels, electronics. It crawls like a goat. It smokes Base Camps, TRX4s, and even the mighty Phoenix! I’m super impressed with Element’s latest offerings. Can’t wait for a V3 builders kit! 😎

[@TRKISH324]

It is killer indeed. Amazing suspension setup. I need to change out the steering link balls for metal for less play

[@rockeight]

Yer mate I agree I have the trailwalker few mods like 1080 and a 13t holmes motor even with 1.55 tyres it slays big dollar trucks... Love element trucks have sendero too

[@RCPropaganda]

lol not allowed to run a toy in the forest? Soon in this country we won't be allowed to go to the bathroom with out permission. What a time to be alive.

[@White000Crow]

I wonder if cops just make stuff up because it’s an inconvenience to someone else.

[@cookeemon67]

We're not allowed to use our trucks in open spaces or any parks even tho we pay for them with our taxes and fees. It's absolutely Ludacris.

[@dhcho4473]

It's heartbreaking to see Enduro RC broken. We look forward to the improved performance of IFS2. The Enduro series has always shown satisfactory performance. Looking at your review is full of anticipation and joy. Thank you.

[@shafiqjan1474]

That's an ouch, luckily they make parts... 👍🏻

[@davidclymer2207]

I actually just bought a Utron last week. I was intrigued by the IFS2 and it seemed like a steal at $299, RTR. I'm very impressed with its performance. It performs as well as my SCX10II and TRX4 (front battery) in most situations, and the CG is noticeably lower. It's very stable front to back on steep hill climbs, too. I think the long wheelbase and front motor help with that. I was using a small 2200 mah 3S battery in the shorty tray. I expected the small tires and front skidplate to hurt performance, but I found the tires to be very grippy, and in practice the front clearance is quite good. Sorry to hear about your mishap. Definitely rebuild it. The parts at the back should be the same as the regular SE, so they're readily available.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

I'm ok with the body but the color does it no favors! That Tacoma will look amazing, though. Very happy with the performance. Pretty nicely balanced but maybe some more weight down low and a new esc (1080 or maybe a Fusion SE?). Tires? It will make a great trail rig 👍 Thanks for the review!

[@dericknewton9552]

Awesome, this video was worth it ❤ Edit: Bummer about it getting crushed on the first test, though. 😅

[@Elisplushies360woodierc]

Damn! You took the torture test to the extreme.

[@lualrosaal]

We never got to the end of this review. Perhaps you should get the new Zuul with the same front IFS and the Gatekeeper back suspension. I got me one and it surprised the heck out of me. It's super capable right out of the box (save for the tiny tires). A set of good wheels and tires and you are done! A big surprise... and it looks great too!!

[@mauriciodelvalle4648]

Love ur reviews

[@KickyTop]

nice car, look good with the new IFS version.

[@G9RCCar]

This RC looks really good, but there's something weird, why is the axle sticking out like that?

[@TheFuentesv]

Any update on this RTR?

[@hktcss]

Need to see this against a TRX4 Sport and a Base Camp

[@rockeight]

Not allowed to run electric rc in forest thats sad what have we become

[@BSalc]

Wow it’s one of those head scratchers lol. Hopfully they send you another one.

[@bongers94]

Oh man,sorry to hear about your new Utron,a rebuild video would be appropriate

[@adamrodgers2377]

It's cool, I can see it making a neat Trail Truck or Scale Baja Truck.

[@buysncharge]

The brand itself is top shelf. It's a solid platform. I see it giving axial problems.

[@adamrodgers2377]

​@@buysnchargeI believe Element is already giving Axial a problem and I have more Axials than any other RC Crawler.

[@buysncharge]

@adamrodgers2377 I'm thinking about getting one. Not sure which one. The tires from the box look pretty good. Axial.. is about 18% too much money for what you get. And the SCX6 has plastic gears... which kills me.

[@adamrodgers2377]

@@buysncharge I personally don't believe you can go wrong with a Element ECTO those are badass and awesome Crawlers. I am just to deep into Axial to change even though I believe out of the box you WAAAAY more with a Element than Axial.

[@buysncharge]

@adamrodgers2377 I'm so sick of RTR I buy a frame and built my trucks from random aftermarket parts. But if i buy an RTR. I say TRX4 high trial or Maybe the Utron. Looks different. I'm bound to get one eventually.

[@rivierarc]

Man that sucks. I remember my first RC, a Hornet. Sent it down my road and a construction truck ran the rear end over... i was gutted

[@xaviersrcadventures2955]

It kinda looks like you where by the cabins at lake Yellowstone. If so I spent years there working and I had my rc crawlers and they never said again.

[@mikeluther60]

Do you want to sell it? I have a friend who would like the independent front suspension.

[@black99rt]

This would go well with a new bronco body since its IFS and links.

[@maxwell5428]

Uhhh that remote really should have a foam wheel. The $150 scx24s come with the foam wheel on the fly sky 4 channel.

[@pocketfuloducks1062]

Oh man, what a sad ending!

[@krashkingrc9715]

Ouch looked good till that point

[@mauriciodelvalle4648]

Repair it or use the front suspension to build something amazing

[@rcjono]

The Utron body, sad and sorry to say is something I really cannot like or appreciate. Wonder what happened. The lines are just unpleasant and looks weird. The IFS2 though looks promising. I fell in love with my IFS1 knightrunner

[@snyperal]

I think the body looks better now. 😂

[@norushrc]

I’ll buy it !

[@TRKISH324]

Weird I thought they put different tires on the Utron from SE. Guess I made that up😂

[@paulnorton7444]

Oh no why dont they let run crawlers in the forest surely they don't t damage anything or is it to stop 6s bashers. A little unfair.

[@jeremymiller2340]

Its different but i like it for sure. Very unique body love the concept the went with personally. Im still drooling over your new drone 😁 omg that was horrible brother- thats a shame you cant run electronic cars i understand not bieng able to run nitro but electronic rc is foolish. I completely feel the pain of that mishap. Some days just happen 😎

[@bryanwhat2268]

well at least you didnt puncher the lipo

[@davidbanaszak562]

The FJ didn’t like the poor nock off… I prefer a true FJ also..

[@bod3000]

Oh francis

[@Luke-en2tk]

That was a short one 😂

[@TrokaRC]

Oh man...

[@tigerone2353]

Broke while running it over with a real truck? Doesn't sound too durable...😅

[@jeromehieb6267]

WOW you f-that up

[@garretdykstra9015]

Durability ? If they build onr to survive it be impressive 😂

[@lesabre1972]

300.00 Plus tax and shipping.

[@lesabre1972]

I like my 1/18 scale ones better.

[@my89foxbody1]

Looks better ran over!

[@BROtheBRAWLER]

😂😂😂

[@AgeOrmstad]

Shit happens man 😢

[@rcjoe406]

Oops lol

[@enchantkeymike8170]

Shit happens 😂

[@winksley1981]

Think you can keep the best bits....ie just the wheels. Thats all. Think you actually made it look better tbh.....no polite way to express how looking at it made me feel...
