Element Ecto Gets Brass!

[@goldviper5280]

I have learnt so much from you. I am just learning the hobby at age 73.

[@ExocagedRC]

73? You’re still young enough to fully enjoy it. This can be one of the most challenging and relaxing hobbies you can get into. With the smaller scx24’s you can build them to no end and crawl on the dining room table and have a blast. Thank you for being a part of the channel buddy.

[@stevenbrooks7776]

Hey, I'm a recently disabled 63 year old and got into it about a year ago. I've now got 7 '24s, I've built a small crawler course in my small yard, I can use em in the house, they are the most addicting fun that you will have. I'm now getting into the 1/10, I got a gatekeeper, and swap between its body and an ecto body. I had just as much fun modifying them as I do driving em. Keeps the brain sharper, gets you outside, meet new people with the same interests. What more could you ask for from a "toy"

[@JS-ji5bl]

That's cool I'm 55 and I'm just getting into it.. enjoy your new hobby happy wheeling..

[@fritzdallmann2139]

This little rig has really impressed me a lot!

[@Prince_Pig]

Really nice to see these stage by stage upgrades, you've convinced me to build a competition worthy Ecto. Thanks

[@R3DB3ARD92]

Can't wait to get my parts in! Wish I had the same coarse as yours in my back yard!!

[@westdesertwheeler]

That truck is working great now!

[@RC-jt2gx]

I have been going absolutely nuts on this Ecto series of yours Joe!! Just look how little you have done to it (so far 😁) to get it to perform really well. I'm anxious to see it eventually up against SV2. But, SV1 first. Great videos!!!!!!! 👍

[@ExocagedRC]

I did the SV1 vs Ecto today. Gotta edit it but….

[@Friskee62]

Excellent...I will be purchasing the Ecto truck very shortly...thanx

[@LiveEazy]

Bro you just took me on a roller coaster of emotions this morning haha, watched the Ecto videos from first drive to first upgrades to this video and I’m so stoked you nailed crack of doom, I don’t know if I could’ve slept tonite without seeing that hahah great vids man!!

[@shafiqjan1474]

I watched this episode again because I love my SSD Brass pieces. Reefs RAW 500 SSD Axles Rock pirate stuff Bow house stuff SOR stuff HW Fusion Pro 3Bros anti-foams 4 sets of tires 🤦‍♂️ Kinetic winch(elastic shoelace) She came out easy to corner balance 👍

[@warbuzzard7167]

Awesome video, and great data on the upgrades. Now I know what to get.

[@tonyg315]

This build is pretty sweet!

Thanks!

Really impressive truck there..

Man I want to buy this thing just based on how exited you were on performance!! Lol. Great video!

Fell like I watched this once lol killer little truck thanks Joe

[@ExocagedRC]

LoL yep! Thanks!

[@NCmountainsYouTubeChannel]

Watched to the end Amazing crawling with the upgrades 👉💯💯👌💪

[@derekmcguire8794]

Hey, just out of curiosity I've watched several of your videos and you mentioned living in Tennessee and was wondering where this crawler park is since I live in south west Tennessee and my town doesn't really have any where like this except by natural spots like by the river or our city parks drainage ditch which is a great spot, just like to have new spots to crawl. Thanks in advance.

[@g-man329]

Wow that’s so cool. What do I need to do with my gen8 scout to get it to go that slow? I love that slow crawl

[@runnerbaba]

[@travistaylor8122]

This truck is badass! You should do stealthx metal gears out of the kit truck, im thinking maybe a Ecto build on an lcg chassis. Brent at brazin-scale-rc could set you up with a really nice colored carbon ATL pro

[@ExocagedRC]

I’ve been thinking about one of their chassis. Just haven’t done it yet

[@DrClawizdead]

Did you put googly eyes on the front? I like your style.

[@scottdaubenspeck2291]

Awesome video. These lil rigs here are looking better n better each time you post a video. May have to pick 1 up for myself. And you still have stock servo. Thats the impressive aspect of this video. LOL. You must still be out of Raw500s? Thats why stock servo is still in this rig.

[@ExocagedRC]

LoL well I’m not sure what I want to put in here yet. I’m torn between Reefs 777 and a Holmes SHV800.

[@scottdaubenspeck2291]

@@ExocagedRC OOoooooo going big in such a light truck. Why not the raw500?

[@warren6814]

This is a great video and really shows what the Ecto can do with some tweaking! I'd probably buy one tomorrow if it had portal axles.....i like me some ground clearance! Have you run it against say the Vanquish Pheonix?

[@Justyoutubing479]

Awesome!!!! Hey do you have a part number for that quiet esc. ??

[@thomasvanderpool4735]

I have really been liking my gatekeeper but I think I might throw on the Ecto body to get it to perform even better. I weighed the the cage and panels, it weighed 442 grams. I would run my body without the roll cage. Any idea how much the Ecto body weighs? Was curious how much weight I would save. Awesome video like usual!!!

[@ExocagedRC]

I haven’t weighed the body alone but it’s gotta be close to the creep. I’d have to look back on other videos showing Superlite to find that weight.

[@thomasvanderpool4735]

Ok, ya that makes sense. I have a gen 8 with a creep body that is my class 2 rig, I will bring the creep body to my shop and weight it on the paint scale there. Or it will give me an excuse to watch the SV1 videos for the 3rd or 4th time haha. Love the content! Only channel I try to watch ever video released. Best part is I wake up to a new video every day!

[@Chon-c]

@joe ? You have made a purdy good rig out of that 👍 I mean wow.! Dude ? When I saw you get that ? I honestly thought it was a mistake 💁‍♂️ lol. I don’t think I’ve been this wrong about a rig before. Lol But hey? With all of that front bias … you should try a FULL DRUPE with it & see what that does. You can probably squeezes lil more out of it . I think you could even go to bent links in place of the trac arms. Idk. Cuz I’m just assuming . But I think that would make a really cool full drupe rig (in the back only I mean) That Home’s system is freaking awesome in that truck. That makes it ! And it seems it could even stand going up another tooth or two on the pinion.

[@ExocagedRC]

Thanks. Yeah I’m happy with it. I kinda like the rear suspension as is. I may try with out Swaybar just to see how it does. I’ve never had much luck with droop setups on my jagged concrete rocks.

[@pauls1816]

It’s amazing how little you have to do to this truck to do all this

[@j2themen07]

Love the video! Loving my ecto ! Have you found any aftermarket trailing arms and or drive shafts for this?

[@ExocagedRC]

I haven’t looked. The stock ones are perfect for me.

[@j2themen07]

@@ExocagedRC if they are good enough for you they’re good enough for me

[@j2themen07]

@@ExocagedRC thank you for the reply btw and I love your channel

[@4x4fabrication]

will you be four linking the front? also does four linking give you more articulation?

[@ExocagedRC]

Probably not. 4-linking can give better articulation. Better as in steering while flexed out and accuracy

[@MadHouseRc]

Man do I want this rig so bad

[@shootertg]

Have you had any trouble with the Samix hubs twisting? Mine will not stay where they started. It’s been pretty aggravating!

[@ExocagedRC]

I havent noticed any issues with them. its a light truck and only used for crawling so maybe thats why?

[@neilpawlyk9457]

Great video Joe. This whole Ecto series has been great to watch. Awesome to seem the progression with the upgrades. I have a Sendero myself that I've thrown a lot of upgrades on. It's a great truck. A couple questions, first do the Samix 10.2 Brass C-hubs bolt on easily? (Thinking of getting some myself now) And could you of done crack of doom with the brushed system? Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@jaredthompson8188]

Would you say the ecto is worth getting over the enduro kit and going from there?

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah I think it’s awesome.

[@michaellenheiser3157]

Have you weighed the Ecto vs Creep body to see if weight distribution is improved or negligible.

[@s13kuminachu]

Joe did you build this course with obstacles in mind or was it more of a slap it together and find the lines after type of build? Curious on your process. Thanks.

[@ExocagedRC]

A little of both. Tossed it down and then adjusted to work with the trucks

[@rezzrollinrc]

Ooh Exo ec-toe 2.0 😂🤣👊🏽

[@lsswaptheworld9092]

You might want to print out something light to cover the holes in the body.

[@BNIRc]

Want one of these pro crawlers so bad just don't really have a serious area to run them trX4 it's best of both worlds

[@roadrash76]

I just bought this rig. What mods did you perform on it to make it capable as in this video?

Just put a 1080esc and a 3s lipo in my crawler um I brock it lol it is fast need to buy rear half shafts for it do u know of a good brand for axile scx10 2

[@longcrawler]

Sounds like if I get the C-hubs I'll need new bearings.???

[@brianlongto866]

you should try the AFG clw73 32kg servo. its extremely under rated its over 600oz at 8.4v

[@CasperRc81]

You could see with just a tire change that rig would be a beast

[@thebeardedman-drenaline5546]

Just trimming stock tires made a huge difference and also hair ties on the shocks up front helped lower front to keep it planted better...it's a beast🔥

where is this crawl spot????

Middleburg Florida

[@johann1510]

The Samix SCX 10.2 Brass C-Hubs is not a perfect fit. The Panhard Bar Mount is different and changes the geometry of the truck. Once installed the car geometry moved far to the left. The other recommended parts fit perfect.

[@just_inolredneck8319]

The roll bar makes it look good… it won’t look like the creeps… imo and why’s it making that weird alien 👽 noise?

LoL that’s the Revolver motor and Crawlmaster Mini ESC.
