I've told you before and I'll keep telling you again and again.....you are by far the best reviewer I have ever seen on KZbin! Your in depth reviews are spot on! You don't hold back on saying what you feel is wrong or can be improved on any rc sent to you. This is just one reason I follow you, that and because you explain things to those of us that are new to rc in such a way that we can understand what you are saying and not just throw out a lot of lingo that only veterans of rc can understand! That area was gorgeous! I have never been to the NE part of the US but I have seen everywhere from New York state south and west! That is definitely some beautiful country up there that I need to travel too someday. Thank you so much for all your great videos, reviews, and honest opinions! You are a great teacher for those of us still trying to learn as much as we can about the great world of rc! BTW I've been trying to post some videos to my KZbin but they're no where near your quality! Maybe someday I'll get there! Lol.

When I saw the front of the truck it screamed out Ford Bronco to me, at least the grill does. Oh, maybe an international Scout, just the grill though. Regardless of what vehicle it is modeled after it looks cool, I like it. It looks like the big brother of the CR12. I am so proud of AE and the fact that they stepped up and made a 1/10 scale crawler to compete with the other companies. Who knows maybe I will become an AE snob again, I have already washed my hands of Traxxas and their constant bullying. YEAH AE!!!!! Great video man, you did that truck Justice.

I’m considering the Trail Walker version as it’s less and I have my old Traxxas stock 1.9 wheels and tires and have some oem proline open cell foams from the Predator Krawlers I just bought that I’m using with dual stage on my TRX4. I think this Element is lighter weight so it’ll work well with the super soft foams. For $299 cant go wrong

It really shows great potential right there. The overdrive tranny and the sharp turning radius are both eye openers, although one needs to be aware that this kit comes with a very very light and low lexan body which helps a lot on these 1st previews reviews around the internet. Even my old G2 without that heavy hard d90 body can* (after spending a few hundreds on add-ons) perform similarly under the same conditions. What I'd like to see is a direct comparison between this new truck and a scx-10 II right out of the box. One thing I didnt like is the arrangement of the electronics which appears to unable full 3d interiors.
