Hello watching your VRD carbon kit build ( next on my build list ) you hold links with a plastic block during assembly. Can you share info on that tool ? Great videos Thank You for build information

I'm assuming you're not talking about my shock pliers, but what I used for the rod ends. It's a rod-end tool that I 3d printed.

@@RevolutionX Thank You I’ll see what I can put together

Just looking at getting this kit or the SCXiii basecamp, TRX4 chassis or the TRX4 Sport. Great timing for this video! Any thoughts on the best option for a first time builder? Thanks.

For a first time builder, I'd probably stick the SCX10III Basecamp kit, TRX4 Sport, or the Element Enduro Builder's kit. If you want portals then it'd be the 10.3 or the TRX4 Sport. The TRX4 Sport will come with body and wheels though which is perfect if you're more into trailing rather than hardcore rock walls. TRX4s really like to become heavy when you start gearing it for performance though. I don't have experience with the Basecamp kit yet, but I've built the JLU Kit. The Basecamp will be a better performer than the JLU kit because of the transmission and where the motor sits as opposed to the JLU 10.3 Kit. My JLU kit is a great trail rig as well, so that might be an option for you too if you like Jeeps. The Element Enduro kit will be the most nimble and versatile of the bunch as well as being a lot simpler with the straight axles. It's a close parallel to what the SCX10.2 was. A versatile and very capable chassis depending on how you set it up.

Thanks for such a detailed reply. I’ll have a look at the Enduro kit. Very much looking forward to the watching this build! Thanks.
