The trailing arms are paired with a rear anti-roll bar for a more stable and consistent suspension when crawling on the rocks. This allows for a larger shock tuning window and improves weight bias.

Aimed towards the serious RC rock crawler enthusiast, the Enduro Ecto Trail Truck is packed full of performance features that are sure to impress.īuilt on Element RC's proven stamped steel C-channel chassis this truck features the Gatekeeper Suspension package (GKS) with rear trailing arms that move the shocks forward. This means your polycarbonate bodyshell looks more scale the more you drive it. This allows the paint to be scratched and weathered as you drive and scrape against rocks and branches. This Scratch 'N Weather bodyshell comes out of the box with a durable black exterior paint job. The Element RC Enduro Ecto Black Trail Truck 4x4 Ready to Run 1/10 Rock Crawler. I guess I'll find out when they arrive.Element RC Ecto Trail Truck w/Scratch 'N Weather Bodyshell I'm not sure if the steering rack will line up with the knuckles. I'm curious to see how these Bowhouse parts work with the Knight Customs lowering 3D prints. I did get the Bowhouse RC steering rack and bell crank parts ordered from Amain. Looking forward to seeing your pics once you get it done. Painting the PLA makes the part look more real. Whenever I need a good looking print, I'll use the space gray and then sand a paint the part the color I want. Another reason I like using the space gray color is that for some reason it prints better than my black filament.

My plan is to sand the skid smooth and apply a couple coats of paint to it to match the the stock skid. The skid I wanted it to be gray to match the 1:1 TRD skid plate. The top mounts are in gray so that I can see where it cracks if it does. You are partially right on the print color. ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place Can post few photos for you (and others) to see, once the trans in back in. If I'm 'lucky', I'll finally be able to program the ESC (if I can remember where I put the Spektrum Smart programming box).

after thorough testing, you'd probably reprint in black?).Īfter taking a short break from RC (due to family emergency), mine is a couple steps closer to completion (got all the Bowhouse strict upgrade parts, and LCG battery tray, installed.but, need to reinstall the trans, after installing the pinion (which finally arrived)). Think the 3D-printer parts would have looked better in black, but I'm guessing you either didn't have black at the time.or (the more likely possibility), you purposely printer them in gray, to make any 'breakage' easier to see (ie. Hey, Brian, looking forward to seeing it finished.and, how it 'holds up'. I'll be cracking this box open later today and starting on the build. They always do a great job on securing everything in the box and the tape job on the outside is fantastic! Speaking of Element RC, I think out of all my many orders, Element has the nicest looking and well packaged packages. A new GK Builders Kit and a shipment of assorted parts sent directly from Element RC. With a few orders of parts, this new build will evolve into the tiny version of my 1:1 Tacoma.Ī couple orders arrived this past week to start the new build. This new GK Kit will now be the GK-Knightrunner build that I previously had planned for the Ecto. And since the price of the Gatekeeper Builders Kit is still crazy cheap, I went ahead and picked up another GK Kit.

Well, after building the GK-Ecto and really liking how it looks and how it has all come together, I've decided to keep this as an Ecto permanently. I've heard many good things about the Ecto and how good it does right out of the box and how it will drive lines and keep up with most flat rail chassis'. In the meantime though, my plan is to pick up an Ecto body and see just how good these rigs are. 'The end goal is to use this kit to build this kit using the IFS and Knightrunner body to build a tiny version of my 1:1 Toyota Tacoma. Looking back at my first post of this thread, this was the plan: So as I mentioned a few post back, I've decided to go a different route with this build.
