Last night, after a week plus of studying 1/10 crawlers, I purchased a Element Enduro Ecto Black. Purchased from RC Hobby Explosion located in Texas. They had a $40 off Labor Day coupon code. I couldn't resist any longer. I also purchased a XT60 battery & Deans T to XT60 adapter so I can upgrade to a HW Fusion Pro FOC 2300kv with a XT60 later. The battery may be on the heavy side, but a 4200mah & was $25. Pretty excited & I'll keep this thread going, the unboxing & 1st runs & build thread-upgrades.

I've had that in my wishlist since they released it. I love the look and I've heard they are very capable out of the box.

Enjoy.
 
Hopefully I orchestrated all the purchases to arrive before this weekend. I did order a 12awg 4mm bullet charge lead w/ a XT60, as I didn't have any XT60 stuff.

Cool lookin kit!
Its RTR.

all of these for the most part were too stiff, instead of biting they would just slip as the compound was tooo stiff

All of the hyrax clones are probably going to suck unless they are the newer S5 or S4 compound. The injora comp pins are really good in 1.0” but I haven’t tried them in 1.9” yet.
