Hello world, I have an ElementRC Enduro Knightrunner that I recently purchased. I upgraded the electronics ASAP, threw some of the accessories on it, with Knight Customs 3D printed accessories as well, and my own custom-made 45° rooftop tent. Please exercise patients while my huge arse photos upload...

Why would anyone buy an Element? 🤣 OK, you got me, I'm a fan!

Love this, your Knight Runner is really great looking, excellent job on the pop up tent. :thumbs-up:
 
Tell me about it, I just ordered the Element Ecto last weekend, I have the Sendero HD, and the Trail Runner already. :)
You already ordered it? That is going to be SICK!

Did enough side work to cover it, so I got it ordered, should be there when I get home from work tonight. :)
 
My Sendero HD was my first full size crawler, I liked it enough to get the Trailrunner. Then the Ecto came out and I wanted to give it a shot. I keep wanting to try other brands but Element keeps putting out more stuff I want. The Knightrunner is sweet looking but I've gotta pace myself. 🤣

@Roanoke RC group Can't tell form the pics, did you drop the interior into your Knightrunner?

I don't have the interior in mine yet, but I've been printing all of the other exterior bits first. Hopefully soon though

I also expect my next rig being an Element now as well 😆
 
I've never had a Savox or a Hitec fail on me prematurely. I dont usually run anything but one of those 2 brands these days because of it. Although I run a lot more Savox than Hitec cuz they are less expensive but you know the old saying. You get what you pay for. Hmmmmm I hope I didnt just jinx myself too 🤣

I did buy a Reef 500 to try out though. I'm curious to see what those are all about.
 
I swear servos are just luck of the draw. I've had good luck with mine, but I have seen so many people have problems, no matter the brand. Hope I didn't just jinx myself. 🤔 🤣
With the cheaper ones I try to stick to Austar or Injora over those other bootleg brands. They're the same exact thing but QC checks seem to be more thorough.

Eventually I'll dish out on a baller servo, but for now this one isn't defective :P

I hear ya. I just got tired of the cheap ones either giving up the ghost early or not performing up to given specs. I figured instead of buying 2 $40 servos Id just buy 1 $80 servo. 🤷‍♂️
