Soze adds an Enduro Sendero RTR to the fleet.

That cage looks like it sticks pretty far out back. Is it hurting your departure angles?

It's the same length as the stock Enduro bed, but narrower and without the rear bumper.

So.... it actually wouldn't be as hard as you think for the 1/10 driver to get that spare out. I'll have to take a picture, but that tire rack can flip up. I have it zip tied down right now though.

If you check out my BOM thread, you'll see how it's actually supposed to work, but I didn't screw in the bottom of the tire rack, and now it's able to flip up.

oh, i totally see that now. neato! "thumbsup"

Looks good! "thumbsup"
We've been late getting to CDM 2 weekends in a row and the line to get in was all the way to PCH. :roll:

This new Element platform is on fire!! :mrgreen:

NICE video soze. That truck was pulling some nice lines. Those tires were hooking up really well.

The Enduro Sendero got its first hill climb under its belt last Sunday.

Element team had an invite to crawl with them last night at CDM. Went out there and had a fun time. Was shown how to make it up a line that I've been wondering about by John Schultz. Can't wait to keep practicing that line.

The Element team also started going up this ridiculous line I haven't seen before. Holy moly! My truck wasn't setup well enough to do it, but now I've got something to shoot for!

They were running with some weight in the front, which I don't have yet. So... I'll be trying to figure out how to set my truck up in order to make that line.

The way it handled in the hill climb video, the added chub and knuckles up front there's no doubt you'll be getting it!!! Keep up the great work!!

That's cool you had the chance to go out and run with the Element team. I've seen that they are out there quite often.

It makes it fun to watch someone else make a stupid line that you know you can't make. It gives you something to shoot for.

Good luck and I'm sure you will make that line in no time!

Really digging your Enduro brotha! Like the cage much more then the bed for sure! Great work with the video bro! Looks to be pretty capable. Looking forward to seeing that thing climb the new line at CDM Rocks.

Nice looking truck! If you had to choose one out of the BOM, Enduro, and SCX10, which would you choose?

It would be between the BOM and Enduro.

Hard to choose one between the two as there's features of both that are unique.

BOM = Quiet Transmission (with updated housing), Cantilever suspension/V suspension for truck bed/flat bed clearance.

Enduro = Overdrive Transmission, BTA steering.

They're both great to drive. Everything I can do with one, I can do with the other.

If I had to choose an axle... I like the way the BOM axle looks better.

Element would be easier parts support for me though, since Associated is based down the street from me.


I'm going to take the BOM out this weekend and see if I can use it to make the lines the Element guys were running. At least with the BOM, I'm able to run the knuckles and hubs from SSD made for the SCX10.2.

Had a chance to visit club5 Racing in Taipei, Taiwan on my vacation. Here's a quick look at their office/shop. I went there to pick up some parts for my Enduro!

Very cool vid Jim.
What an awesome trip. "thumbsup"

 

[Topher Builds]

Thanks for sharing, it was a nice watch for the morning "thumbsup"

 

[B-MOW71]

Yeah, cool video Soze!"thumbsup"

Since I don't ever see myself getting the chance to take a trip to Taiwan, it was a great to get a little peak of Taiwan and inside of Club5 Racing.

Looking forward to seeing the parts you picked up while you were there!

 

[LincolnofDeath]

I’ve enjoyed all of your build, adaptive experiments...and now the metro ride out to Hongshulin. I especially like that eighth scale water bottle next to the Sendero on the table. What is that, water for ants? "thumbsup"

Thanks Chris, I was really missing the rocks though. I'm not a big city person at all LOL. I like the suburban life.

Owner is a really nice guy. Was nice to sit down and chat with him. He's a real enthusiast, and club5 is a post-retirement thing for him. So awesome to be able to do that!

I also got to see the new SLW brass hubs they just announced in person. Pretty nice stuff.

Forgot to post about this.

Recently I installed some SSD goodies.

SSD RC Enduro Brass Knuckles SSD00357
SSD RC Enduro Rear Axle Weight SSD00354

The knuckles as usual, are quality and look really nice!

So nice! Everything fit as it should.

Onto the rear. I wasn't sure if I wanted to put weights in the rear, but with me running that cage in the back, I thought it would help.

Really liking the new bits.

 

[B-MOW71]

Nice!"thumbsup"

These look really nice! I'm really liking the color of them. I will be getting the SSD brass knuckles for mine soon.

I'm still looking for a good option to swap out the stock plastic chubs.

 

[Up'n'Over]

I'm a fan of the SSD heavy brass knuckles. I have some on almost all my trucks. Samix makes some brass hexes you can use to replace those plastic ones. STRC also has aluminum ones, which is what I have on my truck.

Keep up the good work!
