Fantastic new product! I'll get this on my Gatekeeper/Ecto soon!

Great video 👌🏻 I’m one of those guys who hate to tinker, so I’ll wait for someone to make the parts to fit, so I don’t have to 🙂

Cool new Sub. 😎 very nice quality 👌. Long video but extremely informative!!! Step by step is much appreciated.

Very nice!!!

Ha! I'm watching this as background while I modify my little Losi mini T into a short course truck. I had to cut the body for the rear shock tower but it looks cool and different. Used one of the WlToys 1/18 bodies. Just need to jack up the shocks so the wheels clear without having to do more cutting. Fun, fun!

I can't wait see what other partsyour going have ! I just ordered power wagon sliders, and shock towers!! I prob ended up getting another set wagon sliders soon for a build have !! Great products from Rock Pirates 🤘🏻👍

Nice rig! I'll be copying a lot of your upgrades with my ecto after I finish my Kraken Pro. Would have been nice to see the stance off the stand though. Good job!

Think ur tires are on backwards.. never mind.. thanks for the video

Really like your video. I just placed an order for everything for the SCX10 except the servo tray it seems to be out of stock.

2 questions on the shock towers: 1) Is there a benefit to putting on a cross brace between the shock towers like there is on the stock towers? 2) Do the new towers weight less than stock? I wish the towers were a little longer to put the shocks at a little more of an angle for more travel. Thanks.

It's cool ~~^^

Will you help me build my Enduro like yours? I really like your build

Ciao bellissimo video dove posso acquistare questi kit.. sono i italia GRAZIEE

I deleted the rear swaybar and the articulation is waaay better. Also have a internal shock reservoirs all around to help

@johnarcher9480

The articulation is better, but the side hill ability goes way down.

I been running my lipo up front using cable ties since i got this got my ladder chassis crawler, no battery box, it makes a lot of difference on running the battery in the rear which i did not like from the get go on this crawler. I wish i could afford to splash out on one of these bad boys but even if i had the money it would be hard to justify buying another rig when i have several that have many, many hours of bashing and crawling on them and a couple of crawlers that are more than good enough for me. 8

Will likely be building an Ecto next, so interested in your series of mods. All cool. However, as a child of the 70's I have to ask, where did the mini posters of Farrah and Daisy, of the garage walls come from??? And yes, I actually DID have that Farrah poster on my bedroom wall back in the day!

Been back and forth between these two videos and can’t find where you say what Vanquish servo horn you ended up running. We’ve got a Gatekeeper currently running a Creep body with all these upgrades minus the battery tray. Horn the car came with is stripped so curious what you used.

When it comes to flex and performance, do you think trailing arms are just as good as the conventional style of the shock being mounted at the axle?

It’s hard to say. I think for crawling links are a little better but the trailing arm set up in the ecto honestly works really well👍🏼

it really depends. sometimes if you have enough overdrive, the trailing arm will be better for sliding over rocks, but that only happens sometimes

I see it as the protect the driveshaft. If there was more clearance, the driveshaft would drag more. They allow good articulation, with great side hill ability
