I toggle between wheelin my 1:1 built lifted jeep and my 1:10 crawlers. I get miles of walking/running over hilly terrain just chasing my 1:10 crawlers and it's been the best form of exercise I actually look forward to. Great video and filming. It was fun to watch while enjoying my morning coffee.
Thank you so much for the comment; it helps a lot! Yes, I certainly enjoy a simple hike, but I really like bringing my crawlers. It adds to the exercise and sparks a lot of great conversations along the way!! :) I hope to get a 1:1 off-roader some day!
Cool vid man! Keep em coming!
More to come! I'm working on the CRAWL version of this hike. :) :) :) Stay tuned!
Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome views! Sedona is beautiful. Not surprised that the loose rock/dirt along the trail made for tough navigation. Do you remember what the total assent was from base to the summit you ended up at?
Thanks, 'Slaw! :) Sedona is around 4350ft. Bear Mountain summit is a little over 6400ft. and around 5 miles round trip. I believe I went 1.25 to maybe 1.5 miles, so based on some other sites I've researched, I may have ascended around 900-1000ft. I packed TOO MUCH stuff! My pack was around 20-25 pounds with both crawlers (I never even got out the 1/18th scale jobber) and all of the other necessities. You honestly don't need much, except for sunscreen, a good amount of water (the trail authorities recommend 1 gallon per person), and a couple of snacks. I WILL GO BACK ONE DAY!!! :)
Are those shrink RC body mounts for the body??
YES! :) ...and they're great!! I actually talk about them with more detail in my Part 1 video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nG2Dl7ijnaiplNI.html No joke, probably a day or two before I posted the first video, Jesse had actually modified the mounts to be a little shorter so that you don't have to cut the Mojave back panel. LOL It was really no biggie, but he's definitely great to work with. :) Thanks for the post!!
Wow man that thing sure can climb
Thanks for the comment @bobbyyoung770!! :) :) :) Yes, I was REALLY surprised at how well this performed right out of the box. It's quite a little truck!
Only thing I seen that's a weakness on that truck obviously the factory servos which were really fast for being Factory but burnt up within no time and then it has torque twist apparently now they're selling an axle for the rear end before you can flip it and hook it to the other output shaft on the rear of the transmission and be able to get rid of that torque twist but I think they only sell the booger in aluminum why would you have a rear aluminum axle in a plastic up front
Yeah, I try to remain a little ginger on the steering to keep the stock servo as long as I can, but I already have that high on the list for future upgrades. :) Given the exceptionally low weight of this tiny rig, it seems torque twist is pretty common. I agree, doesn't make sense to just do the rear; but at the same time, it doesn't make sense to turn a $165 truck into a $300+ truck plus another $100+ in other upgrades (unless you're intentionally doing something with it, like comps). I'm not knocking other guys that want to do that (go for it!), but I don't have an endless income, ad money, or sponsors, so I can put up with the torque twist and focus on the more affordable upgrades like brass hubs, wheels, etc. Otherwise, I'll put it toward my 1/10 rigs. I appreciate the comments!! Keep crawlin' !! :) :) :)
It is so choice! A stellar performer!
HAHA! :) Indeed. Thanks for the comment!!
Amazing work!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow, what a BLESSING!! Amen!! Your friendship is a testament for sure. 🙏🙏
His faith in Jesus was a stronger testament!! He's been through a lot, so I've been grateful to express my friendship in this way. :) It was truly a blessing in my life.
FUN!! Looks like it was a blast!! 😎😎😎
It was!! Thanks for the comments!! :) :) :)
Cool little truck. 😎 Keep up the great work! God bless!
Ha! :) Thank you for the post!!
Cool spot
:) :) :)
I find myself curious about this rig. Subscribed so I can keep an eye on it. 👍✌️
Thanks for the sub!!! Yes, I have more videos a comin'!! Just got a couple of upgrade parts and I have new wheels on order. New content on the way!! :) :) :)
I have the furitek katana, same thing just brushless. Switch tires, add some weight up front, and your golden. It's a beast, you'll love it
Very cool. Yeah, I see and hear a lot of good things about the #Furitek products on these little 18 rigs. It's a bit out of my budget at the moment; I'm going to change wheels to metal, add brass rings, brass hubs, stiffen up the steering linkage, and then likely a new 7KG servo. Thanks for the post!! More content on the way!!
Thank you for introducing me to a great car! It's a great video.~~~^_^😅😅😅
Awesome! Glad you liked the video; THANKS for the post!! :) Yes, this is actually my friend's truck; I gave it to him in another video and I remixed some of the driving footage, so this is just that driving footage. Unfortunately, the battery was failing, even though it had a full charge, so we weren't able to run it as long as we had wanted. It's such a great value, though. You get SOOOOOO much right out of the box. If you end up getting one, the first things to upgrade are the links, but there are some cheap overseas links you can find on eBay for around $20 that would probably do the trick.
Subscribed 👍
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :)
Great explained video 👍 we have a few Fusion SE in our rigs now and the performance is night and day. Its one of the first mods we make even before tyres (used to be our first change) as then we can run the trucks on a very stable platform and make tweaks to see what and where to make changes next. Thank you for sharing ❤
Yes, it's one of the best all-around upgrades you can make to an RTR and also a custom truck without breaking the bank. It gets me more curious about the AXE series FOC motors and ESC's, at least for the sake of engaging content. I suppose those are more application specific for the more serious hobbyists. :)
@@crawlingonallfoursRC well for the sake of engaging content sounds like best excuse in the world to try one or two of those out then 😁
Sounds like a dare. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. ...but bear with me, I just need to save a few more pennies!! :)
Se comes in 1200kv and 1800kv. My best results are the 1200 for straight axil and 18 for portal axil…enjoy
Yeah, mine is the 1800. Interesting comparison! I was curious about the 1200. Would you say that the 1800 is better for portals, because of the additional gears and directional load?
Looking good 😊 im loving my new Ecto
Awesome!! Yeah, the Ecto seems to have some good staying power. One of my newer rigs (Rock Pirates) started its life as an Ecto prior to me buying it and changing it up. It all boils back down to the chassis, as many of their models share the same underpinnings and details. Thanks for the post!!
@@crawlingonallfoursRC oh ya I want a Senduro too
I love the original chassis, which is still used on the Sendero HD and Knight-series trucks. This new SE chassis is great, too. The value is ridiculous, and they've dropped the price to $275!! It comes with inner fender liners, servo on axle, [slightly] slimmer axles, and an updated Stealth XF transmission for forward-mounted motors. It's a no-brainer in the crawler hobby. I hope you're able to get one! :)
A glass coke bottle and a heat gun will help you flare the fenders out enough to clear the wheels. Awesome build your doing.
YES!! :) I've heard of that method. I'm super curious to try it. Although, I'm not sure how it would turn out after it has already been painted. I DO have another Mojave II body that I might put it to good use. Thanks for the reminder and thanks for the post!!
So cool. Really liked the detailing work on the custom rig. Nice work!
Thank you!! The OG Sendero really put Element RC on the map for sure. Granted, Team Associated is already an 800lb gorilla in the RC hobby, but they've proven their business model with a great lineup of trucks. The SE is a great nod to the OG Sendero with some smart improvements of its own, including the forward motor position. That gives you more room for a custom interior. For less than $300, it's a steal!!
Can't go wrong with element 👍👍😁😁
No, you can't. I believe they offer the highest value in scale RC trailing/crawling, except for maybe the Utron. I can't stand the looks of that truck. LOL :) Thanks for the comment!!
That's a great build my friend an nice the way you have it weathered an scale thank you for the great videos
Glad you like it! Thank you so much for the post!! :) :) :)
Nice job on that rig. Sweet footage. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it, and THANK YOU for the comment!! :)
The lights are awesome
Thanks so much!! They pack a punch for sure! Stay tuned for a few subtle changes to this truck.
Fusion motors are a fantastic upgrade! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for the comment, SBG!! I love watching your videos, many of which inspired me to be creative with this particular Mojave II build. :) I'm looking forward to the next one for sure!! Cheers!
Awesome video! Thank you so much for coming out and riding with us! We're glad you guys had a great time, see you next time!
The rides were AWESOME!! Thanks so much for posting the comment!!
Cant wait to get mine for the TRX4 :)
DO IT!! You won't be disappointed. :) :) :)
You have convinced me to get a fusion se! Great video cheers, from Derbyshire UK 🇬🇧
Greetings from across the Pond!! :) Go for it! This motor is one of the best upgrades for the money IMO. It's not their top-tier product, but it takes A LOT of the benefits of their high-end features and packs it into an affordable package.
Thanks for the comment, btw!!
Any time buddy, keep them videos coming 👍
Nice 👍🏾💯
Thanks!! :) 💯
The math doesn't work i don't think for this unit to do 2,000,000 km in 12 years Let's just say we do a best case scenario with a top speed of 50 kmh A 10 hour day and working 7 days a week It would take 10.96 years to achieve 2 million km if i am not mistaken its far more likely to have a average speed of 30 kmh given the road or lack of Thats just is bit over 18 years
Hmmm... I'm not quite sure I understand your post. (?)
@@crawlingonallfoursRC I don't blame you I wrote this comment on a different video It seems to have posted itself in the next video (your video) in my watch later list Rather than the one I intended 😂 my apologies
OK!! I was wondering if that was meant for another video. LOL :) :) :) But hey, every comment helps the algorithm!! Thanks for clarifying!
Which version of the body mount are you using? Looking to do the same thing!🤘
ShrinkRC! :) I'm using the Mojave II mounts made for the Rock Pirates Interceptor chassis: shrinkrc.com/products/shrinkrc-body-mounts-for-rc4wd-mojave-ii-two-door?variant=42762836672700
Nice 👍🏾
Thank you! Cheers!
Ferris you’re my hero! Great “change of pace” video love how you mix it up with content, music, approach, and your overlays were crisp. RC2 on COA4.
LOL!! YES!! Let myyyy Cameronnnnn goooooo.
Trail fun run, love it!
HAHA!! YES!! :) :) :)
man that was smoooooth and nearly AMSR for RCs!!!
LOL :) Thanks, HFS!! I'm glad you liked the smooooth grooves on COAF Radio!!
Sweet ride
'PRECIATE IT!!! Be sure to check out my other videos. :) :) :)
Very cool!
THANK YOU!!
Perfect vid to play in the background while while making sweet love to my woman.. 😃
You did an awesome job! I’m currently building the same body, mind if I ask where you found the window armour?
Sweet! I really like the PL 4Runner body; I have another clear body for a future project. :) The window armor is actually custom. I made them from some spare PVC plastic I got from some Rally Armor mud flaps for my car. I measured the windows, traced it onto the plastic, and went to town!! It's thin, lightweight, yet sturdy and looks super cool!!
that is such a pretty truck
Thanks for the comment!! Another video of this truck will be posted this week, so SUB and STAY TUNED!! :) :) :)
Do you do custom builds for $$$
Interesting question! I haven't thought about it; although, I'm not sure I would have the time at the moment. Are you asking for yourself, for a friend, or just curious?
Does Hobbywing offer a brushless esc & brushless motors for 1/24 & 1/18 scale rc crawlers, just like Furitek offers?
That's a great question. I don't have a small-scale crawler yet, so I haven't researched this. I know I've seen 380 and 280 brushless motors before. I don't believe they have ESC's contained within the same can, though.
@@crawlingonallfoursRC ok, thanks for the info & the excellent video
Scale crawlers are such a cool part of the hobby. Saw one with electric windows lol, huh!? This is really well done, looks great!
Power windows??? Hilarious!! LOLOLOL :) Thank you very much for the compliment and thank you for the post!! Cheers!!
I bought the Element Enduro Sendero before when it was newly released, however I kept it indoors and decided to sell it because I saw Axial Bomber 2.0 and wanted it. I regretted having the Axial Bomber and regret selling the Element enduro. I sold the Bomber as well and got Redcat Gen 8 Axe and I'm quite happy with it to go along with my TRX-4 Defender.
Thanks for commenting on this video!! The OG Enduro was and is still the BEST Element truck they've ever made IMHO. :) Right out of the box, it was the entire RC package: good looks, solid chassis platform, metal components, quiet drivetrain, one of the best gearboxes in the hobby, and decent electronics to get you on the trails and over the rocks. It was very affordable and it delivered tremendous value. I imagine it was a loss-leader for them since the brand was just coming onto the market, so they couldn't keep it at that price when they came out with the HD model. I'm disappointed that they didn't keep the 2-piece body. All 3 of my 1/10 crawlers are Enduro platforms.
Not sue I have ever had a brushed setup stall in my life ? Good esc will do the job. Using 45turn with 3 cell lipo has been a perfect so far. Have used brushless rigs before never really felt a huge gap in performance honestly. 3 cell gives you all the wheel speed. The 45t motor will get that torque where its needed : ) That being said fusion setup is on sale for less than 100cdn right now. Hard to pass up !!
Interesting. The motor I originally used was 21-turn on 3S and I was still experiencing the "stall". Granted, the performance was more "scale", so I still give it points for realism. I know all motors aren't created equal; I would actually like to get a brushed system from Holmes Hobbies in the future. My Enduro Sendero truck has the stock Reedy 5-pole motor (it's quiet!) and I had replaced the Reedy ESC (from the video) with a Hobbywing 1080 which is a great combination. It performs wonderfully with 3S. The movement is very smooth. Thanks for the great comment!! :)
@@crawlingonallfoursRC Oh the 5 pole sounds like fun. I have always found 35-55turn the optimum for hard rock crawling with 4.5+ pound rigs... paired with 3 cell of course. THis video really helped my finally try out brushless, waiting on my 1800 fusion now for the capra : D
That's awesome!! Glad to hear this video inspired some action. :) I know you'll enjoy the brushless system! Thanks for the brushed motor turn tip.
Total package video, audio, and content. Well done sir!
Much appreciated!! I tried to pack in as much information as I could; it seemed to have worked. :) I have a trail run video coming soon that isn't narrated, so I would say it's a "filler" of sorts until the next content-filled video. Thanks so much for the view and the great comments!!
