Looks like a nice addition to the crawler/scaler market.

I'm pretty happy with it so far. It's a good platform.

I bought one. I like it a lot.

Great Crawler out of the gate.
 

Great rtr Crawler all around, however having built an ran both the rtr and kit, the kit is the better of the two IMO
Great job Associated!

Built the kit about a month ago, great truck, the overdrive is awesome! I was going to make it a small tire build but couldn't lower it as much as I wanted, and the shocks are so nice I didn't want to go leaf spring on it. Here's a pic at the local spot, a Hobbytown USA 5 minutes from the house.

Nice looking rig, I have the exact same rims on my TRX4.

Looking at picking one of these up. Kit version, IFS conversion, probably a small tire build. Nothing crazy.

I've read some issues with plastics being weak, seen complaints about plastic hexes and suspension balls .. for a kit that costs as much, do any of you think it should come with those things? It isn't like they are expensive to add...

It's been a while since I've built a scaler. Last build was a TF2 LWB when it was released.

The panhard is pretty flexible taking a little precision out of the steering but very capable. Plastic hexes haven't been an issue. Suspension balls are plastic but don't wear out very fast at all. I have to say... out of the box this thing performed much better than my other brands. I had to throw $100 worth of brass and stainless on my brand X to get it to do what this thing does out of the box. Stupid plastic beadlocks and all. I have a first batch truck and the servo is still going strong by the way.

Good to hear. I'm excited for it since it isn't a kit from the usual suspects. Had 3 "brand A" kits, hated the plastic suspension balls and super flexible parts. I have one left, my wife uses it when we go on hikes. She wants me to participate in the trailing. The RC4WD D90 is pretty terrible if I'm honest... Plus changing a battery in it takes a committee. Lol

Plastic wheels don't bother me so much.

I will say hands down this is my most capable rig. Yes there is some flex in some places in stock form, but it doesn't prevent it from being very capable at all.

Myself and another guy are running pretty much stock brackets, etc. on the chassis side, and the only real things we added were weight to the front axle and Pro-Line BFG Krawler tires with dual stage foam. With just weight added to the front axle and updated tires/foams, we've been doing some really difficult lines for scalers.

Knockoffracer I see you're on instagram. If you check out myself (revolutionx_rc) and user got__rocks you'll see what the Element is capable of. My videos are mostly on YouTube, but got__rocks has the documentation of his lines on his instagram.

You actually found my IG account?? Lol!

Will definitely check those two accounts out. I'm seriously interested in this thing since I've been out of scale for a while.

Just found both IG accounts. Great content. Probat won't be doing anything that extreme to start, but who knows. Buddy of mine buys new scale trucks just because.. he's looking forward to driving the Endure once I get it. He is THE Axial fanboi. Lol

Is the Enduro Senduro RTR kit the same crawler as the Enduro Trailwalker RTR kit (just different body and tire/wheels)?
