What I'm doing to my ENDURO! I don't have my kit yet but I already have plans for a few up grades. This thread is to share what we are all doing to make our trucks a little better!!!"thumbsup" Ernie |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! I'm looking at my Power Wagon body hoping that the Enduro makes a fine home for it since the Venture SBK didn't work out. |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Waiting for the kit then making a UMG10 body fit whether it wants to or not. "thumbsup" |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Thanks Codyboy! I hoping to pick my Enduro up today from my LHS.;-) I look forward to adding things here to share with other Element owners and the rest of RCC. At some point I will be starting a build thread in the near future. :) |
What I'm doing to my ENDURO! My kit is............coming someday , soon I hope. My build is for my better half's first crawler / trailer. I was excited when the RTR was shown. My opinion has only gotton stronger as my first truck was Associated, and it didn't fail Then the kit was spoken about, and the upgrades, made it a no brainer as I had wheels and tires mounted with foams, a spare 4 ch Rx/Tx and a bunch of 2s I dont use. Ordered up a HW 1080 and wanted to try the Radon 16t vs my Holmes crawlmaster. I ordered the ProLine Comanche body and paint. Metal balls and some spare hard parts will be here tomorrow. Yeah its for the wife"thumbsup":flipoff: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5052657e22.jpg |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! I do have a 46 Power Wagon body to go on mine. I also ordered a few of the "hard" parts for mine to help it slide over the rocks a little better. "thumbsup" Ernie |

My plan eventually will be to swap the axles and trans over to my VP Chassis Kit. I will probably use the shocks and links as well to start out. |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Ernie! can you believe we already have a section?!?! that was FAST! glad to see you already have a build thread here for your kit! i'm picking up my RTR tomorrow! its like getting ascender 2.0 from somebody else?!!?! really excited to see where this truck takes us... |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Got mine, RTR version already run it. Very impressed for almost bone stock. Have changed the servo as it did have a little play in the output shaft. It works, and will be a spare for a 12hr charity event and this will be my main truck. (have backups in case of breakage) Swapped it to the 12% OD and weighted the wheels a bit, chopped the rear body as I inverted the bumper chassis brace which lifts the old anchor well out of the way. Front end I have a better bumper coming from Scalerfab. Not over fussed on the body as its pretty thin, so an Axial 67 Chevy is making its way on there... |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Quote:
My servo also has/had a ton of play in it. I replaced it with an Amazon 25kg that still has a little play but nothing like the stock one. |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! I do not have my RTR yet. Thinking first upgrade is the plastic gears that come with the RTR over the builders kit. Then maybe tires and wheels after that. |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! 1 Attachment(s) Now that all the RTRs pop up, I am almost regretting that I changed my order to the kit... on the other hand, I got all the needed parts to finish that kit to my liking sitting right here in front of me ;-) HW1080 and the Radon motor are a butter smooth combo. I think I paint the outside flat black with either some partial clear coat design or maybe some retro red stripes? Attachment 382028 |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Ok guys if I put the time into designing a offset front axle for our new trucks, would there be any interest??? I ordered some parts to build one for my builders kit when it gets here. 8)8)"thumbsup" Ernie |

If it includes adding in the usual extra bit of weight yes I'd be interested in one "thumbsup" |

Hey Rob, it has been a while! I will know more by the end of next week, but I should be able to built width to order. I should be able to get XR steering capabilities, but not sure about keeping behind the axle steering. IMO BAS isn't that much of an advantage if the steering in the front is done right!

Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! 3 Attachment(s) Body reinforcement! Added Gorilla tape and rounded the slots where the sliders run through the sides of the body. Put tape under each body mount hole to tighten it up when the clips are attached. Also added bolts to secure bed to cab. Doing this stiffened the body up and does not rattle like it did. It’s solid now! Attachment 382106 Attachment 382107 Attachment 382108 |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! I'm stockpiling parts for the kit and waiting patiently https://i.imgur.com/ux9HNubl.jpg Quote:

Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! The more I learn, the more weight I run the more problems it creates. So what Im thinking on this one is just the opposite of my other two crawlers. Both tip between 7 and 9 lbs, perform quite well, So my challenge on this rig is lightweight performance, BUT it has to work . But as I’ve now got steel balls, I’m ready! Hang up and Drive |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! My barrage does incredibly well and its SUPER light just need soft foams and tires with bite! |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Thank you Mod! "thumbsup" Ernie |

Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Very nice!!! I was thinking last night rear axle bearing caps in brass would be nice too. |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Quote:
I may take a look at that"thumbsup" Ok guys I just wanted to throw this out to you!! I started a challenge in the CHIT CHAT section. We have a RCC friend who could use a little help. Check out the challenge here. (the challenge is post #77) http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/chit-...to-stroke.html And thanks to you guys who have already answered the challenge!! "thumbsup" Ernie |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Donated. Thanks for posting it here too, I never venture into the chit chat section. |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! I just checked the status of my builders kit at RPP, and it says shipped!!! Hope to have it this week! Ernie |

Well not in the mail today, maybe your right Casey I haven't received a shipping notice yet!!! I guess it was just wishful thinking! I'll try to get ahold of RPP and find out a little more info. Ernie PS: Ok, just talked to RPP and they are expecting the kits tomorrow, and if so they will start shipping them according to list order. Good news is I'm NUMBER 1 on there list. YAY, Maybe I will start on a weighted offset axle today for it!!!! Ernie |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Heres the story, Associated wants all kits to pop on the 16th, so all shippers will work that as the delivery day. In my email they indicated shipment will arrive the same dates even with expedited shipping...... Im hoping the 16th I have 2 big boxes at the door. Hang up and Drive |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Quote:
OH Mike, I hope my info is right and your is maybe not so right.:lmao::lmao: Ernie |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! I hope Im dead wrong and get my shipper, and you show us yours, as RPP is almost your neighbor...... Until then we are both still waiting! Hang up and Drive |
Re: What I'm doing to my ENDURO! Well I got my shipper thru UPS, and the invoice #matches, mine will arrive Monday. SCORE!!!!!!! Hang up and Drive |
