Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

I thought SORCA rules required a frame-mounted servo.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

I think the on-axle servo mount was released purely to provide an option for custom builds using the Element axles...

Not an uninteresting idea given the "hard" versions of the housings being so cheap...

If anyone's been waiting on the brass or aluminum wheel hex's AE has them in stock finally

Any chance you could throw some links up for us to click and drool?

And thanks for the update on the wheel hex adapters! Been debating on those or SSD drum brakes.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Hex adapters are now available, can anyone confirm what size machined hardware is required, or are they included?

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Ahh, its factory, might I suggest stock fasteners.


Hang up and Drive

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Not much info on them, I'm guessing no fasteners are included from the one picture they have and that they'll use machine screws either M2.5 or M3 as the stock fasteners are a course thread screw made for plastic.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

FB answer was M3 included

Nice new product...
This thing just keeps getting better and better. "thumbsup"

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Just a free tip. If you are going to upgrade to one of the optional hard plastic parts, as I did. Make sure you first thread a screw thread through the holes before you start mounting .... saves you a lot of stripped screws .... The hard plastic is really hard!

It works great, frame is a lot stiffer.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Not sure if it has mentioned here, but my rear axle bearings were sliding out past the screws that hold the bearings in. I put washers on each screw to help hold in the bearing. This may be due to the fact that I replaced the stock screw with SS and the SS may have a smaller diameter head. Just a heads up to watch out for your rear bearings.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Did you use one of the SS kits that are available?

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

I did not use a premade SS kit for the Enduro, but I did use Team KNK stainless steel screws. I buy their Monster Bag which has an assortment of different sizes of screws.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

I used their Enduro kit, so maybe I should watch out for that. In fact, I already had that screw break out of it's hole. I wonder if that happened after a bearing came loose. Had my whole axle come out on me 30 seconds into my maiden. Didn't get off to a good start.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

It sounds like that might be what happened. Once you add the 3mm washers the bearings will stay seated in the axles and not come out.

I did not compare the SS screws with the stock black screws, so I'm not sure if it is a screw issue or the screw hole placement issue. Either way the washers will keep that from happening again.

I will say, I use Team KNK screws on all of my rigs and I have had zero problems with any of their hardware or products.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

How will this look with my inner fenders and Scalerfab rear bumper? Hate to get rid of them but this looks real good.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Won’t be able to use your inner fenders, it has its own

High Clearance SCX10 Rear Crossmember by Harley Designs

I can confirm that this fits and makes the chassis a lot stiffer at the rear. Recon G6 Belgium tested. Take advantage of this for those with a 3D printer.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Done, thanks for the tip, I feel better about maiden #2 now.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

I came across these decals the other day. Pretty good quality too..

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Are those Amazon decals pre-cut?

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Yes they are.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Your welcome. Maiden voyage V2.0 should be better!"thumbsup"

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Haha! Those Amazon decals are so trashy yet I like them somehow.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

If I had the Sendero body I would definitely rock the American flag decals.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

i still think FreakEskinz is missing out on a golden opportunity here...

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

I agree! I wonder how long it will be before we see some from them???

That means my fuel cell receiver box I made will fit. That makes me happy [emoji6] [emoji106]

I asked them of they will as the Enduro. He wants to but is short in time. He is missing out on several 2018 and 2019 releases. Shame, his quality is good.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

if they are half as good as the weathered proline Toyota skin... wooooWEE!

meanwhile... where are the weighted knuckles and such? i want to keep mine with BTA so it still looks like an enduro, but with some heft down low. and somebody needs to do something about (enduro specific) interior...

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

I think SSD said they're coming out with weighted knuckles. I'm waiting for at least 2 sets. One for the RTR and one for the kit.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Scx10.2 chubs do fit by the way not sure if this has been mentioned.

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

These hubs were loose on ar44 axles. So I pinched them a smidge in the vice and tightened them up. They do not wobble on my axles. After I run it I suppose I’ll double check to see if they have moved or loosened up.

Hi Cody
How do you clearance the uni's please

Thanks [emoji3]

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Good find!

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

I use a Dremel with a small grinding wheel and remove material where the uni is binding, or get a pair of SSD universals that already have the clearance. "thumbsup"

Thank you young man! "thumbsup"

Re: New Associated Enduro Crawler - Free-Mods & Upgrades
 

Thankyou for your reply. I shall have a go at the grinding and if it goes belly up I'll go for another excellent SSD product [emoji106]
