| Are You Serious Enough for the Zuul?
Apparently this impressive rig is designed for the guy who takes his crawling seriously .... Are you that guy? ...cause all i see is more of the same... https://www.associatedelectrics.com/...ruck_Zuul_Tan/ They should have put the IF2 on this one. While i am not sure it would have made things any more serious, it definitely would have caught my attention. The Utron needs help Why still no lexan interior panel?

I saw this on the Gram and while it looks great and gives more body options it does seem to be the same chassis and components as the Ecto but with the new body and tires. Agreed with you smog on seeing more of the same, I think they have enough choices for the newcomers and users who are looking for RTR's and that is the goal nowadays. while it looks nice I will not be in the market for one, too many rigs and I like to keep them in different set ups ... Most of my line up have different suspension style, wheelbase differences, straigh/portal, performance and scale. My last addition was the Utron which I used as the base for my 4runner project and I gotta say that the element has a nice platform that is very light and capable compared to the other available players.

This seems like a weird release to me… they took their most capable vehicle and made it less so. The side profile is less than flattering. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The front half of the body looks great, but it looks really odd from the side imo. Nothing else interesting about it, but its not a power wagon so there's that. Lol

Front half of the body looks really great, the back end phoned-in. Would have been nice to see a cab-only with a flat bed of some sort instead. I still enjoy my builders kit based truck, but their catalog is getting really tired. There's no reason for me to run out and get anything new from them. |

This has 4.19’s. And it seems like you’d have trouble fitting anything much bigger without having clearance issues with the front fenders. I will say, I always appreciate a new vehicle release, and i like element for many reasons. This particular vehicle isn’t my cup of tea, but that’s cool. As mentioned before, a cab only or two piece body choice may have changed my mind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

This body is perfect those who can't decide if they want a vintage Willys or Toyota. Here you get both! Last edited by smog; 09-13-2023 at 09:05 AM. | |

I’d like to see a larger and stout 2.2 rig come out.

I'm certainly not serious enough for this new truck. But I might try to make that lightbar fit on my silly Bronco.

Body isn't too bad. Toyota version of the Ecto, cool. Even though it's diverse with the rear half of the body being different, it's not enough for me to bite. I know Element likes doing Toyota looking stuff, and hoping to see more diverse molded bodies like any gen Tundra (Tamiya hard body is a bit smallish).

12.8" wheel base like the Gatekeeper. I like the cab and wish it were cab only also.
