The body and paint came out great. I also took my kit out for its first shakedown today, its a pretty good rig as it comes. Though I noticed a fair bit of torque twist with the soft (white) springs I was using, swapping in the gray springs in the rear helped. One thing I've only noticed just now is all of the slop in the driveshaft CV's, are yours sloppy too? Theres play in and out and side to side unlike any CV joint I've ever seen. It almost feels like its not assembled correct but I'm fairly certain I did it right (I've build many-a driveshaft). So I think after weighted knuckles driveshafts are next on the list for me. |

I’ve been talking to Treal, they are working on some brass options for the Enduro, I might even end up with some pre production units to test. I guess we’ll see. | |

That's different type of lube.  I went straight to the source and bought a jar awhile back. Our Noleen Greases Products - Noleen J6 Technologies Judy Butter, takin us back a few years in RockShox. Last edited by Natedog; 11-22-2019 at 11:45 AM. |

 Wine corks to the rescue!  Now, I'm a retrogrouch that only rides a fully rigid cro-mo frame and fork.  No wonder I feel so old and creaky these days!  (but I digress...) | |

I hadn’t heard of any of this stuff until I went looking for a Green Slime alternative. I was hoping to find the SF2 from Noleen that Nate mentioned, but my local bike shop had the Honey Butter, so that’s what I’ll be using for the foreseeable future due to the amount I purchased. Works fantastic, by shock are as slick as snot!👍🏼 |

Dez, any chance that you may be able to fix your pictures? They're not showing up, and I'm dying to see your truck. I just bought the Sendero kit because like you, I'm a huge RC10 fan (and therefore an Associated fan). Reading about your RC10-inspired truck makes me want to see it!

That paint scheme looks fantastic. It makes me want to get a pickup body and do an RC10T box-art style scheme!

Did a little spot smashing this afternoon. Took the Enduro RC10 out to Uralic part with a couple of the locals to kill a few hours in the beautiful weather. Had a good time. but I need to lower the CG on this rig. Just a bit to tippy as it sits.     Last edited by dezfan; 06-25-2020 at 12:12 AM. |

I was debating between buying a trx4 and a element. I went with the trx4 but your build just pushed me to pick up the element and build an ultralight crawler. Nice looking truck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
