Hi, new to the site. It's a great forum of valuable info for the RC crawler world. I have been in the full scale world for a long time and used Pirate 4x4 for build info. Since I have had back surgery, the beating of a full size rig doesn't help my back out.:cry:

I have a full size machine/welding shop but will now have learn to make small things.:lmao:Between the shop and my 3D printer I will try to up my designs and builds to the high standards you guys have set on the site."thumbsup"
I have been in the RC world for a few years, but both my trucks are RTR (I have done some hopups and designed and 3D printed a few things). After reading through build threads and having built my full size '90 YJ rock crawler, I'm going to give the scale world a go.;-)


Now that the intro is complete; I have an Element builders kit coming next Wednesday, along with a 46 PW body. Electrics and tires to come later.
I will have to get a star and start a build page after it arrives.


More to come and thanks for all inspiration.
Kevin

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS...

The Element is a great kit, most of it is a straight-forward build. Build the transmission is a little tricky if you are wanting OD on the front axle, but after a beer or two it all makes sense.

Having a 3D printer is a big plus, my CR10 has cranked out a number of parts for my Element that would have been impossible for me to build otherwise. Of course, being able to weld and braze will allow you to make some cool bumpers and such.
