Woohoo! Looking forward to seeing the build. I’m currently trying to earn the funds to buy one of these. Anybody want to buy a canoe? LoL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Trying on a set of 17 inch wheels and added the aftermarket bumper. 😎  Tires rub at full lock, but I don’t think it’ll be too bad. |

Found a set of decals to get me heading in the right direction with the theme.  |

Very nice! I want to pick up one of these, but I think I'm going to have to hold off since I've already got the IFS on my Trailwalker.. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

I preordered the hour they were made public. Mine still shows as processing. I’m not a happy camper.

I like the TR body, I like smaller tires, the IFS gives it a complete new twist, and I’m an AE....I mean Element RC Whore! 🤣 Switched out the hubs from the TR and the Marlin. The Marlin hubs are a little thicker than the TR hubs. I’m trying to narrow up the width a bit to get the Marlin Crawler tires to tuck like the stock 1.55 tires. May have to find a narrower hex? 🤔 Just a mm or two. 🤔 | |||

I think the 1.55 General Grabbers on the 1.55 Trailrunner wheels looks sick on the Marlin!😮  The 80’s Yota with 15 inch wheels is spot on! 👍🏼 |

First outing with the Trailrunner. Took it out to The Little Elden Boulder Field and let er eat! This little rig is awesome! It put a huge grin on my face!  Crawls like a goat, great steering, suspension seems to be pretty well set up out of the box, and it’s whisper quiet. I’m running the RC4WD 1.7 TSL’s (4.19) with minimal rubbing at full lock. At least not enough For me to worry about. Just a heads up, if you decide to use the included off road Style bumper, trim it back just past the last hole or it will interfere with the steering bell crank and completely lock up the steering. Ask me how I know. Maybe it’s mentioned in the instructions, but that seems like an oversight by Element? Also, I wound add a tiny drop of superglue to the molded detail retaining g rings or your molded body details will disappear. I lost a door handle, a mirror, and the molded detail at the bottom rear of the truck. Luckily I was able to find them. Overall Im very pleased with the rig other than the few details I mentioned. Looking forward to adding some more details. (Nail is do slow with this Covid stupidity). I also ordered a set of Pro Line BFG KM3 tires in Predator to try. Hope to take my Marlin out as well next outing and compare the two. Few pics from today.        Last edited by dezfan; 06-20-2020 at 06:41 PM. |

Nice shots! I have used MCI before, they are GTG, but currently fairly slow to ship. This might be a crazy question, but does that stinger bumper on the TF2 fit the TRunner?? Last edited by Hodgy88; 06-20-2020 at 08:12 PM. |

Very nice, I've got my eye out for the body when it gets released. Mine looks decent with the PL 4-runner, but this one looks much better to my eye. Agreed on how quiet it is, mine is basically silent when I run it. |

Agree! The Enduro lineup are great rigs for the price and has become one of favorites to wheel! Great outdoor pics dez!  I’m on the fence if I should get this rig or just pick up the clear body. I haven’t even finished my Trailwalker yet! I really like the Trailrunner body and there are some very cool 3D printable parts for it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk | |
