Element really needed to get a 1.9 RTR (with a body) back on the market. 1.5s are NOT where it's at right now.

It's a pretty minor update, but thankfully they discarded the original Sendero bumpers. Man those were bad!

Me likey. Kind of reverse engineered this with my TW haha. But that bed looks tits.

[soze]

They finally released it! I've been waiting to see if they were going to change the garage too, and now I have my answer. Picking another one up I guess!

There’s a lot of marketing talk about the HD body, but unlike other manufacturers, there’s no talk about how thick the polycarbonate actually is.

[Phildirt]

I would assume .60 since that seems to be the consensus for a 'thick body'.

I like the paint job. Honestly I'm trying to find something I don't like about it lol.

Agreed. The update is smart on their part. It helps reinvigorate the attention, now they need to punch us with that IFS-IRS AMC Pacer

I put the utility bed on my Sendero when it first came out and never went back to the full sized bed. Mainly because I didn't care much for the original 2 piece body, but I also thought the looks were a lot better with the utility bed.

Agree that offering an RTR with 1.9s is smart, and that body....love it!

The plastics are harder than the original black, but not as hard as the original grey.

Hoping they offer the prepainted cab as a replacement part. I like the sendero body plenty, and the red color is nice. Would be a nice replacement for my original sendero.

The SC480X isn't a bad speed controller either - 7.4V BEC, and an available programming card. I have it in my trailrunner fire and I'm in no rush to replace it like the original sendero's ESC.

I'm guessing that it's just a picture of the older variant that shipped with 400.
The specs do list the 480X, and Schultz showed it with the 480X on the SBG livestream last night.

I like it! Great job Element!

This new version was the direction I originally had planned on going when I got my Enduro Sendero when they first came out in 2019. I've had the Utility Bed in my cart for sometime now but have yet to pull the trigger!

Looks like now I can fulfill my original plan and pick one of these up!

I hope so. I watched the livestream but it wasn't clear to me which esc it was. I'll go back and rewatch that section.
