A week or so after I ordered Builder's Kit.

So what’s the difference

Was just hinted today, so no official news yet.

My best guess.... IFS with trailing arms raw kit. I don't see them putting out anything newer than what they already have unless it's a new feature of a new RTR.

That seems reasonable. The builders kit 1 is not discontinued as of right now. Before we got the Sendero HD, the original was discontinued a bit before.
If the BK2 follows the scenario you spell out, then I’m fine with having just bought the BK1, as all I wanted was a solid axle truck anyway.

Maybe some high pinion axles.

If that is the case, I'll be pissed.

why? you like low pinion with the torque twist and loss of clearance?

Same here… well maybe a week and a half. Interested to see what is new with this kit.

Hopefully it incorporates the gatekeeper panhard mount if it’s solid front axle. and I’m sure it will have the updated black plastics.

An ifs builders kit would be pretty cool

Pissed because I already bought kit 1 so recently. And here is kit 2

If you want better axles just get some AR44s.

At this point Element has a few suspension configurations they could put into a second Enduro kit. I suppose they could even release a kit that allows you options. Nice to see more builder kits, they are the best!

A 4 wheel independent suspension set up?

I’d have definitely preferred have waited to buy this kit 2 over the first version, but I’m not totally put out for having just got the first version just a little while ago. I ordered the high clearance links with my kit already. Will likely get the GKS panhard and shock towers also.

That seems to confirm a solid axle kit, and without trailing arms. Stoked to see the panhard mount included.

I wonder if the new kit will still have aluminum shock caps and spring perch. Honestly, I felt that was one of the best parts of the first builder's kit. The shocks feel world's different in smoothness with the aluminum shock caps vs the plastic ones IMO.

I was disappointed when I bought a set of Factory Team shocks, only to find out that the caps were still the plastic ones and the only difference was the shock body from the RTRs.
