The element is a good truck. Good idea on going with the kit. I've got the Senduro HD and it's been good besides the fact of finding a lot of stripped screws in the transmission. Not sure how others experiences are, but I can't even put the other OD gear in because every screw is stripped

not sure if you make your purchases on line or if you have a hobby shop near you but if it is the latter i would take a look at what parts availability looks like there. always nice to be able to make a quick stop and pick up a part rather than having to wait for shipping.

Sorry for the late reply.

Yeah I get everything online, so parts are always a problem. Currently waiting for almost 2 months for a single transmission gear for the Redcat. So annoyed.

I did end up with Enduro, as parts would be an issue anyways... Still building it... slowly

Probably a parts stock issue as has been the case for so many things recently. Supply chains are in disarray right now.

Yeah, some prices rising as well. Can't be helped I guess.

Just grateful that I can afford multiple vehicles so my kid can play while we wait for parts.
