New enduro coming?

[Topher Builds]

Wow so you can basically convert to a solid axle with what’s in the box. That’s a real nice touch. $389 isn’t a bad price either.

Love the decal sheet, going to need a couple of those.

Looks like I will be wrapping this in multicam black vinyl when I get mine.:mrgreen:

 

[Up'n'Over]

Pre-ordered mine today.

Odd that there is all of that other stuff on the body but no head/tail light buckets. I wonder if that’s going to be an add on when the eventual clear body comes out.

I can't wait for those Knight Customs parts to start trickling in!

 

[DukeMinnix]

Pre-ordered mine today.

PM me where cause I can’t find anywhere

Through my LHS. I told him to order me one as soon as he could.

I love how many running videos there are of this truck on YouTube already. Just search Element RC Trailrunner.

I might bore you all with my long form thoughts on this one later. There are some hits, and some misses here.

How long before we start seeing this livery pop up on them? With the white body shouldn’t be long before someone offers a wrap for it.

Trailrunner? I get it! It's a Toyota-ish Forerunner-ish body. I guess people are over complaining about unlicensed bodies and blacked out windows. Outside of appeasing the thirsty Toyota fans, I think the body is a big "meh". I love this truck in 1:1 form, but it looks off here. It might just be the color. I'm interested to see the body in something other than white.

Price is pretty good.

I love that they include an OEM style bumper. That's awesome and definitely my favorite feature of this release. We definitely need more OEM style bumpers for bodies. That would be great.

The windows bother me too, they’re not blacked out but a “frost” tint. I don’t like them, but I’d probably cut the glass part of the window decal out and keep the trim and hit the inside with tamiya smoke.

I think this body has potential, once someone comes out with proper 3D headlights, taillights, and a Toyota grill I think it would look pretty good. Maybe stretch those tires on some 1.7s like these

@carpetfuzz I wouldn’t be surprised if SOR has those available soon. Probably would sell pretty well!

 

[Raguvian]

I really like the body, to be honest. I would really consider one if they did the two for $599 deal (highly doubt they'd do the two for $499 deal).

This is great, but I’m a little frustrated with the value lol. This thing is an Enduro + IFS + hard parts + a bunch of cool accessories for $390 (even comes with parts to convert to a solid front axel!). It’s a bummer I paid $350 for my Sendero. The hard plastics and an IFS kit alone are almost $200 if purchased separately. You get that in this kit for a measly extra $40 lol! I think this will be great for the scale truck hobby, so on the hole it’s awesome, I just wish I’d have waited a few months and bought this instead of a Sendero.

 

[Joesstyreneshack]

Very nice looking rig for sure, I like that it’s a pit of the box ifs rig ready to go. I’ll prolly end up snagging one and of course doing some sort of plaid interior. It looks to be a well put together rig.

This seems to be a common trend in this hobby. As soon as you buy something, something potentially cooler is released shortly thereafter.

I hit RPP and pre ordered it. I’m normally Amain guy but they didn’t have it listed.

It’s not so much that’s it’s cooler, it’s more that it represents a huge value from the same company in a pretty short timeframe. I could see this argument though with something like the SCX10.3.

I don't know if IFS is a must have but would solid front axle crawls better?

Also Element Sendero body looks much nicer with nice colour. Trail runner body look a bit meh especially with white colour.

 

[B-MOW71]

I like it! Looks like a great deal for what all it comes with.

As with the other Element bodies, this Trailrunner body will look great when a little color is added to it.

Damn, now I'm going to have to get one of these too! And I still haven't finished my IFS Trailwalker!:roll:

A solid front axle will crawl better hands down. The only reason I went for IFS was for something different.
