Default smogs Elements

As we are entering build season for those up here in the cold, dark north I decided to pick up the recently released Element Gatekeeper kit. It should keep me entertained at the bench for the coming evenings. When it arrived the hobby shop I figured I would would take one home before it was no longer a local option. Going forward I am going to post various stuff related to the build in this thread. Beyond that I will likely document changes I make to it and various experiences I have with it.

So I started by building the cage. It's what I felt like doing.

This cage is beefy and solidly constructed. It's easy to imagine that it will adversely affect performance.

Meet the Rocky and Eugene driving team







This is what you see when you open the kit


Last winter I built the Element Enduro kit. It has been my go-to rig since spring. I am running it on the 12% over drive gear configuration. This rig has been thoroughly enjoyed. Brought me a lot of joy this past summer. Some key features include
1)HH Trailmaster Sport 21T
2)Hobbywing 1080 Brushed ESC
3) DS 3218 servo(cheap and significantly better than the average RTR servo)
4)SSD Brass Steering Knuckles(SSD FTW)










Here is some video out on the trail and up the rock. Its a bush trail I have developed over the past number of years out at the cabin. I spent more time up there this summer than I ever have in the past. The trail grew substantially this summer in the company of this Element JP-1 Enduro.




I also have the 1.55 RTR Trailwalker. It's my first 1.55 rig. I also picked it up very recently. The price on it has been so good I had to get one. I threw some SSD brass steering knuckles on it and upgraded the wheel hexes to aluminum for some quick performance enhancements. Lately I have been in the paint, so I went to town on the stock body

Besides, I had to get rid of this sticker shenanigans...


Currently it looks like this, however it is a work in progress. I like to paint the exterior of my bodies so that should I desire to alter the look at any time. I can...





I will be posting stuff related to all of my Element rigs here. Thanks for checking out the thread.
