I can agree with that my buddy got the fusion model and it is a awesome truck, the quality is amazing.... especially for Redcat....and it performs great, after he got that I looked at the stance and Vanquish should be ashamed of themselves....Very Cheap very low quality!!!!and still $100 more than the Redcat ascend fusion...
Also your videos kick ass. I was into rc but when I saw your channel it got me into racing rc so thank you sir and ever thing you do for the community.
Element has some great trucks. But the IFS/Gatekeeper rear looks pretty stiff. I picked up the Trail Walker. More of a standard 4 link type crawler. I found it to be extremely capable out of the box too.
I really have my doubts about the anti-rol-bar, no flex no droop. Also the front spring setup, it just looks really stiff but I think that's also because the springs are all spaced out.
If we are talking BEST then the Vanquish VRD Stance RTR is hands down the top performer!!! If we are talking BEST BANG FOR BUCK then the new Radcat Fusion RTR Takes that title!!
Some bashers can look quite scale. Losi does better scale bashing but you gotta keep it scale… they’re not designed to be launched Kevin Talbot style. UDR, lasernut, hammer Rey, those are more realistic bashers that can look scale if you do it right
@@V8chump You have to have everything , I guess. Not so pumped on the antics the bashers bring being it could never happen in the real world. Much like the rc helicopter bs. That said, it does bring skill to the operator. A much more realistic approach is the crawlers. If I had one choice, it would be the crawlers, with even competition. Best day ever. The bashers are pretty much short bus. Do like the engineering though.
Cool truck with a stupid name. Zuul? I do love it though but wish it was a 1963 Jeep Gladiator. Then all it would need is a chain dragging behind with some beer cans attached and a graboid wrapped around the rear axle.
I’ve subscribed for years now and I just check today and I was unsubscribed. So just to give you a heads up and this isn’t the first time. I Thought is was just me but now I know it’s not me.

Ecto, gatekeeper, and zuul. All ghostbusters references
when will they have stay puft marshmallow man?😂
@@ryanp8935 next one will probably be the keymaster or slimer🤣
The redcat ascent has my vote on best rtr at the moment
I'm still waiting for my redcat 18 to come in..backorder.
That new fusion has me saving.

I love it, but I think I like the RC fusion just a tad bit more! Awesome review and awesome truck! 👊🏼😎
Outrunner on the ascent and 4 link it. Mission complete.
I dig the stance and the body 👍
this is one cool truck, best working suspension i've ever driven😂😂
It’s a good day if mark post
I'm loving my Ecto 12 and I want this one too 😊
Some weight and tires and these things are beasts
More Crawlers/Trail truck reviews please!!!
I am getting away from dumping my money on bashers…
later Mark 💪®️
Element RC just came out with the new Enduro Ecto with portal axles & you can convert it to rear steer if you like!
It reminds me of my uncles willies, pick up jeeps. Love the scratch paint.🔥
Man I would love to see you do more crawler videos.
It would be cool to see your custom crawler build
Also your videos kick ass. I was into rc but when I saw your channel it got me into racing rc so thank you sir and ever thing you do for the community.
Nothing like coming home from long night at work eating breakfast watching some mark Santa Maria vlog 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I think that will make a really cool TRAIL truck!!!!
Element has some great trucks. But the IFS/Gatekeeper rear looks pretty stiff. I picked up the Trail Walker. More of a standard 4 link type crawler. I found it to be extremely capable out of the box too.
Yes the flavor of the week
Wheres this crawler place you went to in this video? We are regulars at indy so would definitely like to take my son and his rock crawler out there
Curious as well!
Look inside the boxes!! There's a secret to every element Rc!!
Your crawling place looks sweet
Never saw you review a BackBone, I think you would have loved it. Especially with the aluminum upgrades you could get for it
Never seen him do a review WITH a backbone. Guys word is bought and paid for
Awesome unboxing 👌
I really have my doubts about the anti-rol-bar, no flex no droop. Also the front spring setup, it just looks really stiff but I think that's also because the springs are all spaced out.
Mark have you ever tried the anti Foams for crawling yet? It would be cool if you did a video on them
I kinda like it. Depending on price, I'd do 1. 👍🏾
Awesome vid man I love that body keep up the great work man
Nice truck review
Great video
IFS & rear trailing arm suspension = more of a go fast trail truck than crawler JMO I’d set it up more as a Baja style trophy truck or KOH style rig
Good times!
I’d tell you what other brand you should try but you already know😂
If we are talking BEST then the Vanquish VRD Stance RTR is hands down the top performer!!! If we are talking BEST BANG FOR BUCK then the new Radcat Fusion RTR Takes that title!!
Mark!
That’s awesome 👏 Are you kabayan?
I got a traction hobby for my ifs rig. These always look so slender to me frome team associated / element
🔥🔥🔥
Redcat Ascent for me and then they dropped the Ascent Fusion those two are hard to beat overall
Put some 4.75 ProLine crawler tires on this rig. You’ll be more amazed.
Pretty Kool 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Crawlers are cool. I like bashers but they just aren't realistic.

@@N.I.L.84 yea I also really like how some guys can get the losi LMT to look. Big merica does some really scale bashing with it

I don't know , never had a crawler. If you send one i can let you know
That's not a rock crawler, that's a trail truck. The best rtr rock crawler is the Vanquish stance
It looks like it rock crawls pretty damn good to me.
Yeah not sure if the stance is the best rock crawler either, Vanquish actually built a really cheap crawler with the stance....very disappointing!!!
@@andyb9994 how is it "cheap"? In what why?
I don’t think the stance is either have to go with the axial Capra
@@OutlawFarmersRCSet it side by side with the Redcat Ascent, that's the truck that is $100 less than the stance....
It’s ok but looking at other recent releases no way is it the best RTR crawler. But I have have a few Elements & even stock their rigs are very good.
Ya sure , my vanquish vrd carbon with a furitek combo would smoke that thing
The real question is should I buy it…
It’s not a crawler the trail truck
I’ve subscribed for years now and I just check today and I was unsubscribed. So just to give you a heads up and this isn’t the first time. I Thought is was just me but now I know it’s not me.
No
No it’s not even close good lord man , I don’t think it’s even in the top 5 . Plus it’s a trail truck to begin with .
Boooo 2 in 1 esc receiver. I would never buy that shit.
Close to the best but NOT! It is a trail truck
No….it is not..
The best RTR Crawler currently is the Vanquish Stance RTR “ No Contest”
the stock tires will get better as they wear
Redcat ascent is better
Also your videos kick ass. I was into rc but when I saw your channel it got me into racing rc so thank you sir and ever thing you do for the community.
