Both the Element Ecto and your set up is amazing, not to mention you backyard course! I am slowly getting out of the speed speed speed aspect of the RC hobby and getting more and more hooked on the crawling side of things. Your channel is telling me that i made the right choice. Love your content!
lol, I was just looking at these to replace a dying Sidewinder4. I ended up w Holmes Hobbies Mini v3 RTR so we'll see how it goes. Also, the birds squawking were hilarious, I kept pausing the video to see where the bird was in my yard :D
Awesome video man I've been thinking about getting an element I have a lot of videos to catch up on of yours I had some family stuff come up pretty much after Christmas and some things had to take a backseat but I'm about to come back in full swing I have been slugging away still doing some drift build doing a G Speed Build at the moment so there'll be some new content coming roadside RC rocks
Add white wire to unused channel (AUX Wire) set wire for crawler mode will allow you to go from regular breaks or trail mode toggle on and crawler breaks on...
I was thinking about that. It says the aux wire can be used to trigger many different settings actually. Not sure which one is really the most useful for me. Also - this will mostly be my son's crawler, and I don't want him to accidentally hit the aux switch and change something. We will see!
@@RoadsideRC Tork control for street an race use , drag break control and this is what i use the most on a regular basis ..during setups i use the blue tooth adaptor to make changes on the fly...
Cool stuff Troy. It seems that putting a tune on an RC car is starting to mimic putting a tune on a 1:1 car. Being an old geezer I'm not sure if that is exciting or scary. 😁🤣🙃😀
Definitely another awesome video man. Thanks for the info on this stuff. Where can I contact you and send u some pictures on how i usually tune my mamba x for crawling, with a lil better low speed control? to see if it makes a difference on your truck
When you talked about the best combo you like, the 1080 esc and Holmes 21 turn brushed motor, is that 540 can size or a 550? Thanks love it that you test for us. Awesome
Honestly the castle brushless are not that smooth on the 2850kv and higher. The lower kv are very smooth. Try a Holmes puller pro stubby and you’ll notice a immediate difference. I’m looking at running this esc on brushed just for the lower price point than the Holmes brxl or br mini
These escs look decent man is it right they are for 1/18 scale and 1/16 on road and other RC cars aswell mate wondering if would be good put in my sg with my hobbywing 3652 4000kv motor and keep on 2s on road and if would be good or if it just meant for 1/10 crawlers
@@RoadsideRC good to know bro I've just seen loads about 1/10 crawlers and then some about 1/18 racers etc so was just wondering if would be good for the 1/16 1/18 on road racers/speed so good to know thankyou

Great! Glad to help!
Let me know if you have any questions!
Gotta love the adjustability of this set up! It certainly improved this since you first got it. It’s so much smoother! !!💯💯💯👊🏼😊
Have a great day!🍻
Yes - more functionality than I know how to use.
@@RoadsideRC 😝😂I know, a lot of techno wizardry! 👍🏻
I love watching your videos, you hit that level of normal everyday RC uhh person. You need an intro though. That feels to be the thing that’s missing.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.
Awesome video that is one heck of a crawler track bro sweet!👊very powerful crawler
Thanks!
I keep working on the course!

Ha! I like that song, but I can see how it could cause confusion! :)
Great video 👍🏾
Thank you!
Good vid nice run
Thanks!

Glad to hear from you!
Hope your family stuff is turning out OK.
I'll be looking forward to what you are working on!
Holmes hobbies has a great video on programming a copperhead 10 for a crawler. Change your curves much more like John shows.
I will check that out!

Ha! I agree.
Sometimes, I just want to plug the battery in and go!
I think I want to build my first crawler
I do recommend it. Never thought I would like crawling, but really do enjoy it.

Should be good for your on-road vehicle also!
