Perfect for my dad, he loves Toyota, never has had any other car brand other than sprinter. I have one crawler, trx4, and the ford raptor fox. He has a rustler and nothing else. Gonna get him this. He’s had 3 Tacomas in 15 years.
beautiful body, those tires look phenomenal, cannot wait to see more of it in action, I'm a sucker for Toyota pickups, and this is no exception. Thank you for the unboxing.
Right on. We'll do a trail crawling and rock crawling tests to explore the limits and possibilities of this platform. Do a full mods video as well since this platform is a rich base for many body upgrades.
That’s a nice spyderco😉. Love my para 3, and use it daily for sure. Also, hope they sell this body separate so we can put it on other things. Love the Tacoma!!! Great looking rig. ✌️
Really gotta sell that body separately. Based on past experience, this body will probably be available separately in a month, around $120 painted and $70 clear. snp.link/65f18310
Dang, just when I thought I was done buying rc’s for a minute after the scx6 and trx6 lol. Can’t believe I just saw this but wow, one of the best looking bodies I’ve seen in a while! Yea order in :)
Finaly you got one , looking forward to see your future running video ! Sweet truck, look realy good the best looking element so far . By the way the general grabber at/x run them on my 1/1 overland truck for 2 years , very good tire 👍 . Thanks for the video !
Yeah Jimmy! We'll do a big trail craw and rock crawl test to see the running limits of this platform. And we'll put some different tires and sizes to see what the opportunities are. Then we'll do an ultimate body and 3d print upgrades video.
can you please do a video on how to dual motor swap a red cat Everest gen 7 sports it's the car I have and I just put some 2.2 super swampers on it and it just does not have the torque it needs to get over opticals
Hello sir, how about the electronic parts.. is the brushed motor waterproof?.. I read the manual, only the esc is water resistant.. which not waterproof.. Just got mine 3 day ago, my 1st scale rigs.. Like all ur review on all Rc crawler.. Help me alot in the world of rc 4x4 trail n crawl... Hello from Malaysia..🤘🤘🇲🇾🇲🇾
Nice initial review, thanks. If they were going to do a faux Taco DC, they should have figured out leaf sprigs for the rear. Since they kept the 4 link rear they should have just done up a solid axle swapped Taco with all the overlanding bits. Separate question, why is chassis stiffness such a big deal on something that’s supposed to flex? I understand stiffness for an off-road buggy or road racing car but crawlers and scale trucks aren’t inherently better when they are super rigid.
Can you please do a comparison between the knightrunner and the trailrunner ? I'm not sure what differences there are and the knightrunner is a couple hundred more ..... is it worth it besides the beautiful body ?
@@RCReviewChannel is that mainly it though ? I've enjoyed the trailrunner but I'm not sure I can justify the almost 300 bucks more for the same rig but longer.. thanks so much for the response I was hoping you would tell me there were a bunch of upgrades so I could justify a purchase lol 😉
Manual for an experienced RC'er is a sign of bad design. It's best a reference source. For someone who's never used an RC car before, it is a good thing.
That's the beauty of the hobby. Folks can choose to go scale, performance, speed, style or personal. Not everyone or every car has to do the same thing. Personally, I'll put this body on my modded Defender chassis and do well on the glamour shots and 'follow me' adventures.
I've noticed an awful lot of hype for this rig when really the chassis is nothing new, and it's pretty useless in the Forrest on roots because the wheels are too small and the IFS gets in the way. As for the body, yes it looks ok but it's hardly revolutionary, no interior and body posts, but it's American so they'll sell thousands of them because its the bestest evarr😂
Your observations are valid! Until the 'American' part that is... It's an interesting release for sure and the execution of the Tacoma body is something that many, many folks have been waiting for.
Best of the Element RC lot in our opinion. Definitely getting that body. Magnet mounted, The 3d printer is already on overdrive!!!! It's not for everyone but good to see it available.

Lets see some upgrades and some crawling videos again! 👍🏼
On it!

Want to see more on this rig!
Looks fantastic, but needs some magnetic posts though hey? 👍🏼👍🏼

Ok now i need the body for my TRX4 ha ha,nice review greate Scalecrawler.
Nice unboxing 👌. We've been looking into this particular RC from Element and you answered our curiosity 😉.
Thank you. Just a simple receive/poke/run video. We'll do more later since we'll have two in the RC Review crew.
They are starting to step up there game a little bit.👍
Yes, this is good to see. The bodies and components are getting good. Just have to improve that flexy chassis
@@RCReviewChannel yeah chassis flex, bump steer and torque twist
Hello fellow modelers have a nice day. And nice video ofc
Right on buddy. It's a good day when the UPS man delivers.
So Beautiful RC My Favourite ❤
Very nice package 📦 👌 😍 👏
Just when I thought I was done buying RC's! Damn damn damn!
Im waiting on mine. I own a 2019 tacoma pro & had to add this collection
1:1 waiting for the 1:10. Tacom 4 lifer!
Well that’s just great! I’m going to have to order one to match my 2020 1:1! ONLY if they sell it in white or offer a clear body though!
I know, right? It's a different story when one already has the 1:1.
@@RCReviewChannel 😉😊
Just got mine 3hrs ago love it. Sucks i can use dual servo mount for the winch unless i install sfa axle kit included
Cool spyderco!
Maaaaan, I should sell those. Maybe I'll post a link. I don't know knives but I'm really liking this one every time I use it.
Check out the honey badger, I love that blade and it’s a bit more economical.
Mountain biking, and this 😮

Paint the wheels bronze! 😁
Way to pretty to actually have fun with!

Always!
this truck its for people love scale trucks its not a best rock crawler obiusly but i love it good review :D
Gusto ko neto!
Really interested in this knightrunner and the element ecto. I want to convert the ecto into a LCG belly dragger when I get one.
That will be an interesting project.
where can you find the part to buy the extra 3d parts from jason?
thats a scale of a short bed (5ft bed)
can you please do a video on how to dual motor swap a red cat Everest gen 7 sports it's the car I have and I just put some 2.2 super swampers on it and it just does not have the torque it needs to get over opticals
Ayy i saw that spyderco
Looks amazingly like a tacoma. But i don’t think it’s officially licensed??
Getting back into RC, what size battery are you using in this vehicle? Any recommendations for a charger and battery?
Nice review and new subscriber! What kind of table stand is that? I’m looking for a stand for my Traxxas XMax that I just picked up.
I want one!
Hello sir, how about the electronic parts.. is the brushed motor waterproof?.. I read the manual, only the esc is water resistant.. which not waterproof..

Like all ur review on all Rc crawler..
Help me alot in the world of rc 4x4 trail n crawl...
Hello from Malaysia..🤘🤘🇲🇾🇲🇾
General Tire is owned by Continental Tire company. Very good tires in 1:1
Similar to BFG All Terrains
Makes sense then. Quality seems good. Could have thought of a better brand though. :)
Nice initial review, thanks.

looks nice. I don't own any crawlers but it looks nice, how it performs?
.
A couple more videos coming to explore its limits
Will that body fit a Traxxas Slash chassis?
What is that lazy Susan stand that you use? I need one of those. BTW I love your videos. I like the unbiased opinions.
It's an rc car stand by Ecopower. Indexed or free rotating snp.link/7b0b3634
Can you please do a comparison between the knightrunner and the trailrunner ? I'm not sure what differences there are and the knightrunner is a couple hundred more ..... is it worth it besides the beautiful body ?
The bid difference is this has a 13 inch wheelbase instead of 12.3. This one performs a lot better.
Also the tires and bumpers on this perform better.
@@RCReviewChannel is that mainly it though ? I've enjoyed the trailrunner but I'm not sure I can justify the almost 300 bucks more for the same rig but longer.. thanks so much for the response I was hoping you would tell me there were a bunch of upgrades so I could justify a purchase lol 😉
So if i want to order one. Who is the suplier?
Where did you buy it
What battery can u put in it ?
Can I buy that body separate already painted an make it fit my trx4
I just purchased mines. Doesn’t work. I plugged it in and the lights turn on nothing else’s works.
what’s the top speed?
So it has metal bumpers?
No, this has plastic bumpers.
Was talking about 1:1 having metal low profile bumpers. Sorry my description was confusing.
Correction sir, that is definitely NOT a Toyota Tacoma. For legal purposes
Rrrrrrrright? Disclaimer. As folks start printing out the proper badging. :)
i need army green
The title made me think it was a 1/3 scale. Now I'm disappointed and cant like it. but great video.
1
That's not a 1/3 scale...
Lol dont read the manual til your in trouble. How do you know me and at least 90 percent of your other followers lol
Manual for an experienced RC'er is a sign of bad design. It's best a reference source. For someone who's never used an RC car before, it is a good thing.
I'm so sick of all this talk about scale who cares does it out perform a trx4 , NOPE
That's the beauty of the hobby. Folks can choose to go scale, performance, speed, style or personal. Not everyone or every car has to do the same thing.
Personally, I'll put this body on my modded Defender chassis and do well on the glamour shots and 'follow me' adventures.
