    What a showdown. When I first started following you I saw no point in crawlers… now I can’t wait to build my first one!

      @@ExocagedRC oh trust I definitely see that. I just didn’t know really that folks took them so serious and that’s another reason why I never got into them. I am learning I missed out of some good trucks over the past 3 decades saying no to them

    Yet another great video. Was much closer than I tought. If it where me: DSM that Ecto at the center of both axles to keep the CoG down on the steep inclined (You can really see the rear trailing arms unload on the descents). On the SV2, maybe some high clearance links - seems like the problem you had on The Hopper? Keep'em cummin!

    I just bought an ECTO. Very able truck right out of the box! I did a couple free upgrades such a a shock positioning & trimming weight while adding weight in a few spots…. New Protek 370 BTL Steering servo, set of Brass steering Knuckles & a set of Beef Patties….. WOW

      I feel about 5lbs is best for everything in the crawler world lighter can in many cases be better but my limit, depending on the vehicles purpose, is about 5lbs now.

    Dang. As much as I love sv2 I almost have to give the win to ecto. Predator compound krawlers, dig, and the same weight bias the ecto will do more obstacles easier

    Well, SV2 is a parts bin special expert build and ECTO a run of the mill rig with the must do mods.
    SV2 is almost at peak performance, ECTO has some room for improvement. At this point is pretty neck a neck, although SV2 clearly has an advantage with DIG. Don't think the tires are to blame. Cliffhanger body might come in to play as it lowers the CG on SV2, but it might be a marginal difference.
    We could clearly see that ECTO has way more torque and that helped even up the head to head.
    Both are incredibly balanced and
    both are spectacular builds!
    Question is how far can you go on with improving ECTO...because,for me, and "knowing" your work, skills and tenacity...you are just scratching the surface!
    Bring it on man!
    Thank you for another great video.
    Cheers

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  3 года назад +2

      I feel the same way. The Ecto has a larger motor in it too. The Ecto has way more potential than what I’ve got mine to. I really like it. I like the transmission but I’m considering the same trans and dig as I have in SV2 for it.

  • @aymanmohamdy9625

LOL......no but really, Im buying the ecto rtr before i buy 2021 bronco orgen 8 axe or 10.3 because of your ecto videos.....Im building some g speed's at the moment so my rtr budget isnt existent.......By the way found a great video and found out how to work those beadlocks,they have four pieces! Now I just got to learn to vent the tire the rims dont let air out? How would you vent a set of canyon trails?
    I subscribed to dixie land rc also and am learning a bit from him as well, i got him off of one of your videos.....hes got a good channel.....I cant wait to start my own channel! THANKS!!!

    I honestly don't see why enduro (AE) doesn't make/include a dig in any of their rigs. Ive had a few AE crawlers, & liked them. (Aside from adding weight here & there). Personally, id give an additional $50 for a dig.
