It looks to be a interesting addition to the scale market. Element look to now be developing their own identity in the crawler market than being a another variation on the axial SCX 10. Like all things you need to start from a known base to make improvements and this is what I am seeing now.
I just mounted the IFS kit into my RGT 86100. Had to make a couple new screw holes in the frame rails, but otherwise it worked straight out the box. Increased my steering angle so much the tires were hiring the springs. Had to bring the epa down 50%, but it's a RUNNER now.
That excellent Element RC... another element to add to your Element which will bring another element of skill driving your Element customized builds...👍
Hey Matt... I'm the 700th Like. What did I WIN!!?? 😜
Enduro IFS Kit - SHOCKED!! I heard there was one in long time development for the SCX10 II... But this one just seemed to APPEAR! 😳
Looks well thought out and with little loss of performance, should be a great Scale option.

I have the IFS installed on my SCX10 II with a Jeep JL body. It looks sick!
Love watching your builds like this. It's the third one now I've followed along to and have made some of the same changes.
Element has stated that this kit will not only work with enduro but also scx10/10ii so this fantastic for the hobby.
Good show, thank you, I'll be back for the next Overhauling episode 👍
I would love a portal IFS kit for the trx4 and scx10 III
Wow, shades of Yeti! I still have boxes from earlier AE builds that also were awesome.I think the Element element is much needed for next step inovation in crawlers since the axial takeover.Great video i know i need one!
I think it’s great to have more scale options. Kudos to AE and Element.
Cool conversion
Or throw leaf springs on the back and you have most Chevy and GMC trucks built after 1990 covered as well. This kit and the one for the Axial have me really interested in building an IFS truck, like a scale version of the Ram Runner.
This will work on an SCX10II, with some additional parts.
Not sure if it was said, but convert the rear to leafs and get all super scale sir. With what I've seen you do, this could be the most scale, scale truck to ever have scaled the terrain of the great white North.
Gotta have it for the Walker Evans themed truck I’m building!
Element is not messing around. Love the i.f.s other companies should take note.
Great video man l seeing the Sandero on the bench getting some love happy bashing bud🤙😎🤪😜😝👊✌
Great work Matt. And thanks for the shout out 👊🏻
TACO BEL GRANDE
@@scalebuildersguildcheesy gordita crunch for days 👊🏻
Awesome kit! Would make a nice pre runner with the toyota body.
Definitely putting this on my list with a builder kit.
This is now worthy of Raptor body.
I was searching for the show Overhaulin' and this came up :)
The Enduro seems like a good truck
That’s pretty cool! Looking forward to a running video🤙
I wish Traxxas would do something like that..I built a TRX4 FJ Cruiser to match my full-size FJ but the solid front axle doesn’t look right. C’mon Traxxas, doooo it!
I can see that conversion being really handy for scale. Looking forward on hearing how how well it works on the trails and rocks. And yes, I know what you mean by the Enduro chassis sits way too high - I'm re-engineering my builders kit to sit lower and more scale like (sort of like what you did with the RC4WD C2X chassis, although I'm making some other changes while I'm at it).
Great series. Just subbed. Can’t wait to see more. This truck is my next purchase and build. 👍👍
If I ever want to make my Enduro less capable, I'll be sure to check this out.
I think you're missing the point. This might not appeal to you, but it does to the folks who want to more closely replicate most modern day trucks.
Sweet! Look forward to seeing your Tacoma on the rocks.
I watched this video in the woods with my vanquish chassis kit/ element rc trans converted scx10.2!
Just saying 😎
Now Im am getting tempted to get an element and add ifs and make a prerunner.
YESSIR!!!!!!
Wait but 2wd or 4? Because as sweet as a rip snorting 2wd prerunner would be... Losing that awesome front overdrive is bittersweet.
@@RandomStuffGarage619 4wd pre runner, which is hardly seen in 1:1.
@@powcar91 or you could install the highest overdrive in the stealthx trans, and flip that sucker 180 and overdrive the rear, remove the front driveshaft and that thing would boogie on 3S brushless!
@@RandomStuffGarage619 that would be fun especially with the frame it has
Cantilever, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Love this new kit. It's great for those who are going for scale correctness. -"Angry" Dave
BUILD ALL THE LADDER FRAME MUSCLE CARS!!!!!!!
This so so awesome! I hit the like button so hard I almost cracked my phone screen.
Way to go. Now you have less ground clearance and less articulation. What an upgrade!!! LOL
This is a conversion kit, designed to add some scale accuracy to most modern day trucks.
Would love to try that on the SCX 10ii
I dig it dude. Looks so clean
Awesome video my friend very cool 😎
Well the upside to being really slow building my Enduro builders kit is that now I don't have that much to take back apart to do this. I think I'll put an FJ 40 body on it and have a IFS FJ 40!
FJ40's were never IFS. Are you thinking perhaps of the FJ Cruiser?
@@scalebuildersguild No slap an FJ 40 on there and watch the purists heads explode. I restored and FJ 40 and FJ 60 and it's amazing how uptight the Land Cruiser crowd can get. They're almost as bad as the Mopar crowd at getting all twisted up if you change something.
Looks awesome!
Great video!
Love it, SBG street!
Looks like an old Total Chaos mid travel 4runner kit!!
Yay Timp RC
IFS?! FOR ENDURO?! *BRAIN EXPLODES*
seriously glad I didnt spend my xmas dough yet!!! Yay procrastination!!!
Might even giter dun in time for proline by the fire!
Do you have a part number on the box? I would like to pre order at my LHS. This kit will no doubt be extremely popular. Thanks for the awesome video!
40103 According to Element's Website.
The golden question! Just gonna copy/paste that. For later use...
Was watching a video on this when I got the notification, jumped straight to this video(:
Hi. I've seen that the shock towers have to be swapped round with this kit. Does that mean I wouldn't be able to use my Element inner fenders anymore ? Thanks 😊👍
Not sure. But, if you’re happy with this, do what I did and chop the panhard mount off.
I wonder how it performs with this new setup. Looks nice.
I'm as keen to find out as you!
Hi Matt, Would this IFS look good with the Killerbody LC70 body?
It will be great if Element had a IFS truck builders kit
Need to put a Colorado ZR2 body on it instead then it would be perfect! Will be an awesome overland truck.
If going for true scale IFS needs leafs in the rear to be true to almost all vehicles.
Just pickups, most SUVs since the early 90s are coil rear... and many of them (as well as trucks) are torsion bar IFS, so there goes that.
Looking forward to, you know it, NC❤ MOUNTAINS🏞 Backyard RC AND MORE.🖒
It Doesn’t Look Scale! It looks like an RC car... Good Job!
Definately worth some extra point's if you build a truck that should be ifs.
That’s a sick piece! Nice video!
What I do Not see anywhere in any video or thread is WHY move the shock mounts? And the original Trailwalker body does not line up? I'm new, but seems to be a lot of "here is my IFS installed" but little mention of the finer build points. Also the fact it comes with plastic ball ends and not metal. Very flimsy, had to buy the metal ones.
That looks good, my element h a s some new parts coming!
I’d like to see IFS for the TRX4 platform.
Reverse the overdrive, paint it black, put some bling wheels under it and go full hoonigan!
For the Tacoma color, gotta go with the classic Toyota single stage faded factory white 😂
Just found this video because i finished assembling and installing the IFS kit on an enduro kit i got in a trade. i was wondering if your front tires toed in under compression of the suspension? i followed the instruction to the T and under medium to full compression it toes in considerably. Granted i know this isn't going to be going full stroke on the shocks most of the time but it does bother me a little bit.
thanks !
Toe in is good for traction and steering!
@@scalebuildersguild right on thanks! I wasn't sure if it applied to scalers too haha.
I'm getting it
Just a few hours to fit on a Saturday afternoon, how long will it take on a Wednesday morning? 😉
This looks awesome👍
Probably longer, because breakfast.
Now we can do a Scale Baja 1000 with golfcarts.
Very cool and very interested. I'll keep looking for the printed IFS for my Tacoma-influenced Honcho SCX10 II.
Toyota Bell Grande... Does that mean the body will have some purple in it?
Heck yeah!
Oh f#!$. Here we go!
I know what I'm getting my fingers on next.
You are good and bad, get my drift.
Right on!
Tamiya CC-01 owners everywhere just shaking their heads lol.
would be if the CC-01 was a comparable scale, of if Tamiya has realised there was amarket and made the CC-02 IFS but a similar scale to Axial, Traxxas etc (8.6-9.0 scale)
Yeah was watching for it, but..... It's okay though, work with what we have.
Yeah ill keep my solid axles, this is gay looking lol
@@nealedmondson3191if it's scale like our 4bys in Australia the ifs is extremely scale
Now I have to build one to match my daily Taco....
I really want to make my Honcho into IFS ! It's just pricey for what else I want to do to it
Samesies.....
So... IFS front and leaf spring rear...?
Would be great beside a tamiya cc-01
Does the IFS make the truck better on the trail or is it more a bling mod? Thanks.
I wouldn't say it's either. It helps make a truck more accurate if you're doing a scale build.
@@scalebuildersguild I see, my Element kit has an issue whereby when the right front shock gets compressed it doesn't rebound, giving the truck a lopsided look on the trail until it hits another bump to straighten it out. I figured the IFS could fix this but the terrain I go hiking in with the truck is pretty rough so I don't want to comprise the performance I have. An Element engineer actually advised me to get a SOA (servo over axle) kit in order to do away with the panhard. I wondered if you have tried this in any of your trucks? Thanks.
Oops. I meant left front shock.
How does this affect ground clearness? It appears in video that the front differential and bracketry are closer to the ground now, and the lower A-arm is much closer than the axle tube was to the ground.
It does effect it, no other way around it to have IFS.
@@scalebuildersguild Good to know...but HOW MUCH is it affected? In other words, clearance before IFS vs after IFS?
Thats rad! I wonder if it can be adapted to the scx10ii? Since they are super similar
Edit. Ya said it right after i typed that. Lol
Yep, SSD Trail King as well.
Did they ever make the parts to fit the Scx10 chassis
You gone done independeded’it🥴 make a prerunnerish out of it🤔🧐🤷🏼♂️
Am i just slightly crosseyed or was the ackerman geometry alittle opposite🧐
It can be adjusted, not a big deal.
Ok👌🏼😌
Why is the center skid plate so narrow?😔
Funny, in the 1:1 world, everyone wants to convert their IFS to solid axle (aka: SAS). With that said, your IFS didn't appear to be flexed much at all; it looked to be all rear...
Oh that’s siiiick.
I’m having a hard time finding it on the ae website.
SO AM I! Webmaster is slow!
It's in the vehicles page.
I'm pretty sure this will sell out faster than tickets to San Diego comic con. F5 F5 F5 F5...
Do you know if the IFS will fit the Elelment trail truck kit?
This is built for the Element.
@2:13 a new bumper sticker saying......maybe
Is this kit worth having?
Yes. Depending of course on what you’re looking to achieve.
Scale Builder's Guild purely on rock crawling..
@@HL-OOI Stick with a solid axle then.
Scale Builder's Guild thx for the info..yes I have seen lots of comment about this in the Element RC group..😁
Is this lay out the same as the trailrunner
The Enduro is solid axle, trailrunner has IFS. Thanks for watching!
It makes me want one tou build a Tacoma or something along those lines
I would put this all on just so I could hack it back off, slap a straight axle under it and brag to everyone how I SAS'd my rig. :)
Who makes that body, where can I get it?
Proline Racing makes it! Save 10% with code: SBG10 at checkout at www.prolineracing.com

Are you and Joe from Answers With Joe related?
Nope!
Will fit SCX10 II and Trail King with 3 parts. Can be purchased through Shapeways or downloaded for free
Where are the files located
Will this work on an scx10 ii 🤔🤔
Watch the video, I mention it.
But will it work with portals? Lol. 👍🏽🐒🇺🇸
So you have upgraded to a CC01?
Yes they both have IFS, but a few things have changed in the last 30 years.
...maybe 😂
Do you know if is possible to unlock the diff?
Possibly? I don't think they make anything official though.
@@scalebuildersguild no worries, I want to build a Dakar style build and this would be perfect for that if the diff was unlocked, I don't know of any similar that would work really
Ashy would you want this??
New filter - hue or something seems... different?
I'm still experimenting with lighting. In fact, always will be. Ha!
@@scalebuildersguild Dude, glad I'm not crazy! Just my opinion, whatever you changed I'm not a fan of. Stands out too much.
@@PaulRawlins2 Yeah, it's a bit too much. Color temperature is difficult!
I'd rather see portal axles. The ground clearance looks pretty bad with that upgrade.
Non long arm ifs is a waste of time.
Long ifs > solid axle
Ifs < solid axle
Looks like they also forgot one of the main draws of ifs. Pumpkin clearance. Their kit is every bit as low as a solid pumpkin.
I don't really think that performance was the first goal. If it were, they'd stick with a solid axle.
Looks like the servo winch spot needs to be changed.
It gets mounted right on top of the main platform.
going to need to change to my internal vs the spool
Will it work on the Ripper;)
Probably not, as the Ripper has axle mounted servo. Not a lot of room under the hood.
You will go IFS, but say no to leafs? ;)
You must have me confused with someone else! I have a bunch of leaf sprung trucks!
@@scalebuildersguild was just yanking your chain... I know you have lots of leafs.. too much drink last night. haha. I love this "rebuild" btw.
@@scalebuildersguild and I reply from the wrong account. lol. I am a piece of work this morning. I need to start over. Great videos. keep them coming.
Does anyone have the GX470 body for a enduro trailrunner?
I've never seen that body!
