I’m running the same rig pretty much and really like how well it crawls. It trails nice and does work on the rocks. I have TONS of rigs but have been running the crap out of the element!
Looks like grizzly adams showed up for a crawl run today lol. Glad your doin vids of this rig john. Santa brought one of our boys one for christmas. Slowly gettin upgrades for him.
My Sendero Hd is one of my favorite trucks. I’ve only done free mods to it and it’s been a blast to crawl and trail. Can’t wait to see what you end up doing with this rig as I build my builders kit V2
Being high on the rock is a good way to become mayor of DC!!! 🤣 You definitely have some leaf blowing to do. lol I can't wait to see Travis and Tarrel again, I miss them. I've been watching a lot of Rick and Morty lately, there is no real life. There are infinite universes and nothing matters. 😂
What kind of bird was that it’s whistle was super clear. Yes there are still good RTR’s out there the Sendero HD & the Ecto are 2 of them. Imagine that truck with a strong servo & nice brushless combo! Yikes😮
I have a completely stock sendero that I’ve changed some free stuff on and it’s been a blast to drive. I have a builders kit v2 that I’ll be building for comps and I’ll be curious to see how the two compare
Got the standard v3 revolver today an tried it out an WOW!!! The V3 stubnose can definitely hang with it's big brother if they want big boy power in a little package than the stubnose v3 is golden. Both are absolutely amazing motors. Waiting on the MMX V2 to show up to pair with the standard v3. I luv the copperhead10 but it's kinda Big for what I'm doing now lol.
I was thinking that esc gets hot because the servo is so weak yet it’s taxing the BEC? I ran mine last weekend with a 14t pinion and the motor heat was very acceptable, yet the esc was just as hot when I went back to the 18t. I’m curious to see a direct power servo in this truck.
One week short of having a crawlmaster 13t 550 in my scx10.3 on hobbywing 1080wp with a 3s for a year straight. Our typical crawling time is about 4 to 5 hours at a time. Motor will not quit and it’s been under water… muddy water… long under water crosses… just keeps on pushin.
Just ordered my first crawler, an SCX24 gladiator, I noticed the motor is fair low turn, watching your videos I learned higher turns better crawler. Do you recommend a motor that is a fit for the SCX24 Gladiator? Thank you 😊
Right on. I ordered your standard 540 V3 this morning I'm curious on how the stubnose V3 revolver is in comparison, I'm already impressed with the stubnose.
I bought a gatekeeper and the first trip out with it the esc got so hot it started to smoke, the truck ran away uncontrollably, and the battery wire pulled out of the solder when I tried the disconnect the battery.
This is probably preaching to the choir, but those tires actually work pretty well if you trim the stock foams down to 95mm OD...and even better if you trim off alternating lugs on the inner & outer rows of tread blocks.
@@sjoerddejonge4080, a procedure similar to this but done on the stock foams to make the OD 95mm. It gives the effect of "airing down" the tire to help it conform to obstacles better. th-cam.com/video/brYkJx9icZg/w-d-xo.html
I'm running a Crawlmaster pro 13T on my Vanquish Phoenix and it tends to get hot before I run through a single 3s 2200mah battery. Even more so when trail driving than rock crawling. Is this normal?
Push ratio? Never heard that term before regarding crawling, always overdrive. If anything, with crawling you'd have the front turning slightly faster so technically it'd be a pull ratio?
pull or dig ratio. only MOA competition rigs use push. Imagine you want your rear to walk sideways faster than the front. Give some push ratio and the turning radius will be around the front end instead of the back like normal dig.
@@HolmesHobbies ahh I see, new terminology for me. Dig would be the same as push? Referring to a rear o/d and pull is self explanatory? Do I have that right?
In today's episode of Breaking Bad RC, John Holmes takes a break from his new job with the Hell's Angels to do some RC'ing in the back yard while quietly contemplating a gentler, simpler time before organized crime.
Looks like a fun and good scale crawler. A bit jumpy, but maybe you was jerking the throttle sometimes. I love the cracking sounds the body gives, sound like a big car cracking sound. I only got a superclass 1/8 crawler so I wait some time/years befor looking for a scale crawler. Love the big wheels on my crawler so it can be used for some of my mountain hikes. What battery and running time you get with this setup?
I believe in a long prolonged derangement of the senses to obtain the unknown although we live in the subconscious our pale reason hides the infant from us...
What is the saying... gear down, volt up? It is a few times also a good tool to have in the bag of tricks to be able to "jump" the car with some throttle jerking.
Heck yeah who doesn’t want run Holmes hobbies products!! Your the man!!

Nice vid Mr Holmes had me rollin at can't see but it's fun 🤣
Sweet, I just got mine for Father's Day

15:58 :). O yeah! Nice driving!! Looking forward too much more.
Im rocking the ISDT 70 esc with your 5- slot 13t Holmes CrawlMaster spot 550 Smooth
Did you end up keeping those tires? I think the foam may be a bit stiff, don’t see the tires squeezing down enough on the edges to get more of a bite.

Nice - let's see what it'll do with the Holmes touch now (an upgraded radio then the rightfully spoiled choice of HH motor, ESC, and servo).

Looks like a very capable crawler...how is this truck doing after a year?
The Enduro is one of my favorites!
What length servo horn you like to run with the shv500LP on the Elements?
Just built the Gatekeeper, want to get it running hotter. It’s narrow and slow now.
I bought a gatekeeper and the first trip out with it the esc got so hot it started to smoke, the truck ran away uncontrollably, and the battery wire pulled out of the solder when I tried the disconnect the battery.
I think the sendero will be my first 1/10th scale…

I just ordered the trailwalker version
nice!
Hard to put the smoke back in the motor once you let it out
Every RTR should be upgraded to a Holmes hobby motor. I specifically bought the trx4 sport kit, so I could start with the trailmaster motor.
Took me till now to recognize what that truck actually looks like. A Dodge Dakota! 💁♂️

Sendero or Echo?
Is this real life ? … very good question I’ve been thinking of that myself …once when I was a lil boy I..long story short I’m lit af
Why no ecto?!?!?
I think it’s basically the same, aside from the body and rear suspension.
@@mgscheue yeah very similar. He just has a few of these trucks but no ecto
Dig
Who can tell me what is stronger a 540 12T motor or a 550 20T
550
@@HolmesHobbies great i got the 550 when will the crawlmaster mini be in stock again? Realy would like to own one.😁

Nah, that's just the stock system.
Why wouldn't you want to know if its hot or not?

Stupid line though haha looks like a good rig for stock
Watch the Element Trailrunner with IFS front suspension on harder lines then these th-cam.com/video/sFAwBCL-LU4/w-d-xo.html
BWAHAHA
3s seem soo overkill for crawling
What is the saying... gear down, volt up? It is a few times also a good tool to have in the bag of tricks to be able to "jump" the car with some throttle jerking.
Everyone runs 3s
4s is even better
..eeehm..4s is the cats meow 😉
@@notion7908 soo? If everyone had jet packs but used them to do garden work wouldn’t you say that’s a tad overkill?
