- Do not underestimate the new Element RC Enduro 12 platform. This narrow, short wheelbase platform is ripe for scale builds and has the flexibility to be a quality first vehicle for new comers of all ages.
I know I started with a 380 powered Tamiya grasshopper and look at me now! Lol.
In this video I example the power of kit bashing to get to an end result I desired personally. Using the Axial Adventure UTB18 spare part for a steering servo mount and easy work around on the Enduro 12 platform got me a full size servo where I wanted it.

i was thinking about getting one of these, you just made my mind up for me especially as spare time hobbies is working on a new servo mount. awesome thank you very much.
Servo mount is available now. Check my latest video

I am sketching up an adapter for a standard servo. I can follow up with an STL link when it is finished. I will make it simple and flat so the z-axis layers won’t be an issue. I know printed stuff is shit compared to molded stuff but it is nice to download something, push print and be up and running in a few hours.
Reefs Rc did an STL for purchase for a full sized servo as well. All good options! I also hear that STH is doing a bugger chassis for this platform as well soon.
@@ateaserc good to know! It is a very simple part so when my kids give me a second I will sketch it up. I don’t mind posting stuff like this for free. I’m guessing the one from reefs will be more refined so maybe still worth the $$.
It would be kinda cool to print a servo arm that snaps before servo gears. That way you can have a completely rigid link that will also protect your servo gears. It would cost a few cents in plastic but would require replacing the arm every time. It could also be difficult to guarantee everyone’s print snaps the same way… probably better just to buy a servo saver lol.
@@ateaserc turns out - this isn’t easy to do without restricting suspension travel. I got a working draft but the servo hits the frame. Gonna have to put more effort into this I’m afraid. At least now I know why they went with a non-standard servo
1/12 is perfect size. 1/10 feels so bulky with 3 others for my boys. I got the old Thunder Tiger Toyota version for $85 on clearance. Steering geometry is the worst, and the center gearbox skid hangs on everything.
I can say this platform is well done in comparison
I was thinking a Tamiya Blackfoot would be swanky on it
This has a longer wheelbase than the Blackfoot. I have both.
Clodbuster body 👍
Awesome!
Thanks!
Spare Time Hobbies is working on a new servo mount. Hopefully out soon.
Fantastic!!
Does the Sendero come with those rock sliders? The Ecto has nothing but has mounts for them
Yes, they are included
Innovative and fun to watch right on!
What hexes did you use?
