- It's pretty much like the other videos, only I don't know what I'm going to wheel nor where, and that decision is left to... the WHEELS OF FATE!
The Wheels are wise.
The Wheels could not have picked a better subject for the conditions of the day, the course, and my brain. I have SO much to say about the SE, mostly good-- but there are some definite issues with it. And there are so many to even include in a double-length WW installment. Consider this "takeover" as Pt.1, with Pt.2 following immediately after.

Wonderfully watching me some wheelin Wednesday!
It's been fun watching the NON-STOP ENDURO SE CONTENT! Looking forward to the Stealth teardown and motor swap.
Just ordered one and ordered all of the things you recommended to fix thanks for the vid!
(10:58) ... Yes, "dead" ¢enter, sir !! 👌
... I love RC-er's who pay attention and care about these details !!! 😉
So we know that they would have had to get new molds for the plastic links, as I don't recall them occurring on any other Element offering. Why didn't they just make the rear links 12mm longer so the WB of the rig matched the WB of the body? The shock towers are already in the 12.8" WB holes. It's the top of the list of SE head-scratchers.
I live in the Ojai area & it looks a lot like those Mountain View’s. We just had snow on them & I’m sure there’s going to be more with the storms coming in. It’s kind of cool here because you can get a picture of snow covered mountains with a Palm tree in view. Same here. I’m definitely going to do some of those mods I have a lot of parts off of a Ecto that is a custom build Rock Pirates shock towers bed etc. So I have all 4 original shock towers. Also I plan on getting the Rock Pirates shock towers for the SE as well. And when you do that mod you have to remove that fuel cell or it hits. I’m waiting for a dry day to get mine back out. I’m just loving the SE coverage I’m like a moth to a light & watch from beginning to end no matter how long the video is. Thank you I know it’s not always fun or easy to get good footage.
Hmmm I grew up in Santa Paula…..my brother lives in Ojai. I’m in Idaho now.
"We can try Hustlers", "We can try more Holmes Hobbies". lol. DO IT. I'm looking forward to getting an SE.
Those Hustlers are still mounted up. For once, I'm thankful it's raining.
Here in SO UT we've got weird weather river that can't figure it's self screwin' with my scale obstacle build here....
Haven't gotten to touch a shovel in going on two weeks and it's killin' me. How to people survive ACTUAL winter?
@@CrawlerCanyon yeah my shovel has frost on it. what the hell is that
The trippy purple stuff was kinda pritty from here on this screan if i wer next to it id probably be creeped out too tho.great video
That new shock tower with the pan hard mount is intended to be swapped with the front left to allow for a CMS set up.
That's pretty solid. Not super solid, because the Ecto/Builder's Kit/Gatekeeper panhard mount is not a little better, but WAAAYYYY better.
Those are the original enduro sliders, I put them on my Sendero hd.
Great hustle mate, I’m tuning an enduro at the moment and it’s good seeing you get the most out of this bloke. Lesssgo Baseline!
I’ll be curious to see how the 1080 drag brake goes with the different motor too, mine has the same roll back using an RC4WD 35t Boost but no downhill roll, I dialled the throttle trim on the radio to stop it but I’m not sure that’s right.
You'll find out today.😀
Lol humidity is the worst. I was working in Louisiana near New Orleans in the summer a few years ago, and was sweating the moment I stepped out of the shower. Miserable! 😂
As someone fully conditioned by the desert, I don't know how people survive the south. Here, even 50% humidity feels like absolute murder. But I've done videos and built obstacles when it's ~105ºF. No problem.
...because we'll have like 7% humidity.
@Crawler Canyon It's usually 70% on a good day where I live lol. Louisiana to Florida along the coast is on a whole other level of hell though 😂 I love going to California, I go a lot as a trucker
- The stock tires should be called "Ribbed" !!! ... Why Pin Seekers, I just don't "see it" !!!? 😆
I will 100% agree that "Pinseeker" is not a tire name. IMO, that is a bowling ball name. I would actually be surprised if there's NOT a bowling ball named the Pinseeker.
Alright, I had to Google it. I'm a bowler and not a golfer, so golf didn't occur to me-- but a search for "pinseeker" is 99% golf. The tires come up WAAAAAAY down the search results.
Oh, and there is a pair of bowling shoes called Pinseekers. So that's close.
Would fix the gearing on the Reedy before the motor swap . . . .
As I would find out later, the size of the bearing seat in sealed can motors is such that you can't fit smaller than a 17T on the Reedy. Rebuildable endbell motors appear to have a smaller "nose" and can comfortably go down to 14T. Anything brushless (and therefore flat faced) can go to at least 12T. Limitation of the motor mount.
Hey just picked up a se and the rear wheel being off is driving me crazy what length links do i need to fix that ?
Element knows what they've done-- they sell a kit with the links and a longer center shaft. alnk.to/5ufpwgy IIRC, the rear links for 12.8 are 114mm lowers and 108mm uppers, using Element rod ends.
I just had another bad idea 💡 servo as motor?! Need to mod it to turn 360°, also would cover off your esc.
Is the timing of a brushed motor such that it effects the torque depending on direction of rotation? Should the motor leads be swapped and the ESC throttle channel be reversed. Might move the over-kill reverse punch to forward travel and improve drag brake? (I assume the 1080 drag brake is on MAX?)
It would, but I don't think there are any sealed cans with advanced timing. Spoilers, but there's only one sure thing to fix the drag brake and punchiness of the Reedy...
I’m curious if the sc480x can be programmed using the hw card….. I’m impatiently awaiting my sendero so I can see.
Just got the 2.2 deep woods...those gents are huge!! Good thing they are going on an R1 buggy body. Hope they do well on Traxxas axles. What are your thoughts on foams? Thinking of trying my hand at printed "foams"??
Yeah, Duratrax does not mess around when it comes to stepping their 1.9s up to 2.2. The 2.2 Showdowns are also massive.
Everyone raves about 3D printed "anti-foams" but they're outside of my comfort zone in terms of "price per unit." Putting in a "foam" that costs more than the tire it's filling is just weird to me.
@@CrawlerCanyon just curious. What would you consider a "reasonable" price for a set of printed inserts?
@@JPWirt The squid guys are getting close with their 1.9 pricing. I could probably manage 10 bucks apiece, and we're not quite there yet. But say the $35 a pair for anti-foams? Dealbreaker, baby.
@@CrawlerCanyon I don't know if he has any other way to get a hold of him than Facebook messenger, but DB Hobby is local to me and has been pretty reasonable in price. I've helped him with development in building his tire fitment library. He's even working on inserts for my 2.2 Cut & Shut Tusks right now. You might give him a shout if you have a specific tire you'd like to try inserts in.
If you get a chance, try out the VXT2s on something on the damp/wet rocks. I ran them one misty morning and was surprised at how well they worked for me on the damp rocks.
Well now I have to do that. But who? WHOOOOOOOO
@@CrawlerCanyon somebody without fenders like Ms. Direction or Daphne...or one who usually runs 1.9 Ruptures as they're the same size.
@@JPWirt Blue Sky High hasn't been punched around in awhile. Looks like that's gonna change soon.
@@CrawlerCanyon looking forward to that! I like Blue Sky High.
@@CrawlerCanyon I used them on my Stagedive out of necessity but stumbled upon the fact that the damp rocks kept the tread "clean".
Your going to have to get a decent transmitter. Look into the dx5c. Think it holds up to 20? Models. Have to buy spektrum receivers but its decent. Don't get the rugged. It will be a 3 part episode about struggling with the touch screen
I had a DX5C with a handful of receivers early into my crawler obsession, and one of my resolutions that year was to "rid my life of Spektrum." The 5 series has one of the clunkiest user interfaces I've ever encountered. My now vintage Sanwa MT-4 uses a very similar scroll wheel for menu navigation, but it not only works, but works really well. I've yet to meet a post-Horizon Spektrum product that I actually like.
Total noob here. Why vent the tires? Or do you have a video on that already?
Tires come in three basic flavors: pneumatic, semi-pneumatic, and solid. There are pneumatic tires for toy cars, but that's something I can't comment on directly as I've as of yet been unwilling to spend the money on a set to test-- but do suspect... problems. Particularly side-hilling. We also don't deal in solid tires, as we're not operating forklifts.
So we fall firmly semi-pneumatic-- all of our tires are filled with air, and them some other material to control the shape and overall behavior of the tire-- the insert. For that insert to function properly, it (in simplest terms) needs to be able to breathe. A non-vented tire is at the whims of the environment-- air temperature doesn't have to change much to cause a tire to swell or collapse. Also, it is close enough as to be impossible to stop water and debris from getting inside a tire. If that tire is not vented, that debris cannot get out, so it will just grind the insert into dust, like your very own tiny rock tumbler.
All 1.9 tires get a pair of 4mm holes, 180º apart. Bigger 2.2 tires get four holes, 90º apart. All tires vented, always.
TL;DR: vent all of your tires because they don't work properly otherwise.
@@CrawlerCanyon and this is exactly why you’re my go to whenever I’m interested in a new tire or piece of gear. Your explanations are so on point. Thanks!
Those are Element Trailwalker sliders.
Well there you go. Must have come in a parts box.
what in the name of weird marcian alein pulple stuff is that ? i would have burn that in a second (while parying it won't just get it angry and consume me )
Apparently just something called springtails, or "snow fleas." I mean, I guess they come down in rain? Which is at the same time equal parts neat and somehow terrifying. I don't want bugs in my rain, harmless or not. I guess where it snows they get MILLIONS of them. Like one square foot is 4 million springtails or something. As an internet man once said, "Damn nature, you scary."
@@CrawlerCanyon well as a hot climate dweller,i am not familiar with these creatures,and so i i learned a new thing about snow bugs 👍
