    I ordered the Black Ecto and should receive it in the next few days so I’ve been watching a ton of videos about it. I have to say this has been my favorite so far. I wasn’t a subscriber before but now I am. Thank you for the straightforward and informative overview and especially thank you for showing how it did on the trails. Keep up the great work.

    Not sure how/why YT suggested this vid, but I'm glad I watched it! As a MTB'er and used to do RC cars back as a teenager as well, I'm thinking of taking it slow and getting back in with this truck! Thanks for sharing! New subscriber!

    Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration. Took my Gravel bike out for a loop with my Capra strapped on my backpack for a mid ride break and crawl. Will definitely be doing it again!

    Very cool video. Excellent review, nice crawling and I love the biking in aspect! And we’ve all accidentally brought the uncharged batteries (or forgotten the EC3 to Dean’s adapter so the charged batteries couldn’t be plugged in!). The matte black is gorgeous - it’s gonna look wicked sick as the rocks start to take their toll!

    You have the most comprehensive crawler reviews on TH-cam. I have this car on order and didn’t know Reedy offered a card for programming until I watched your review. No other TH-camr mentioned this. You rock! 🙏

    I wish we were in the same country, I love riding my MTB and crawling RC cars and often combine the 2, as you have. Riding in you can get to some awesome trails for both is so cool. Really enjoyed this thanks, I’m just starting out with my crawling vids so this is very inspirational. The element is on my wish list, look like a great crawler.

      ​@@6oh8rc48 I dunno; RC Girl has been the ONLY influencer to feature this truck, and her abbreviated trail run leaves $399.00 of doubt in my mind. More time should have been spent organizing for the truck's review rather than the gd bicycle trail and backpack.

    Good to see a Girl into Trucks and RC's. I like your reviews. This Ecto is super cool looking. My favorite is your flat black model. I want to scratch it off to show that Rustoleum Red Color. It reminds me of my Red Cat Ascent. I am going to get one of these. I am glad I found your review. THANK YOU.

    That spot you entered the cow gate was an all time favorite place for long range (and other general flying) FPV back in the day for our group in SC before they got all strict with it. Legend has it you can still occasionally find a Capirinha or Bixler flying every now and again lol. Awesome video. Blows me away how detailed these trucks are.

    I’ve been wanting an ecto since they came out.
    I’ve searched for some vids of folks running brushless systems that have a bit of speed but can’t find any.
    I LOVE trailing but like all my “crawlers” to be able to kick up dirt too! Just like my 1:1 trail trucks and Jeeps :)

    I’ve had a Element r/c Trail Walker rig a few years ago. A tire change and it became a inexpensive beast. Unfortunately I sold it. I was in my local hobby shop and asked is Element R/C still around. My hobby guy point out the Ecto truck. Oh wow. Then I found out some my local guys super crawlers are built on Element chassis. How did I miss your review of this cool truck. I know life and too much time running the 24th and 18th scale trucks .

    * * I just bought my first crawler a few wks ago * *
    I was shopping for a used crawler for my first one. and one of the guys i was talking to about buying his had someone message him about buying theirs ( he was known as a collector so ppl would constantly reach out to him to buy theirs ) and so he linked me to that guy.
    he so happened to be selling a BRAND NEW enduro knightrunner 4x4 that had like 30 min of play time.
    he paid full price for it like a day or 2 prior and he sold it to me for $250 ! ( yes he had receipts etc so i know it wasnt stolen )
    this truck is AWESOME out of the box. ( mine has the blue tacoma body on it but i am having a custom FJ cruiser body 3d printed for it soon )
    i am in the process of digging a little crawler section in my backyard right now. ( but its becoming summer here in az so i need to hurry hahha )
    the only issue ive had with mine is i think the factory didnt install one of the toe arms correctly cuz it kept popping out. so i took both left and right sides out and got them even and reinstalled and it hasnt popped back out again since. ( also the axle would pop out when that happened too and its a pain to get back in cuz you gotta align both at the same time lol )
    anyways... cheers and ENJOY !
    * BTW * that truck body on yours is sick af !
