- Thank you all for watching I greatly appreciate it!!! So a little more modifications are needed to get it where I want it but overall, it’s the best performing crawler I have. The vanquish phoenix is right there with it and will be installing a fusion SE 1800kv in it with in the next week or so.
For current parts breakdown, please see the video description in the previous video 👍
Again, thank you so much for watching !!!🙏

Hi,
Awesome crawler and awesome crawling adventure!👍
Greetings Seven🖖
Greetings Seven 👋 Thank you sir 🙏
New to the hobby, thanks for the video!
I’ve only been it since June of last year. A lot of fun, a lot to learn and a whole lot to spend your money on. Purchase wisely and have fun!
Thanks so much for watching!🙏👍
That's a nice rig! Thanks for the video.
Thank you sir! It’s an awesome RC crawler and trail truck.
Nice rig... Love the ecto's
It’s my favorite out of all of them so far. Thanks for watching!! 👍
I know this is an old video, but I just discovered it. Your course is pretty amazing. I too have an Ecto. I did most of the same mods, 2300 FOC, Treal wheels, better tires, etc. One mod I did is use the Sendero rear mount inverted on the front. It raised up the front, allowing for a better approach angle. I am also planning on getting the high clearance links.
That’s really good to know, I’ll have to look into that Sendero rear mount inverter. Who makes that? I love the Ecto, it’s literally the best truck I have. I’ve done a little more on the course and planning on doing a lot more when the weather warms up. Thanks so much for watching and the info! Definitely gonna look into that rear mount inverter.
Got that Ekto murder out 👍 you build yourself a pretty good crawler track to run with
Thanks! The Ecto with a fusion pro and a little brass is my favorite rig to date. Thanks so much for watching and the comment!!
I want it. Haha! Very nice man!
Thank you 👍
👍👍😁😁
great video man! i am contemplating getting this one or the zuul. still cant decide
Thank you! I was the same, almost bought the zuul but ended up getting the Ecto. I “believe” they are the same underneath, just a different body. I may be wrong though.
Those wheels probably have a higher offset than your previous wheels. And that brings the wheel closer to the center line of the truck. I had something similar happen expect my wear happened on a brand new set of tires and foams. So that was $60 down the drain. Actually $75 because I had to purchase wider hubs.
Or you file down those steering track arms until you have clearance.
Either way, nice truck!!!!
Yeah I have some 7&8mm hex nuts on the way to push them out a little. Just didn’t notice until it had already ground the rims a little. Live and learn 😂
This is an older video and I have a different, but similar rig, the Zuul. My Zuul has an adjustable panhard mount, that allows you to loosen the screws and slide it up a few millimeters to fix some issues with the panhard bar hitting the pumpkin. Since the Ecto came out before the Zuul I was wondering if this was something added to the Zuul that wasn't on the Ecto originally? Either way, hope the high link panhard bar worked out!
When I put on the rock pirates front shock towers it raised the pan hard mount location and I had to add a spacer to drop it down a little but with the high clearance link that helped a bunch too. The configuration I have it set at now does really good. I might have to look at that adjustable pan hard mount for the zuul and see if it might fit the ecto. They are very similar but having that adjustability would be really nice.
Thanks for the info and thanks so much for watching!!
Gonna have to make your upper links longer and get a better angle on your drive shaft and fill in the driveshaft with a little filler inside to keep your driveshaft from going one way or another
Thank you! Good to know! I did high clearance links but I’ll definitely look at the drive line angles and yeah a filler in each end would help 👍
MIP makes a great driveshaft for the ecto
@@stevekelley677 really? Did not know they made parts too. I’ll have to check that out! Thank you & thanks so much for watching!!👍🙏
the body posts aligned with perfectly body holes with the RP shock towers?
No I had to make new holes. The rock pirates shock mounts pushed the posts back. The black stickers on the hood cover the factory post holes
Metal shavings caused by the knuckles rubbing the rim?? Just thought if it watched the video twice,
Yes sir, the beadlock wheels didn’t have enough offset to clear the knuckles. It really didn’t do too much damage. Just wore a little grove. Got some 8mm wheel hex and all good.
Its not a big deal happens in real life if we want it to or not lol
the ecto is my fav crawler iv ever had how do u like the shock towers ? also did u solve the panhard hitting pumpkin and if so do u have link for the high clearance bar
The Ecto is hands down my favorite crawler. The shock towers are ok, the upper panhard mount is on the shock tower and needs to more forward so the panhard bar would clear the axle pumpkin. They have good shock mounting options and better than factory but still not perfect.
Thanks so much for comment and for watching!!!
