Another Epic informative, Great Video! Love the 24's too... "2001 Gil Losi Sr. of Team Losi sold the Team Losi brand to Horizon Hobby in 2001." "2018 Founded in 2005, Axial R/C, Inc. quickly became a global brand leader of hobby grade radio controlled products and was later acquired by Horizon Hobby, LLC in 2018." So explains why... lol... & losi 10th scale rock rey & Axial yeti are almost clones... lol... losi was well ahead on allot that's getting trickled back into market even the scx6 has 1/6 rock Ray size rims & tires can swap! I really love the history
@@RCTNT You are intuitive & accurate... & only shared because your intellectual intelligence! Thus I never ever claim to be a know it all... Just a little about a whole lot! Lol. You are awesome 🤜🤛 🤙 👍!
@RC-TNT I love mine!! I've started making my own lexan bodies for them. I've got a 90s dual cab Hilux, Nissan GQ Patrol and working on a Defender atm 😊
Thumbs up! I got the Hobbyplus CR24 G-Armor. It has also 1s Lipo and Looks like the same Remote. Motor ist in the Center. But i love it and i added LED in the Headlights and Bumpers. It lighten up a whole room^^ I like ure Reviews and u got a nice Course at Home^^ Go ahead like that.
I have the cr24 aswell, I changed the esc and controler and run 2s on it now. The stock esc will run 2s but gets hot and cuts out. Also cr18 tires are the same hight as scx24s tires but softer and more grippy. Oh and I made it into a 6x6 too
Ah, nice. I've had it in my mind to make an 8x8 or greater in 1/24 scale. I'll get around to it eventually - 3d printing will be helpful and I'm looking forward to it! Thanks for the motivation, got any pics or videos?
I just got this because the price was just to good to pass up. I’m actually pleasantly surprised, it’s been performing better than expected. I do have 3 Scx24’s. These mini crawlers are to addictive.
Looks awesome man! I actually bought a 1s spektrum battery, I believe it is 800mah, and soldered on the connector from the original battery. Much better now, longer run time.
Fair enough! That'd be hours of fun, I'd think! For anyone else reading this, there are countless turnigy options on hobbyking with the correct connector already attached, though pay attention to polarity (can swap the wires easily if needed).
I really enjoyed ur video buddy 😊 they're always interesting in how u actually talk bout likes n dislikes n boy I agree 👍 that Enduro truck is awesome I have it on my list 😁
I really like this little chassis. I don't have one yet, but if I was going to get one, it'd be one of this type. Way better than the SCX24 or others in this size range. And, to be frank, I don't care at all for the body choices in the SCX24 lineup. This little Enduro24 looks like a passable clone of a 1990 or so Ford Ranger extended cab, which is definitely more appealing than jeep anything. looking at this and the RGT 1:24 crawler... am I seeing things, or are those two chassis basically identical? right down to the tires and the ESC/RX combo unit. Also, that clip at the end literally had me guffawing out loud. Primo!
Ah awesome, glad you enjoyed it. And I had a little fun with it, yeah :) I go over the similarities here - you're not seeing things! th-cam.com/video/3UvIoWJS4lA/w-d-xo.html
I noticed the pumpkins would get hung up easy on the rocks. I threw some axial rock lizards and weights to mine. Makes it a bit taller and stable. Had to trim the body up to run the bigger tires but it performs great now. Just my two cents.
Nice. I'd expect to need a motor upgrade with that sort of change, I've found that may the weaker part of these rigs. I don't doubt it's worth it though!
@@RCTNT so far so good with the original motor and drivetrain. Maybe a little less battery time but I haven’t timed it or anything. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it… yet 😆
Great approach and agreed. I've done a motor on mine - even in stock form, hence my thinking here. I might have just had a bad unit, who knows. They're cheap, simple and good enough. Upgrades are fun but driving is driving! Cheers
If u boil those tires u can get them off the plastic rims they're actually really great tires when they're on beadlocks and no foams I was using them on one of my comp rigs for a long time
Placebo effect or not, I favor the Enduro24 for the exact same reasons. Together with the FMS Atlas 6x6. It handles very similar to the Enduro and honestly look like was made by the same manufacturer. Would be interesting to see you do a comparison of those two models.
After watching your review I have to admit: I haven't been fair with this rig. I thought it was just a different body from a Hobbyplus CR-24, but it seems I'm quite wrong after seeing the details on the axles, the motor position and the size of the servo. Though I am quite sure they share a few bits of componentry. Maybe even the same factory or manufacturer. I do think two things really hurt it, though: electronics and overall looks. The 2 in 1 ESC+receiver is an industry standard in this scale and, as you say, 1S does give more time to play, but I think it also hurts to be able to have a lower gear ratio and have a wider motor rpm range/spread to play with, as you have noted with the low speed control. Also, the whiney sound the motor/ESC makes is quite annoying (to me). Looks are in the eyes of the beholder, but the unlicensed, unpainted panel gaps body (which make it look very 90s or even toy-grade) and tires make this car look cheaper than it is. And I know it's not that expensive, especially compared to an SCX24, but that feels 2-3x more expensive in your hands. Not kidding. You put an SCX24 next to it and they really seem like two different categories of model rigs. I love Element and what they're trying to do as a company. It's nice to have a wide range of products to get to everyone. This was a first effort, and a decent one, but that IMO, it didn't show. Maybe next time they can upgrade at least the looks to make it more appealing, or else, make a Builder's kit to dump money to your hearts contempt to make it a very personal and very scale for the size rig. In this scale, although SCX24 is great, it's not cheap, and personally, I'd rather recommend Xiaomi's Jimny. For my own, I also ditched the electronics, to be able to get rid of the awful phone controls, use my own radio, the aftermarket electronics also came with a light kit. While at it, I also got a set of bearings, and for much less than a 100 bucks (base car is usually les than 50), I have a very scale, great looking and fun little rig. No, it's not as capable as an SCX24, but for my living room adventures and looking good on the shelf, it's more than enough... now if only it could take 2S too to have enough power to throttle out hard on very tight spaces, under load while the steering is fully locked... Does the Element suffer from this voltage shortage under this high demand manoeuvres?
Interesting. I don't agree with you on the value part, I think it's there for the price, but the body is a toy shell, yes! Their 1/24 Trailrunner is cool, but this platform is ready for a hard body and there's room for an interior, with the big stuff out of the way at each end. The Jimny is a cool little thing. This rig has no voltage droop issues under load. The Losi definitely does but the scx24 and Enduro24 both seem fine. Reversing under load is the biggest test as the circuitry is usually optimised for forward and often skimped on for reverse. Anyway, this one seems just fine. We can agree to disagree on the value here, at any rate. Element did an excellent job for their first attempt in this scale and its my favourite of the ones I have - so far! Few more coming yet. We'll look at them and then do a performance comparison at the end of it to see how well they crawl. I've said it many times before, we sure are spoilt for choice these days!
@@RCTNT I don't say it isn't good value, overall. But before driving the Element, the others seem like a better one, IMO. How boring it'd be if we always agreed... No argument on that last statement! ✌🏻
@@RCTNT re-reading my first comment, I might've not been clear enough by saying that there is value in the Element 24 in the fact that the engineering behind the chassis is commendable. It's only a pity that the electronics and especially the body don't allow it to shine as a more unique product for its uncommon but scale features
The body is a shame, yes. What's the issue with the electronics? That the third channel seems to be inaccessible? Fair enough. But the esc/rx is otherwise pretty good. I like the axial radio system better but the motor and servo in this thing is brilliantly matched to the vehicle. In any case, these little jiggers are just begging for hard body conversions, so the lame body detailing will become a null issue at that point. And fwiw, I asked my boy which of the tiny trucks he likes the look of best (Losi, scx24, Enduro24, rgt 1/24 rig I'll soon discuss) and he said the Enduro24. I asked him why and he said because the tray could carry things. So there's probably room for utility in the decision as well, I hadn't thought of that!
@@RCTNT as Yoda put it, how wonderful the mind of a small child is... I hadn't realized about the hard body conversion, especially since I have a Suzuki Samurai 1/24 model, just like my real car... Now you really talked me into getting one of this...arrrrg. lol
@@RCTNT I’m kinda dumb. It says right on the receiver that it’s waterproof🤦♂️ after I heard from you you that it was waterproof I went ahead and went mudding in my backyard. And when I was done I decided to wash off the mud, and realized that it says it on receiver🤦♂️F**k sakes 😂
@@RCTNT I went off your word in the video🤷♂️ I figured heck the worse thing that can happen is me putting in a new dumborc receiver and 30amp esc because original failed/died in water. Best part is that it didn’t and I had a ton of fun mudding it!
Awesome! I did the RGT version of this car, too. There's a video of it on the channel here somewhere, the 136240. When I was getting ready to film it at my river location, I accidentally hit the throttle reverse at full for a moment and it shot off the rock I had placed it on and straight into a deep pool of water. Fresh out of the box! I then went and filmed the video with it. Went... swimmingly. So yes, I know from experience the waterproofing is good on these!
