I saw some negative reviews about the fusion SE’s bearing (after running it on water) which they say is not fixable. Do you use this exact model or do you prefer the 1080 esc and a motor of your choice? I will surely wait for that maintenance video. Also subscribed to your channel for some great contents!

I have tried every Fusion on the market, and I've never had one go bad on me yet. I like to run the 1080 esc and Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster 550 13T in all my trail trucks. And the new hobbywing brushed motors are really good to. I have Fusions in all my LowCg crawlers since I don't go in the water as much with them.

@@ManitobaRC hobbywing looks great for upgrades then. Anyways, thanks again man!

Thank you 😊 The Zuul is a great rc. It performs very well with the IFS2 👍

It sure is fun 😁 Has a lot to offer, for being on the side of the road lol

I'm actually doing that tonight 🤙 going to open up the axles, clean and regrease everything. Might as well open up the transmission just to be safe, that was alot of water!

@@ManitobaRC do you clean it every time you get into mud and water?

Usually I'll go over the rig when something starts to squeak lol. That was my first time going in that much water! I'll have to wd-40 all the screws, bunch of them are rusty now 😅

Thank you 😊 I put on metal bumpers, new StealthXF transmission, Reefs metal rock sliders, Artful Dodgers Servo on axle mount, and their metal bumper skid plate. SSD brass diff covers, Treal wheels with heavy front inner rings, Injora silicone inserts in the 4.5 Pitbull Rockbeasts tires. Stretched the wheelbase from 12.3 to about 12.8. Electronics are, Hobbywing motor and esc brushed setup, hobbyporter remote/receiver, and a Power HD 25kg servo. It's had alot of work done!

@@ManitobaRC yeah it's a lot of work done i can see that. it performs very well. you think that stealth xf is much better than the X?

@@raident29 I'd say it's one of the biggest upgrades done to the Trailwalker. It comes with 18% overdrive already installed, also moves the motor more forward which is a big difference. Downfall of the XF you can't unbolt it and move it to another truck, the lower half of the transmission is the skidplate.

@@ManitobaRC yeah it's the lower part is the skid itself. i have both the x and xf which do you think is better for a prerunner build? i'd be removing the overdrive and putting it to 1:1 ratio.

@raident29 I would go with the X for a pre runner build, I forgot if the Xf comes with the gears to go 1:1.

It was pretty sweet getting that slow-mo shot 🤘

I agree I've seen those pinseekers do alot better on a buddy's rig. I might give the 4.19 Jconcepts Megalithics a try for rock crawling, then just keep the grabbers for trailing.

Solid upgrade 👍 My reedy servo was randomly twitching on my last run, so I replaced it before it crapped out. Stock electronics in crawlers are usually worth upgrading right away if you can.

anything from element rc

Any brand has good options, I would recommend a Element Ecto. Great price for what you get. It will crawl very well and has a narrow body compared to any other crawler. Also something to consider is will you be Rock Crawling or Trailing?

Ecto 12 is cool or a Zuul 😊

Personally I just got into crawling after only having bashers for a few years, I went with the axial basecamp because it was on sale and it's been the best thing I could have ever asked for out of the box with diy mods. Although any element rc in the same price range is just as capable!

@@m.m.aautos6608 Basecamp is Nice

Thank you, much appreciated!

@@ManitobaRC i have a knight walker and an utron. was thinking of using the ifs2 for the knight walker and putting trailing rear suspension for a pre-runner like build

That would be pretty sweet! Put some brushless power in it and hit some dirt hills 🤘

@@ManitobaRC already got the fusion pro 2300kv, it's a beast of a motor!

I added brass wheel hubs/rotors, and heavier rings inside the front wheels. Treal servo on axle mount and that's it. The Scx10 Pro comes as a builders kit, so you pick your own body, electronics, and wheels/tires of your choice. It does very well without a bunch of upgrades

@@ManitobaRC how does it compare to the ascent fusion?

​@@Danielxperez14 The fusion ascent probably crawls just as good out of the box, especially since they added brass portal covers on the front axle. The scx10 pro will have more flex and might help in certain situations.

I had to check it out. What an awesome park!

@@ManitobaRC it is perfect little place to rip around. Lots of room!

Pro-line Cliffhanger body, it's listed as a 12.3" wheelbase body.

@@ManitobaRC i was thinking of putting that body on a 12.8(325mm) element enduro. will it fit with the chassis if i cut it right?

@raident29 I think you should be fine, my scx10 pro is 12.5" wheelbase. I like to setup the body so the wheels are flush with the headlights or stick out past the body a touch.

@@ManitobaRC thanks man! i kinda want to set it up like what you did but on a 12.8 wheelbase.

​@@raident29 No problem, hope it goes well with the new body!

Hey man! Nice to see you found the channel 🤘

That would be nice to crawl a new area, what's the go to spot in Stonewall ?

It's mainly just the quarry at the edge of town, it only has 2 main GOOD hills tho which is the down side here, one huge rock wall with many possibilities and another sandy/rocky side hill section on another hill side, not nearly as big as Stoney but some solid sections! I have only been out to Stoney once but I plan on stepping out this evening for my second crawl sesh there

​@m.m.aautos6608 sounds like it is worth checking out 👍 I'll try to make it out there this Saturday, around 11am.

I knew I forgot something 😅, thanks Jim 🫡

Thank you. I really like the way this truck rides, lots of suspension movement and handles the power very well. Thanks for watching! 👍

Where did you find trailer hitch at?

@brandonhowell5039 I found this one on Amazon 👍

Thanks Jim! This truck was so fun to build, the Ecto body makes everyone think it's a stock element underneath lol. But that's actually what I was going for on this one, make it seem like a trail truck but performs soo much better!

Thanks Alan! Great minds think alike 🤘 hope you have a good weekend, and thanks for watching!

Thanks Arty 👍 The portals would forsure help. I should have a Capra show down one day 🤔 I have the Og capra it's not 4 wheel steer and still has the portals, the straight axle converted Capra and the Capra Utb18 😅 Thanks again for watching Arty 🤙

Thanks man! I gotta take it off some smaller jumps next, like a real Raptor 🤘Thanks for watching

Thank you! 🙏 The Vanquish Phoenix will hold it's own against the ecto. The ecto might actually be a better crawler since it has a really narrow and lightweight body. And the Phoenix probably weighs 1.5-2 pounds more than the ecto.

Big quality control issue with the Zuul it seems. That's unfortunate we have to fix a "RTR" 😅

Thank you, It's alot of fun! 🤙

It's crazy that's just on 3S Lipo, and stock gearing, it can be faster 😎 It's perfect for me the way it is, I prefer to have a longer run and have some fun then try to hit top speeds 🤙 Thanks for watching Jimbo, always nice to see your comments.

@@ManitobaRC longer run times are better !

@@ManitobaRCthe vxl system overheats like immediately on 19t and even 17t with ecm and motor fans

Thanks for the heads up! 👍 I might do a 14t or 15t to keep things from overheating. I will forsure grab a heat sync and fan for the motor. It was getting pretty hot just on the stock gearing in my last run.

@@ManitobaRC yea the vxl is pretty garbage. I was disappointed.

No problem Chris, I agree with you I really like the blue Zuul body. The IFS was also upgraded on the Zuul, better ground clearance than the previous version

The fully modified truck has the Pitbull Rock Beasts, and slightly modified has the Rc4wd Mudslingers. Both are on 1.9 wheels 👍

Thank you 😊 I'm just glad it wasn't broken, but the quality control should be better! The blue Zuul has the independent front suspension and solid rear axle, also has the scratch and weather body. The Ecto has a solid front axle and solid rear axle. Both trucks have the rear trailing arm setup, not traditional lower links like most other crawlers. To be honest, you might be happier with the performance of Ecto, the IFS on the Zuul does not perform as well compared to a solid front axle. If you really like the Zuul body, they have a brown/beige body version and it comes with a solid front axle like the Ecto. Sorry for the paragraph lol, and thank you for the subscribe and comment 👍

Thank you! 😁🤙

Thanks! I'll try for a clean double backflip next time 🤙

Absolutely 🤙
