    Its a pretty solid option for more scale builds, as most trucks and SUVs are IFS and solid axle out back. Would be a cool platform for a Ram Runner build.

    I like it, it's like a narrow track yeti with rear suspension mounted on the axle rather than lower trailing arms. This truck has some super cool scale options in its future. Gotta get that body secured, pretty floppy running, good look though overall, I like the pre runner direction. The enduro is on my list of rigs to pick up, and this ifs kit may kick it to the top of the list.

Also, I do a one week summer day camp at our school called Mach 5, it is all about racing. This summer I am going to give all the kids who attend an Axial SCX24. Your video on the SCX24 helped me to think this would be awesome element to our camp. So myself and the other teacher both bought one to “test”. Thanks for all the great videos. I was thinking about getting the SCX10 II Blazer but I might get the Element instead! I love that Chevy C10 body on it! I never thought crawling would be so fun. My speed car is an Arrma Talion!

      Michael Banti The servo gets moved to the top plate of the Element set-up for either truck. I think the front of the chassis rails are the same so the kit should bolt up with the 3D printed adapter parts. Might want to double check with Element.

    In the real rock crawling world the solid axle out performs the IFS. The front carrier that holds the front diff now hangs down in the way. Guys with IFS Toyota’s convert there IFS to solid axles. All the rest of the Crawler R/C cars are solid axles. Pass.
