Element RC Ecto Black Edition: Unboxing & Trail Run
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 бер 2023
- This truck looks so sick and some have said it’s one of the best performing ready-to-run trail trucks out there. Is it?! Today we’re taking a look at the new Element RC Enduro Ecto Black Edition. In this video, we go over the features of the Ecto on the bench, including adjustable overdrive, a new scratch and weather body, straight axles, Gatekeeper suspension, behind the axle steering and more. I also got a new CarryAll RC pack so I strapped this to my back and take it on a secret mountain bike trial for the maiden run.

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.
Hey all - seems to be a scammer going around using my logo replying to comments about a giveaway (again...). It's not me. Don't fall for scams!!!
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!
You have the most comprehensive crawler reviews on UA-cam. I have this car on order and didn’t know Reedy offered a card for programming until I watched your review. No other UA-camr mentioned this. You rock! 🙏
My sister from The RC Girl channel is so cool!! I think the explanation is too good. It's great.😁😁😍😍
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!
Ahhh yes! Another fellow MTB & RC nerd! MTB trail systems have some of the best terrain to run crawlers.
That's a cool looking truck I like those wheels they really stand out with the flat black paint job. Great vid keep up the great work!
I've been a Traxxas/Axial fan, but this looks like a worthy(and fun) step out of my comfort zone. Thanks for featuring it.
I had a buddy the same as you, needless to say, he was pleasantly surprised with the Ecto. Give it a shot!!
@@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.
@@douglaselliott8298 the only review? It’s an ecto been out for years and almost every single UA-camr has covered it already.
Just got my ecto black three days ago and out of the box its a beast. Keep the vids coming i enjoy watching
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.
That's a great truck, and what a stunning place to run it! You're very lucky to have that to play on. I'm into mountain biking, and that looks like a great place to explore!! Nice job. 😎👍🏻
Cool video! I remember meeting the Element guys when they first launched a few years ago at Proline by the fire, the trucks have a lot of great engineering behind them, and this might be my next truck!
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.
I can't wait to own this truck! The ecto impressed me so much when i tried it. Great video! Thanks so much!
That is stunning. The environment of course.
Love your content and energy. Thanks for sharing....!
Thank you! 🤘🏼
This might be my first 1/10 scale RC now. Great Video
Amazing Footage!!! Very Cool Trail beautiful landscape!!! The ECTO in black is a beauty!!!
Terrific rig. Looks and capability! Also your RC sling for the back pack is awesome. Cheers!
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Awesome video thank u ma'am. I love how quiet it is...may be my next rig to purchase
I really like the Ecto in the new finish. Great video!
The truck looks amazing. Great vid thanks.
* * 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 !
That thing must be something special.
I mean. All the way to an isolated area "only accessible" on a trail bike to run that baby. Wow. 😊
Awesome rig ❤
Dead batteries?!! Sounds like something I would do too! 😂 Love the trail bike and location, awesome choices!
One awsome crawler!
Im completely new to this scene and just bought my first crawler. The Ecto is what i picked based solely on the looks😂 super pleased to see this video combines MTB and crawling, genius! I ride my bike in some 😍 places...taking my crawler with me will allow me to slow down and enjoy these places more. May even end up starting my own channel haha thanks for the inspiration!!🎉 Subscription engaged🤙
Oh wow love that rig specially being black my favorite
Heck yeah looks like RC heaven there for sure gosh this is going to be awesome really appreciate you sharing RC girl 👍👍😎
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 .
Nice video! Awesome crawler & trail truck.
RC and MTB…RC Dream GIRL for the win😍
Simp
Great lookin rig. Love the black edition too!
Awesome! Great Bike! Great video!
That’s a nice ride there. I have been looking for another option to go with. I love my TRx4 sport. This new one might be a winner.
Super cool RC girl, watching now Friday morning 8:30 AM
Great video 😍
Nice pack, an awesome truck.
Ha, that's one cool looking truck. As for the uncharged batteries, don't feel to bad, we've all done that. Lol. Nice video, thanks for sharing. John
I keep a package of Avery 1/4" green dot stickers at my charging station. I place a dot on each battery as it comes off the charger. I remove the sticker when it's drained. Simple & effective.
Nice video. Thankyou.
Great vid, very nice spot there for trail running.-
Nice Video! 🫶🏻👍🏻😀
This new Element looks real nice 👍
Great video 👍👍💯
It's about time a company did that. I've been painting mine that way for years
Very nice vid👍
Beautiful 😍
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 :)
Also can’t find this …
Super vidéo merci 😊
Awesome video RC Girl I like it and watching enjoying too and looks great 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😎♥️ AWESOME TRUCK RC GIRL
Definitely the most awesome looking RTR crawler I've seen. I'm building an Enduro right now, but I might actually buy one of these to go with it. 🙂
Yeah it looks so good. They did a great job on this one!
@@RCGirl check the error banner at 11:46
Oh man that's how I roll twice a week with my RC on my back
i love element, my build of my daily(77 Chevy 4x4 van)in 1/10 scale was a builders kit from them with proline body, I need this ecto thought its bad ass looking.
I have a few of those Batteries & they are awesome every chance I get I pick another one up. I’ll got the 3600mah version also & recommend. Can’t go wrong with Gens.
very nice friend❤
I am a fan of the color also, it looks bad to the bone I love it
Cool video👍 big like👍👍👍
Nice vid!
No way to uncharged batteries oh well will watch for the next one. Really appreciate what you did share it was super cool love it, will watch for the next one until then peace and chicken grease 😁👍👍😎
the larger battery tray can be used up front , only the shorter one fits with in the body at the back.
I got the gate keeper builders kit then added the ecto body as a option.
So happy to have found your channel, awesome video! I’m think about the enduro SE for a 1/10 trail truck, what would you recommend?
Nice video nice ecto...
Yeah love my carryall RC backpack I have the very first one that they made and it is awesome even got room to carry a lunch yeah
👍🏽 Like from France 🇫🇷
Noticed and like the rivet look around the windshield and? Storage areas on the bed.
i love your mountain bike i am an avid mountain biker and rc enthusiast myself
WOW!!!! That wad AWESOME RC Girl!!! For me the Ecto has been the best performer out od the box compared to all my other rigs. If you keep the stock esc and motor I would recommend getting the Reedy programmer card. Works just like the HW one. I dialed the punch down a little bit, very smooth.👍👍👍
Ah yes, I should pick up a card 👌🏼
Awesome vid!!👍. Been wanting to carry my rig on my mountain bike. Lots of great places to crawl were I ride:). Awesome to see mountain biking and the RC hobby connecting so cool!! Really awesome truck too.
Great location and love biking in to get to it. There’s loads of great bike trails here (Scotland) that would be great for crawling but unless you’re there at 5am they’re too busy to be Rc-ing on 😅
Enjoyed the video, looks like a super capable rig. Brought uncharged batteries? We must be related lol!.
Oh no! 😂 rode all that way too!
Awesome work 👏. & mad trails , they will teach u to insure charged batteries ,young jedi..
Mega 😂😂 so honest 👏👏✊️
ขอให้มีความสุขนะค่ะ
Great video. Pretty good RTR I'd be hardpressed to believe it handles better than the vanquish phoenix though.
When will they be in stock!! Great video. Looks like the PNW 🤙
You're not messing around with the MTB, nice ride ya got there.
Whats up rc girl!🤗 like looks of this truck alot!
Me gusta mucho este coche y los videos que haces un 10
Love the black body and this Truck. my Ecto have a driver in it, seen on my channel😁
Love this truck! I have a question though.....I love to add scale details. Is an interior available for it? Thanks!
Hello RC girl back watching again I got my body reamer and Lexan scissors they are awesome. I appreciate you Just want you to know I received it, and you have beautiful handwriting
This Black version is the best looking one yet. I already have a Ecto so it makes no sense to buy another one that has the same chassis. They should’ve added some kind of upgrades that they showed on the SE model. It’s I super good performer stock but an update would’ve been nice.
Nice work again. Keep the the good content coming. Great to watch. I've got a question for ya. Will a 11.1volt lipo battery damage a 540 Brushed motor originally rated for 7.4 volts if a ESC is used? You're the only one I trust to answer this.Thanks
@Text +①(④⓪②) ③①⑥-②③⑨⑤ this is a scammer. Don't fall for it!
Just ordered one of your body Reimers set super cool, I have a body reamer I’ve had for some years but it’s junk not very good quality
Very nice crawler truck...
Where can i buy that carring bag..
Here in Montréal there is not many rc store...❤❤❤❤
It looks like a light rig. A good feature for a crawler.
Yeah it's kinda light. Should have weighed it. Great for crawling and bike packing!
I have the enduro, do they not use most of the same stuff in it, like frame, axles, shock mounts. Could I not just get the rear sway bar and drag link setup and convert mine to an Ecto?
This is the one I’d get if I were to get one
2 months owning this rig.. what do you think of it still.
Hey RC Girl where can I get a backpack like that? Keep up with the great videos!!
The uncharge battery never happens to me, I always check and put it separately do that and you will thank me
Hi RC Girl! Thanks for your great videos, I don't have any RC yet but you're making me want one hehe ;-) I was wondering if you know if there's a decent RC hovercraft out there? My brother had the Tyco Typhoon in the 90's, I still think it was awesome and would love to get a modernized version. If it doesn't exist, maybe I could build one? Thanks 🙂
I'm thinking about buying one of these and turning it into 6×6 RC recovery vehicle, inspired by the world's heaviest off-road Wrecker, from Matt's off-road recovery.
Hahahaaaa.
Glad to see you are not on an ebike :)
Ah man.. I just got the Traxxas defender and G63… lol oof I want this now too
เก่งจังนะค่ะ
