  • Out on the rocks with a slightly modified Element Knightrunner! I share my thoughts on the truck and talk about why this may not be a Tacoma RC truck.

    I have no idea how you are able to do such a coherent and comprehensive review while still driving these trucks through some crazy obstacles! Very impressed! I can’t even talk to my buddies and drive without crashing. 🤣

    The realistic look of the rig is a win. And with all of the custom parts available, that will make for some fun builds.

    Definitely gonna be adding one of these to the fleet. Used to have the Trailrunner and the IFS made it more difficult yet more interesting to drive than my straight axle Trail Honcho was. It had its weak points and wouldn’t go some of the places my honcho would go but man I had a blast with it still!

    I totally get this kit! Not only because I drive a taco. When I see how good the TRX-4 sport is I kind of want more of a challenge. Seeing what this can do in this video is impressive (with skills I don't have yet, lol.) I think I'm going to put smaller "street" tires on one, lower it, speed it up, and make it a pre-runner. I only put my real taco in 4wd when I can't move, or I'm in traffic and can't mess around. LOL I hope they offer more colors. The Gatekeeper is $100 off for crawling. It will be neat to compare them on the same course.

    • @japaokawa
      @japaokawa 2 роки тому

      Im on the same boat, will probably go with the tf2 because theyre a hole lot of fun.
      The element must perform 10x better though, but for me its all about realism .

    WoW this thing looks SUPER scale ... you make it look very realistic! Beautiful looking rig! But hey Logan .... any chance you might be making anymore Gladiator content?

    I can't wait to get the Trailrunner (4runner version of knightrunner). I have a TRX4 on links and a Trailfinder 2 on leaf springs. I think this would be a great in between ground vehicle. I wonder what it would take to put leaf springs from the TF2 on that thing's rear.

    But........
    I want the 10.3 jeep hahaha.
    I think I'm a axial guy.
    I did buy a baja rey 1/10 but that's different.
    Hahaha.
    Great review.
    I agree with your point on ifs.
    But I only like ifs for speed style trucks.
    That may like you say be a good pre runner.
    But.
    1.55 is not my tire size choice.
    Haha.
    I need the gladiator lol....
    Again.
    Awesome man.

    Great review. You: 12:55 "Best way it drags its self through" hit the nail on the head... Nipped them annoying hook hanger off pushed in front & rear bumper had to drill new holes front & rear yo slide bumpers exactly where I wanted put bow house steering support ssd, front knuckles & 4.19 landmines & it is a little beast. & still looks great.... Best looking poorest running out the box not much to seek better looks & smash the already poor proformence or nip push & cram it into a very good looking yet capable rig.

    Parts literally fly off this truck going down the trail. It looks good, but buyer beware. Don at Associated support did not honor warrenty. He was rude then lied and said I cursed him out so he would have a excuse to hang up on me. So no help from Associated.
