Shorten those rear lower links and clock the C-Hubs. Less chance of having a rod end pull off of the link. Also, get rid of the offset in the rear wheels if they are adjustable. Tucking them in will help with the C-Hubs catching as well as providing more gate clearance.
You are 100% correct! It was after this video I changed the links and re-clocked the portals. The wheels are adjustable, so I think I will narrow them in. Thanks for the wisdom!
The good news - they make it so you can do the geometry on the rear however you want. Some guidance in the manual would have been nice - but some tweaks after this video have made a big difference.
hello! incredible videos you make! and incredible kit, I love it and it is the next one I am going to buy and I want to put the same body on it, could you tell me the measurements or the file to download the body supports? I would appreciate it very much
Hi there! I wasn't going to upload the files, as they are very specific for this body on this truck - but I did since you asked! Here is the link: www.printables.com/model/1078887-enduro-comp-fox-body-mounts
thank you very much! You are very kind :) I am going to watch the video carefully about assembling the kit because I see that it is quite complicated and it will help me a lot to guide me through everything you explain about it. Greetings from Spain! You always have my support :)
You don need to adjust the rear C-hubs. They will give you the the same car hight as they are in the position you have now. I think they're idea is to have the rear c-hubs the maximum possible to the front to facilitate the obstacles passage without compromised the final hight of the portals. If you turn one of the rear c-hub and let the other in the manual angle (that seems strange) and check the car hight in the wheels fixation is the same hight in both sides. Thank you for the review I have mine assembled and now I can barely wait to put it on the rocks! 🎉
Hi there! Thanks for the opinion! I am much less concerned with rear height vs having a place to hang-up and the wheelbase length that I desire. For my use, adjusting the rear c-hubs will be a better solution for most situations.
@@RoadsideRC I just realized after my comment that if you turn theme to the other side is going to slide on the rocks and probably solve the stucking problem in the c-hubs that you have in this vídeo. 😅🎉
Love the paintjob on the cab, that blue and copper works really well together! Would it be possible to drill a small hole in the back of the plastic housing for the driveshaft and add a screw or pin there to stop it from moving backwards too much but still have the possibility to take it out for disassembly or would that upset the balance too much?
Thanks! That is a solid suggestion for the driveshaft! My son also suggested putting something inside of it to take up room. Honestly though, I shortened the lower pinks and re-clocked the portals. That has solved it.
@@RoadsideRC Maybe they will straight up sell an extended driveshaft later on if more have that issue. I assume a 3d printed driveshaft will just disintegrate as soon as you get stuck on something even slightly so it needs to be aluminium, so your son might have the best solution, cheap and easy and might be enough with a piece of paper towel even, so it just doesn't slide in all the way in
@ yup I want a comp Fox real bad. I love all your videos , specially the comparison videos. There’s not a lot of running videos on the comp Fox. Ur video is by far the best. Keep up the great work! Thanks
Ha! Yeah - can't ever please everyone! Having a separate audio track, as you suggest, would make it so folks could modify it themselves. From my side, there is no winning. I have videos with music: folks complain. I make videos without music: folks complain.
I like the chassis but the cheap way they did the rear portal with link style lockouts ruins it for me. I know it's for optional rear steer but man it looks very 2007ish.
The rear element portal axle isn’t good unless you do rear wheel steer. Trying to get it to drive straight is really hard and it wouldn’t have been hard for them to make an axle with fixed portal boxes. And the c-hubs will strip out and rotate on the axle tube. Element straight axles already had that problem but the portals exaggerate the problem. It’s over priced too.
I have found getting the rear tires aligned correctly has been a little difficult. But, I am curious what effect some toe changes would have on performance...
This new release is just a ploy to keep their name in the conversation while they design something that will be comparable to whatever competitive current options are available at that time. ......😊 Or ....this could be all there is.. hmmmm

Looking good I like the color way 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
My son picked the color combo.
Really good looking paint job. Truck runs well also!
Thanks 👍
I am happy with it for now!
That's what I thought at first look to! :)
Looks good. Crazy somebody actually messed up the geometry of the rear axle.
The good news - they make it so you can do the geometry on the rear however you want. Some guidance in the manual would have been nice - but some tweaks after this video have made a big difference.
That drive shaft you can try a spring in the shaft to push on the inner shaft to keep it in place
Ooohhh. That is a really smart idea.
The body mount system is cool
Thanks! I designed it!
Lookin Great Brother!!
Thanks!

@@Heroemania-rc Thank you! Good luck with your build!
I like that rear body mount.
Thanks!
High-Five your son for me! Paint is dope.
:)
Will do!
Great run,I would say it would catch there quite a bit,maybe as you change the angle may help that,thanks for the video Troy!!!!
Thanks Thomas!

Make a Vs redcat fusion with same tires!
Fun idea!
Put springs inside the drive line to keep it from falling out... That's how I fixed my element drivelines when I was having same problem
Awesome suggestion! Thanks!
I like your build and it looks good! How was the side hilling?
Truck has been great. All of the weight is down low, so it does great.

Did a great job.
Thank you!
Gear mesh sounds really tight
I agree - checked it multiple times, doesn't seem tight.
I actually wonder if it is a mesh somewhere else in the trans that is causing it.
Love the video! How does the comp Fox rate against a vrd carbon/ stance and SCX10 pro In ur opinion?
From what I have seen, the VRD Carbon appears to be the winner in that comparison.
Thinking of buying one?
@ yup I want a comp Fox real bad. I love all your videos , specially the comparison videos. There’s not a lot of running videos on the comp Fox. Ur video is by far the best. Keep up the great work! Thanks
@@ryancrandall4543 Get the VRD.
Maybe someday, the music in videos will be on a separate track, one that we can turn off. It would instantly improve darn near everything.
Ha! Yeah - can't ever please everyone!

I get that...but if you want rear steer, it is awesome!
Using the same body, but full body
Fun!

Element never made a rear portable axle literally both front axles with a lockout on it....super disappointing
it does look cool mate seems to perform well in action
*🦘Au🦘💯full view always📺thumbs up👍happy halloween😎*

Questions only TA knows!
8:04 you are really exposing the driveshaft and it’s not a very good pinion angle.
You are correct!
It has been fixed by shortening the lower links and re-clocking the portals.
Love ae for the racing side of things, but they a major disappointment w their crawlers. This is like comp build from 5 years ago 😅 👎💩
I'm happy with the performance! I look forward to tuning on it some more and seeing what happens.
