I know I'm late to the party but I just got my 3rd Element Rig and it happens to be the Gatekeeper. Looking forward to getting it out on the trail and rocks. All the tips are awesome. Thank you. The body front screw removal trick is so handy.
Only issue I have with mine is there's no clearance for the steering knuckles even with some 8mm hex that I dremeled to make fit. I have associated brass hex adapters but I cant use them because they make the wheel even closer to the knuckles and the wheel grinds. Other than that I love it and I beat the crap out of mine and I haven't broke anything.
Does anyone know of a forum or have better instructions to that panhard spacer adjustment? And is it normal for the steering link to make contact to the diff on full compression?
At the upper connection point, you'll see 3 holes there, factory is mounted to middle. Mount it to the top to lower the frame. It shouldn't slam on the diff, but mine makes a little contact.
Hey John, I have two bullet chassis fully built drag cars. One is a fantom 3.5 turn and the other is a r1 works 13.5 car. I can send all the details. Neither of these cars have ever been used. I don’t have time to practice and want to sell these to build a competitive crawler. Would u or anyone you know have any interest in purchasing? I can send the details. All someone needs is a radio
Can you explain why there's a larger battery tray included. You just called it "one of these" seemingly avoiding the fact that there is a larger battery tray that apparently cant be used.
