Element builds on their original Enduro Sendero with a whole new truck! The Sendero SE has very few carry-overs from the original, yet remains compatible! A new transmission, axles, body, tires, wheels, and radio make this a compelling budget option. I was surprised by the amount of stuff they packed into the price, and I think you will be too.

I applaud this marketing by Element. Anything that helps promote the hobby and gets more people interested is a fantastic idea. Yeah, those of us knee deep into the hobby can nitpick but overall, this is a great set up on a budget. Also leaves options for down the road for upgrades that appear on the surface to again be geared toward someone new to the hobby.

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

Agreed!

@crazyace2116 Год назад

Now we need a budget shoot out, Element Enduro Senduro Sport Edition, Traxxas TRX4 Sport and Axial SCX10-3 Base Camp.

@dezfan Год назад

Great base for a custom build. Love the transmission and the SOA. At $299.00, homerun! 😎

"I am not a fan of this tire tread pattern" - How DARE you! I love the pattern regardless of how functional it is! The new Enduro12 has "normal" tires, so I hope you are happy, sir!

@Andy_Yates Год назад

I haven't been excited by too many new releases lately, but this looks like a cool update for Element. I'm excited to see how they update the other offerings and if there will be a new builders kit based on the new transmission and axles. I really appreciate the backward compatibility for any of us that want to update our Element based rigs

@AlvarezAzel Год назад

This looks awesome, I already own 3 element trucks and looking at this I may end up with 4. Element have quickly become my favourite brand in RC.

@SirDevious1 Год назад

I love that a company is focusing on getting more people involved in the hobby by offering a capable rig at a very reasonable price. Aside from wheels and tires and maybe even a set of metal links, she looks like a solid performer straight from the box. I dig it. :)

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

Definitely!

@BlindGuyRc Год назад

Yepp. I think element really hit a mark here. I think there is even room for a comp build. Axles look great, and I like that transmission. I will always love axial. But element is really becoming the a leader. I like it. Great video.

@stevestandfell8845 Год назад

Use WD-40 to get adhesive off. It works and doesn’t damage anything. It also works pretty good to get paint off of your Automobile when you get paint from someone else’s car when you get those accidents from people who bump their doors into your car in a parking lot.

@liamRC5487 Год назад

I use self adhesive felt to line inside my body shells. It stops all the rattling and absorbs most of the noises.

No shame in bushings, it's not a race truck. I really dig releases like this. Foot in the door to crawlers with room for upgrades or a buddy truck.

@KearSki Год назад

Amazing. Affordable. Please tell them to offer the IFS kits again. I need two of them for my M12B project. I don't even care about the bumpsteer. Also this thing looks pretty amazing, reminds me a lot of what the SCX 10.2 was like originally. Cheap, cheerful and excessively modifiable. Edit : Four link front n' rear? Neat! Also you didn't mention the brake disks!

@jacobwright4568 Год назад

My brother just got one tonight. I’ve been working on it doing a few little free mods including the 6% overdrive I had from my Ecto and I will say. I love the new transmission 100%. Kinda wish it was the same in the Ecto. From what I noticed they left a lot of room in the transmission for other options so hopefully good things to come!!

@MauGino Год назад

I think it's a good price point to enter the hobby. The prices have slowly creeped up over the last few years even for what was considered beginner / entry level crawlers. I like the new one piece body and I don't mind the narrow tires, the tread ... maybe it'll grow on me. It's good that they kept it compatible with many of the other parts they offer which is a good platform to build up. This may be the kit that gets me into the crawling scene.

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

Welcome to crawling!

@Rokstardad82 Год назад

Awesome video. Seeing that price point along with clear windows and inner fenders, they did their research 👍. Also the tires remind me (from a distance) of the ripsaws from axial back in the day

@goreyboggs Год назад

First TRX4M knocks out SCX24, Now Sendero SE is the Basecamp killer! Almost 24% cheaper. What will axial do next, Different body on scx10ii? lol Oh wait they just did another deadbolt. Nice review!

@jonathanfletcher97 Год назад

Ehhhh “Basecamp killer?” I’ll give it to them in the new transmission; anything Team Associated builds in terms of transmissions are always top notch. But the Basecamps seems like a whole heck of a lot more truck for just $90 more.

@daveTV Год назад

Matt, the injection-molded body parts and grill from the original Sendero are 100% compatible with this body. So, if someone wanted that extra detail on the body, the plastics can be purchased separately and installed.

Good tip, thanks!

@mgscheue Год назад

Great deal. I really like the Enduro platform.

@gabrielgrigonis9840 Год назад

This was great. The only thing that I could think that would make this better is if they ran it driving backwards.

@DrGorillafist Год назад

Like that they didn't go with portal axles. Looking forward to seeing how you make this one your own!

@frankie2499 Год назад

The gen8 is still a better choice for a first rig because it is soooooo adjustable...but I'm still getting one because it's new and awesome!

@aegixxer1 Год назад

I think Element did a great job on evolving the platform. You can guarantee this is just the first offering. I have no doubts we'll see models with better links and metal shock bodies. Hopefully a builders kit as well. I was a little disappointed that they didn't go portal but overall its a great new offering that looks to be a performer.

@grtych Год назад

These axles need to be the basis of the Builders Kit 3.

@Ayrton_Groesbeck Год назад

I wish Element still sold the ifs conversion kit

@KingMrBigE Год назад

Just picked up another Gen8 for $254 on sale from Redcat... I personally still think its likely the best crawler deal considering all the features it has.

Servo on axle from the factory, love to see it. I’m glad element isn’t afraid to get away from the scale aspect. But I think they’re long overdue for some portal axles. Make it happen element.

Thanks Matt. I like the Element Enduro platform. I had a reversed Stealth X with a forward mounted motor set up at Nationals, don't remember if I showed it to you. I did show it to John. 🤣This skid and transmission set up looks great. I would like to put it in my old Trailwalker. Also like the wheels, not bad for plastic and I'm a wheel snob! Thanks again for the review.

@wolfiecrawlsrc58 Год назад

I have the original sendero, but I’m definitely going to check this one out, I’m thinking the light weight might make it quite good to give it a little more speed, up till now I have only driven a crawler like it was borrowed and I’m being watched by the owner. 😂

@MarcoRCArena Год назад

@Jbzy3000 Год назад

I like this. I hate servicing bearings. Pack some marine grease and forget about it. Think this is my next purchase. Just got the knight runner and looking to upgrade my fleet. Thinking of giving one or two of my trucks away to a couple kids in the neighborhood. They always come out when I run my older trucks. Lol gives me a reason to upgrade a Scx10.

@SnarkyRC Год назад

Brilliant looking truck. The tread pattern on the tires is rather goofy. Proline Interco TrXus tires would look good on this truck. Nothing wrong with bushings in a trail truck. I'll probably pick one of these up in the future.

@longtalltexanrc3358 Год назад

I think Element did a spectacular job on this truck. For a base model rig, it’s got enough goods and design thought into it to make it a winner. Everyone wants to fix up their trucks, so why spend more? I feel this will be the truck I point people to when they are looking for a budget rig.

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

@patrikmoller3643 Год назад

It looks like a nice new truck with good solutions to keep the price down but still deliver a decent experience for new guys. If I had the money I'd consider it just to have one to lend to friends

@toxiczman Год назад

element killed it for its price. links are an easy and fairly cheap upgrade and the bushings are a win in my book. something ive wanted for a rig used in water and mud for a while now. built in soa is another win, seen too many people want to do that on the original. tires are another cheap upgrade and since they dont glue their wheels its cheap to get a great set of prolines. looks like ive got a new beginner rig to recommend to people

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

Agreed! I'm totally adding this to my beginner rig list to recommend. Thanks for watching!

@ridgerc5976 Год назад

They should offer it as a roller cause all those electronics are going in the spare parts bin. 😁

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

@jonathanfletcher97 Год назад

That transmission looks incredible; and I’m sure it is since it’s from the lovely people over at Team Associated. However, I can see people outgrowing this rig relatively quickly. For $90 more you get a Basecamp, which in my opinion anyway, is a whole heck of a lot more truck out to the box.

@robgoffroad Год назад

Curious why you say the Base Camp is a lot more truck? I ask because I'm considering it (or this new Sendero) as a Sportsman Class build.

@aegixxer1 Год назад

Not sure how you see the Basecamp as a better truck.

@@mitsuman5555 I'd agree when, at least in my case, I'd toss the stock electronics and replace it with a Fusion Pro.

@WickedRC Год назад

@@robgoffroad it’s not any better of a truck, not sure why this has so many likes. The only downside I see on the senduro is the plastic links, but those can easily be replaced. I think it will be a better performer than the basecamp. Comes stock with servo on axle and foward mounted motor. Get get a smaller battery and mount it up front, And it’ll do anything if not more than the basecamp.

@HobbyPerfeXion Год назад

I have to disagree with your comment on bushing wear. Back when I was into RC years ago, bushings were the norm and bearings were a very expensive upgrade. As such, most people would stay on bushings. Running in dirty, dusty scenarios grinds those brass bushings down in a hurry and before long you've got a lot of sloppy fittings. Gearbox and such so long as it's sealed, I agree - bushings will last quite a while. But on the axles or anywhere that they're exposed to the elements, they will wear pretty quickly if you subject the vehicle to regular use. That said, I get it - making an entry level vehicle means cutting corners and not giving bells & whistles. So good on them for that...but for me, a bearing kit would be in order pretty quickly. Thanks for the review!

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

Absolutely, I totally get it. I think if you're comparing one to the other, for the average consumer, the bushings will still last longer than the bearings. Thanks for watching!

@forrestcrabbe Год назад

These is a lot here I like and nothing to hate. Looks like a great first truck! It even has some opportunities to get into modding, CMS conversion, making your own metal links. It reminds me of the SCX10 Honcho that got me into crawlers 10 years ago, modded the hell out of that thing. The only thing I don’t get is why the battery isn’t further forward.

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

I agree... it's a great first truck!

@CoolHandLukeZ Год назад

Nice release from Element here. I picked up the Sendero HD for my first 1:10 scale and have been loving it. Was able to find an interior that fit (with the Bruiser driver) and have had fun making it my own with accessories in the utility bed. Going with a hunting theme and considering doing a camo paint job to it....just not sure if it's better to try and remove the factory paint or just spray paint the outside.

@CasperRc81 Год назад

So with the bigger spring shock cups maybe you can run it as a dual rate with the larger spring outside of the pen portion. I’m crushing 😍 hard on this rig. I’ve always been a fan of associated this is great look for the body bumpers wheels and thank God for skinny tires those wheels look great.

Excellent review as always. I think the truck looks really great. Sometimes I think it’s quit satisfying to have a simple basic truck. Interesting listening to people’s thoughts on bushings, personally I think they will be better than bearings because they do not rust and seize up.

@donniehunter309 Год назад

Love it, backwards compatible is a great thing. But with the SOA being there I wish they had an Ekto or other narrow "performance crawling" body for those that want to modify the base in that direction instead of scale without having to re-body. There aren't a lot of narrow or tapered Cliffhanger style bodies available for the 12.8 wheelbase, and bodies aren't inexpensive.

If i was mine I think I would have replaced the bushings with bearings, replaced the tires and moved the servo to the frame and make new links myself. I bet that would have lasted a long time.

@NaturallyRC Год назад

Great review, Matt. Lots of interesting Associated design decisions to consider. I am not a fan of that tread pattern either. LOL. Seems to me function should go before aesthetics, on something as important as gripping the ground so you don't, say, roll thirty feet down a slope into the creek. Other than that, lots of room for debate.

@BlueDually4x4 Год назад

While the servo on axle does hurt it in the scale department, it allows for better steering control and no bump steer. And I still am cool with body posts, as they are straightforward and work. There is a lot to like about the truck though it is so strange to hear bushings in anything other than a Tamiya. Great review and it looks like it handles really well.

@enclavevideo Год назад

Servo on Axle is also a cheap way for them to add weight below the springs

@daveTV Год назад

Like Matt said though, the advantage to having bushings that don't rust, seize, or fail over a the tiny bit less rolling resistance bearings offer is a no-brainer. I'd take bushings any day. Especially if I plan on running through water, mud, or sand. The bushings will far out live bearings with much less maintenance. Maintenance that we know people just getting into the hobby won't do or just don't want to hassle with.
