Traxxas TRX-4 kit vs Element RC kit Shootout 

You should use gates to score these things and others. That is the point really free driving the same line won’t always produce the same line.

Good review. They look to be pretty equally matched with each having different advantages over the other. As a life long Team Associated fan (since 1984) I’m a bit biased toward the Enduro. But I think the TRX4 is one of the beat Crawlers in the game! Who’s the winner? We are!

I think some people must have started the video, went afk for 13 minutes came back and just commented "lol trx wins" because clearly the Element edged it out on a few occassions. People put way too much faith into portal axles. They're both great trucks, and really "the best" rig is gonna be the one you drive and like the best, and No I don't own an Element.

lol. I love my Enduro kit. With weighted wheels and a 2200mah battery strapped over the front axle (where the servo winch would normally go), it crawls up tons of things. I also put my shocks into droop which allows the wheels to settle over obstacles faster. Great little rig!

Actually just finished my element kit, not at all impressed, the only thing this truck has going for it is the overdrive options, but the materials are cheap plastic, I have a TRX 4, Gen 8, Gen 7, Injora crap scx10 clone, element and others. I would compare the element closer to my austar and Gen 7. And the trx4 with the Gen 8. Element is overpriced at 240.00 I bought my Gen 8 Pak chassis for 158.00 way better

Ok. I just watched your video on the element where a couple minutes in the video turned over to the actual outdoor running by the paint shop for a couple minutes before switching back over to you inside where the reviews take place. My question is why don't you have / use a widely known control vehicle to simply run the rocks or trail areas along with each review so we can get an idea of how each new or updated truck performs compared to one we already have knowledge of in comparison. Keeping the control truck the same through every review. Thanks. Tom

That metallic green looks amazing. How did you do the matte black on the bed?

Just finished a Sport kit and will build the 10 II Raw Kit next. Tried and true. I figure the Sendero needs some more time to provero itselfero.

Your reviews and vs videos are the best, nobody really takes the time to put two rigs against each other like you guys do. Both of the trucks are so good, but since i am a tried and true AE fan i am biased against the Traxxas, but i admit it is a really really great truck. They really are very evenly matched, and I am really amazed at how capable they both are. Great Video..👍👍👍👍

Cool test an a really awesome spot! I'm jealous...

These spots look amazing to crawl, I need to find something similar around my area

In your opinion, who won the shootout?

Fart at 11:18 haha

I have one of each, Capra on order anxious to see how it will compare, I suspect it will dominate,time will tell though!

Francis. Conclusions? Think the TRX4 Sport should have had OD too. Then, it is more a comparison of with/without portals. Good move going with the Sendero body for the comparison. Currently in Sarlat-le-Canada, France on vacation...Lots of unusual rock strata here. Bill

If you swap the rear bumper mount to the front then turn it upside down it lifts it up heaps . Thats what I did on my sport

IMO they both did great but I feel the elemental looked more like a crawler where as the Traxxas sometimes looked like it just bashed its way through things.

Beautiful trucks, dude! Really nice! 😃

I really enjoy my Element Enduro. Haven't had the opportunity to drive a TRX4 yet though.

Was the Element all standard plastics or were any upgrades to the hard plastic?

Let's get it on!!

EnDuro SenDero!!! Chomping at that trx4 heals.... NC❤MOUNTAINS yard RC.AND MORE...... I believe you have the two!!Best ! Here .. . In the market place..RTR 3ch Element RC EnDuro . OR KIT, .. 280.. traxxas kit.. .

That Traxxas is dialed in, looks silky smooth compared to the Sendero. Sendero is no slouch, Associated is on their way.

Enduro all day although i still love the trx-4 sport

hi,,,what radio are you using for the trx 4 sport?

Do you recall what weight shock oil was in the Enduro?

They look awsome love the green man which one did you prefer that eduro wow performance for the money with the same electrics love it i have a ftx hi rock and am enjoying just got a hobbywing 1080 too

I just put od in my sport. It's awesome!

Just wondering... how are the shocks holding up? New to these "emulsion shocks" and I have to say I don't understand the concept.

Now I have decided... for crawling TRX4 Sport with overdrive ... for trails TRX4 Defender 👍😄

Pare are you in Las Vegas??

Let’s hear from u, who won the shootout? 😁

I just git the trx4 sport...i was surprised how fast it was compared 2 my gen 8....the throttle seems real sensitive..im practically doing wheelies of the start...is that normal lol

Now have both (well trx4 kit and element RTR). Not sure which is 'better'. Where one isn't as good the other is and vice versa (on same trails). Element is definitely lighter.

Trx4 sport still king! What about the lighter the better? Would they react the same? Like... same tires and foams but on plastic non weighted wheels... for the budget minded cheap people! Lol!

Great vid! Just got done with my Sport build (still a few upgrades to do, but isn't there always). But the Element kit is the next on the list. So best of both worlds! Side question: Thought the TRX had OD already? Or is this a different truck from the 7 upgrades vid?

I love your videos and tests and they really seem objective. I have bought and assembled a Traxxas TRX4 Sport Kit, following your electronic advice, settings and others and it is much better than my old Traxxas TRX4 Defender. Could you please give me the settings you use on your Hobbywing 1080 ESC for Traxxas TRX4 Sport? Thank you. You have one more follower from Spain.

All that lens flare during the action portion. Did Micheal Bay direct this?!

How do those vs410 bumpers work on the trx-4?

Hope to see video of trx4 g500

What are weighted wheels exactly?

can you link the bumpers used

Aw shucks! You get all the cool toys! ;- b (Oh, yeah! I'm FIRST!) ;- )

will you get the trx6?

Once again the trx4 rains supreme. Yes its more expensive. Get what you pay for.

Are those 2.2 tires
