So interesting in how the gearing can change the characteristics in climbing! Thank you for sharing!

[@BigSungHobbies]

It makes a difference on climbs. The front wheels work harder to pull up, while the slower wheel speed of rear does not try to pull you back.

[@johndavid5627]

my trailrunner seems slow compared to my gatekeepper must be the gearing?

[@BigSungHobbies]

Gatekeeper/Ecto is definitely seems to be higher geared. I haven't checked the exact specs, but I plan to go to smaller pinion on my Ecto to help with slow crawl.

1 QUESTION HOW DOES EFFECT THE LONGEVITY OF THE VEHICLE,READ A LOT ON THE FORMS ABOUT THIS UPGRADE?BESIDES THAT GREAT VIDEO🤜🤛

[@BigSungHobbies]

That's a great question, and something you will need to seriously consider before making the changes. If you are mainly doing trail riding, then just keep it at stock 5.7% OD. There is no reason to move upto 11.83% and risk higher potential longevity issues. I mainly use it for rock climbing with occasional trail riding, so for me it is an essential upgrade. That being said, I don't bash my rigs either. On my main rig I was on 11.83% OD for quite while and I have put tons of miles on it. I recently swapped the gears for 25% OD. While swapping out to 25% OD, I did not notice any extra wear and tear on the gears. Considering that Element RC supplied with optional 11.83% option with plastic gear, I feel pretty confident, it won't be much an issue. Now anything greater than 11.83% would be another story.

@@BigSungHobbies great information brother,and that's why I mess with you brother,your knowledge is always on point,and DETAILED and your not a RC reviewer who sounds smuggy bc you have knowledge,you always give back with your information,so thank you my friend!

[@BigSungHobbies]

@@josecanseca8979 Thanks for the kind words, and you are welcome RC brother!

[@danielsonhobbies]

@@BigSungHobbies Is there any noticeable differences between 12% and 25% overdrive?

[@BigSungHobbies]

@@danielsonhobbies It really depends on what kind of terrain you plan to drive. Keep in mind that the main use of my Gspeed Element is Crawling. For crawling, I would highly recommend it. It gives you that extra grab on the front tires, and you have seen the terrain that I am crawling at. Going from 11.83% to ~25% makes a huge difference. But if you plan to use it as a mixed environment where you are trailing and crawling, then I would recommend 11.83% or even 5.7% if you trail most of the time with occasional crawling.

[@sgtlt]

Have you done anything to the front shocks to give it better articulation in the front, they look so stiff from the factory

[@BigSungHobbies]

I have not done anything to the front shocks. IFS system weighs more so they compensated with stiffer springs. It might be worth it to see if we can make it a bit softer, but I have not yet done so.
