- I take the Element RC TrailRunner IFS truck out on the trails. This IFS equipped RTR comes with everything you need to get going on the trail, plus a list of bonus parts to really make this truck your own. If you want a unique IFS trail truck, there's no better place to start than right here.

I shoot all my videos on the Sony a6500 in 4K, with Sigma 16mm, 19mm & 30mm and 55-210mm f1.4 lenses and the Zhiyun Crane V2.
Nice! Love the vid, the music actually was super zen for a quick afternoon coffee break from work to watch some tiny truck. As you mentioned in your unboxing though... what a miss to not make the inner fenders part of the kit on this thing! Your production quality/capture is boss but the truck lets you down when you can see through it!
I guess Axial didn't do fenders until the 10.3 here so I can give element a pass, and they do offer them as optional parts, but would just be nice to see it g2g from factory.
Glad you enjoyed it! Couldn't agree more!
Wow... this is another level, serious filming, and editing skills here, GJ as always. They definitely should have added inner fenders to this rig.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video! That rig needs some inner fenders! Always enjoy your content!
It does! I've got some other plans in mind for this chassis, but not to worry, good stuff happening soon!
Good looking platform to start from. Great photography, love the mallard at the end.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the video, but this truck seems so lacking to me, mainly on the scale image of it.
I agree. Great video but definitely a truck im gonna pass on. I like those trails though.
Don't stop short of getting this just because of the body. If anything, consider the builder's kit and IFS and put another body on it! That's my plan!
Do consider there are already a number of [3D printed] parts coming out - Knight Customs for example - to help it look more scale realistic as a Toyota 4Runner...
Scale Builder's Guild Well at least we know it will end up turning out pretty neat as usual with your builds.
@@scalebuildersguild maybe when they put the hard plastics in the damn kit!!!!
TRD skid plate is a sick touch. Appreciate the genuine time you take to inform. Craftsman builders know the time that goes into things so they usually appreciate others craftsmanship because the time is of value. Great run and don’t be weird because I think highly of you....should be a respected word of honesty.👍
Thanks very much for the kind words!
Your running vids..... THE BEST! They're made with such attention and passion... They're great! Keep it up and also thanks for the useful information you always give us to help us out!
Thanks, will do!
Finally a running video! Enjoy those much more than building/how-to videos.
Glad you like them!
God damn I love some trip hop and tiny trucks.
I think this is the best body if they make for the element. And it's cool that they if they used independent front suspension cuz I'm real life that car has an independent front suspension.
Looking good Matt. I cant wait to see what you do with this thing. So much potential for scale upgrades on that truck.
You and me both!
Love the TRD plate you put on the front! Just built my element IFS system the other day and I'm looking forward to installing it
Right on!
Great video, but the body without clear windows and seeming to be pretty floppy isn't doing it for me. I was really excited for this truck release too.
SnowTrails they are clear but the stickers are fogged to not see the electronics or something smh
@@matthewrustia4874 I'd rather have clear, it looks cheap to me.
So remove the decals, they made it pretty easy to do so.
@@scalebuildersguild so I guess I will.
SnowTrails not my truck. Tell Element
It reminds me of my 87 ifs Toyota
Rather nice to get outside, especially with your new trail rig, and I add, benchmark rc filming right here, thank you, do hope Element RC reaches out to you for their new 2021 promotion video 😁👍
Cool, thanks!
love the trd bash plate
What tires you running? Are they 1.9 4.19 Wrangler MT/R from RC4wd?
That they are: bit.ly/3gIQP3E
Scale Builder's Guild awesome!! I have set I didn’t use on my k5 they are going on here looks perfect! Thanks for sharing always enjoy your content.
Great video man that rig looks so sweet can't wait
to add it to my arsenal very nice happy bashing bud.
coming from a Toyota guy, this body is just hideous
Check out Night Customs I think they do some parts that make it look much more like a 4 runner
Well, it is not a Toyota, it was inspired by! they don't do licensed bodies to keep the cost low and be more affordable.
@@jeanpmagnanig well you need to put the money into the body either way so i would rather just get a better one out of the box.
I’d run the shit out of that body while I finish a dope hard body
New definition of Body Rub right there. LOL... Looks great, as usual... Thanks for sharing.
Great vid Matt, only complaint was it was to short. music, edit and all was on point and very enjoyable way to unwind after work
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video!
I would really love a voice over commentary on a running video.
It can be a separate video but using the same clips . Explain the pros and cons of the components used on the truck. Just an idea I know those videos can take a while to edit
Since this isn't a dedicated rock crawler, the commentary would be pretty pedestrian. I have separate videos that review the truck and the IFS, consider watching those!
@@scalebuildersguild I know I watch all your videos! Lol
That's fine just something else I wanted to see
how long can you make the wheelbase with ifs i have a 13 inch wheebse silverado proline body for revo 3.3 tmaxx. 3430part#. fits my gen 8 chassis perfect at full strecth. but i want ifs. will it be possible to ifs convert gen 8. or can i buy this new truck with the link upgrade id hate to spend 400 bucks on a chassis i cant use. or have to go above and beyond to fit. i am obsessed with this truck and i dont want my dreams crushed and wallet. i may try ifsing a gen 8.
You can print an adapter to make this work on an Axial SCX10II, it won't fit without a lot of engineering on a Gen8. Nearly any truck can be adapted in terms of a longer wheelbase. At 12.3" stock, just cut yourself some longer links to make up the .7" you're missing. Not difficult at all.
@@scalebuildersguild awsome ok sweet appreciate the feed back i will look into doing so. love the content and thank you.
While this is a nice video in its own right, I think its biggest achievement is to highlight the massive difference between what is a pretty nice RTR and any one of your bespoke scale creations.
Really looking forward to seeing what you create with this platform.
Well said! I've got some grand plans for this one!
If was gonna go IFS would just fit shorter Stampede A-arms to my Emaxx with locked diffs and appropriate tires its better off road than you'd think! Plus the older ones are 13" wheelbase with lots af body options! Think Traxxas missed on a very cheap trail truck there!😁👍
Wow! It did way better than i thought it would. But maybe you just drove it like a boss!
Yet another car i would get but.. 💰not enough.. 💰.. but the inner fenders are something it needs..
I love the truck it looks so good
great video, had one of these on pre-order but got a VS 410 Pro instead, now I don't want anything else, lol
I see a duck...
Great running video.
Thanks 👍
It's pretty cool to see IFS work. Nice video and lazy music I like very much. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much!
Awesome! Love me some yotas
I keep coming back to this video for the song and how well you do on filming this truck lol I got one of ur stickers on my truck. Keep up the good work
I appreciate it!
Simply amazing video footage Matt 💪🏾💯🚀🔥... definitely see some inner fender wells in the future!
That's the plan! And thanks for watching man!
0:42 wow, that IFS has zero flex. So realistic. Lol.
Add some weight to the truck and it'll flex just fine. ;)
Scale Builder's Guild yeah I was seeing later it was baby flexing. Looks great. Needs some fenders and headlights... maybe a steam engine to symbolize how Toyota is so far is the past never updating things lol jk
Good Times:) I hiked a couple of miles this morning!
Good stuff! Feels good to be out in the nature!
Great edit and trail run ! Enjoyed the ride
what is the music you used I'm interested in adding it to my playlist on both my phone and my youtube listening playlist
I keep hearing about lower performance of IFS, but as an inexperienced scaler, what are they? It seems there would also be some advantages to IFS as well. It is definitely smoother over bumps at any kind of speed.
I'd say the biggest disadvantage is clearance.
Trail video yeeessssss!!!
I know, it's been awhile!
Amazing video! I love the cinema quality these running videos have!
Thank you very much!
Your videography is superb, but this kit is seriously lacking some scale details... Please give this Element the SBG touch. This kit could be amazing with your work.
It'll happen, not to worry!
I really like the ifs and thought I'd bite the bullet and went through with the straight axle conversion. Well I support AE to the fullest my e buggy is AE powered by Tekin. But in the conversion you definitely need patience. And buy 2 packs of the aluminum pivot balls not one pack as they say. The straight axle makes the trailrunner a beast. I can out crawl on some climbs a trx4 on some crawls mind you. I'd say the Ifs is nice but the straight axle give you way more clearance.
also as long as im talking to you i might as well ask for a modds list (what is your trd front skid plate? and also i believe i saw a rear rc sticker on the back bumper
Great social distancing video! Very safe, indeed.
Yes indeed! I was definitely no closer than 20 feet to those ducks.
Scale Builder's Guild that last scene did quack me up! *terrible but I typed it anyway*
Perfect wheel choice as well!
Glad you think so!
I have one of these on it's way to me. It's my first crawler and I cant wait. Def gonna do inner fenders on it tho and hopefully an interior. Love ur vids man.
Right on!
Your running videos are amazing. Relaxing to watch. 🤙🏼🍺
Glad you like them!
I’m still watching the TRX4 Sport running video from your budget buildoff last year. My absolute favorite.
Typical Matt HIGH QUALITY Video!!! 👌👏👏👏👏👏👏
I like the Rig. DON'T like the opaque Windows and lack of inner Wheelwells - but I'm sure you're not done with it yet!! 😎
.... Didn't seem noticeably less capable than a Straight Axle Rig. Maybe I'm not as exacting.
I think it's got the makings of something GOOD!!
Please stay SAFE! 😷

Can you fit 4.75" OD tires under the stock body?
I doubt it, these are 4.19's and it's definitely full tuck.
not sure what happened to wheels and tires, but i assume that tires were poorly fit to rims which is caausing that woble. Anyway, nice video. One question, how much are GYW tires better than stock GT?
Eliminating wobble is nearly impossible at this scale. You'd have to seat your foams absolutely perfectly. Plus, when the footage is slowed, it really accentuates the movement. These tires are my preference for most trucks. I like the looks, coupled with performance.
The scale builders guild military build of .what is it about and thanks for great videos I love them me and all my friend subscribed
Thanks for the Awesome video I'm definitely intrigued by this vehicle
Thanks for watching!
😎👍
the worse thing about that shell isn't the shape its that it isn't backed with black :D
And it severely needs a rear bumper
Surefire way to ruin a white paint job.
@@scalebuildersguild ok silver then black, i been blacking out shells since i watched a video where you told us to black out shells! i think it was you anyhow :)
Cool video man thanks. Question who makes the front skid plate? Trd thanks man
Knight Customs sir, buy it here to print at home: www.myminifactory.com/users/Knight_Customs/collection/element-rc-trail-runner-parts
That's a duck man, that's a duck;)
Nice truck! Defiantly needs inner guards...
Awesome truck, but I can see issues with that ifs, as much as I want one, theres so much area lost in that ifs, I'm hoping somebody comes out with a high clearance kower A arms
I wouldn't say that IFS in this case is ever performance first.
Is the IFS better than a straight axle? Performance wise.
Nope!
Haha. That was short and sweet.
Great video! Looks really good with the 1.55 wheels/tires. Do you think it would benefit on the trail from going to a 1.9 setup?
This is a 1.9 setup! Just a short 4.19” OD.
Scale Builder's Guild I didnt even notice you changed the setup! 🤦🏼♂️ 😂 What tire were you running?
What a Bitchen Truck! Thanx Matt made my decision easy!
Are those the 1.55 MTRs or the 1.9MTRs?
1.9's.
Looks great , may i ask why you took Harley resigns of your Teeshirt?
Weird, looks like it was deleted by mistake. I'll get it back up there shortly.
Looks like it performed really well. :-)
Are those tires 1.55's or 1.7's
On there for this run, 1.9’s. Stocks are 1.55.
Well done sir! Creative types need a kit with clear body set. I would've already had my order in.
Thanks! 👍
Nice crawl, Matt!
Thanks 👍
I think Ifs looks better
When does this start shipping?
Great video Matt!!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching BT!
Great shots man
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice video.
IFS better than the standard axle?
Not better, different! Certainly more accurate to most modern day trucks too!
Good video! But not really liking the body with the cheap looking light decals and really does need the under fenders. Thanks..
Fair enough!
So how do you like it now that you have had some time with it? Thinking of ordering one.
My opinion from the review still stands. I'll be putting a hard body on it for sure.
@@scalebuildersguild awesome news :) I nearly bought it from your review to start. And I just want options to add new bodys styles to my scale collection. Cheers buddy keep up the amazing work. Can't wait to see more with it :)
I thought the Mallard was a decoy at first. lol
Liked the video but hate the car much be the worst attempt at a sce body of all time I have the sendero it's awesome but would never but this at all
Cool Vid you made 👍🙂
Beautiful 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you 🙌
How do I get some of your stickers
New ones are being printed shortly.
Another great vid man 🤘 although not a fan of IFS or the element but you have some great shots man keep up the good work
I appreciate that!
Is it just me or is the TRD on the front plate too big
What does TRD stand for??
Toyota Racing Development.
@@scalebuildersguild Thanks!, thought is was something else though😂.
What is the top speed?
If you want to know top speed of a trail truck, you're in the wrong market. ;) At best, on 2S I would guess 6mph.
Scale Builder's Guild thanks man
The thing is just ugly. You cant see through the windows...but you can see straight though the rest of the body. I’m always glad to see your videos though 👍🏼. I’m sure you will make this into something sweet. Glad you finally got to go outside!
this footage is gorgeous, extremely relaxing to watch and the track just really set it off...btw what song is this? 😅😅😅
All my music comes from Epidemic Music.
Can we get someone to film Matt filming his rigs? Dude is awesome at this. Great video Matt. Once again. #JOSHSMELLS
Funny you should mention that, I was going to shoot a tutorial on how to shoot tiny trucks. Any interest?
@@scalebuildersguild Yes, that would be great!
Absolutely Matt. I would like to learn as much as possible.
@@scalebuildersguild I'd watch that. I like making tiny truck videos, but mine are pretty mediocre. I know investing in better camera gear would help, but for now, I'm focused on making the best videos I can, with what I have.
Yep, like everyone is saying, great video...but that truck is rather boring. Should come at least with inner fenders and a CLEAR body!
I can't see why it should be clear on an RTR, but agree on the inner fenders!
I'd like to have the choice of my own color without having to buy an additional body...just elcheepo I guess.
Extremely well-made video! really nice editing! Not super fond of the truck though.
Thank you very much!
Looks good up front...
Back end looks bigger than a Kardashians ego! I still prefer you over josh tho!
You and the rest of the world! ;)
Great video, great RTR rig by Element, but the body is awful and looks cheap.
Who all liked before it began?
This guy!
I would have bought that in a heart beat if it was a licensed body from Toyota and had inner fenders. Looks a little bit on the toyish side, not worth the price.
I rarely buy any RC for the body it comes with, but that's just me.
Scale Builder's Guild I agree foolish to buy an rc because of the body
I’m not one to waste a body I just bought off a ready to run, but that’s just me. I agree with half of what your saying, if that came as a kit roller, then I would be ok with it. Still a fan of your channel ❤️.
oof ugliest lexan in the past 5 years. 0 effort went into that. jesus h christ. this makes tamiya lexan a work of art
This rig is so ugly nothing can help it. Ugh. Where is Josh and his talk of not scale enough. The proportions aren’t right. I have a 4Runner so I should know. Yuck.
Good thing it's not a licensed 4Runner then. They can only do so much before getting sued.
