  • In this video I go over my top 10 upgrades that really changed the way the Element RC Knightrunner performed. More ground clearence is a must with the IFS system, bigger and stickier tires plus more steering power are the big three.

    I picked up the shock mounts; worked out great! I have to say the shocks I got from them were less than impressive.
    Felt like sand in them 24/7 compared to the stock ones.
    I rebuilt them with Losi Green Slime and they still felt "gritty"
    Cant say I was a fan, too bad because they look like King Shocks in the blue on blue

    Being the knight runner isn’t much of a crawler …i decided to turn mine into a pre runner.. used element rear trailing arms and sway bar …
    Put a little better motor and geared up for speed….it’s a blast now! It does do ok at crawling as before but a bit taller tires did help.
    The way it performed reminds me of my losi baja rey! Just not as fast..😅

      I purchased the 3d print files from www.myminifactory.com and ordered them to be printed. In the description I have where I get my prints from. Now the scale accessories I got from Injora.com. Some items are a little too big for this truck so I would recommend getting the scale parts from RC4WD. store.rc4wd.com/
      Hope that helps my friend. 👍🏽

    Fun fact for ESC programming card ..surpass hobby one is cheaper and works exactly same way as stock reedy one🤟🤟👍👍

  • @barceloni1984
    @barceloni1984 Před rokem

    I have Trailrunner, same platform as knightrunner. The reedy program card helped a lot. Factory drag brake setting was too high for trailing, in my opinion. My favorite upgrade so far was the bowhouse steering rack and bell cranks. It got the steering more dialed in. No more bump steer, and a lot less slop. It also helped the ifs flex a little easier with the stiff springs it comes with. I think I paid about $45 for both parts. Definitely worth it for any element ifs truck. 👍👍

      @@Jbzy3000 I've never had any issues with my esc in my trailrunner. Had it about a year now, still stock electronics except for the servo. I do have a few rigs I drive, so this one doesn't have too many hard miles on it yet. I really like the sc480x esc. I'll let you know if I ever have any issues with it in the future.
