    Really not smitten with the shell on the Element Enduro but can’t decide what to replace it with.

      I had decided on the cab only Coyote shell (Which SMD assured me IS available,  but for some reason isn't listed on their website) but realised it's too short AND too narrow.

      Not what I had in mind ( not a Toyota and not 70's/80's) but I'm now thinking of getting this (def won'tbe that colour though)...

      More modern than I had in mind, but I won’t rule it out.  Thanks.

      Lol, just realised they are the same place. 🤦‍♂️
       

      Edit: and moments later realised they aren’t.

      Thanks. I thought I’d looked everywhere but haven’t checked either of those out 👍

      It’s a good thought and it has crossed my mind to get one. The Stout (Coyote) shell has been pretty robust so I presume the F150 would be too.
      It was the 324mm two piece version that made me think about cab-only.

      I’m hoping I’ll find a similarly equipped Toyota Hilux shell somewhere but so far it seems to be either a stick-on decal front grille/lights, or a full-on hard shell and not much choice in between.


      Silly really, but as the Toyopet Stout (Coyote) is a direct ancestor of the Toyota Hilux, it seemed appropriate somehow. 🤔

      @Jack ReacherToo much bloody choice. My addled old brain can’t cope with it. So MANY options but I can’t seem to find ( or decide) what I want.

      @tomrI’m thinking retro. Leaning towards a 70’s/80’s Hilux? Maybe cab only?

      But I’m a fussy bugger and want light buckets etc without paying RC4WD prices. 
      Whatever shell I get, I’m going to get bigger wheels. (Mine has 1.5 wheels fitted as stock) Am thinking of maybe getting a set of gmade steelies and some scale looking sticky tyres?

    Wanting to get a new crawler, but nothing taking my fancy, gonna have to wait for some new models to come out

      Didn’t build it myself but am impressed by my new Element. Only complaint is the ugly bodyshell…. but the kit doesn’t have one anyway.

    Has anyone else heard paypal is introducing charges for dormant accounts users must sign in before next week or face £9 per year charge. 

     

    How greedy are they.

      Not heard that. Will just have to keep buying RC parts...... “It’s to avoid the £9 charge love”
