So i was thinking of picking one of these up

Are they a good first crawler?

I have the enduro builder kit 2 and it is fantastic. Fun build and drives well.

I've driven with guys with senderos and they work really good out of the box. Better than my Redcat Gen8

I have the Element Enduro Knightrunner, which is essentially the same chassis with an unlicensed Toyota Tacoma body (there are no Toyota or Tacoma badges anywhere). The Knightrunner was a great trail runner out of the box, and I made it even better when I replaced the factory motor and ESC with a Hobbywing Fusion 1800kv system.

I admit I love my Element Crawlers. I have the Sendero HD, The Trail Runner, and the Ecto. I really like them all. I was thinking about picking up the new SE Sendero just because it would be another fun one to build up over time. They have all performed well straight out of the box. I have to be to be honest, I don't think you can do better for the price.

I was also really considering the trx4 sport kit. I have servos and receiver and such and it would be good rig to drop a hw quikrun system in.

TRX Sport is a great rig too from what I've seen. Don't personally have one but I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Yea they have lots of aftermarket support and not to mention the amount of upgrades traxxas makes for em there selves.

I’ve built the TRX4 Sport kit and also the Enduro Builder Kit 2.

The TRX is pretty good, but the Enduro is nicer. Higher quality materials across the board. Way better shocks and transmission.

The shifting transmission and licking diffs in the trx4 are very appealing to me tho

Super handy. Plus just the cool factor of being able to do it remotely

Been looking at them too. Especially the Knightrunner. Never gave much thought to crawling and going slower. Always focused on making things faster and crash proof. Lol.

Just got the Trx-4m defender. Loving it. But, it may be a scale/trail build. The next may be a true crawler. Not sure which way to go.

The TRX sport kit you mentioned doesn’t have either of those things.

I know but they are easy to add on. You can buy the whole kit for like 100 bucks I believe. Or buy all of it on jennys rc for half off pretty much.

Yea I got 2 scx24s myself but I kinda don't like em anymore lol. It's funner to run em stock with maby like a better servo and nice wheels and tires but that about it. I got them both built to the max and they aint even fun anymore. I'll have to give the trx4m a try.
