We can see how it may take a bit of time if those parts are installed, but like I say “You can’t rush art!” So be it if it takes an extra minute to hit the trails, as long your rig looks good to you then rock it! Getting the Knightrunner ready for the trails takes no time at all without the scale tent and rack installed. The scale add on’s will make the Knightrunner pop in the scale world leading you down a worm hole of scaleness!Ī= outstanding/Best in class, B = Above Average, C =Average, D = Below Average, F = Horrific We do strongly recommend getting the extra scale parts from Knight Customs. The Scale details of the rig capture that of a 1:1 so well and translate over to better scale photos and film making.īroken parts: Other then some trail rash the Element RC Knightrunner is still in one piece!īest Mod: Power plant wise we think the Knightrunner is solid and does not require any help in that department out of the box. Now if trail running is what you are looking for, than the Element RC Knightrunner is for you! Slow crawling through a scale town or off-road park with the Knightrunner has a Zen like feeling. Being able to have one side of the rig compressed and not have the weight shift to the opposite side lets you pull some wicked lines. We found that the Knightrunner was very impressive in the tougher terrain, the IFS adds not only a scale appearance but performs well. The rig has a great center of gravity keeping it from being top heavy and making it perform just as good the lager tire rigs. After many runs and some serious abuse, the high-torque metal-gear 1320MG Reedy servo is a champ and still working great!Ĭrawling: Since the Knightrunner is a “tiny tire truck” 1.55, the ideal crawling atmosphere is the trails, but the Element RC Knightrunner can go well beyond just trail running. While the IFS looks like it would hinder the rigs off-road capability on the rougher terrain it does not.
Turning: The IFS suspension on the Knightrunner helps the rig dig into the turns and adds a sensation of real 1:1 driving. Radio: The XP130 3-channel 2.4GHz is a solid radio, it feels good in the hands, and is very responsive. Test Venues: Juicebox Off-Road Park, Crawler Canyon RC Park, Dellwood Park
