Panhard definitely Aluminum. well it seems that Samix is in the mid price between the higher $$D and the slightly less expensive STRC. I'd purchased either one. thus i like the fact the panhard on these are not one piece with the hoop tower i believe it's an advantage for the fact it can be replaced. i'll just say every Mfg. is coming out with more and more that's the fun part. it seems as of Now that vendors are coming out with more each week.
If you're looking for the best aluminum shock tower option for you element enduro, this is it. By far, this is it. The quality is unmatched as well as the performance gains it allows you to take advantage of. The problem with a lot of aftermarket shock towers are that they don't offer much tuning options over stock. To me, that was the only reason why i was looking to upgrade my shock towers. The Samix shock towers have two mounting holes inward which is the angle most crawlers look to achieve in there shocks. If you are like me and want something that looks a little better than using shock keys, this is your answer. They also make shock braces for these shock towers if you want even more stability. The panahard mount that comes with these tower is aluminum as well but not as good as quality as the gatekeeper aluminum panhard. But, with the panhard being removable, you can easily add the gatekeeper panhard and use these towers as well. Great product, I highly recommend you give them a try
Nice upgrade. Keeps body posts at same location, nice appearance. Don’t think the panhard is aluminum, seems like plastic, definitely better than stock, but should be molded in with shock tower.
The Ecto falls under the Enduro family of Element Crawlers, but these do not fit the Ecto. The are too short, you would have to use longer body mounts & will probably not have good shock placement using these. I wish amain would put that in the description, now I have to pay +$8 to ship them back.
Four reviews, three of them 4 or 5 stars. Reviewers say the shock plate is a clear upgrade over stock, with good build quality, extra mounting and tuning options, and body posts that stay in their original positions. Reviewers disagree on the panhard material: one describes it as aluminum and another as plastic. One 1-star review says the plate does not fit the Ecto, a crawler in the Enduro family. The reviewer found it too short for good shock placement without longer body mounts and paid return shipping. The reviews do not say whether the fit problem applies to the Element Enduro itself, which the 5-star reviews describe as fitting well.
- + Aluminum build quality
- + More shock mounting and tuning options than stock
- + Keeps body post locations and looks good
- + Clear improvement over stock
- − Does not fit the Ecto (too short)
- − Panhard material disputed (aluminum or plastic)
- − Costly return shipping for fit mismatch
