Element RC Enduro trail truck builder’s kit

Element RC have announced the release of their Enduro trial truck builder’s kit – the build-it-yourself variant of the newly introduced Enduro trail truck series. At the heart of the Enduro is the new Stealth X gearbox. Although the exterior appears to have a conventional 3-gear transmission look, the inside is far from conventional. The gearbox features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently from the front drive in three levels. Stock overdrives the front end 5.7 percent, option 1 provides a one-to-one drive ratio front to rear, and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83 percent. Feeding the power to the tires are 3-piece telescopic driveshafts with an extruded aluminium centre section, universal front drive axles, and hardened steel ring and pinion gears. For the Builder’s Kit, Element RC include machined steel versions of the 5.7 percent and 11.83 percent transmission gears. The truck will allow for different wheelbase configurations of 12.3, 12.0 and 11.8-inch (313mm, 305mm and 299mm) wheelbases and it comes as chassis-only kit with the electronics, wheels, tyres, body etc. not included.
