Element RC Trailrunner RTR truck
Associated Electrics have introduced the new Enduro Trailrunner ready-to-run trail truck. The Trailrunner comes equipped with a high-strength polycarbonate body that has been pre-painted to look fresh from the dealer showroom. The Trailrunner body was designed for looks, function and customisation featuring a two-piece design with removable front lower valance, injection-moulded fender flares, B-pillar appliques, door handles, windshield wipers, mirrors, and front grill installed right out of the box. The looks don’t stop there. Also included are injection-moulded roof rack, three-piece front bumper with D-rings, snorkel, and accessory decal sheet. Gripping the trail is a set of officially licensed General Grabber A/T X tires moulded in a high-performance, soft compound rubber. The General Grabber A/T X tires are mounted on three-piece 1.55” beadlock wheels. No more worrying if your RTR tires will come unglued.
At the heart of the Enduro is Element RC’s revolutionary Stealth X gearbox. Although the exterior appears to have a conventional 3-gear transmission look, the inside is far from conventional. The Stealth X features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently from the front drive in 3 levels. Stock overdrives the front end 5.7%, option 1 provides a one-to-one drive ratio front to rear and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83%. Feeding the power to the tires are three-piece telescopic driveshafts with an extruded aluminium center section, universal front drive axles, and hardened steel ring and pinion gears. With the Enduro drivetrain, delivering useful power will not be an issue.
With durability, performance, agility and scale looks in mind, the engineers at Area 51 Design Works came up with the Independent Front Suspension conversion kit. Now you can get that same kit in an RTR vehicle. Pre-assembled with the same quality and features, this trail truck comes equipped with IFS and is scale ready to tackle rough off-road terrain right out of the box. The Enduro Trail Truck comes ready for adventure, with performance-driven Reedy Power electronics. The all-new, ultra-smooth and powerful, 16-turn 5-slot brushed crawler motor and Reedy Power SC400X electronic speed controller with T-plug connector, supply ample power to this tough rig. Controlling the beast on the trail is our new 3-channel XP130 2.4GHz radio and Reedy Power high-torque 1320MG metal gear servo. The truck is available as RTR variant – without battery and charger – and also as LiPo combo package including a Reedy Compact Charger and LiPo batter pack.
