Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper Buggy RTR rock crawler

Element RC have released a RTR version of their Enduro Gatekeeper Buggy rock crawler. Previously only available as a kit, it now comes in two different RTR sets, both with brushless electronics, transmitter and receiver, while only the LiPo combo comes with charger and battery pack. Packed full of performance features the Gatekeeper Suspension package consists of rear trailing arms that move the shocks forward, allowing a larger window for shock tuning and providing improved weight bias. The trailing arms are paired with a rear anti-roll bar for a more stable and consistent suspension when crawling on the rocks. An adjustable aluminium track bar mount firmly bolted to the chassis rail gives the Enduro GK more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. The shock mount inserts with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning, whether it’s moving the shocks up, down, forward, or back.

Fenix Racing G12 1/12th scale chassis

Fenix Racing have introduced their new G12 1/12th scale chassis featuring the company’s V-link rear suspension. The G12 has been tested in different environments and tracks, in Europe and Japan, with a huge development done by Mr. Kimihiko Yano and his team. The rear end sports 5 different roll centres positions, to grant you the most precise setup, to get the most from your rear tyres. Multiple side links are used to set the rear bump steer in the best way possible and for the front end they tested several solutions, but nothing come close to the CRC front end. Camber, caster and dynamic caster, everything is easy to work on and on top of that, the CRC front end has proven to be super reliable.
