Few weeks ago Team Associated announced the Enduro Trail Truck released under the new brand Element RC. Now the US brand announced the Builder’s kit edition of this new rig.
At the heart of this trail truck is the Stealth X gearbox. From outside it appears to have a conventional 3-gear transmission look but it features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently from the front drive in three 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 3-piece telescopic driveshafts with an extruded aluminum center section, universal front drive axles, and hardened steel ring and pinion gears. For the Builder’s Kit, Element included machined steel versions of the 5.7% and 11.83% transmission gears. With the Enduro drivetrain, delivering useful and reliable power will not be an issue.
Element RC‘s designers decided to let us choose the wheelbase length that suits most bodies on the market. The included optional rear links allow builders to choose from among the 12.3, 12.0 and 11.8-inch (313mm, 305mm and 299mm) wheelbases.
