Enduro Trail Truck Builder's Kit 3

Always forward, never back. Here at Element RC we are always improving things, and this kit is no different. With added features and updated materials, the new and improved Enduro Builder’s Kit 3 is the perfect platform for any build.

We’ve updated the Builder’s Kit yet again by including our GKS™ shock towers in front and rear. Our shock mount inserts provide the ability to adjust shock angle, droop, and vehicle ride height without affecting spring preload. Matched up with the shock mount inserts are our race-proven ultra-smooth Factory Team bronze shocks with black plastic bleeder caps and collars–perfect for traversing rough terrain. Along with the updated shock towers, we’ve included the GKS aluminum track bar mount that is bolted directly to the frame rails. This makes the front suspension more rigid and flex-free with a more precise steering feel. Also included are updated Factory Team 12.3 and 12.8-inch wheelbase high-clearance links with black nitrate finish and durable Factory Team steel pivot balls for smooth articulation.

You get all these new features along with our forward bias motor Stealth® XF transmission with the ability to adjust the front and rear drive ratios independently across three different levels. In the box you get both the 5.7% and 11.83% overdrive gears, and available separately is a one-to-one ratio option for those who wish to drive the front and rear equally.

The behind-the-axle (BTA) steering greatly improves approach angle and front-end clearance, making rough terrain much easier to handle.

With all these updated features packed in one box, we know the new and improved Enduro Builder’s Kit 3 is better than ever. It’s the perfect rig for whatever adventures lie around the next corner. Your journey begins here!
 

Chassis Features

• Aluminum track bar mount:The GKS™ aluminum track bar mount bolted directly to the steel frame rail makes the front suspension more rigid and flex-free with a more precise steering feel.
• Shock mount inserts:GKS™ shock mount inserts provide drivers with the ability to tune shock angle, droop, and vehicle ride height without affecting spring preload.
• Factory Team shocks:For ultra-smooth performance and looks, our machined aluminum threaded bronze-anodized shocks with black plastic caps and aluminum collars are included.
• 12.3” and 12.8” wheelbase high-clearance links:Our 5mm heavy-duty links are black nitrate-coated with FT logo and length etched right on them for easy reference.
• Factory Team steel wheel hexes:Steel wheel hexes (12x6mm) add weight down low and provides a strong solid mount for your favorite plastic or aluminum wheels.
• Steel pivot balls:30 Factory Team machined steel pivot balls are more durable and smoother than our previous plastic pivot balls. Providing a longer-lasting suspension.
• Stealth® XF gearbox with Forward motor mount:At the heart of the Enduro is our low profile Stealth® XF gearbox. This design moves the motor forward to help keep the weight over the front wheels. The Stealth® XF features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently of the front drive across three levels: stock overdrives the front end 5.7% (included in kit), option 1 provides a one-to-one drive ratio front-to-rear (available separately), and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83% (included with kit).
