Element RC has taken their stellar Enduro and given it a ‘Factory Team’ upgrade – now called the Comp Fox Competition Rock Crawler Kit.

What goes up, must come down – typically the same way it went up – on all 4 tires! However, after a nice, controlled climb up this rather steep (at the top) hill, our Builder’s Kit decided it wanted to descend at a bit faster pace on the way down. Yes, that was a part …

Originally published on CompetitionX The rumor of a trail truck from Team Associated was strong, however what surprised the world was that it was released under a new brand name – Element RC. Not only was the brand something out of the blue, the truck itself surpassed what everyone was expecting from the race-bred company. …

The final step in the Element RC Enduro Builder’s Kit are the body mounts. Element RC supplies a single (short) body post solution up front, however two options for the rear. You can use a similar single body post (like the front) or a taller, cross-braced dual post (for taller bodies). And there you have …

Element RC has included a stellar set of aluminum shocks with the Enduro Builder’s Kit. Seems like a very Factory Team option; aluminum bodies with blue aluminum caps, collars, bottom caps and spring retainers. Silky smooth goodness.

The drive shafts included with the Enduro Builder’s Kit use a combination of plastic females and an aluminum insert. The splines are large, making for a very stout driveline. The aluminum insert virtually eliminates ‘flex crush’; when a typical plastic hollow insert starts to twist under load and then collapses. No worries of that happening …

The Enduro comes with some pretty serious, chrome-plated steel links under it. Element RC also includes different lengths for you to adjust the wheelbase; simply build using the correct lengths for 11.8″, 12.0″ or 12.3″ options. Wah-lah! Give the truck a little twist to make sure everything flexes smoothly. If there’s any notchy feeling, you …

The Enduro uses a nicely molded pair of front and rear axles. Both incorporate steel lockers and oddly small input pinions, both having some major helical cuts to them. You’ll also get a taste of BTA steering, or Behind The Axle. This drastically increases the approach angle of the rig! There you have it – …

The transmission on the Enduro is actually quite unique. Dubbed the Stealth X, this transmission offers a couple different build options (specifically direction and Overdrive) depending on how you want the truck to perform. I’m happy that the transmission goes together easily as I may have to try the reverse-mount setup as well as all …
