It has been a while since we have seen something new from the gang at Element RC, so it was a nice surprise when the Element Gaterunner 2WD desert truck kit was announced.
OVERVIEW
The all-new Element RC Gaterunner brings race-inspired engineering and high-performance desert truck capability to a 1:10 scale 2WD platform built for serious off-road driving. Featuring an all-new Gaterunner design, the truck is built around a hard anodized bronze chassis with a new chassis brace and support system for added strength and rigidity.

FEATURES
- HIGH-PERFORMANCE IFS: This high-performance race-inspired independent front suspension is carried over from our Team Associated line or racing buggies (RC10B6) and utilizes heavy-duty steel tie rods, ball cups, ball studs, and an aluminum blue anodized arm mount for increased durability.
- AXLE HOUSING AND DIFFERENTIAL: To handle the higher speeds this truck was designed for, an all-new one-piece rear axle incorporates a durable open gear differential with metal ring, pinion, and planetary gears.
- TRAILING ARM REAR SUSPENSION: To handle bumps and jumps our classic Enduro GKS rear suspension with anti-roll bar and Factory Team aluminum threaded fluid-filled shocks is the perfect fit for the Gaterunner.
- ALUMINUM FRONT BUMPER SKID PLATE: The aluminum black front bumper skid plate increases protection from impacts and incorporates a shock absorbent brace that ties into the G10 front shock tower.
- DRIVE TRAIN: The Gaterunner utilizes a high-speed and efficient center mounted transmission with an adjustable CNC aluminum motor mount, carbon fiber brace, and heavy-duty slider shafts with aluminum inserts.
