Element RC Enduro Trailrunner 4x4 RTR 1/10 Rock Crawler (White) w/2.4GHz Radio
About this part
The Element Enduro Trailrunner 4x4 RTR is inspired by today's off road vehicles, with the most detailed and realistic body Element has produced to-date. The Trailrunner 4x4 body was designed for looks, function and customization featuring a two-piece design with removable front lower valance, injection-molded fender flares, B-pillar appliqués, door handles, windshield wipers, mirrors, and front grill installed right out of the box.
The looks don't stop there. Also included are injection-molded roof rack, three-piece front bumper with D-rings, snorkel, and accessory decal sheet so you can make this RTR unique without buying additional accessories. So, whether the look you want is fresh off the lot, weekend warrior, or full-blown off-road trail rig, the choice is yours - and the parts are in the box!
With durability, performance, agility and scale looks in mind, the engineers at Area 51 Design Works came up with the Independent Front Suspension conversion kit. IFS provides maximum suspension articulation along with modern off-road vehicle suspension scale looks. Pre-assembled with the same quality and features, this trail truck comes equipped with IFS and is scale ready to tackle rough off-road terrain right out of the box.
The Enduro Trail Truck comes ready for adventure, with performance-driven Reedy Power electronics. The all-new, ultra-smooth and powerful, 16-turn 5-slot brushed crawler motor and Reedy Power SC400X electronic speed controller with T-plug connector, supply ample power to this tough rig. Controlling the beast on the trail is a 3-channel XP130 2.4GHz radio and Reedy Power high-torque 1320MG metal gear servo.
STEALTH® X GEARBOX WITH ADJUSTABLE OVERDRIVE GEARS
At the heart of the Enduro is our revolutionary Stealth® X gearbox. Although the exterior appears to have a conventional 3-gear transmission look, the inside is far from conventional. The Stealth® X features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently from the front drive in 3 levels.
- Stock (with 27T and 53T gears, above) overdrives the front end 5.7%.
- Option 1 (with 28T and 52T gears, below left) provides a one-to-one drive ratio front to rear.
- Option 2 (with 26T and 54T gears, below right) overdrives the front end 11.83%.
Gripping the trail is a set of officially licensed General Grabber(TM) A/T X tires molded in a high-performance, soft compound rubber. The General Grabber™ A/T X tires are mounted on three-piece 1.55" beadlock wheels. No more worrying if your RTR tires will come unglued.

The enduro trailrunner is an amazing product for the money! Very durable and surprisingly capable for it being ifs and 1.55 wheels. The other accessories like the bumper, snorkel and roof rack are nice and straightforward to assemble. Every thing with the other enduros like the sendero and trailwalker are capable like knuckles and shock mounts. They even include some parts to SAS it. All in all, good truck that is reliable and smooth crawling. The servo still works fine after several vigorous trail and crawl tests.
Fun truck. Things i learned so far, it is slower then a TRX4 sport with the smaller tires. It is vary capable out of the box. I switch the body out and put different shock springs on the front. That with lager tires (1.9) this thing is amazing. I have only tested it but it lightly but once i get it out on some trails i will be able to compare it to a TRX4. Highly recommend it for something new and different.
I want to say that I am probably not the intended user of this little truck. I bought this truck to use the IFS suspension in a project. I basically had plans to make this truck a U4 style rig with 2.2 wheels and tires while using the Element Gatekeeper rear-end. Unfortunately the IFS system has an immense amount of steering slop through all the linkages. When using large tires and wheels this effect was magnified x 10! The stock servo didn't last through the first outing. Even with a Reefs 555 servo the steering slop and lack of precision was unbearable. I have since turned this rig back into a "scale truck" that my daughter uses. With smaller wheels and tires it is OK, but not great. If scale realism is your thing, you'll love this truck. The body and accessories are very nice and the rest of the normal Element brand stuff works as intended. Just know that using it as a comp truck or dreaming of it having Axial Yeti front suspension performance is not what you'll get.
Lot's of problems with the IFS steering which became very loose over time. Ordered all the replacement parts through Element RC. Screws stripped when attempting to drive them through the hard plastic during the last few turns. Wasn't worth the trouble or time, threw it out and bought and bought the brand my son uses and has never had trouble with.
Its my first time owning an element rc and didnt disappoint me.i love the how it looks!
Reviewers generally rate the Enduro Trailrunner 4x4 (White) favourably, with most praising its build quality, scale styling, and the included body accessories. The independent front suspension (IFS) is widely described as a distinctive feature, and several reviewers say the truck performs well out of the box, even on the stock 1.55 tyres. Reviewers disagree on capability: some find it slow and better suited to scale-style crawling than competition, while others report strong results after upgrades such as larger tyres. The most frequent complaint is steering slop in the IFS linkages, which some owners say became loose over time or worsened with larger wheels. Other recurring issues include body accessories working loose, and tyres appearing smaller than on the packaging. Several reviews also mention that the charger and battery are not included.
