INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Element RC product. This assembly manual contains instructions and tips for building
and maintaining your new Enduro chassis. Please take a moment to read through this manual to help familiarize
yourself with these steps. We are continually changing and improving our designs; therefore, actual parts may appear
slightly different than in the illustrations. New parts will be noted on supplementary sheets located in the appropriate
parts bags.
ECTO RTR
A PERFORMANCE RIG BUILT TO ENDURE. When hitting the trail, you want to do it with performance and
confi dence. So, we bring you the all-new Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR!
Aimed towards the serious RC rock crawler enthusiast, the new Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR is packed full of
performance features that are sure to impress.
What makes the Enduro Ecto Trail Truck special? The all-new Gatekeeper Suspension package (GKS™)! This
package consists of rear trailing arms that move the shocks forward, allowing a larger window for shock tuning
and providing improved weight bias. The trailing arms are paired with a rear anti-roll bar for a more stable and
consistent suspension when crawling on the rocks. An adjustable aluminum track bar mount fi rmly bolted to the
chassis rail gives the Enduro Ecto more reliable and responsive steering without the fl ex. Our shock mount inserts
with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning, whether they’re moving the shocks up, down,
forward, or back.
The performance doesn’t stop there. The Enduro Ecto Trail Truck is built on our proven stamped steel C-channel
Enduro chassis and retains the same awesome features as before.
The behind-the-axle (BTA) steering link greatly improves approach angle and front-end clearance, making rough
terrain much easier to handle. The Stealth® X features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently of
the front drive across three levels: stock overdrives the front end 5.7% (installed in RTR), 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 RTR).
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. With the Enduro drivetrain, delivering useful
and reliable power will not be an issue.
With all these amazing features packed in one box, we know the Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR is a high-performance
rock crawling machine that’s ready to take on the terrain. – Are you?
