Associated Element RC 1/10 Enduro Trail Truck Sendero Kit ASC40102

This is the Associated Element RC 1/10 Enduro Trail truck Sendero kit. When hitting the trail, you want to do it with confidence and the answer is the all-new Enduro Builder's Kit! 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%.

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 power will not be an issue. 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. For the Builder's Kit, we include machined steel versions of the 5.7% and 11.83% transmission gears. With the Enduro drivetrain, delivering useful and reliable power will not be an issue.

We relocated the steering link assembly from the conventional location to behind the axle (BTA). This feature greatly improves approach angle and front-end clearance, making rough terrain much easier to handle.

Knowing that every build is different, we gave you the ability to choose the wheelbase length that suits most bodies on the market. The included optional rear links allow builders to choose from among the 12.3, 12.0 and 11.8-inch (313mm, 305mm and 299mm) wheelbases.

With all this packed in one box, we know the Enduro Builder's Kit is ready for the trail – Are you?
