Press Release From Element RC:

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.

The Gaterunner’s new independent front suspension is carried over from the proven Team Associated RC10B6 race buggy, delivering precise handling and controlled performance across rough terrain. A new rear axle housing and metal-gear differential provide durability, while the CNC-machined blue anodized aluminum front arm mount and black anodized aluminum front bumper skid plate add strength and style.

An aluminum high-speed center transmission and motor mount provides a solid foundation for efficient power delivery, while the black G-10 front shock tower supports the Factory Team fluid-filled threaded shocks. Heavy-duty links and ball joints are built to handle demanding off-road conditions.

Out back, the GKS rear trailing arm suspension features an anti-roll bar for improved stability and control through high-speed corners and uneven terrain. Fully adjustable suspension allows drivers to tune the Gaterunner to suit different driving styles and terrain conditions.

Full metal ball bearings provide smooth operation and reduced friction throughout the truck. The Gaterunner is designed to accept 2S LiPo shorty battery packs, delivering a compact power solution while helping maintain balanced handling. From rough desert terrain to high-speed runs, the all-new Element RC Gaterunner combines race-bred suspension technology, premium aluminum components, and rugged 2WD performance.

All in the details. The all-new Element RC Gaterunner 2WD combines aggressive desert styling with authentic scale detail, inspired by Dave at My Build Projects, on YouTube and Instagram, and his passion for creating unique, highly detailed off-road builds. The new clear Ecto cab and rear cage body set features an injection-molded fuel cell and radiator, bringing realistic details to the heart of the truck. A new roof-mounted lightbar accepts 3mm LEDs, allowing you to add functional lighting for an even more realistic appearance.

The Gaterunner rolls on officially licensed General Tire Grabber X3 tires mounted to officially licensed silver Method 701 Trail Series 3-piece beadlock wheels, delivering a premium scale look from every angle. Inside, a detailed interior includes driver and co-driver figures with molded helmets, adding another level of realism to the desert-inspired design.

A screen-printed livery decal sheet is included to replicate the striking box-art graphics, making it easy to achieve the distinctive Gaterunner appearance right out of the box. From its detailed cage and interior to its licensed tires and wheels, the Element RC Gaterunner brings Dave’s My Build Projects-inspired vision to life in an Element RC builder’s kit platform.

OFFICIALLY LICENSED WHEELS AND TIRES: Gripping the desert sand is a set of officially licensed General Grabber™ X3 tires molded in a high-performance, soft compound rubber. The General Grabber™ X3 tires are mounted on officially licensed silver Method 701 Trail Series beadlock wheels. The combination of industry leading General Tires™ and Method Wheels make the Gaterunner 2WD look and perform great.
