Always forward, never back.
Here at Element RC we are always improving things, and this kit is no different. With added features and updated materials, the new and improved Enduro Builder’s Kit 3 is the perfect platform for any build.
We’ve updated the Builder’s Kit yet again by including our GKS™ shock towers in front and rear. Our shock mount inserts provide the ability to adjust shock angle, droop, and vehicle ride height without affecting spring preload. Matched up with the shock mount inserts are our race-proven ultra-smooth Factory Team bronze shocks with black plastic bleeder caps and collars–perfect for traversing rough terrain. Along with the updated shock towers, we’ve included the GKS aluminum track bar mount that is bolted directly to the frame rails. This makes the front suspension more rigid and flex-free with a more precise steering feel. Also included are updated Factory Team 12.3 and 12.8-inch wheelbase high-clearance links with black nitrate finish and durable Factory Team steel pivot balls for smooth articulation.
You get all these new features along with our forward bias motor Stealth® XF transmission with the ability to adjust the front and rear drive ratios independently across three different levels. In the box you get both the 5.7% and 11.83% overdrive gears, and available separately is a one-to-one ratio option for those who wish to drive the front and rear equally.
The behind-the-axle (BTA) steering greatly improves approach angle and front-end clearance, making rough terrain much easier to handle.
With all these updated features packed in one box, we know the new and improved Enduro Builder’s Kit 3 is better than ever. It’s the perfect rig for whatever adventures lie around the next corner. Your journey begins here!
Chassis Features
Aluminum track bar mount: The GKS™ aluminum track bar mount bolted directly to the steel frame rail makes the front suspension more rigid and flex-free with a more precise steering feel.
Shock mount inserts: GKS™ shock mount inserts provide drivers with the ability to tune shock angle, droop, and vehicle ride height without affecting spring preload.
Factory Team shocks: For ultra-smooth performance and looks, our machined aluminum threaded bronze-anodized shocks with black plastic caps and aluminum collars are included.
12.3” and 12.8” wheelbase high-clearance links:Our 5mm heavy-duty links are black nitrate-coated with FT logo and length etched right on them for easy reference.
Factory Team steel wheel hexes: Steel wheel hexes (12x6mm) add weight down low and provides a strong solid mount for your favorite plastic or aluminum wheels.
Steel pivot balls: 30 Factory Team machined steel pivot balls are more durable and smoother than our previous plastic pivot balls. Providing a longer-lasting suspension.
Stealth® XF gearbox with Forward motor mount: At the heart of the Enduro is our low profile Stealth® XF gearbox. This design moves the motor forward to help keep the weight over the front wheels. The Stealth® XF features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently of the front drive across three levels: stock overdrives the front end 5.7% (included in kit), 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 kit).

Introducing the Element RC Enduro Builders Kit 3 TAM EL40135
The Element RC Enduro Builders Kit 3 represents the next evolution in 1:10 scale rock crawling, pairing nostalgic design with race-proven innovations. A stamped steel frame rail foundation and enclosed water-resistant receiver box create a rock-solid backbone, while behind-the-axle steering dramatically improves approach angles. Builders will appreciate the integrated servo winch mount and adjustable bumper brackets that support endless customisation, and the modular design welcomes upgrades from body shell to electronics without compromising structural integrity.
Key features of the Element RC Enduro Builders Kit 3
- GKS™ aluminium track bar mount – locks front axle alignment for razor-sharp steering response
- Shock mount inserts – tune shock angle, droop and ride height independently of spring preload
- Factory Team bronze shocks – ultra-smooth dampers with plastic bleeder caps and collars for consistent rebound
- High-clearance links – 12.3 cm & 12.8 cm FT links with steel pivot balls for precise articulation
- BTA steering geometry – improves front clearance and maximises off-camber stability
- Integrated servo winch mount – centralised weight distribution for balanced handling
What makes the Element RC Enduro Builders Kit 3 stand out?
Unlike copycat designs, the Element RC Enduro Builders Kit 3 upgrades critical chassis points with precision-machined components. GKS™ shock towers front and rear bolt directly to the frame rails, eliminating flex under load. Paired with the aluminium track bar mount, this creates a torsion-resistant platform that delivers consistent steering feel even when lumbering over boulders or crawling steep inclines.
How does the Element RC adjustable shock suspension deliver adaptability?
The Element RC adjustable shock suspension features Factory Team threaded, aluminum-bodied bronze shocks that let you dial in three droop settings without altering spring preload. This means you can instantly tweak ride height for low-grip ledges or high-speed rock gardens, keeping tyres planted through every obstacle and ensuring predictable handling across varied terrain.
Unleash terrain conquering power with Element RC Stealth XF transmission
The heart of the kit is the Element RC Stealth XF transmission with forward-mounted motor design that shifts weight over the front axle for improved traction. Builders receive both 5.7 % and 11.83 % overdrive gears in-box, plus the option to purchase a one-to-one ratio separately. Independent front/rear drive-ratio tuning delivers the perfect balance of crawl speed and torque for your personal style.
What makes the Element RC Enduro chassis kit a versatile platform?
The Element RC Enduro chassis kit adapts to every build ambition. Stamped steel frame rails support injection-molded adjustable-width rock sliders, while telescopic driveshafts with extruded aluminum splines accommodate extreme articulation. Universal front drive axles and a one-piece rear axle ensure power delivery remains smooth when the suspension flexes through steep embankments.
Is the Element RC EL40135 rock crawler kit ideal for custom builds?
As an affordable Element RC kit for custom builds, TAM EL40135 ships with more than 30 Factory Team steel pivot balls and 12 × 6 mm steel wheel hexes to add low-centre mass. The threaded aluminum shock bodies, machined pinion gear and metal ring gear deliver durability, making this the best 1/10 scale Element RC crawler chassis for hobbyists who demand upgrade pathways from electronics to body styling.
When you’re ready to push boundaries on your next project, buy Element RC Enduro Builders Kit 3.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
