Technical Performance

The Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper Trailing Arms represent professional-grade suspension engineering designed to optimise the performance envelope of the Element RC Enduro trail truck platform.

• Do I need any special tools to install these trailing arms? — The Gatekeeper Trailing Arms are designed as direct replacements for the stock suspension components on compatible Enduro models, so installation should be straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. You'll need standard RC tools like hex drivers and potentially a suspension tool depending on how your specific model is configured, but no specialist equipment is required.
• Are these original Element RC parts? — Yes, the EL42250 trailing arms are genuine Element RC components manufactured to the same specifications as the parts fitted to new ready to run and RTR models. Purchasing genuine OEM parts from an authorised UK retailer ensures you get authentic components with proper quality control and warranty support.
• What makes trailing arms important for RC trail trucks? — Trailing arms are critical suspension components that control the vertical movement of your vehicle's axles and wheels while maintaining proper geometry throughout the suspension's travel range. Quality trailing arms directly affect your RC truck's handling characteristics, ground clearance, and ability to maintain traction on challenging terrain. If your trailing arms become bent or damaged, replacing them with genuine parts restores your vehicle's geometry and performance to factory specifications.
• Can I use these on any RC trail truck? — No, these arms are specifically designed for Element RC Enduro models. Using non-compatible suspension arms could result in poor handling, suspension geometry issues, or fitment problems. Always verify compatibility with your specific model number before purchasing replacement suspension components.
• How often should I replace my RC trail truck's trailing arms? — Trailing arms typically last for many hours of normal use, but aggressive driving on extremely rocky terrain, high-speed impacts, or crashes can damage them. As a general rule, inspect your suspension regularly and replace arms that show visible bending, cracks, or stress damage. Many RC enthusiasts also maintain spare trailing arms to minimise downtime when accidents occur.
