Description
Aimed at the serious RC rock crawler enthusiast, the black Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR is packed full of performance features that continue to impress.
What makes the Enduro Ecto Trail Truck special? The Gatekeeper Suspension package (GKSTM)! The GKS 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 firmly bolted to the chassis rail gives the Enduro Ecto more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. 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 StealthR 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 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?
The #40122C LiPo Combo includes a Reedy Compact Balance Charger and Reedy 7.4V LiPo Battery with T-plug.
Chassis Features
STEALTH X GEARBOX WITH ADJUSTABLE OVERDRIVE GEARS: 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 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).
ALUMINUM TRACK BAR MOUNT: The GKS package includes an aluminum track bar mount bolted directly to the steel frame rail, making 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.
REAR ANTI-ROLL BAR: The rear anti-roll bar helps keep the rear suspension stable while driving over rough terrain and improves climbability on steep inclines or side hills.
REEDY POWER CRAWLER MOTOR: The Reedy Power 5-slot 16-turn brushed crawler motor provides ample torque with a smooth power delivery. This allows for slow, precise acceleration while maintaining consistent power over rough terrain and obstacles.
REEDY POWER ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLLER (ESC): The water-resistant SC480X brushed ESC is specifically programmed for crawling with proportional forward/reverse, dual auxiliary power output leads, LiPo low-voltage cutoff protections, and T-plug connector.
RADIO & SERVO: The XP130, 2.4GHz, 3-channel radio, and receiver, together with a Reedy Power 1523MG (metal gear) water-resistant servo pushing out 173 oz-in (12.5kg-cm) of torque at 6V is the perfect setup for keeping the Enduro under control on the trail.
TRAILING ARM REAR SUSPENSION: At the heart of the Gatekeeper Suspension (GKS) are the rear trailing arms. This design moves the shocks forward, thus improving weight bias. Because the shock mounting points are farther forward on the lower links and chassis, this allows for a larger window for shock tuning and an optimized anti-roll bar mounting position.
Body Features
HIGH-PERFORMANCE SCALE LOOKS. The Enduro Ecto Black Trail Truck RTR isn’t just all about performance, it’s got looks, too. With inspired styling from competition off-road vehicles, the Enduro Ecto looks awesome tackling the terrain.
The Ecto Black comes equipped with a high-strength polycarbonate body that has been pre-painted with a Scratch-and-Weather matte black finish. With this never-before-seen RTR finish, you can either leave it and let nature take its course on the rocks or weather the body to suit your desired look.
