The kit is suitable for builders and experienced RC users who understand the basics of RC car assembly and maintenance. If you're searching for a dependable axle kit for your ready to run RC trail truck or looking to upgrade your Enduro model, this comprehensive package delivers the durability and precision engineering you need to keep your vehicle performing at its best on every terrain from forest tracks to rocky hillsides.

Key Features

• Complete Axle Assembly System — This kit includes both front and rear axle housings along with all mounting hardware, giving you a fully integrated solution rather than piecemeal components that may not work together properly. This comprehensive approach ensures that all parts are engineered to work as one cohesive system.
• Precision Gear Set — The kit features a 30-tooth ring gear paired with an 8-tooth pinion gear, providing the correct gear ratio for balanced performance across a range of terrain and driving conditions. These gears are engineered to mesh smoothly and deliver consistent torque delivery without slipping or binding.
• Dual Steering Plates and Caster Blocks — Included are left and right steering plates with matching caster blocks (both left and right), ensuring symmetrical front axle geometry and precise steering response. This attention to detail makes a significant difference in how your RC car UK trail truck handles on technical terrain.
• Universal Joint and Drive Shaft Components — The kit includes two front universals and two rear drive shafts, providing the flexible connections needed to transfer power smoothly even when the suspension is working through full range of motion over rough ground. These components are critical for maintaining drivetrain integrity during aggressive driving.
• Rubber Sealed Ball Bearings — Six rubber sealed ball bearings are included in the kit, providing smooth rotation of drivetrain components whilst protecting against dirt and moisture ingress. The sealed design is particularly important for trail trucks that regularly operate in wet or dusty conditions common to UK terrain.
• High-Quality Fastening Hardware — The kit comes with an extensive selection of precision screws and fasteners including M2.5 and M3 socket head cap screws (SHCS) in both black finish, along with button head cap screws (BHCS), ensuring you have the correct hardware for every assembly step and none of these critical fasteners will go missing.
• Composite Wheel Hexes — Four composite wheel hex adapters allow you to mount your existing wheels and tyres to the new axle system, providing a good balance between weight savings and durability for off-road use.
• Complete Assembly Instructions — The kit includes detailed assembly instructions that guide you through every step of installation, making the rebuild process straightforward even for first-time builders of RC model spares.

Technical Performance

The Element RC Enduro Axle Kit EL42077 represents professional-grade drivetrain engineering built specifically for the demands of trail truck racing and recreational off-road driving. The dual-housing design (separate front and rear axle housings) provides structural rigidity whilst allowing independent suspension movement, which is essential for maintaining traction when navigating rocky terrain and tight climbing sections. The 30T ring gear to 8T pinion gear ratio offers an optimal balance between acceleration and top speed capability, suitable for both competitive racing and casual weekend bashing on varied UK terrain. The inclusion of rubber sealed ball bearings throughout the assembly reduces friction losses and extends component lifespan by protecting critical contact surfaces from the mud, dirt and moisture that accumulates during off-road operation. The kit's construction utilises precision-machined housings and drive components engineered to withstand the shock loads and vibration inherent to trail truck driving. The composite wheel hexes contribute to weight reduction whilst maintaining sufficient strength for aggressive driving, helping to preserve battery runtime and responsiveness. Each screw and fastener has been carefully specified in terms of size and material to ensure secure assembly that will not vibrate loose during the bumpy operation that defines the trail truck experience. This is genuinely engineered equipment designed by Element RC professionals, not a generic collection of parts; every component works together as an integrated system to deliver reliability and performance that competitive drivers depend upon.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Element RC trail trucks is this axle kit compatible with? — The Element RC Enduro Axle Kit EL42077 is designed to fit multiple models in the Enduro range, including the Bushido+ Trail Truck (Blue RTR), Bushido Trail Truck (Green RTR), Ecto Trail Truck (Black and Grey with Portal Axles variants, as well as Green RTR), Trailwalker (Black RTR), Zuul Trail Truck (Tan RTR), and Sendero HD (Black and Titanium RTR versions). Always verify your specific model number against this compatibility list before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
• Is this kit suitable for beginners or do I need advanced RC building skills? — This is a spare part kit intended for users with some experience in RC car assembly and maintenance. It requires mechanical aptitude, appropriate tools and a comfortable level of familiarity with RC model construction. If you are brand new to the hobby, we recommend starting with a ready to run RC car and gaining experience before attempting axle replacements. However, the included assembly instructions do provide guidance through the process, making it accessible to intermediate builders who take their time and follow each step carefully.
• What tools will I need to assemble this axle kit? — Whilst the kit comes with all necessary components, you will need to supply standard RC hobby tools including hex key drivers (Allen keys) in appropriate sizes for the fasteners included, a screwdriver set for cross-head screws, and potentially tweezers or small forceps for handling small bearings and drive shaft pins. A small parts tray is useful for keeping fasteners organised during assembly.
• Can I use this kit to replace worn out axles on my trail truck? — Yes, this is precisely what the kit is designed for. As a wear item that endures significant stress during off-road operation, axle components will eventually require replacement. This official Element RC kit provides all the components needed for a complete axle system overhaul, restoring your trail truck to like-new condition. If you regularly bash your RC car UK trail truck hard, keeping a spare axle kit in your workshop is a smart investment.
• What is the difference between this standard axle kit and other Element RC drivetrain options? — Element RC offers this Enduro Axle Kit as a comprehensive drivetrain solution, and whilst similar kits exist for other manufacturers, this kit is specifically engineered for Element RC Enduro trail trucks. The gear ratios, bearing sizes, and mounting specifications are tailored to these specific models. Some Element RC models come with optional portal axles (such as the Ecto with portal axles variant), which utilise different gearing; this standard kit is not compatible with portal axle configurations.
• How long will this axle kit last with regular use? — Durability depends heavily on driving style and terrain. Gentle trail driving may see service life of several seasons, whilst aggressive bashing or competitive racing typically results in wear becoming noticeable after 30-50 hours of driving. The sealed bearings and quality construction help extend component lifespan, but drivetrain parts are ultimately consumables that will eventually wear.
