The Element Enduro Gatekeeper 4x4 RTR 1/10 Rock Crawler is built for performance, and gives you what you need to hit the trail with confidence. Aimed towards the serious RC rock crawler enthusiast, the Enduro Gatekeeper Buggy RTR is packed full of features that are sure to impress.

The unique Gatekeeper Suspension Package (GKS™) 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 GK more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. Shock mount inserts with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning, whether it's moving the shocks up, down, forward, or back. 

The performance doesn't stop there. The Enduro GK 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 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). 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 GK drivetrain, delivering useful and reliable power will not be an issue.

The Enduro Gatekeeper Rock Crawler Buggy RTR isn't just all about performance, it's got looks, too. With inspired styling from competition off road vehicles, the Enduro GK looks awesome tackling the terrain. The Gatekeeper buggy body comes equipped with a multi-piece injection-molded cage to replicate those found on full-size rock buggies. The polycarbonate body panels are screen printed with the Element RC livery and are detailed with high-quality decals. Also included is an interior panel with injection-molded driver and passenger heads, along with detailed decals for gauge cluster, center console, navigation and body suits. The looks don’t stop there. Located in the back of the Gatekeeper body are a black, paintable, injection-molded radiator with cooling fans and detailed racing fuel cell. With all these cool scale details, the Gatekeeper caged body looks awesome on the trail.

Having a caged body may seem to make working on the GK chassis difficult, but that’s not the case. The removable hinged body mount allows the whole body to swing forward, granting access to the entire chassis and electronics. This makes working on the chassis a breeze, whether out on the trail or in the garage.

Gripping the trail 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 Method 701 Trail Series beadlock wheels. No more worrying if your RTR tires will come unglued. The combination of industry leading General Tires and Method Wheels make the Enduro Gatekeeper look and perform great.

Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper 4x4 RTR 1/10 Rock Crawler
Right out of the box this crawler is very capable. The servo has plenty of torque, the motor is plenty powerful, and the flip up body is very handy. It is very easy to mount lights, I have 3 light bars and 2 light pods. I swapped out the rx and tx immediately so I cannot say if they were any good. The only things I could possibly gripe about was the lack of lights initially and the tires. The tires seem to work really well for rocky terrain, however if there is any dirt hills that you have to climb, you may be sol. I tested this against an axial wraith spawn, axial Capra, traxxis trx4, and the axial honcho, I can honestly say that I like the gatekeeper far better than any of them, and was able to clear more obstacles with it. I would recommend the gatekeeper to just about anyone.

Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper 4x4 RTR 1/10 Rock Crawler
I'm new to this RC car thing, so please take my opinion with a grain of salt. This is my second 1/10 scale truck, my first being the Arrma Big Rock. I love the Big Rock. Now, I'm loving the Gatekeeper! Rock crawling is fun and challenging for me and I'm amazed at how UNSTOPPABLE this thing is! As previously stated, I've never had another rock crawler before so I have no point of reference, but this thing is cool. I happen to have a giant pile of rocks behind my house, so I spent a lot of my first day with the Gatekeeper making courses and scratching the crap out of the truck (worth while fun). I didn't change a thing, but the Gatekeeper came with extra gears, parts and stickers that I'll have loads of fun with later. I saw that there's quite a few upgrades and accessories available, but for right now, it's perfect for me as a beginner just getting into the hobby. I'm sure I'll start tinkering with it later such as adding lights and other accessories, which it already has servo wires coming from the ESC to do just that. Again, I couldn't be happier with my purchase and highly recommend this truck for someone looking for a nice RTR to start getting into rock crawling.

Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper 4x4 RTR 1/10 Rock Crawler
This is my first rock crawler, my 4th build and 1st non-japanese kit, so fairly new to RC. I found the instructions hard to visualize and ended up having to follow a video on YouTube. If you know rock crawlers, then it should be easy but I was new to "trailing arms" and "overdrive". However, The quality is outstanding. I didn't know plastic could be this hard! I would highly recommend buying a set of protek hex drivers as using the included hexes will destroy your hands. I thought I would build it and just keep it around for chasing my dog, but after I took it out on the rocks---i was hooked. Racing buggies is fun and adrenalin. Rock crawling can be relaxing and like solving a puzzle.

Truck seems to be well built and runs good. Only issue I had was when i opened the box. Put a battery in it and tried to run it it would not work. I looked it over and found the motor wires were not connected correctly. Positive to negative on both. Other than that it’s pretty awesome.

The Gatekeeper was able to make climbs that the TRX6 would just spin tires on. Outstanding!

Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper 4x4 RTR 1/10 Rock Crawler
Gatekeeper is my 10th rc and I'm very happy with it. The servos and motors are powerful, the steering angle is large, and the body is very sturdy. In particular, there is no need to replace the servo, and if you replace the motor, you will not be able to realize the effect unless you replace it with a CrawlMaster Pro 550 12t or more. This is highly recommended if you want to run through fluffy forests and dirt slopes with fallen leaves. Very agile compared to other crawlers. However, if it is not modified, it is vulnerable to camber because the vehicle height is high, and climbing steep rocks is not as good as trx4, scx10, and enduro. I want to attach the Hobbywing AX 550 R2 3300 to this and charge it into the woods. The excessively strong cage body will protect the expensive esc even if it falls to the bottom of the valley.

Love this truck. By far one of the most capable out of the box. Was worried because of past experience with associated products. This is top notch and would recommend for anyone. Has great control on even the steepest inclines and off camber moments

Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper 4x4 RTR 1/10 Rock Crawler
I give it a 4 star couse it could be alittle better. It is a great rig though. I've been running it in the basement on a 2s 1500mah pack. It's very light up front and gives plenty of runtime. It is quiet and smooth. I bought the program card and set the drag brake to 75%. I like better this way. I'm looking at putting lights on mine now. Headlights, taillights and rock lights. The lights will all be from powershift and the light on/off switch converter.

yet another capable truck from Element RC, I have a sendero and love it. I think i love this truck even more. The smoothness of the stealth x trans, the trailing arm suspension and rock solid RTR electronics you really can't go wrong. Great aftermarket support for these trucks as well. With a simple body switch to the ecto or Zuul body and it really wakes this truck up.

Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper 4x4 RTR 1/10 Rock Crawler
Great little crawler! You will need the rear link riser and to widen it slightly. I am not a big fan of the stock tires. It is top heavy. Servo upgrade a good idea, red label 2.5 works really well in this rig.

On good side,It is smooth,quiet, handles great, climbs really well. It's really lightweight and easy to bring along and has a great radio for an RTR. It is subjective but I really like the looks and I like the longer wheelbase. I would suggest this or the TRX sport to get started in crawling. TC8 Marksman would be a good choice as well for a 2.2 that doesn't need anything at all to crush trails and rocks. $400 puts you in a TRX Sport with a better servo, a gatekeeper with all necessary upgrades, or TC8 if you want bigger tires and more GC.




Overall, I'm very pleased with it.

For 269$ it is a very nice RC. A bit bummed that ESC just smoked on my first run, after I drove through a deep pond. Expected it to be a bit more waterproof...

Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper 4x4 RTR 1/10 Rock Crawler
This replaced my Losi night crawler. I’m very happy with the gatekeeper. It crawls very well at reacts scale like visually. It’s much more forward weighted compared to other rc’s I’ve owned. Very good looking also. I had to switch to a shorty pack which was fine but wished a full size pack was and option. I don’t love the forward pivoting body but maybe that’s just me. It’s faster than most crawlers I’ve owned and doesn’t cog at low speeds.

Great rtr trail truck for the money. If you have extra rc bodies that are light, this rig will perform the same as the Ecto. It is the Ecto with a top heavy cage on it. Exactly the same under the buggy body. If you change the rear links you have the Enduro. You can build the truck or just put a battery in and run it, either way, you will be happy!
