Element RC, the in-house brand of Team Associated, announces the Gaterunner 2WD, a new 1/10 scale desert buggy kit, part number #40144, priced at $379.

The Gaterunner 2WD from Element RC borrows the RC10B6’s front suspension

The bronze-anodized chassis uses an independent front suspension directly inspired by the RC10B6, paired at the rear with an Enduro GKS suspension and an anti-roll bar, plus an open differential with metal gears. Factory Team aluminum oil-filled shocks sit at all four corners, and the kit is designed to run on shorty 2S LiPo packs.

On the body side, the Gaterunner 2WD gets a clear “Ecto” cab-style body with rear cage, a driver figure and interior details, plus General Tire Grabber X3 tires mounted on silver Method beadlock wheels. This gives Element RC a turnkey hobby/competition option in the highly popular 1/10 desert buggy segment.
