Element documents this configuration and the stated parts. Check your fitted transmission, axle and wheelbase before ordering.

Installation notes

  • Use the complete 42340 module, including its supplied steering/suspension hardware and SE-style fluid-filled shocks. Do not mix individual original IFS or solid-axle arms, skid plates and steering racks by family name.
  • Remove both assembly stands, pivoting the shock mounts as instructed, and retain the removed hardware. Remove the servo-horn fastener before the servo blank, then install the real compatible servo and skid in sequence.
  • The supplement calls 31532 3x 8 in prose but 3x 10 in its drawing. Retain the supplied fastener and check its actual location; do not turn this inconsistent label into an extra replacement-screw purchase.
  • Follow Utron IFS2 chassis gates for the steering rack and servo stack. Check servo spline/horn fit, front prop-shaft engagement, full bump/steer travel, wheel barrel and body clearance. Existing motor/radio/rear axle are retained.
  • This recipe is scoped to the stated 1:10 Enduro factory configuration. It does not apply to Enduro 12, Enduro 24, Gaterunner or a portal-front/IFS mixed assembly.
