New Element Truck coming?

[Kemora]

Harley said on his live stream last night that a new Element Truck would be announced Saturday?

I had heard they were doing a trophy truck with the IFS and Gatekeeper trailing arms a few months back. Wonder if that is finally happening.

[Mopar man]

Any word on this?

[smog]

I am guessing svt is right, it will be the Enduro's IFS/SRA set up with trailing arms. Essentially a reconfiguration of existing parts to create a 'trophy truck'.
Personally I hope it is something more grand. Would love some new part options that fit this modular platform.

I would love a trailing arm setup that fits the 12.3 wheelbase instead of the 12.8, so I would be down for that.

Guessing trailwalker hd for this one.

We should see pics of it here come Saturday after the dead man’s crawl event at Apple valley

I've heard close to this. Not 100% sure about the IFS though. Gatekeeper without the cage.

Today is the day hope to see some pics

Element Ecto. Sorry about the Instagram post. I haven't uploaded the picture anywhere else yet.

Huh Ecto-1? No this isn't Ghost Busters

Looks like a Creep like body but a bit more rounded up front, looks nice
I assume it doesnt have anything different from what we're used to under the body.

EDIT : maybe the rear has trailing arms? its hard to see in the pic.
EDIT 2: yep trailing arms and an included sway bar (see video below)

Thanks for sharing Soze!

It's basically the Gatekeeper with a Lexan body. I'll probably pick up the clear body when it comes out.

I've been on the fence about getting a gatekeeper builders kit. If they put out a kit version of this, I'm all over it.

More pictures.

Well that was disappointing.

[smog]

Yeah, Not so exciting. I like the body for it’s function. I would not be surprised to see it become popular on the lcg rigs

Me too, I can definitely see them on a lot of Gspeed rigs.


This is very disappointing IMO. Like someone else said, it’s basically a Gatekeeper. I wanna see something completely out of the ordinary.

That's putting it mildly.

Man, I was really hoping this new truck would take elements (no pun intended) from the Trailrunner with its IFS and the Gatekeeper and mush them together into something awesome and totally original.

I think a lot of people were guessing that combination for some kind of Trophy Truck, but I guess it isn't going to happen or happen yet.

I seem to remember a July date on the Sendero HD barn box. Seems awfully close to this release, but maybe they have something else coming.

This release seems like a "mid-minor" release to me much like the Trailwalker after the Sendero. Maybe they got a major release on the way later this year hopefully with something new.

How boring

[JSterrett]

So very 'meh'.
