- Welcome to a new series looking at the Enduro #Ecto. A "Comp" inspired, ready to run trail truck from #ElementRC.
This time we are installing the interior from the Element Gatekeeper, with a little bit of fettling, to improve the scale looks of the truck. If you are looking to use your Ecto in competition this will gain you scale points without adding much weight.
NB: I have not yet been able to create the cutting template, but as soon as I do I will upload it and link to it from here.
Where to get one!

Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing this video. Just got my ecto, now I want this interior. Thanks again.
Thanks, finishes the look perfectly IMO. 🤙
Really nice job on the interior. I have an ECTO headed my way, and this will be a great addition.
Thank you. Hope you enjoy your Ecto when it arrives. 🤙
Good morning Phil just watched this again and it looks great in there .
I'm with you I think trucks look so much better with an interior or at least a driver in .
Now wish me luck it's my turn today LOL
Good luck. 😜
That is a super cool interior cheers
Thank you.
Thank you for this video I just cut out my gatekeeper interior not really an exact fit but it looks nice cheers
Not exact, but it was close enough for me. Improves the look so much! 🤙
Great job on the interior and capturing the process. I agree it looks so much better with the interior.
Thanks. I'm really pleased with the way it looks now. 😎🤙
Awesome vids Phil..... Just got the Ecto and subscribed .... Cracking job fella 🤟👍🤙💯
Welcome aboard and thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy the Ecto as much as I do! 🤙
Looks great 👍 I’ve just ordered this interior after watching this 👍 what did you use for the window nets?
Nice one, I think it really finishes the look off. The window nets are 3d printed and glued on, but I've not published the design as I can't find the files any more 😣. There are some generic ones on Thingiverse already I think, or you can buy sheets of it from Amazon and RC shops I think. 🤙
Looks really good! Did you have a video on the windshield visor?
I don't have a video on it specifically, but the details are on my Thingiverse listing for it.

I plan to spray some plasti-coat in and on that ecto body. I agree it needs it. I managed to rig up a kinetic winch with some elastis shoe laces and a old Mini-Z wheel for about $5.
Do you know anyone who wants to buy a gatekeeper cage without the interior?
Rock on and thanks 😊
🤣 not sure I know anyone, sorry. Worth keeping IMO, looks so good and still pretty capable with it on. Nice to be able to change things up from time to time. Enjoy. 🤙
I really like the look you have going there. Is that just plastic added to the top of the bed?
Thanks, I'm pretty happy how it turned out. The black is just the same Tamiya lexan paint that I used on the inside to bring the yellow down a bit. Simple job. Thanks for watching 🤙
i hole my interiors in with double sided velcro. nice and easy to remove :)
Nice idea, I did think about something similar, but decided I would not be removing it often enough. Time will tell. 🤙
Did you just paint the front of the Ecto black around the grill and over the radiator cap?
Or is that a 3D printed piece?
Hi Rod, just painted on the outside. Had to mask off the grill sticker as it would have damaged it to try and remove it.
