Element RC Bushido 4×4 Trail Truck | CompetitionX

Element RC Bushido 4x4 Trail Truck | CompetitionX

Element RC has dropped a new ride on us – the Bushido 4×4 Trail Truck – right before this years Pro-Line By The Fire event. Based on the Enduro platform, this truck rolls along on a short 11.3″ wheelbase under the Bushido 1-piece body. All of the standard features are included on the chassis – chassis-mounted servo, universal drive shafts, aluminum motor plate, etc – as well as a full array of Reedy electronics.

The body is the big feature here, though, and comes with clear windows, a molded grille, adjustable front/rear injection molded bumpers as well as molded snorkel, mirrors and windshield wipers.

What We Like:
We love that Element came out with something different, even though it’s a bit of the same. A short-wheel based truck is cool but, adding that Bushido body really gives it a different appearance. It should also change the way the truck works a bit, giving drivers a new experience as well.

What We’re Not Sure About:
While we love this new ride, we think it’s time AE upped their Element game with an interior or inner fenders. Seeing that truck drive around (up close) just seems like it’s really missing something without those parts.
