Overview

The Element RC Enduro Ecto Body Set Clear (EL42161) is a premium polycarbonate bodyshell designed for serious RC trail truck and rock crawler enthusiasts in the UK. This un-painted clear body allows you to customise your build with your own colour scheme whilst maintaining structural integrity and durability. Whether you're a seasoned basher tackling challenging terrain or exploring the world of RC crawling for the first time, this replacement body provides the authentic Ecto styling that makes Element RC vehicles instantly recognisable on any trail course.

Element RC is renowned throughout the RC community for producing high-quality, scale-focused trail trucks and rock crawlers that perform exceptionally well in demanding conditions. The Enduro series has built a loyal following among UK RC enthusiasts who appreciate attention to detail and real-world vehicle proportions. This body set is the perfect solution if you've damaged your original body, want to experiment with a different colour finish, or simply need a replacement for wear and tear after extended use on rough terrain.

The clear polycarbonate construction offers excellent durability and impact resistance, which is essential for rock crawlers and trail trucks that encounter obstacles, rocks and challenging landscapes. By choosing an un-painted clear body, you gain the flexibility to apply your own custom paint scheme, allowing your RC crawler to stand out at the local club or during weekend bashing sessions across UK terrain.

Key Features

• Clear Polycarbonate Construction — Made from tough polycarbonate material, this bodyshell is engineered to withstand impacts and rough handling typical of trail truck and rock crawler use, whilst remaining lightweight enough to maintain optimal vehicle performance and handling characteristics.
• Un-Painted Finish — The un-painted design gives you complete creative freedom to apply custom paint, decals and graphics that reflect your personal style, making your RC trail truck truly unique amongst other crawlers at your local RC club or favourite bashing spot.
• Included Decal Sheet — A factory-supplied decal sheet is included, allowing you to add factory graphics and branding immediately out of the box, or you can customise these decals to match your own colour scheme and design preferences.
• 1/10 Scale Design — Purpose-built for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, this bodyshell maintains authentic proportions and styling that reflects real-world rock crawling and trail truck aesthetics, appealing to scale-focused builders and collectors.
• Compatible with Multiple Element RC Enduro Models — This body fits a wide range of Element RC Enduro trail trucks and rock crawlers, including the Bushido, Bushido+, Ecto Trail Truck and Knightrunner variants, providing flexibility if you own multiple vehicles in the Enduro lineup.

Technical Performance

The Element RC Enduro Ecto Body Set Clear is engineered using premium polycarbonate material, specifically selected for its balance of durability, impact resistance and light weight. Polycarbonate is the material of choice for serious RC crawlers and trail trucks throughout the UK and globally, as it offers superior strength compared to lower-quality plastics whilst maintaining flexibility that prevents shattering on impacts. The clear finish means no paint imperfections or chips will reveal undercoat, and the un-painted nature allows builders to achieve professional-looking custom finishes using standard RC body spray paints. The included decal sheet provides factory graphics that can be applied directly or used as design inspiration for custom artwork. At 1/10 scale, this bodyshell is dimensionally correct for Enduro series vehicles and maintains the scale authenticity that Element RC is known for throughout the crawling and trail truck community.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Element RC Enduro vehicles does the EL42161 body fit? — This clear bodyshell is fully compatible with the Element RC Enduro Bushido Trail Truck RTR, Enduro Bushido+ Trail Truck Blue RTR, Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR models in green and black, Enduro Trail Truck Zuul Tan RTR, Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR Grey with Portal Axles, and the Enduro Trail Truck Knightrunner RTR Blue. If you own any of these Element RC models, this body will fit directly onto your existing chassis.
• Is this clear body ready to run straight out of the box? — The bodyshell arrives un-painted and clear, so you can use it as-is for a transparent look, or apply polycarbonate paint for a custom colour finish. The included decal sheet can be applied immediately, but paint preparation is optional depending on your preference.
• What paint should I use on polycarbonate RC bodies? — Specialist polycarbonate or lexan body paint is recommended, available from most UK RC retailers. Standard plastic paint may crack or peel on polycarbonate. Popular brands include Tamiya, Rustoleum and other RC-specific body paint manufacturers. Always prep the surface and apply thin coats for best results.
• Can I use this body on other RC crawlers or trail trucks? — This body is specifically designed for Element RC Enduro series vehicles listed in the compatibility section. Whilst some dimensions may be similar to other 1/10 trail trucks, fitting it to non-compatible platforms may require modifications and is not recommended for optimal fit and appearance.
• Is the polycarbonate durable enough for serious rock crawling? — Yes, polycarbonate is the industry standard for high-performance RC crawlers and trail trucks throughout the UK and worldwide. Its impact resistance and flexibility make it ideal for rough terrain, obstacles and aggressive driving. Expect excellent durability comparable to original Element RC bodies.
• What should I do if I damage the body during use? — Minor cracks and damage to polycarbonate bodies can often be repaired using dedicated plastic epoxy or polycarbonate repair adhesives. For larger damage or if repairs prove unsuccessful, replacement bodies like this one are affordable and straightforward to fit, minimising downtime for your RC trail truck.
