Technical Performance

The Element RC Sendero Body Set is engineered from premium polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance essential in competitive rock crawling. The clear finish maintains structural integrity whilst providing uncompromised visibility of internal components – a crucial feature for builders who invest in high-quality chassis assemblies and want to showcase their work. The 313mm wheelbase measurement ensures proper weight distribution and balance across the Element RC Enduro platform family, contributing to the predictable handling characteristics and articulation performance demanded by serious rock crawlers. The included window masks are cut to factory tolerances, enabling clean paint separation lines if you choose to add colour to your bodyshell. The robust polycarbonate construction resists UV degradation and maintains its clarity through extended outdoor use and storage. This body shell integrates seamlessly with Element RC's engineering standards, guaranteeing precise fitment to platform-specific chassis dimensions and mounting points without modification or adjustment required. Whether deployed on hardened rock gardens, technical trail courses or competitive courses in the UK and beyond, the Sendero body delivers reliability and aesthetic appeal that serious RC crawler enthusiasts and builders have come to expect from Element RC branded products.

Verify your specific chassis model before ordering to ensure compatibility.
• Is the Sendero Body Set suitable for beginners building their first RC rock crawler? — Yes, absolutely. The Sendero body is an excellent choice for builders at any experience level. The clear polycarbonate requires no painting expertise if you prefer the transparent aesthetic, though experienced modellers can paint and decal it to create show-quality finished models. The included window masks and decal sheet provide everything needed to achieve professional results without advanced techniques.
• Can I paint the clear Sendero bodyshell? — Yes, the clear polycarbonate is designed for paint application. Use only polycarbonate-compatible paints formulated for lexan bodies – standard plastic model paints may cause crazing or damage. The included window masks help achieve clean paint separation between the clear windows and the body colour. Multiple thin coats provide better adhesion and finish quality than single heavy coats.
• What is the wheelbase measurement for the Sendero body? — The Sendero Body Set features a 313mm wheelbase, which equals 12.3 inches. This dimension is engineered specifically for Element RC Enduro trail truck platforms to ensure proper weight distribution, articulation and handling characteristics during rock crawling and technical terrain navigation.
• Do I need to modify or trim this body to fit my platform? — No modification is required. The Sendero body is engineered to factory tolerances for seamless fitment to compatible Element RC Enduro platforms. Simply mount the body using the platform's existing body post hardware – no cutting, drilling or adjustment necessary for proper installation.
• What is included in the decal sheet and window mask set? — The complete decal sheet provides pre-printed graphics suitable for personalising your rock crawler with authentic markings, sponsor details or custom designs of your choice. The window mask set includes pre-cut masking material for the clear windows, enabling precise paint application to the body panels whilst keeping the windows transparent. This approach creates the professional multi-colour finished look typical of scaled rock crawler vehicles.
• Is the clear bodyshell durable for competitive rock crawling? — Yes, polycarbonate bodyshells are specifically engineered for durability in competitive RC environments. The material resists impact damage better than traditional plastic, though like all RC bodies, it may develop minor scuffs through regular use. The clear finish actually helps identify any damage areas for easy repair assessment. The robust construction is suitable for both recreational trail running and serious competitive rock crawling courses.
