Check your specific Enduro model against these compatible variants to confirm fitment before purchasing.

This body set is perfect as an upgrade or replacement shell for enthusiasts who already own an Enduro platform.
- What colour finish is included? — The body set comes finished in metallic blue, a premium paint application that provides authentic visual appeal and excellent durability. The metallic finish reflects light beautifully and sets your RC truck apart from standard solid colour options commonly found on cheaper body sets.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC? — Replacement body sets are best suited to RC enthusiasts who already own a compatible Element RC Enduro platform and understand RC truck assembly and maintenance. If you're new to RC and looking for a complete ready-to-run truck, you should first purchase a full RTR kit rather than this body shell alone. Experienced RC owners will appreciate the quality upgrade this Bushido+ shell provides.

- How durable is this metallic blue finish? — Element RC applies premium paint finishes using professional techniques that provide excellent durability and fade resistance. The metallic blue finish will maintain its lustrous appearance through regular trail running and outdoor use, though care should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to intense UV radiation without protective storage.
