About this part
Element RC Electric Enduro Zuul 1/10 4X4 Trail Truck
The Element RC Enduro Zuul Trail Truck 4x4 Ready to Run 1/10 Rock Crawler. This rugged vehicle is engineered for exceptional performance and durability. Whether you're tackling challenging trails or simply showcasing your style, the Enduro Zuul Trail Truck is designed to meet your every need. Created with the RC rock crawler enthusiast in mind, it boasts an array of high-performance features that are guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
Built on Element RC's proven stamped steel C-channel chassis this truck features the Gatekeeper Suspension package (GKS) with rear trailing arms that move the shocks forward. This allows for a larger window for shock tuning and provides improved weight bias. The trailing arms are paired with a rear anti-roll bar for a more stable and consistent suspension when crawling on the rocks. An adjustable aluminum track bar mount firmly bolted to the chassis rail gives the Enduro Zuul more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. Shock mount inserts offer multiple mounting positions to allow for precise suspension tuning, whether moving the shocks up, down, forward, or back.
Behind-the-axle (BTA) steering link greatly improves approach angle and front-end clearance, making rough terrain much easier to handle. The Stealth X features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently of the front drive across three levels: stock overdrives the front end 5.7% (installed in the Ready to Run), option 1 provides a one-to-one drive ratio front-to-rear (available separately), and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83% (included with Ready to Run).
Adding the icing on the cake to the fantastic features that make this trail-blazing champion so beloved is its iconic Japanese-inspired design, reminiscent of the early '60s through the mid-'80s era. Decked out with injection-molded mirrors, door handles, grill, a rad roll bar, and a KC HiLites light bar, this truck is ready to roll in style!

I got this RC at the same time I got the Vanquish Phoenix, out of the box at the same time, both trucks got Pro-line 4.75" Predator compound tires, same wheels but different colors; the Zuul was far more capable, you can argue that the "build quality" of the Phoenix is better but to a point that it doesn't improve performance, also this truck is WAY faster, I understand they are rock crawlers but the phoenix barely reaches walking speed. This truck has pretty low weight, body proportions are better, and they are both based on an FJ40/45 but the Zuul looks just more proportionate, center of gravity is pretty low, I moved the shocks to the highest mounting points and it's better, the Zuul was able to climb my typical trails out of the box, didnt feel the need to upgrade to a Fusion but i did add a Hobbywing 1080 for better speed control. Phoenix needed a fusion right out of the box, Stock motor on the Zuul is as fast as the Phonix with a 1800kv fusion. I'm very impressed with the truck, I dont like the radio too much but it's good. Tires are not really good and kinda small but this is a very capable truck right out of the box, like I said better than the famous Phoenix.
This thing is AWESOME!! Smooth running electronics and lots of travel. New Mexico Desert APPROVED!!
Quite possibly the best RTR scale crawler out there! I bought mine from an authorized dealer 3 years ago and it's still running strong. The only complaint I have is with the factory servo, but I say the same thing about every single RTR I buy and I don't expect much from a factory servo. I replaced the stock servo with a high torque, swapped to an 11t brushed motor and added Pro-Line tires and beadlocks; and that's it. I've entered it into several comps and have beaten countless other much more expensive kits when competing. It's a very controllable and predictable crawler and I've had a ton of fun with mine.
I really wanted to love this truck because the Element Enduro platform has a great reputation, but I was disappointed with the factory assembly. Right out of the box, the alignment was off and the truck just felt like it had been put together in a hurry. I had to spend time going over it, making adjustments, and fixing things that I don't think should have been an issue on a brand-new vehicle. Once I got everything sorted out, the truck performed much better and the platform itself has a lot of potential. It crawls well and there are plenty of aftermarket upgrades available. My biggest complaint isn't the design—it's the quality control during assembly. If you're comfortable wrenching on RCs, you'll probably be able to get it dialed in. I just expected better quality and attention to detail for the price.
I was surprised how capable this yruck was out of the box. The tires are a touch small but but some 120mm diameter tires on and it goes about anywhere you point it. Already looking to buy the blue version
Reviewers generally rate the Element RC Enduro Zuul Trail Truck 4x4 RTR highly for crawling capability, controllability and out-of-box performance, with one reviewer comparing it favourably to a Vanquish Phoenix and noting better proportions and lower centre of gravity. Several owners report running it in competitions or desert terrain and upgrading the factory servo and tires. The main disagreement concerns build quality: one 3/5 reviewer found misaligned components and rushed-feeling assembly that needed adjustment before the truck performed well. The factory servo is mentioned as a weak point by at least one owner. Most reviews are from verified owners, though the sample is small.
- + Strong crawling capability
- + Controllable and predictable handling
- + Good proportions and low centre of gravity
- + Upgrade-friendly platform
- − Factory assembly and alignment issues
