About this part
Highly Capable Medium Size R/C Rock Crawler
The Element RC Enduro12 Ecto 1/12 4WD RTR Scale Mini Trail Truck is a remarkable off-road vehicle designed to endure the challenges of rock crawling with confidence. At its core, the Enduro12 boasts a robust transmission with a 13.98:1 ratio and an integrated motor mount. This configuration ensures optimal weight distribution over the front tires, enhancing grip and stability during challenging climbs on rocky terrains. The small size of the chassis may be deceiving, but it is loaded with features that make it a performance rig for avid rock crawling enthusiasts!
The drivetrain of the Enduro12 is a standout feature, incorporating low-friction slider-type driveshafts, metal front CVA drive axles, metal ring and pinion gears. This setup delivers both power and torque efficiently, making it well-suited for the demands of rock crawling. The 4-link suspension design with metal pivot balls, coupled with a Servo On Axle (SOA) steering setup, provides precise and direct control over rough terrains, ensuring a thrilling and responsive driving experience.
One of the unique aspects of the Enduro12 is its ready-to-run (RTR) nature, equipped with performance-driven electronics straight out of the box. The MT380 Reedy Power motor supplies smooth and reliable power, while the Flysky 2-in-1 brushed electronic speed control (ESC) and receiver unit offer versatility and control. The inclusion of a built-in LED lighting controller adds an extra layer of excitement to night-time rock crawling adventures. The realistic scale details of the Ecto Trail Truck body, made from high-strength polycarbonate with detailed decals, enhance its visual appeal, and the additional decal sheet allows for customization with optional overlanding graphics and sponsor logos.
Furthermore, the Element RC Enduro12 Ecto 1/12 4WD RTR stands out with its durable construction and thoughtful design features. The chassis includes metal front CVA drive axles, adjustable threaded fluid-filled shocks, and a low center of gravity (CG) servo mounting position for enhanced stability. The solid front and rear axles, 12mm wide stance aluminum wheel hexes, and realistic scale 8-hole chrome wheels with soft compound tires contribute to its authentic rock crawling performance. The inclusion of an 850mAh Li-Ion 7.4V 2-cell battery and charger ensures that you can hit the trails right away. Overall, the Enduro12 is a must-have for R/C rock crawling enthusiasts seeking a high-performance, durable, and feature-rich trail truck in a compact 1/12 scale platform.

The servo went bad in less than one battery pack. Ordered a new one from amain. If it goes out I will have to modify the front end to fit a full size servo. Not impressed
Did not buy this model from Amain purchased it off of Team Associated site. They dont let you review anything on their site so I'll do it here. This thing is garbage. I've had it just over a month used it maybe 2 battery charges worth, and the steering servo has failed twice. Don't waste you time or money on this thing. This is my first Team Associated or Enduro model and I will never buy anything from them again which sucks because I've been looking at the Hoonigan kits for a couple years. DONT DO IT!
Amazing little rig does everything that the full-size one does
Mixed feeling on this RC truck, I love the look and scale, it’s great for back yard crawling and for throwing into a backpack and taking it out for random crawls whilst out on trail walks, but the lack of upgrades and support for this platform is a bummer, it crawls pretty decently out of the box but the quality of some of the parts is very questionable, my servo was dead out of the box and finding a replacement was a mission thanks to them using a weird size, also two of my shocks were leaking pretty badly, otherwise it’s a good truck but you need to put some research and development into to getting more out of it thanks to the lack of upgrades.
I'm trying to get into crawling. It's hard for me because I've been bashing for so long. So trail trucks ease me into crawling mode. This Element Enduro Trail truck is the perfect transition from bashing to trail to crawling mode. Great product 4 ?
Reviewers generally praise the Enduro12 Ecto's scale, look and crawling performance, with several describing it as a good size for backyard crawling and a useful step up from bashing. Recurring criticism centres on steering servo failures, reported by more than one owner, including one dead on arrival and one that failed after a single battery pack. Some reviewers also mention leaking shocks, inconsistent part quality, a non-standard servo size that made replacement difficult, and limited upgrade options for the platform. One review is a service-oriented comment rather than a product assessment. Reviewers disagree on overall value: some call it a great product, while others describe it as garbage and advise against buying. The sample is small (seven reviews, one of which is off-topic), so the picture is limited.
- + Good scale look
- + Strong performance for backyard crawling
- + Good size, feels solid compared with smaller crawlers
- + Good transition for bashers moving into crawling
- − Steering servo failures reported
- − Non-standard servo size complicates replacement
- − Leaking shocks
- − Limited upgrade and parts support
