Also sold as the Element RC Enduro12 Trail Truck Ecto
Element's Enduro12 Trail Truck Bushido is a ready-to-run 1/12 four-wheel-drive crawler with a Reedy Hi-Torque brushed 380 motor and a Flysky 2-in-1 speed control and receiver.
An 11T pinion and the three-gear transmission give a 46.6:1 final drive, the overall reduction from motor to wheel, which keeps it slow and controllable on rocks. The speed control handles up to a 3S pack. The truck measures 420 mm long on a 252 mm wheelbase, and the shocks run 20 wt oil. If you change the 11T pinion, remember it sets the crawl speed directly.
- Final drive
- 46.60:1
Weigh each corner to balance the chassis, then work out reduction and axle overdrive.

Stock is as the vehicle ships. Calculated is worked from the stock figures on this page rather than stored beside them, so the two cannot drift apart. Not applicable means the vehicle does not come with it, like the motor on a roller or the tires on a race kit, or does not have one, like a KV rating on a brushed motor. Not published means it exists but no source we could find prints it.

Tooth counts are the ones in the specifications above. Pitch is given as metric module (Mod 1, Mod 0.8) or diametral pitch (32P, 48P). They are different standards and are not interchangeable, even where the numbers look close. Bore is the pinion’s hole, listed separately from the motor shaft. Linked part numbers go to the maker's or official distributor's page for that part.
How these numbers were settled
Element prints a 13.98:1 three-gear transmission, and the manual fits an 11T pinion (#41043) and 12T/40T ring and pinion gears (#41130) in both axles, so the total reduction from motor to wheel works out to about 46.6:1.
- The pinion drives a step gear (#41041) that turns a 56T 0.5 module main gear (#41035), but the step gear's tooth counts are not published, so the spur and the ratio after it are left blank.
- No diameter is published for the Enduro12 wheel and tire set (#41142).
- The Reedy Hi-Torque 380 motor is brushed, so KV does not apply.
- Element links the Flysky FS-R4D-ESC-BS manual for the 2-in-1 ESC and receiver, which rates it for 2-3 LiPo cells; the truck ships with an 850mAh 7.4V 2-cell Li-ion pack and charger.
- The Enduro12 Ecto (40010C) is the same chassis and running gear with its own body and a 265 mm wheelbase.
