The Team Associated Enduro Bushido 1/10 4WD Ready-to-Run Trail Truck in green is an RC rock crawler inspired by the Suzuki Samurais compact 1980s 4x4 kei car design. This trail truck features a detailed polycarbonate body, a Stealth X gearbox, and a LiPo battery combo, offering functionality for off-road trails. Its scale, realism, and durable chassis make it suitable for hobbyists interested in scale RC cars and outdoor crawling.
Performance
The Enduro Bushidos 4WD system, powered by a Reedy 16-turn brushed motor, provides reliable traction on rocky trails, mud, or uneven terrain. The Stealth X gearbox allows adjustable rear drive ratios, offering flexibility for different trail conditions. Oil-filled shocks and a 3-link suspension enhance articulation, though the trucks moderate speed limits its use for high-speed bashing. It performs well on technical courses but may struggle on extremely steep inclines without upgrades.
Build Quality
The truck features a stamped steel frame with adjustable rock sliders and bumper mounts, ensuring durability during rough crawls. The enclosed receiver box protects electronics from dust and moisture, though not fully waterproof, requiring caution in wet conditions. The single-piece polycarbonate body, molded with high-strength material, resists impacts, but small injection-molded accessories like mirrors may detach during heavy crashes.
Control
The Spektrum SX107 servo with metal gears delivers precise steering, paired with a chassis-mounted servo (CMS) for direct control. The 2.4GHz transmitter offers reliable range and basic adjustments, suitable for most users, though advanced drivers may find the lack of programmable features limiting. The adjustable front track bar helps fine-tune handling, enhancing stability on uneven terrain.
Design and Features
Inspired by the Suzuki Samurai, the pre-painted body includes clear windows, a molded grille, and injection-molded accessories like a snorkel, wipers, and rear bed cage, adding scale realism. Licensed General Grabber X3 tires on 1.9-inch wheels provide solid grip. The bodys clipless design simplifies battery access, but frequent removal may wear out mounting points. The included LiPo battery and charger ensure immediate usability.
Special Notes: This is a Ready-to-Run model, fully assembled with a pre-painted body, 7.4V LiPo battery, charger, and AA transmitter batteries included. No additional purchases are required. Suitable for beginners with straightforward controls, while experienced crawlers can adjust gearbox ratios or suspension for tailored performance. Not waterproof; avoid prolonged exposure to water.
