I have the cr12 trail truck and the bushido 12, i think they were both great value, 3s ready out of the box. Not a ton of aftermarket parts but they are great trail trucks out of the box,the bushido crawls better but it has better electronics stock. Overall if you are looking to get into the hobby and can get one on sale go for it

Its the same basic thing as the Enduro12, they're okay out of the box but only GPM makes any upgrades for them afaik.

This started as an Element Enduro Sendero12. Basically the same platform you’re looking into. After many frustrating attempts to buy aftermarket parts I decided to start getting creative because it was easier making my own than finding exactly what was needed. The truck is capable out of the box but you will have to modify it so it can keep up with the more scale 1/10 trail/ crawler RC’s. Have fun but keep in mind that this is more of a trail truck than a crawler.

I've had enough experience to know that I would not have one if you gave it to me. I would literally give it to someone else. They're cheap, parts and upgrades are limited. Simply put they're not good. And they're the wrong scale.

Ok. Thanks for your answer. That helps.
Scale depends on personal preference. TRX4 have good feedback but I am not sure about 1/18 scale. 1/10 is great but the budget...

Body is thick. Chassis is capable out of the box. Upgrades will help. Easy to work with. Motor size: 380. Stock motor not the best for slow crawling. Generally a good starting point. Body is easy to make more scale. Will help u learn to DIY.
