Element RC Enduro Bushido Trail Truck RTR (Green) Announced
This is a well-matched brand and category (Element RC's Enduro Bushido is squarely in the show's historical wheelhouse of trail/scale RTR crawlers), but the news hook is simply a new colorway (Green) of an existing product line — a routine catalog-pattern variant rather than a genuinely new release. Per the rules, minor color/size refreshes cap at 35-55 even from beloved brands unless there's clear new-launch story value, which this lacks (no launch framing, just 'now available in Green').
