Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — The roof rack is manufactured from lightweight yet durable aluminium alloy, providing excellent strength-to-weight ratio that reinforces your vehicle's structure without adding excessive weight that would compromise handling or battery runtime on your electric RC car.
- 16 LED Light Bar — Integrated directly into the roof rack design, the 16 LED light bar provides bright, functional lighting that adds authentic scale realism to your FTX Fury or compatible crawler, creating a stunning visual effect during operation.
- Direct FTX Fury Compatibility — Purpose-designed for the FTX Outback Fury platform, this accessory fits perfectly without modification, ensuring seamless integration with your existing RC vehicle setup.
- Enhanced Visual Appeal — The combination of polished or anodised aluminium with bright LED lighting creates a striking appearance that elevates the overall aesthetics of your RC crawler, making it stand out in any collection or during trail runs.
- Structural Reinforcement — Beyond the visual benefits, the roof rack adds genuine chassis strength and protection to your vehicle, helping to protect the bodywork from impacts and debris during off-road use.
- Integrated Design — Rather than being a bolt-on afterthought, the light bar is carefully integrated into the roof rack structure, creating a unified, professional appearance that looks like original factory equipment.
- Always-On LED System — The 16 LEDs illuminate when you power on your RC vehicle, providing immediate visual feedback and creating an impressive lighting display that enhances nighttime operation and photography.
Technical Performance
The FTX Fury Alloy Roof Rack and Light Bar represents a significant step up in scale vehicle customisation for RC enthusiasts across the UK. Manufactured from premium aluminium alloy, the roof rack combines lightweight construction with exceptional rigidity, ensuring that the added component does not negatively impact your vehicle's performance or battery runtime. The integrated 16 LED light bar operates directly from your vehicle's power system, illuminating automatically when the main power switch is activated. This means you don't need to install separate wiring or control systems unless you prefer to add an independent switch for manual LED control. The aluminium construction provides superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, resisting vibration, impact damage, and the wear and tear associated with regular RC off-road use. For owners of 1/10 scale rock crawlers, trail trucks, and off-road buggies, this accessory delivers both functional improvement through structural reinforcement and aesthetic enhancement through authentic scale lighting. The engineering quality reflects FTX's commitment to providing serious RC enthusiasts with components that look factory-fitted and perform reliably through extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX models is this roof rack compatible with? — This roof rack is specifically designed for the FTX Outback Fury platform and related Fury variants. Whilst the description lists it as compatible with the Fury, you should verify fitment with other FTX models before purchasing, as the mounting points and chassis dimensions vary between different FTX crawler and truck models.
- Do the LEDs come on automatically when I power up my RC car? — Yes, the 16 LEDs illuminate automatically when you activate the main power switch on your FTX Fury. However, many UK RC enthusiasts recommend installing an additional switch to control the LEDs independently if you prefer manual on-off control or want to preserve battery power during extended driving sessions.
- Will this roof rack add much weight to my RC crawler? — The aluminium construction is engineered to be lightweight whilst maintaining structural integrity. The added weight is minimal and should not significantly impact acceleration, top speed, or battery runtime on modern 1/10 scale electric RC crawlers, though you may notice a slight change in weight distribution depending on your vehicle's current setup.
- Is this suitable for beginners buying their first RC car? — This is an aftermarket hop-up part designed for customisation and enhancement rather than a complete vehicle, so it's best suited to users who already own an FTX Outback Fury. If you're new to RC and don't yet have a compatible vehicle, you'll want to start with a ready-to-run kit first.
- What makes this better than other roof racks available for RC crawlers? — The integrated 16 LED light bar combined with aluminium construction sets this apart from basic plastic roof racks. The seamless integration of lighting creates a factory-fitted appearance that enhances both scale realism and visual impact, making it especially popular with UK RC enthusiasts who value authentic scale styling.
- Can I control the LEDs separately from the main vehicle power? — The standard installation connects the LEDs directly to the main power circuit, meaning they activate with the vehicle. To control them independently, you would need to install an aftermarket switch, which is a popular modification among RC hobbyists who want to manage battery consumption more precisely.
