Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the FTX Carnage ST printed body compatible with my RC truck? — This body shell is specifically designed for the FTX Carnage 2.0 1/10 brushed truck in both red and blue RTR variants, as well as the FTX Bugsta 4WD brushed off-road buggy RTR. Before purchasing, verify that your chassis has a 290mm wheelbase and matches one of these compatible platforms. If you own a different FTX model, check the detailed compatibility information to ensure proper fitment.
• What does pre-painted mean and why does it matter? — Pre-painted means the body arrives fully finished in black colour, eliminating the requirement for primer, paint, and curing time. This saves you dozens of hours compared to painting a plain plastic shell yourself, and professional-grade paint application ensures an even, durable finish that won't chip or fade easily. For UK RC enthusiasts, this means you can have your truck running with a fresh new look in minutes rather than days.
• Does this body come with decals and how do I apply them? — Yes, a comprehensive decal sheet is included with this body shell. Decals are self-adhesive; carefully cut them from the sheet using sharp scissors or a hobby knife, peel the backing, and apply them to the clean, dry body surface. Press firmly to ensure good adhesion, working from the centre outwards to avoid air bubbles. Allow decals to cure for 24 hours before running your RC truck.
• Will this body fit my brushless RC setup? — Absolutely. This body is designed for 1/10 scale brushless platforms with a 290mm wheelbase, including the FTX Carnage 2.0 brushless configurations. The lightweight printed construction won't interfere with your brushless motor, ESC, or battery system, allowing your brushless power plant to deliver full performance without weight restrictions.
• What is the difference between the Carnage ST and other Carnage bodies? — The Carnage ST represents FTX's latest evolution in body design for the Carnage platform, featuring updated proportions and styling that enhance the truggy and stadium truck aesthetic. The printed construction and pre-painted black finish make it a modern, user-friendly alternative to earlier Carnage body variants, offering superior aesthetics with minimal preparation required.
• Can I use this body on a nitro RC truck? — This body is engineered specifically for the FTX Carnage 2.0 brushed RTR and FTX Bugsta platforms. Whilst the dimensions may physically fit some nitro truck chassis, we cannot recommend using this body on nitro platforms as it hasn't been tested for compatibility with nitro engine heat and vibration characteristics. Stick with brushed or brushless electric platforms for guaranteed performance.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this body shell is excellent for beginners. The pre-painted finish requires no painting skills, the included decals add visual appeal with minimal effort, and installation simply involves securing the body to your existing RC chassis. If you already own an FTX Carnage 2.0 or Bugsta RTR, upgrading with this new body is a straightforward, confidence-building first modification project.
