Overview
The FTX Zorro/Bugsta Front and Rear Body Posts (2Pc) FTX6948 are essential replacement chassis components designed specifically for FTX's popular 1/10 scale RC models. Whether you're running the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck in brushed or brushless configuration, the FTX Bugsta 4WD Off-Road Buggy, or compatible variants like the FTX Carnage 2.0 Monster Truck, these body posts are critical structural elements that keep your bodyshell securely mounted and properly aligned. As a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK, maintaining spare chassis parts like body posts ensures your RC car UK collection stays race-ready and performing at its peak.
Body posts are the vertical support pillars that connect your RC model's bodyshell to the chassis frame. Over time, through regular bashing, racing, or competitive use, these components can become cracked, bent, or worn. Having quality replacement body posts on hand means you can quickly get your ready to run RC vehicle back into action without extended downtime. The FTX6948 set provides both front and rear posts, giving you everything needed to restore your model to factory specifications and ensure your bodyshell sits perfectly aligned on the chassis.
These replacement parts are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original FTX components, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance. Whether you're a serious RC racer preparing for competition, a weekend basher exploring the capabilities of your off-road buggy or trophy truck, or someone who simply wants to maintain their RC collection in top condition, the FTX Zorro/Bugsta body posts represent a cost-effective insurance policy for keeping your model in the field.
Key Features
- Genuine FTX Manufactured Components — These body posts are produced to exact OEM specifications by FTX, guaranteeing precise fitment and compatibility with your specific RC model without any modifications or adjustments needed.
- Two-Piece Set with Front and Rear Posts — The package includes both front and rear body posts, meaning you can replace damaged or worn posts across the entire bodyshell mounting system in one convenient purchase.
- Universal Compatibility Across Multiple FTX Models — These posts are engineered to fit the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck range (including brushed and brushless variants), the FTX Bugsta 4WD Off-Road Buggy, the FTX Carnage 2.0 Monster Truck, and FTX Zorro Nitro models, making them a versatile addition to any FTX RC car UK collection.
- Chassis Spare Part Classification — Designed specifically as a chassis component, these body posts integrate seamlessly with your model's frame and suspension geometry for optimal performance and handling characteristics.
- Affordable Replacement Solution — Rather than replacing an entire bodyshell or chassis assembly when body posts sustain damage, these targeted replacement parts offer exceptional value and quick restoration capability.
- Essential Maintenance Component — Regular inspection and replacement of body posts is part of professional RC model maintenance, ensuring your body stays securely mounted and your model remains roadworthy for reliable performance on track or trail.
Technical Performance
Body posts are fundamental structural elements in RC model construction, responsible for maintaining the precise vertical spacing between the chassis frame and the bodyshell. The FTX Zorro/Bugsta body posts are engineered to withstand the forces generated during high-speed running, jumping, and aggressive cornering that characterises competitive RC buggy and trophy truck racing. These components must maintain dimensional stability and resist flexing or bending, which would cause the bodyshell to shift position and negatively impact aerodynamics, weight distribution, and overall handling characteristics. FTX manufactures these posts from durable plastic materials capable of absorbing impact and vibration whilst maintaining precise alignment. The two-piece configuration allows comprehensive coverage of both the front and rear mounting points on your chassis frame, ensuring your bodyshell remains perfectly positioned whether you're running the brushed or brushless 1/10 scale Zorro Trophy Truck, the lightweight Bugsta buggy platform, or the powerful Carnage 2.0 monster truck. By maintaining original equipment body posts in good condition, you preserve your RC model's intended weight distribution, aerodynamic profile, and chassis geometry for optimal performance and handling predictability.
