Overview
The FTX Rokatan Body Posts Only (4) are essential replacement and upgrade components for your FTX Rokatan RC model. These body posts are precision-engineered parts designed to securely mount and position your vehicle's bodyshell, ensuring proper fitment and alignment on your RC car. Whether you're a dedicated hobbyist looking to maintain your RC collection or someone seeking spare parts for repairs, these body posts deliver the quality and reliability that FTX is known for throughout the UK RC community.
Body posts are critical structural components in any RC car setup. They form the connection points between your chassis and the body shell, and their condition directly affects how your vehicle looks and performs. If your existing body posts are damaged, worn, or missing, replacing them with genuine FTX parts ensures you maintain the authentic fitment and appearance your Rokatan deserves. This four-pack gives you a complete set for a single vehicle, or provides spare posts for future maintenance needs.
For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking reliable spare parts and hop-ups, FTX has established itself as a trusted name in the electric RC car market. The Rokatan benefits from a comprehensive range of official spares and upgrade options, making it straightforward to keep your model in peak condition. These body posts represent the kind of essential maintenance item that every serious RC hobbyist should keep on hand as part of their spares collection.

- Official FTX Part — As a genuine manufacturer component, these body posts are engineered to exact specifications for perfect fitment and compatibility with your FTX Rokatan model.
- Quality Construction — FTX body posts are manufactured to withstand the demands of regular RC car operation, maintaining their integrity through countless bashing sessions and maintenance cycles.
- Easy Replacement — These posts are simple to install, making them an ideal spare part for quick repairs and maintenance without requiring specialist tools or technical knowledge.

Technical Performance
Body posts serve a fundamental function in RC car design, acting as the vertical support structure that holds the bodyshell away from the chassis and allows proper clearance for moving components underneath. The FTX Rokatan Body Posts are manufactured to maintain consistent dimensions and material properties, ensuring that replacement posts match the performance characteristics of the originals. This consistency is vital because even slight variations in post height or material rigidity can affect how your bodyshell sits, how aerodynamic forces interact with the vehicle during high-speed runs, and how the overall aesthetic presentation appears. These posts are typically produced from durable polymer or composite materials selected for their balance of strength and light weight, important characteristics for maintaining your RC car's performance envelope. Whether you're running your Rokatan on a track, across rough terrain, or through challenging off-road conditions, quality body posts contribute to structural integrity and help prevent damage to the bodyshell itself. The four-post configuration ensures balanced support and prevents twisting or misalignment of the bodyshell, which is especially important if you're pushing your model hard during competitive driving or challenging terrain exploration.
