Technical Performance
The FTX TRACER TRUCK BODY & DECAL - YELLOW OPTION is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the FTX Tracer 1/16th scale 4WD monster truck platform. At 1/16th scale, this body delivers impressive visual presence while maintaining the compact footprint that makes the Tracer ideal for bashers and competitive drivers alike. The pre-painted yellow finish is applied to high-quality printed plastic construction that balances durability with weight efficiency — critical considerations in RC engineering where chassis performance depends on optimal weight distribution. The material resists cracking and warping under normal use, maintaining its shape through repeated impacts with obstacles, terrain and other vehicles. The included decal sheet comprises professionally designed graphics that align with the body's contours, allowing builders to achieve a fully customised, show-quality appearance. Installation is straightforward: the bodyshell mounts via the existing body posts and body clips found on the FTX Tracer chassis, requiring no modification to the host vehicle. The yellow colouration offers excellent visibility during outdoor driving sessions, making it easier to track your truck's position and orientation during high-speed manoeuvres. Compatibility with BlackZon Slyder models (including ST and MT variants in multiple colours) confirms that this bodyshell meets broader 1/16th scale truck specifications, ensuring excellent fitment across multiple platforms within the FTX and BlackZon product families.

Always verify fitment before ordering for non-Tracer platforms.

The factory finish is professional-grade and requires no additional preparation. Simply apply the included decals and mount to your chassis using the existing body clips and posts.
- What is included with the body shell? — The FTX9792 includes the pre-painted yellow truck bodyshell and a comprehensive decal sheet featuring custom graphics and branding details that match the truck's colour scheme and design aesthetic.
- Will the decals stick properly to the curved body surface? — Yes, FTX decals are designed to conform to the bodyshell's contours. Clean the body surface with a soft, dry cloth before application to ensure maximum adhesion. For best results, apply decals in a warm environment and smooth out any air bubbles using firm, even pressure.
- Can I use this body on the FTX Tracer Brushless version? — Yes, this bodyshell is compatible with both brushed and brushless variants of the FTX Tracer 1/16th scale monster truck. The body attaches to the chassis via standard mounting points that remain consistent across the platform range.
- How durable is the printed plastic construction? — The printed plastic material is engineered for durability and impact resistance, withstanding repeated bashings, collisions and environmental exposure. However, like all RC bodyshells, it can crack or puncture from severe impacts. Minor damage can often be repaired with plastic epoxy or CA adhesive. Replacement shells are available when damage becomes extensive.
- What colour options are available for the FTX Tracer body? — The FTX Tracer truck body is available in multiple colours including yellow (FTX9792), orange (FTX9739) and blue (FTX9740).

- Is this an official FTX product? — Yes, the FTX TRACER TRUCK BODY & DECAL - YELLOW OPTION is a genuine FTX component manufactured to the brand's quality standards and specifications. It is not a third-party aftermarket alternative.
- How does the yellow colour compare to other available options? — Yellow provides excellent visibility during outdoor driving sessions, making it easier to track your truck during high-speed manoeuvres. It stands out distinctly from the orange and blue options whilst maintaining the vibrant, eye-catching appearance that monster truck bodyshells are known for. Choose based on personal preference and visibility requirements for your driving environment.
