Technical Performance
The FTX Tracer Truck Body & Decal in Blue is engineered to work seamlessly with the complete Tracer lineup, which includes both standard and brushless motor variants ranging from the entry-level FTX5576B ready-to-run model through to the more powerful FTX5596B brushless variant. This bodyshell is also fully compatible with the entire BlackZon Slyder range, spanning both their Monster Truck and Stadium Truck configurations across multiple colour variants including Gold, Green, Blue, Orange, Red, and Yellow models. The pre-painted finish uses quality automotive-grade paint systems that provide excellent colour saturation and durability even under the demands of regular outdoor RC bashing and racing. The printed body material has been selected to deliver the optimal balance between weight savings and structural integrity—crucial for maintaining the responsive handling characteristics and acceleration performance these 1/16th scale RC vehicles are known for. The included decal sheet features professional-grade vinyl graphics that adhere securely to the painted surface and resist fading from sun exposure and weather conditions. Whether you're running on 2S or 3S LiPo batteries (depending on your compatible chassis configuration), this bodyshell will help your FTX Tracer or BlackZon Slyder achieve maximum visual impact whilst maintaining the aerodynamic efficiency the design provides across various terrain types.
