Overview
The FTX Tracer Front/Rear Body Posts FTX9710 are essential replacement chassis spare parts designed for the FTX Tracer range of 1/16 scale RC monster trucks and truggy trucks. Whether you're a dedicated basher, a weekend racer, or someone exploring the exciting world of RC cars in the UK, these body posts are crucial components that keep your vehicle's body securely mounted to the chassis.

The Tracer body posts are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment, ensuring your RC monster truck or truggy performs exactly as intended.

Technical Performance
The FTX Tracer Front/Rear Body Posts are precision-engineered chassis spare components that represent the build quality and attention to detail FTX is known for throughout their RC vehicle range. As critical mounting points between the body shell and the chassis frame, these posts must withstand the stresses of acceleration, braking, cornering, and landing from jumps without flexing or failing. The posts are manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure they fit perfectly with the existing Tracer chassis design, whether you're working with the standard 1/16 RTR brushed motor variants or the more powerful brushless 4WD versions. The engineering behind these components means they maintain the structural integrity of your RC monster truck or truggy truck during high-speed bashing sessions across rough terrain, ensuring the body stays firmly mounted and doesn't rattle or shift during driving. For serious RC enthusiasts building complete spare assemblies or those needing replacements after accident damage, these posts provide the factory-fresh performance and reliability that only genuine OEM parts can deliver.
