- OEM genuine component — Being an original FTX spare part, this chassis is manufactured to exact specifications and guarantees perfect compatibility with FTX Stinger and EVO30 models without any fitment issues or compromises.
- Brushless-compatible design — This chassis is engineered specifically for brushless motor setups found in the Stinger 1/10 brushless RTR and EVO30 brushless variants, optimising weight distribution and electrical routing for maximum performance.
- Street-optimised platform — Designed specifically for on-road driving on asphalt and smooth surfaces, this chassis geometry provides the stability and responsiveness needed for competitive street racing and weekend RC car UK driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Stinger Main Chassis compatible with EVO30 models? — Yes, this chassis is compatible with both the FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless street cars and the FTX EVO30 1/10 street cars. The compatibility extends across red, grey, and black variants of both model lines, as well as both brushed and brushless versions of the EVO30.
- What is the purpose of the integrated battery brace? — The battery brace securely mounts and holds your LiPo battery in place during driving, preventing battery movement that could affect weight distribution, handling balance, and overall driving characteristics. Proper battery mounting is essential for consistent performance on high-speed street courses.
- Is this an OEM genuine part or a replica? — This is a genuine OEM FTX spare part, manufactured by FTX to original specifications. Purchasing from RC Model Shop as an authorised retailer ensures you receive authentic components, not aftermarket substitutes or counterfeits that could compromise fitment or performance.
- Can I use this chassis for off-road driving? — This chassis is specifically engineered for on-road street racing on asphalt and smooth surfaces. While it shares some design principles with off-road platforms, it is optimised for the different demands of street driving, including higher speed runs and cornering on paved surfaces, rather than the jumps and rough terrain of off-road bashers.
- What happens if my chassis becomes damaged? — If your existing chassis is bent, cracked, or severely damaged from crashes or heavy use, replacing it with a new FTX10500 ensures your vehicle returns to factory specifications and performance standards. The battery brace will also be undamaged and function perfectly for secure battery mounting.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
