Key Features
- Pack of Four Posts — This set provides all four bracket posts needed to completely re-mount or repair your FTX Kanyon's bodyshell, ensuring you have a full system replacement rather than just a temporary fix.

- Compatible with Kanyon Range — Specifically engineered for both the FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR and the FTX Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR models, ensuring complete compatibility across the Kanyon family of crawlers.
- Essential Structural Support — These bracket posts maintain the bodyshell in the correct position relative to the chassis, which is critical for proper weight distribution and handling characteristics during crawling sessions.
- Affordable Replacement Solution — Rather than replacing an entire body, these inexpensive bracket posts allow you to restore damaged mounting systems quickly and economically, extending the life of your crawler.

Technical Performance
The FTX Kanyon Body Bracket Posts represent the kind of precision engineering that separates quality RC spares from inferior alternatives. These posts are engineered to maintain the exact spacing and alignment of your bodyshell relative to the chassis and suspension components, which is vital for the proper operation of your 1/10 scale crawler. The Kanyon platform is known for its impressive articulation and genuine off-road capability, and the bodyshell mounting system must withstand the forces generated by the vehicle's powerful brushless motor and 4WD drivetrain during technical rock crawling. The bracket posts are manufactured from durable plastic composite materials that balance rigidity with the slight flexibility needed to prevent cracking under the torsional stresses of extreme articulation. Installation of these posts is straightforward, as they simply clip or bolt into the designated mounting points on both the chassis and the bodyshell, providing secure attachment without requiring any permanent modification to either component. For owners of the high-speed variant or the mountain rescue edition, these bracket posts ensure that your bodyshell remains perfectly aligned regardless of terrain conditions. The durability of these parts means they'll provide reliable service through countless hours of trail crawling, whether you're tackling rock gardens, overland expeditions, or casual weekend driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these bracket posts compatible with all FTX Kanyon models? — These bracket posts are specifically designed for the FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR (model FTX5563) and the FTX Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR (model FTX5563R). If you own either of these authentic Kanyon crawlers, these parts will fit perfectly without any modification.
- Why would I need replacement bracket posts for my RC crawler? — Body bracket posts can become damaged through impacts, cracks from extreme articulation, or wear from repeated mounting and dismounting of the bodyshell. Replacing them restores your Kanyon's structural integrity and ensures your bodyshell sits in the correct position, which is essential for maintaining the vehicle's handling and appearance.
- Can I install these myself, or do I need to visit an RC shop? — These are straightforward replacement parts that any RC enthusiast can install at home. No special tools or technical expertise is required—simply remove the damaged posts and install the new ones in their place. Most installations take just a few minutes.
- How many posts do I need, and why are there four in this pack? — The FTX Kanyon uses four body bracket posts positioned at the corners of the bodyshell to secure it to the chassis. This pack of four ensures you can replace all posts at once, providing a complete, uniform mounting system rather than mixing old and new components.
- Are these genuine FTX parts or aftermarket replacements? — These are genuine FTX original equipment parts manufactured to factory specifications. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you receive authentic FTX components that guarantee perfect fitment and durability with your Kanyon crawler.
- What is the difference between these bracket posts and those on other FTX models? — The Kanyon's bracket posts are specifically engineered for this model's unique body design and chassis layout. Whilst other FTX crawlers may have similar posts, they are not interchangeable due to differences in mounting hole positions and spacing requirements.
