Overview
The FTX Vantage Printed EP Buggy Body in black is an authentic replacement bodyshell designed for the FTX Vantage range of electric RC buggies. This pre-painted shell offers an excellent way to refresh your 1/10 scale RC buggy or create a completely new look for your existing Vantage model. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to customise your brushless RC buggy or someone exploring the world of electric-powered RC cars in the UK, this bodyshell provides genuine FTX quality and compatibility. The striking black finish delivers a classic, aggressive appearance that suits both casual bashing and more competitive track use.
As a pre-painted component, this bodyshell significantly reduces the time and effort required to get your RC buggy race-ready. Rather than spending hours applying primer, base coats and clear lacquer, you can simply apply the included decals and hit the ground running. This makes it an ideal upgrade for RC enthusiasts who want to keep their buggy fresh and distinctive without the lengthy preparation process. The black colour is timeless and professional, making it perfect for anyone wanting a clean, no-nonsense aesthetic for their 1/10 4WD RC buggy.
It's important to note that whilst this shell is compatible with several Vantage models in the FTX range, it does not fit the Vantage 2.0 Brushless variant. Always check compatibility before purchasing to ensure you select the correct bodyshell for your specific model. This bodyshell is suitable for the FTX Vantage Brushed Buggy, FTX Vantage Brushless Buggy, and FTX Vantage Brushed 2.0 Buggy.

Importantly, it is NOT compatible with the Vantage 2.0 Brushless model, so please verify your specific Vantage variant before purchasing.
- Is this a ready-to-use bodyshell or does it require preparation? — The shell arrives pre-painted in black, requiring no spray work or painting.

- Will this bodyshell fit my Vantage 2.0 Brushless buggy? — No, this bodyshell is specifically unsuitable for the Vantage 2.0 Brushless model.
