Whether you're restoring a damaged body, customising your RC truck's appearance, or simply refreshing your model with a fresh look, this genuine FTX replacement part offers the perfect solution. The clear polycarbonate construction allows for custom painting and detailing, giving RC enthusiasts the freedom to create a truly unique aesthetic for their 1/10 scale RC truck.
This product is ideal for serious RC hobbyists and competitive drivers who demand genuine OEM quality parts that fit perfectly first time.

The included decal set provides authentic branding and scale detailing that complements the trophy truck's aggressive styling. Whether you're competing in off-road racing events, bashing at local RC tracks, or simply enjoying weekend RC driving sessions across the UK, the Apache Clear Body & Decal ensures your truck looks as impressive as it performs.
