Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this bodyshell compatible with all FTX Zorro models? — This bodyshell is specifically designed for the FTX5557WO FTX Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless RTR. Whilst the Zorro platform is the primary fitment, compatibility with other Zorro variants should be verified before purchase. This is the authentic factory replacement body for the brushless version.
- Do I need to paint this bodyshell when it arrives? — No, this bodyshell arrives completely pre-painted in orange and white, eliminating painting and preparation time. You can install it directly onto your chassis and begin running immediately, making it ideal for busy RC enthusiasts who want to spend more time driving and less time in the workshop.
- What material is the bodyshell made from? — The Zorro bodyshell is manufactured from polycarbonate, a premium plastic material widely used in professional RC racing. Polycarbonate offers superior impact resistance compared to standard plastics whilst remaining lightweight, crucial for maintaining the performance characteristics of your brushless electric truck.
- Will this bodyshell work with my existing Zorro setup? — Yes, assuming you own an FTX Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless RTR (model FTX5557WO), this bodyshell will install without modification. The fitment is engineered by FTX to factory specifications, so no drilling, cutting, or adjustment is required. Installation simply involves removing your old shell and mounting the new one using your existing hardware.
- Can I personalise the appearance with the included decals? — Absolutely. The bodyshell includes a comprehensive decal sheet that allows you to add race numbers, team logos, sponsor graphics, or custom branding. The decals are designed specifically for the Zorro body shape, ensuring perfect alignment and professional appearance once applied.
- Is this suitable for competitive racing? — Yes, as an original factory bodyshell from FTX, this shell meets all specifications required for FTX-sanctioned competition. The accurate aerodynamics and professional finish make it an excellent choice for trophy truck racing formats where appearance and authenticity are valued alongside performance.
- How durable is the polycarbonate material? — Polycarbonate is one of the most durable materials used in RC bodyshell manufacturing. It resists impacts far better than painted fibreglass or thin plastic alternatives, making it ideal for the rigorous demands of high-speed off-road running, jumps, and crashes. The material is UV-resistant, so it maintains colour vibrancy and structural integrity during extended outdoor use common in the UK RC hobby.
