Key Features
- Perfect Fit Design — This hull cover is engineered specifically for the FTX Glader Turbojet RC speed boat, ensuring it fits snugly without excess material that could trap moisture or leave parts exposed to damage.
- Vibrant Green Colour — The bright green finish matches the green variant of the Glader Turbojet, creating a cohesive and professional appearance when your boat is stored or displayed.
- Dust and Debris Protection — The cover shields your boat's hull and components from airborne dust, pet hair, and environmental contaminants that can accumulate during storage, reducing the need for frequent cleaning before use.
- UV Protection — Storing your RC boat indoors or under cover protects the hull paint and decals from fading caused by sunlight exposure, which is particularly important for maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your investment.
- Genuine OEM Component — As an official FTX accessory, this hull cover is manufactured to the same quality standards as the boat itself, guaranteeing compatibility and durability.
- Lightweight and Portable — The cover is easy to put on and remove, making it convenient for regular use without adding significant bulk to your RC boat storage setup.

Technical Performance
The FTX Glader Turbojet Boat Hull Cover is manufactured from quality materials designed to withstand the demands of RC boat ownership and storage. At 35 centimetres in length, your Glader Turbojet is a substantial speed boat that requires appropriate protective storage solutions, and this OEM hull cover has been engineered to accommodate the boat's unique hull contours and aerodynamic design. The cover is constructed to be durable yet lightweight, allowing it to be handled easily without adding unnecessary weight to your RC collection. The material selection balances protection against mechanical damage with breathability to minimise moisture accumulation inside the cover during storage. When properly used, this hull cover will protect your boat's hull finish, decals, and exposed electronics from scratches, dust, and environmental exposure that can degrade performance and appearance over time. The snug fit prevents the cover from shifting during storage or transport, ensuring consistent protection regardless of how your boat is positioned or moved around your RC hobby space.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What boats does the FTX Glader Turbojet hull cover fit? — This hull cover is specifically designed for the FTX Glader Turbojet RC speed boat in both red and green colour variants. The cover fits the 35-centimetre long hull perfectly. If you own a different FTX boat model, you will need a different hull cover designed for that specific boat, as RC boat hulls vary significantly in shape and dimensions.
- Why do I need a hull cover for my RC boat? — A dedicated hull cover protects your boat from dust, debris, UV damage, and minor scratches during storage. Over time, these environmental factors can fade the paint, degrade decals, and allow dust to accumulate in crevices and around sensitive electronics. By using a proper hull cover, you'll extend the lifespan of your boat's appearance and reduce the maintenance required before each use.
- Can I use a generic RC boat cover instead? — While generic covers might provide some protection, they often do not fit properly on specific boat models like the Glader Turbojet, potentially leaving gaps that expose vulnerable areas or bunching up in ways that trap moisture. The FTX Glader Turbojet hull cover is engineered specifically for your boat's contours, ensuring complete and proper coverage.
- Is this cover suitable for outdoor storage? — This cover is designed primarily for indoor storage and protection from dust and UV exposure. For outdoor storage in wet conditions, you may want to consider additional weather-resistant storage solutions. Always store your RC boat in a dry location to prevent water damage to electronics and mechanical components.
- How do I clean the hull cover? — Simply wipe down the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. If necessary, you can gently clean the cover with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to dry completely before storing your boat. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the cover's finish.
- Will the cover protect my boat during transport? — Yes, the hull cover provides protection during short transport trips by preventing dust and debris from settling on your boat. However, for longer journeys or rough handling, you may want to consider a protective transport case or bag that offers more robust impact protection in addition to the hull cover.
