Technical Performance
The FTX Tracker Inner Side Plates represent genuine manufacturer engineering designed to withstand the demanding requirements of rock crawling and off-road RC driving. As structural chassis components, these plates work in conjunction with the frame to create a rigid yet capable platform capable of handling aggressive terrain whilst protecting sensitive mechanical components from environmental hazards. The left and right configuration ensures balanced structural integrity across the entire chassis, maintaining symmetrical weight distribution and proper suspension geometry critical for predictable handling characteristics. FTX has engineered these plates from materials selected for their durability and impact resistance, properties essential when negotiating rocky outcrops, ruts and obstacles encountered during trail driving. Whether your FTX Tracker is equipped with standard or upgraded suspension components, these inner side plates maintain full compatibility with all Tracker variants and optional hop-up configurations. The precise manufacturing tolerances ensure gap-free fitment against the chassis frame, eliminating rattles and maximising component longevity. Regular inspection and replacement of these plates as part of routine maintenance prevents secondary damage to more expensive internal components, making them a cost-effective investment in long-term vehicle reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need replacement inner side plates for my FTX Tracker? — The inner side plates form part of the chassis structure and protect internal mechanical components. During regular off-road use, they can sustain minor cracks or dents from impacts with rocks and terrain obstacles. Keeping spare plates ensures you can maintain your RC crawler in optimal condition and prevent damage spreading to more expensive internal systems like the transmission or differential.
- Are these genuine FTX parts or aftermarket alternatives? — The FTX Tracker Inner Side Plates FTX10261 are genuine OEM manufacturer components, not aftermarket substitutes. This ensures perfect fitment, correct material specifications and full compatibility with your FTX Tracker chassis assembly, giving you confidence in quality and durability.
- How difficult is it to install replacement side plates? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic mechanical skills and standard hand tools. The plates bolt directly onto the existing chassis frame without requiring modification or special equipment, making replacement accessible to most RC enthusiasts regardless of experience level.
- Will these side plates fit all FTX Tracker models? — These inner side plates are specifically engineered for the FTX Tracker rock crawler platform. Always verify your vehicle model matches before ordering to ensure compatibility, though they are designed as standard equipment across the Tracker range.
- Should I replace both sides at the same time? — Since this spare part includes both left and right plates as a matched pair, it's sensible to replace them together to maintain balanced structural integrity across both sides of the chassis. This symmetrical approach ensures consistent handling and appearance.
- How long do inner side plates typically last? — Lifespan depends entirely on usage intensity and terrain difficulty. Weekend bashers might enjoy many seasons of operation, whilst competitive crawlers tackling extreme terrain may need replacement after a season of regular use. Inspect regularly as part of routine maintenance.
