Technical Performance
The FTX Tracker PVC Rain Shield is engineered from high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a material selected specifically for its water resistance properties and durability in outdoor RC environments. PVC is renowned in the RC hobby for its lightweight nature combined with robust weather protection capabilities, making it an ideal choice for rain shields and protective covers. The shield's design incorporates strategic coverage that protects the Tracker's electronics, including the receiver, speed controller and servo systems, from rain and moisture splashing during wet weather operation. The engineering ensures that protective coverage is maintained without impeding steering response, throttle control, or the vehicle's centre of gravity. This balance between protection and performance is critical in competitive RC racing and recreational bashing applications across the UK, where weather conditions can change rapidly. The lightweight PVC construction means there is no noticeable impact on the Tracker's acceleration, top speed capability or battery runtime, making this an invisible upgrade that works in the background to extend component life. Water ingress is one of the primary causes of electronic failure in RC vehicles, and this genuine FTX shield significantly reduces that risk during wet weather sessions.
