Technical Performance
The FTX Stinger Bodyshell represents precision tooling and engineering designed to match the exacting performance standards of the FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road brushless platform. Manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, the clear shell delivers structural rigidity whilst allowing complete visibility of the internal brushless motor system, speed controller electronics and chassis components that drive the Stinger's impressive performance characteristics. The bodyshell is engineered to provide aerodynamic efficiency during high-speed runs, with carefully sculpted lines that minimise drag and maintain stability during competitive driving or casual bashing on tarmac surfaces. At 190mm in length, this bodyshell is proportioned precisely for the 1/10 scale, delivering authentic styling that complements the Stinger's renowned on-road handling and acceleration. The clear construction is particularly suited to brushless RC car enthusiasts who appreciate seeing their high-performance electronics and motor system in action, whilst the transparent design does not compromise durability or protective function. Installation is designed to be straightforward, utilising the standard FTX body mounting system to secure the shell firmly to the chassis, ensuring it remains in place during aggressive driving and high-speed manoeuvres.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Stinger Bodyshell compatible with my RC car? — This bodyshell is designed specifically for the FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road brushless models, including the FTX5492G and FTX5492R. If you own one of these ready to run RC cars, this shell is a direct fit replacement or upgrade component.
- What are the dimensions and scale of this bodyshell? — The FTX Stinger Bodyshell is engineered for 1/10 scale on-road street RC cars and measures 190mm in length, making it appropriately proportioned for the Stinger platform.
- Why choose a clear bodyshell over a coloured alternative? — A clear bodyshell offers a unique aesthetic advantage by allowing you to showcase the internal brushless motor system, speed controller and chassis components of your RC car. This transparency is particularly appealing to enthusiasts who want to display the engineering and electronics of their vehicle, and it creates a striking visual presentation that distinguishes your Stinger from standard painted shells. Additionally, the clear design is ideal if you want to monitor your electronics during operation.
- Can I paint the clear bodyshell? — Whilst the source material does not provide specific guidance on painting, many RC enthusiasts do apply paint and decals to clear polycarbonate shells to create custom designs. We recommend consulting FTX customer support or experienced RC community members for best practices on painting this component.
- How do I install this bodyshell on my Stinger? — The FTX Stinger Bodyshell uses the standard FTX body mounting system integrated into the Stinger chassis. Installation involves securing the shell using the existing body posts and mounting hardware, a process that typically takes just a few minutes. Refer to your Stinger manual for detailed installation instructions.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a bodyshell component rather than a complete RC car, so it is best suited to existing Stinger owners who need a replacement or upgrade shell. If you are new to RC cars and do not already own a Stinger, we recommend purchasing a complete FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road brushless ready to run RTR kit first.
- What is the difference between the clear shell and coloured alternatives? — The primary difference is aesthetic. The clear shell allows visibility of internal components and creates a unique visual presentation, whilst coloured shells provide a more traditional painted appearance. Both offer the same structural durability and fitment precision. Your choice depends on whether you prefer to display your electronics or maintain a classic painted bodywork look.
