Key Features

• Premium Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate material, which provides excellent durability, impact resistance, and flex characteristics essential for protecting your RC car's chassis during impacts and off-road adventures. This material is the industry standard for RC bodywork because it absorbs energy effectively and resists cracking under stress.
• Pre-Trimmed Design — This bodyshell arrives ready to use with all the necessary trim lines already cut, saving you valuable preparation time. You can move straight to fitting it onto your FTX Stinger chassis or begin painting and decorating without the tedious task of carefully measuring and cutting window and wheel arch openings yourself.
• Clear Finish — The transparent clear coating offers maximum creative freedom, allowing you to paint the shell your preferred colour, apply custom graphics, or leave it clear to display the precision engineering of your RC car's chassis and components. This versatility makes it suitable for any aesthetic preference or racing team colour scheme.
• Includes Decal Sheet — A complete decal sheet is included in the package, providing authentic racing graphics, sponsor logos, and trim details that you can apply to create a professionally finished appearance without requiring additional purchases or custom printing services.
• Direct Compatibility — This bodyshell is specifically engineered to fit both the FTX Stinger 1/10 On-Road Street Brushless RTR in grey (FTX5492G) and the red variant (FTX5492R), ensuring perfect fitment and alignment with no modification required to your chassis or mounting hardware.
• 1/10 Scale Touring Car Class — Designed for the competitive 1/10th touring car class, this bodyshell delivers the aerodynamic profile and scale proportions that enthusiasts expect from modern on-road RC racing machines, making it ideal for circuit racing, street bashing, and display.

Technical Performance

The FTX Stinger Bodyshell represents a significant upgrade opportunity for owners of the FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road brushless RC car. As a replacement body component, this shell is precision-manufactured from professional-grade polycarbonate that meets the exacting standards required for competitive 1/10 touring car racing in the UK and internationally. The material thickness and construction method ensure that the bodyshell maintains structural integrity during high-speed runs whilst remaining light enough to avoid negatively impacting the performance characteristics of your brushless-powered chassis. The pre-trimmed format means all window openings, wheel arch cutouts, and mounting points are already precisely cut to factory specifications, eliminating the risk of misalignment or improper fitment that can occur with untrimmed shells. The clear finish allows light penetration for display purposes or serves as a perfect canvas for custom paint work and graphics application. Whether you're running a competition-grade brushless ESC or enjoying weekend bashing sessions, this bodyshell will perform reliably and maintain its appearance through numerous charging cycles and driving sessions. The included decal sheet adds authentic branding and scale detail that enhances the overall presentation of your 1/10 touring car without requiring separate graphic design or printing services.
