Technical Performance
The FTX Stinger Bodyshell is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate or similar durable plastic materials that are specifically chosen for their balance of lightweight design and impact resistance. This bodyshell is designed to work seamlessly with the brushless motor and electronics found in the ready-to-run FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road street car, providing proper aerodynamic profile and weight distribution without interfering with suspension components, radio gear, or the brushless ESC and motor setup. The grey finish is applied to provide long-lasting colour vibrancy whilst remaining resistant to UV exposure and general handling wear. Installation is straightforward — the bodyshell simply mounts onto the existing chassis posts of your Stinger platform, requiring no modifications to your existing mechanical setup, electronics, or radio gear. The design accommodates the standard servo placement and antenna routing found on the Stinger, ensuring full compatibility with all electronic components. Whether you're running 2S or 3S LiPo batteries in your brushless Stinger, the bodyshell design ensures proper weight distribution and airflow to electronic components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX Stinger models is this bodyshell compatible with? — This grey bodyshell is specifically designed for and compatible with both the FTX5492G FTX Stinger 1/10 On-Road Street Brushless RTR Car in grey and the FTX5492R model in red, ensuring perfect fitment on either chassis.
- Is this a genuine FTX part or an aftermarket bodyshell? — This is a genuine, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) FTX bodyshell, not an aftermarket clone. Buying genuine FTX parts ensures perfect compatibility, reliable fitment, and the quality standards FTX is known for in the UK RC market.
- How difficult is it to fit a replacement bodyshell to my RC car? — Fitting a bodyshell is one of the simplest RC modifications you can perform. The bodyshell simply clips or mounts onto the existing body posts on your Stinger chassis. No tools, modifications, or mechanical knowledge is required — most users can complete installation in just a few minutes.
- Can I use this grey bodyshell on my red FTX Stinger? — Yes, absolutely. This bodyshell is designed to fit both the grey and red Stinger variants, so you can switch between colours, mix and match, or simply refresh the appearance of your existing model regardless of which version you own.
- Do I need to buy any additional parts to fit this bodyshell? — In most cases, no. If your FTX Stinger chassis already has bodyshell mounting posts installed, you simply mount the bodyshell directly. If you're unsure whether your specific Stinger model includes all mounting hardware, check the assembly instructions for your particular variant or contact our team for guidance.
- Is this bodyshell suitable for off-road use? — The FTX Stinger and this bodyshell are specifically designed for on-road street racing applications, not off-road terrain. If you're looking for an off-road replacement bodyshell, FTX produces dedicated crawler and buggy bodies designed for rough terrain.
- Can I paint or customise this grey bodyshell? — Yes. The polycarbonate construction of FTX bodyshells is compatible with polycarbonate-specific RC paints and spray applications. Many RC enthusiasts paint their bodyshells for custom designs. Alternatively, you can apply vinyl decals and stickers to personalise your Stinger without painting.
- What should I do if my bodyshell becomes damaged? — Polycarbonate bodyshells are inherently durable, but impacts can cause cracks or dents. Minor damage can often be repaired with plastic epoxy or plastic welding techniques. For significant damage, this replacement bodyshell offers an affordable solution to restore your Stinger to like-new condition.
