Perfect for those looking to get into rock crawling for the first time, or experienced enthusiasts wanting a quality spare body or alternative finish option.
This bodyshell comes complete with window masks and a decal sheet, making assembly and customisation straightforward. The half-print finish means the body arrives with professional paint application already applied to key areas, allowing you to either complete the paint job yourself or use it as-is for an authentic, realistic appearance.

Key Features
- Half-Print Factory Finish — The body arrives with professional pre-painting already applied to prominent areas, significantly reducing the time and effort required to achieve a finished look compared to unpainted bodyshells. This factory finish maintains excellent quality control standards and allows either completion of custom painting or use immediately as-is, giving you flexibility in how you finish your rock crawler.
- Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, which provides excellent impact resistance and flexibility during crawling and rock obstacles. This material choice ensures the body can withstand the demands of off-road terrain whilst remaining lightweight, contributing to better overall vehicle performance and durability.
- Includes Window Masks — Window masks are included with this body shell, making the painting and finishing process significantly easier and more professional-looking. These masks protect glass areas during spray painting and allow you to achieve clean, precise paint lines without requiring masking tape work, saving time during the build or restoration process.
- Decal Sheet Included — A complete decal sheet is provided, allowing you to add authentic graphics and branding to your finished rock crawler. This transforms a plain painted body into a detailed scale model with realistic markings, hugely enhancing the visual appeal of your 1/18 scale RC car without requiring additional purchases.
- Purpose-Built for 1/18 Scale Rock Crawlers — This body shell is specifically engineered for 1/18 scale rock crawling applications, ensuring perfect fitment and proportions for the FTX Utah LCG2 platform. Rock crawlers demand different body proportions than on-road or stadium truck RC cars, and this dedicated design ensures authentic scaling and optimal weight distribution.
- FTX Manufacturer Quality — As an official FTX component, this bodyshell meets the brand's exacting quality standards and is guaranteed to fit FTX Utah LCG2 models perfectly. FTX has established itself as a trusted brand in the affordable RC hobby sector, offering reliable components backed by genuine manufacturer support and compatibility guarantees.
Technical Performance
The FTX Utah LCG2 Body represents solid engineering focused on the unique demands of 1/18 scale rock crawling. The polycarbonate material selection is particularly important for this application, as rock crawlers encounter obstacles, impacts with terrain, and contact with rocks that would damage less resilient materials. Polycarbonate offers the perfect balance of impact absorption and rigidity, allowing the body to flex slightly upon impact without cracking or permanently deforming. The half-print finish provides a professional appearance whilst reducing the requirement for expensive spray equipment and paint materials if you're building your first RC crawler. The inclusion of window masks demonstrates FTX's understanding of the build process, ensuring that even first-time builders can achieve clean paint lines and a professional finish. For UK RC enthusiasts building a 1/18 scale crawler setup, this bodyshell offers the perfect foundation for a capable, good-looking rock crawler without requiring advanced painting skills or specialist equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Utah LCG2 bodyshell suitable for beginners building their first RC rock crawler? — Absolutely. The half-print finish and included window masks make this an ideal choice for builders new to RC cars. The pre-applied paint reduces the need for advanced spray painting skills, and the window masks ensure you can achieve professional results even without painting experience. The included decals then allow you to create an impressive finished appearance without additional costs or expertise.
- What scale is the FTX Utah LCG2 body shell designed for? — This bodyshell is specifically designed for 1/18 scale rock crawlers, making it ideal for compact off-road RC vehicles. This scale is popular in the UK for beginners and those wanting more affordable RC crawling options compared to larger scales, whilst still delivering impressive scale detail and capability.
- What material is this bodyshell made from? — The FTX Utah LCG2 bodyshell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for its excellent impact resistance and flexibility. This ensures it can handle the rough terrain and obstacles encountered during rock crawling without cracking or breaking, making it far superior to cheaper plastic alternatives.
- Do I need to paint this bodyshell? — The half-print finish means the body arrives with professional pre-painting applied to key areas. You can use it as-is for an authentic look, or you can complete custom painting to your own specifications using the window masks provided. This flexibility means you can choose your own finishing timeline and style.
- What else do I need to complete a rock crawler build? — This bodyshell is purely the body component. To complete a functional 1/18 scale rock crawler, you will also need a chassis platform, motor, ESC (electronic speed controller), battery and charger, radio system, suspension components, wheels and tyres, and servo. FTX offers complete ready-built kits if you prefer a turn-key solution, or components individually if building from scratch.
- Are the window masks and decal sheet difficult to apply? — No, both are standard RC car finishing components. Window masks are simply positioned over glass areas before painting and removed afterwards, whilst decals are applied to finished painted surfaces using the included application fluid or water. Detailed instructions typically accompany these items, making the process straightforward even for first-time builders.
