Technical Performance
The FTX Crossbow Bodyshell Clear is engineered from premium polycarbonate material specifically selected for durability and optical clarity. As an OEM spare part for the FTX Crossbow 1/10 brushless truggy truck platform, this bodyshell maintains the exact dimensions and mounting specifications of the original equipment. The transparent polycarbonate construction provides an exceptional showcase for the advanced brushless drivetrain and electronic components housed within the Crossbow chassis.
