It will not fit other FTX models, so always verify your specific vehicle model before ordering.
- Why would I need to replace my rear body cage? — The rear body cage can become damaged through crashes, impacts with obstacles, or general wear and tear from aggressive driving. Replacing a damaged cage restores structural integrity, improves handling characteristics, and protects the internal components of your trophy truck from further damage during subsequent driving sessions.
