Technical Performance
The FTX Vantage Printed Orange Option Body is engineered to provide a perfect fit for the Vantage series of 1/10 scale electric RC buggies. This is a pure bodyshell component — it houses the chassis, motor, and running gear whilst protecting internal components during active bashing and racing. The pre-painted orange finish is applied to durable ABS plastic construction, which is standard for competitive 1/10 scale RC buggies operating in the UK and internationally. The shell has been designed with aerodynamic proportions that suit both off-road terrain and track use, ensuring your Vantage platform performs as intended whether you're running across grass, dirt, or carpet racing surfaces. The compatibility matrix is important to note: this body will not fit the newer Vantage 2.0 Brushless model, but it is fully compatible with the original FTX Vantage Brushed Buggy, the FTX Vantage Brushless Buggy, and the FTX Vantage Brushed 2.0 Buggy, covering the majority of Vantage owners. The pre-printed design means no painting is required, though the addition of decals will complete the professional appearance and allow you to create a signature look for your RC car.
