FTX Vantage 2.0 Printed RC Buggy Body Shell Blue Black White 1/10 FTX6289BL

Overview

The FTX Vantage 2.0 Printed Blue/Black/White Body is a premium replacement bodyshell designed for RC enthusiasts looking to refresh their Vantage buggy with a striking new look. This pre-painted printed body shell delivers eye-catching aesthetics with its bold blue, black and white colour scheme, making your RC car UK collection stand out on the track or trail. Whether you're a seasoned RC buggy racer or someone new to the world of 1/10 scale RC cars, this body shell offers an affordable way to customise and personalise your existing Vantage platform without the expense of purchasing a completely new ready to run RC vehicle.

FTX has become recognised as a trusted manufacturer of quality RC buggies and crawler vehicles, and their attention to detail extends to their optional body shells. This particular Vantage 2.0 body represents the latest iteration of the design, combining contemporary styling with practical engineering. The printed finish means the graphics and colour scheme arrive pre-applied to the polycarbonate shell, saving you the time and effort of hand-painting or decal application. It's an ideal upgrade for owners of the FTX Vantage Brushed 2.0 buggy 1/10 4WD RTR models, or those running earlier Vantage variants looking to give their RC car a modern refresh.

This is a genuine FTX option part manufactured to the same standards as the complete Vantage buggies, ensuring perfect fitment and durability through countless runs. The vibrant colour scheme not only looks fantastic but also improves visibility during outdoor RC racing and bashing sessions, making it easier to track your vehicle across varied terrain. Adding this body to your collection is a simple way to extend the life of your existing platform and keep your RC buggy looking fresh and competitive.

Key Features

• Pre-Painted Printed Finish — The body arrives fully painted with factory-applied graphics in an eye-catching blue, black and white colour scheme, eliminating the need for hand painting or time-consuming decal application, saving you hours of preparation work.
• 1/10 Scale Compatibility — Specifically designed to fit 1/10 scale Vantage buggy platforms, this body shell maintains the aggressive stance and aerodynamic profile that the Vantage range is known for in competitive RC buggy racing.
• Polycarbonate Construction — The printed polycarbonate material provides excellent durability and impact resistance, meaning your body shell can handle the occasional crash or contact with obstacles without cracking or shattering like cheaper alternatives.
• Included Decal Sheet — A complementary decal sheet is included with this body, allowing you to further customise your RC buggy or replace any graphics that wear over time with continued use and maintenance.
• Multiple Model Compatibility — Fits the FTX Vantage Brushed 2.0 Buggy, FTX Vantage Brushless Buggy, and FTX Vantage Brushed Buggy, providing flexibility for owners of different Vantage generations within the range.
• Important Compatibility Note — This body will not fit the Vantage 2.0 Brushless model, so it's essential to verify your specific Vantage variant before purchase to ensure correct fitment and avoid disappointment.
• Factory Quality Assurance — As an authorised FTX option part, this body shell meets the same manufacturing standards and quality control checks as the complete ready to run RC buggies, guaranteeing consistent fitment and reliability.

Technical Performance

The FTX Vantage 2.0 Printed body is engineered from quality polycarbonate material selected for its balance of strength and weight. The printed finish technique ensures that graphics and colours are bonded directly into the material during manufacture, providing superior durability compared to decal-only alternatives that can peel or fade with UV exposure and mechanical wear. The body's aerodynamic profile is optimised for 1/10 scale buggy competition, helping to manage airflow during high-speed runs and maintaining stability through cornering. The three-colour blue, black and white design has been carefully chosen to provide excellent visibility during outdoor RC buggy racing, whether you're running your Vantage 2.0 brushed or brushless motor configuration on compact circuits or rough terrain. The included decal sheet allows customisation beyond the base printed design, making this body versatile enough for both purists who prefer the factory finish and enthusiasts who like to add personal touches. This is a straightforward bolt-on upgrade that requires no special tools or modifications to your existing Vantage chassis, making it an ideal option part for upgrading your brushless RC buggy or maintaining a stable of vehicles in different colours.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this FTX Vantage body fit my Vantage 2.0 Brushless buggy? — No, this is an important compatibility note: this body will not fit the Vantage 2.0 Brushless model. It is compatible with the FTX Vantage Brushed 2.0 Buggy, FTX Vantage Brushless Buggy (non-2.0), and FTX Vantage Brushed Buggy. Please verify your specific Vantage model before purchasing to avoid fitment issues.
• Is this body shell suitable for competitive RC buggy racing in the UK? — Yes, absolutely. The FTX Vantage range is well-regarded for competitive racing, and this printed body shell maintains the aerodynamic profile and proportions necessary for circuit racing. The bright blue, black and white colour scheme also provides excellent visibility on track, helping spectators and other drivers see your vehicle clearly during races.
• Do I need to paint or apply decals to this body, or does it arrive ready to use? — This body arrives fully painted and printed, meaning it's ready to install straight out of the box. However, a decal sheet is included if you wish to add additional graphics or customise the design further. This saves you significant time compared to purchasing an unpainted body that requires hand painting or full decal application.
• What material is this body shell made from, and how durable is it? — The Vantage 2.0 body is constructed from polycarbonate, a tough plastic material that provides excellent impact resistance and durability. It can handle minor crashes and contact with track obstacles during RC buggy racing without cracking or becoming damaged, though severe impacts may require body replacement like any RC car.
• Can I use this body with my brushless RC buggy motor setup? — The body is compatible with the FTX Vantage Brushless Buggy (the original brushless version, not the 2.0 Brushless model), as well as the brushed 2.0 and brushed original models. If you own a Vantage 2.0 Brushless buggy, this body will not fit, so please check your specific model number before ordering.
• What is the scale of this body shell? — This is a 1/10 scale body shell, designed to fit 1/10 scale Vantage buggy chassis platforms. It is not compatible with different scales such as 1/8 or 1/16, so ensure you're running a 1/10 Vantage before purchase.
