Overview
The FTX Body Clip (Medium Size) is an essential maintenance and replacement part for FTX RC car enthusiasts across the UK. These clips are critical components that securely hold the body shell in place on your RC vehicle, ensuring stability during high-speed runs and aggressive driving. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher enjoying ready to run RC vehicles, having spare body clips on hand is a smart investment that prevents frustration and keeps your model in top condition.
Body clips are prone to wear, loss, or damage during regular use — particularly when you're pushing your brushless RC buggy or electric RC truck to its limits. The FTX Body Clip (Medium Size) pack of six ensures you have plenty of replacements available, so you can keep your RC vehicle running without unnecessary downtime. This pack is specifically designed to fit a wide range of FTX models, making it an ideal universal spare part for collectors and enthusiasts who operate multiple vehicles from the same manufacturer.
With a silver finish and medium sizing, these body clips offer reliable performance and compatibility across FTX's extensive range of 1/10th scale electric RC cars, including drift cars, buggies, trucks, crawlers, and truggy models. Having a backup supply of body clips means you're always prepared for the unexpected, ensuring your RC hobby runs smoothly and enjoyably.
Key Features
- Pack of Six Clips — This generous pack contains six individual body clips, providing excellent value and ensuring you always have spares available when needed, rather than having to order replacements each time one is lost or damaged during use.
- Medium Size Design — The medium sizing makes these clips compatible with a broad range of FTX RC vehicles across different scales and body styles, offering versatility for users with multiple models in their collection.
- Silver Finish — The durable silver finish provides a professional appearance whilst resisting corrosion and wear, ensuring these clips maintain their functionality and appearance through regular use and storage.
- Universal FTX Compatibility — These clips are specifically engineered to fit numerous FTX models including the Banzai drift car, Bugsta buggy, Carnage truck variants, Kanyon crawler, Vantage buggy, Zorro trophy truck, and many others across the FTX range.
- Essential Replacement Part — Body clips are consumable items that regularly need replacement due to loss or damage, making this multi-pack an essential addition to any RC enthusiast's spare parts collection.
- Secure Body Retention — These clips work to securely hold your RC car's body shell in the correct position, preventing shifting during acceleration, braking, and cornering, which is critical for maintaining handling characteristics and vehicle appearance.
Technical Performance
The FTX Body Clip (Medium Size) represents a fundamental but important component in RC vehicle maintenance. Body clips serve the critical function of securing the plastic body shell to the chassis frame, preventing unwanted movement that could affect aerodynamics, weight distribution, and overall vehicle handling. The medium sizing ensures these clips fit properly across FTX's standard 1/10th scale range without being too loose or too tight. The silver finish provides durability whilst maintaining aesthetic appeal, and the clip design allows for quick and tool-free body removal — essential when you need to access internal components for maintenance, battery swaps, or adjustments to your brushless RC buggy or electric RC truck. Unlike body pins which require separate removal, quality body clips like these provide superior retention and can be engaged and disengaged rapidly during pit stops.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these body clips compatible with my FTX RC car model? — Yes, these medium-sized clips are compatible with a comprehensive range of FTX models including the Banzai, Bugsta, Carnage 2.0, Carnage NT, Kanyon, Khaos, MK2RS, Vantage 2.0, and Zorro Trophy Truck. If you own any FTX 1/10th scale electric RC car, these clips will almost certainly fit your vehicle. Consult your specific model's documentation if you're uncertain about compatibility.
- Why do I need spare body clips for my RC car? — Body clips are consumable parts that can be lost during off-road runs, damaged through normal wear, or misplaced during maintenance. Having six spare clips ensures you won't be left without a working clip when you need one, keeping your RC hobby running smoothly without frustrating delays.
- How often should I replace body clips? — There's no fixed timeline — it depends entirely on how frequently you use your RC vehicle and whether you experience losses or damage. However, keeping a pack of spares means you're always prepared, so you can replace clips immediately rather than waiting for a replacement order to arrive.
- Can these clips work on other brands of RC cars? — These FTX Body Clips are specifically engineered for FTX vehicles. Whilst some clips from other manufacturers might have similar dimensions, we recommend using genuine FTX clips to ensure proper fit and retention on your FTX RC car, truck, buggy, or crawler.
- Are body clips difficult to install and remove? — Body clips are designed to be tool-free and simple to use. They require no special installation — simply position your body shell and slide the clips into place. Removal is equally straightforward when you need to access the chassis for maintenance or battery changes.

If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
