Key Features

• Pack of Six Clips — This product includes six individual body clips in one convenient pack, providing excellent value and ensuring you always have spares available for multiple vehicles or replacements when clips become loose or damaged over time.
• Small Size Design — The small-size specification is specifically engineered to fit FTX vehicles and other 1/10th and 1/18th scale RC cars, ensuring a perfect, secure fit without over-tightening or causing damage to your bodyshell.
• Silver Finish — The silver-coloured finish provides a clean, professional appearance that complements most RC car body designs and blends seamlessly with standard bodyshell aesthetics.
• Durable Construction — Body clips must withstand repeated removal and installation cycles, vibration from engine or motor operation, and the stress of high-speed driving; these FTX clips are manufactured to maintain their grip strength through extended use.
• Universal Compatibility — These clips are compatible with numerous FTX RC car models including the Banzai, Bugsta, Carnage 2.0, Vantage 2.0, Zorro Trophy Truck, and many others, making them an excellent general spare to keep in your RC workshop.
• Easy Installation — Body clips require no tools to install or remove, allowing quick bodyshell changes and maintenance without requiring specialist equipment or technical expertise.

Technical Performance

Body clips are precision retention components that must balance holding force with ease of installation and removal. The FTX Body Clip (Small Size) is engineered from durable materials capable of withstanding the vibration, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress inherent in RC car operation. During acceleration, cornering, and rough terrain driving, bodyshells experience significant lateral and vertical forces that can loosen poorly designed clips. These small-size FTX clips are specifically dimensioned for 1/10th and 1/18th scale RC vehicles, ensuring that they grip the bodyshell retention points firmly without excessive force that could crack or damage plastic body panels. The silver finish indicates a polished, high-quality manufacturing process that resists corrosion from battery acid, fuel residue, and outdoor environmental exposure. Whether you're running brushless 4WD buggies, rock crawlers, trophy trucks, or electric street drift cars, reliable body clips are essential to prevent bodyshell separation during aggressive driving, jumps, and high-speed runs on UK racetracks and off-road terrain.

• Are FTX body clips compatible with my RC car model? — Yes, the FTX Body Clip (Small Size) is specifically designed for FTX vehicles and is compatible with a wide range of models including the Banzai 1/10th Scale 4WD RTR in both green and red variants, the Bugsta 4WD Brushed 1/10th Off-Road Buggy RTR, both variants of the Carnage 2.0 1/10 Brushed Truck in red and blue, the Carnage 2.0 Brushless RTR Monster Truck, the Carnage NT 1/10th RTR 4WD Nitro Truck, the Vantage 2.0 Brushed Buggy 1/10 4wd RTR, the Vantage 2.0 1/10 Brushless Buggy 4WD RTR, the FTX Touring/Drift Car Roller Chassis, and the Zorro Trophy Truck Brushed RTR. If you own any of these FTX models, these body clips will fit perfectly.
• Why do I need spare body clips for my RC car? — Body clips experience wear and stress over time as they are repeatedly removed and installed during bodyshell changes and maintenance. Additionally, clips can loosen or break through vibration during high-speed driving, rough terrain operation, or crashes. Keeping spare body clips ensures you can quickly perform bodyshell maintenance without stopping your RC hobby session, and prevents the frustration of a loose or damaged clip preventing proper bodyshell retention.
• How often should I replace my body clips? — This depends on your usage patterns and how aggressively you drive. Competitive racers and weekend bashers may need to replace clips every few months, whilst casual users might only need replacements annually. We recommend inspecting your clips regularly for signs of wear, cracking, or loss of grip strength. Having a pack of spare clips like this one allows you to replace them proactively before they fail during a critical run.
• Are these body clips only for FTX vehicles? — Whilst these clips are specifically designed and recommended for FTX RC cars, the small-size specification means they may be compatible with other 1/10th and 1/18th scale RC vehicles from different manufacturers. However, for optimal fit and performance, we recommend using them with FTX models as intended.
• Do I need any tools to install these body clips? — No, body clips are designed for tool-free installation and removal. Simply position the clip over the bodyshell retention lugs and press firmly until you feel it click into place. Removal is equally straightforward—simply pull the clip away from the body panel. This ease of use makes them ideal for track-side adjustments and quick maintenance.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Body clips are one of the simplest RC car components to understand and maintain. Even complete beginners can easily install, remove, and replace body clips without any technical knowledge or experience. This is one of the most user-friendly spare parts you can purchase for your RC hobby.
