Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this bodyshell compatible with other FTX models? — No, this bodyshell is engineered specifically for the FTX Outback Ranger 2.0 platform with its 250mm wheelbase. Attempting to fit it to other models may result in fitment issues. Always verify that your chassis is specifically a Ranger 2.0 variant before purchasing.
• Can I paint this clear Lexan shell? — Yes, absolutely. The un-painted finish is specifically designed to accept paint, vinyl wrap, or other customisation methods. Many builders prefer clear shells for this reason, as it allows complete creative control over the final appearance. Always use RC-specific paints or polycarbonate-compatible options to avoid damaging the shell.
• What painting equipment do I need? — The included window masks make painting straightforward. Use spray paint designed for polycarbonate bodies, apply thin coats to avoid pooling, and allow proper drying between coats. Many UK RC builders use Tamiya PS spray paint or similar polycarbonate-compatible options.
• Are the decals factory-authentic? — Yes, the decals provided are genuine FTX products matching the official Outback Ranger 2.0 styling. They can be applied over paint for authentic factory appearance or omitted entirely if you prefer a custom design.
• What is the wheelbase specification? — This bodyshell is designed for the 250mm wheelbase of the FTX Outback Ranger 2.0, ensuring perfect proportional fitment and authentic appearance.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this bodyshell is excellent for beginners undertaking their first RC customisation or repair project. The straightforward fitment, included masks and decals, and durable polycarbonate construction make it an ideal starting point for builders learning to work with RC bodies.
• Where can I source replacement window masks? — FTX produces spare masks and decal sets as separate parts. If you make a mistake during painting or need additional sets, replacement masks are available through authorised FTX dealers and RC retailers across the UK.
• How does this compare to painted bodyshells? — Clear shells offer complete customisation flexibility and cost less than pre-painted alternatives. The tradeoff is that you handle the painting process yourself, but this appeals to enthusiasts who want unique finishes or specific colour schemes unavailable in factory options.
