Technical Performance
The FTX Supaforza Chassis Inner Side Guards are precision-engineered protective components manufactured to the same exacting standards as the rest of the Supaforza GT platform. These guards form part of the comprehensive chassis protection system on the 1/7th scale brushless electric Supaforza, working in conjunction with the outer side guards (FTX9618) to create a complete protective barrier around the main chassis structure. The inner side guards are strategically positioned to absorb and deflect impacts from the side, particularly during off-road driving where the vehicle encounters rocks, tree stumps, rough terrain and other obstacles. Built from durable engineering-grade materials selected by FTX for optimal strength-to-weight ratio, these guards maintain structural integrity through repeated impacts whilst keeping overall vehicle weight minimal to preserve the Supaforza's impressive performance characteristics. The design has been refined through extensive real-world testing on the track and in off-road conditions, ensuring that when you replace damaged guards with genuine FTX spares, you're getting components that have proven themselves in competitive and recreational use. For owners of the Supaforza GT brushless electric RC car UK, maintaining these protective elements is a key part of responsible vehicle ownership and maximising the lifespan of expensive chassis and drivetrain components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the FTX9619 inner side guards fit my Supaforza? — Yes, these guards are designed exclusively for the FTX Supaforza GT 1/7th brushless electric RTR models. They are compatible with both the red (FTX5494R) and blue (FTX5494B) variants of the Supaforza GT and will fit directly without modification.
- How often should I replace the inner side guards? — The replacement frequency depends on how intensively you use your Supaforza and the terrain you drive on. Aggressive bashing on rocky terrain will wear guards faster than casual driving on smooth ground. Inspect them regularly and replace when you notice cracks, warping or significant damage to ensure continued protection.
- Can I use the inner side guards without the outer side guards? — Both the inner and outer side guards work together to provide comprehensive chassis protection. The FTX9618 outer side guards are available separately, and for maximum protection during serious off-road driving or racing, using both sets is recommended.
- Are these chassis guards waterproof? — The inner side guards are durable plastic components suitable for use in wet conditions. However, water exposure will not damage them. Standard RC maintenance practices recommend allowing your vehicle to dry completely after wet weather driving before storing it.
- What other chassis protective parts are available for the Supaforza? — FTX offers a comprehensive range of Supaforza chassis protection components including the outer side guards (FTX9618), front upper and lower bumper set (FTX9621), and various chassis braces. These can be used in combination to create a fully protected chassis setup suitable for extreme driving conditions.
- How do I install these guards on my Supaforza? — The inner side guards bolt directly onto the chassis using existing mounting points. Standard RC tools including a hex driver and screwdriver are typically all you need for installation. Full installation guidance is provided with the parts or available from RC Model Shop customer support.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. 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.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
