Technical Performance
The FTX Supaforza Body Post Set is a chassis spare component specifically engineered for the demanding requirements of 1/7th scale brushless electric RC car operation. Body posts function as the critical mounting interface between your model's chassis platform and the bodyshell, and as such they must withstand lateral forces, vibration, and repeated assembly and disassembly cycles. FTX has manufactured this spare set using materials and tolerances that match the original equipment specifications found on new FTX Supaforza GT models. The body posts maintain precise dimensional tolerances to ensure that your bodyshell sits correctly on the chassis, which is essential for proper weight distribution, handling characteristics, and overall vehicle performance. Whether you're running your FTX Supaforza GT on tarmac tracks, off-road terrain, or in competitive racing environments, these body posts provide the secure mounting foundation your bodyshell requires. The robust construction ensures that your posts won't strip easily, whilst the genuine FTX manufacturing standards guarantee compatibility with all other Supaforza GT components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a body post set and why do I need one for my FTX RC car? — Body posts are the mounting components that connect your RC car's plastic or composite bodyshell to the chassis frame. They're essential structural elements that keep your body properly positioned and secure during driving. Over time, body posts can become worn, cracked, or stripped through repeated mounting cycles and impacts, particularly in competitive racing. Having a replacement body post set on hand ensures you can quickly repair your model and get back to driving without extended downtime.
- Is the FTX Supaforza Body Post Set compatible with other FTX models? — No, this body post set is specifically designed and engineered for the FTX Supaforza GT 1/7th brushless electric RC car.

The packaging and product information will clearly indicate compatibility with FTX5494B and FTX5494R models.
- How often should I replace my body posts? — The frequency of replacement depends on how intensively you use your RC car. Casual recreational drivers might replace body posts once or twice per season, whilst competitive racers or aggressive bashers may need to replace them more frequently. Inspect your body posts regularly for signs of wear, cracks, or stripping. If you notice your bodyshell sitting unevenly or loose on the chassis, it's time to replace your body posts.
