Technical Performance
The FTX Tracer Truggy Body represents a commitment to quality construction and authentic design that FTX has built its reputation upon in the RC car market. The body shell is manufactured from durable printed plastic material that balances weight savings with impact resistance, crucial characteristics for any RC vehicle that's going to experience regular bashing or competitive racing. The pre-painted green finish is applied using professional-grade paint systems that resist fading and chipping under normal use conditions, maintaining your truck's visual appeal over months of outdoor driving. The included decal sheet offers additional customisation without requiring specialist painting equipment or spray facilities, making this an accessible upgrade for UK RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. Designed for 1/16 scale applications, the body proportions and panel lines create an authentic, scale-appropriate appearance that appeals to collectors and serious bashers alike. The printed construction method ensures consistent colour reproduction and professional graphics application, with no risk of paint runs or application errors that can occur with hand-painted alternatives. This body shell integrates seamlessly with the FTX Tracer platform's engineering, maintaining the vehicle's aerodynamic profile and weight distribution characteristics. For anyone running FTX Tracer models in the UK, this genuine OEM body ensures factory-correct fitment and finish quality that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot replicate.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this body shell compatible with all FTX Tracer models? — This green body shell is specifically engineered for FTX Tracer 1/16 scale truggy platforms. It is compatible with multiple FTX Tracer variants including the FTX5577G green truggy, FTX5577R red truggy, FTX5577O orange truggy, and their bundled versions with extra batteries. It is also compatible with several FTX Tracer monster truck models including the FTX5576B blue, FTX5576R red, and FTX5576O orange variants. We recommend checking your specific model number against the compatibility list to ensure proper fitment before ordering.
- Do I need to paint this body shell? — No, this body comes pre-painted in a high-quality green finish, so you can fit it directly to your chassis without any additional painting work. The included decal sheet allows you to add graphics and customisation details if desired, but painting is not necessary for immediate use.
- What makes this better than a generic truggy body? — This is an authentic FTX original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component engineered specifically for the Tracer platform, ensuring perfect fitment, correct proportions, and factory-standard finish quality. Generic aftermarket bodies often require trimming, modification, or re-painting, and may not align properly with your chassis. By choosing the genuine FTX body, you're investing in quality assurance and compatibility that protects your RC investment.
- How difficult is it to swap body shells on my FTX Tracer? — Body shell replacement is one of the simplest maintenance tasks in RC car ownership. You simply unscrew or unclip the body posts securing your current shell to the chassis, lift away the old body, position the new shell, and secure it in place. Most owners can complete a body swap in under five minutes without requiring specialised tools or technical knowledge, making this an ideal upgrade for beginners and experienced racers alike.
- Can I use the decal sheet if I'm not confident at applying graphics? — The decal sheet is entirely optional. You can run your Tracer with just the pre-painted body shell, which looks fantastic in its own right. If you do want to apply decals, they're designed for straightforward application using standard decal techniques. Alternatively, many RC shops in the UK offer decal application services if you prefer professional results.
- What colour options are available for the FTX Tracer Truggy body? — FTX offers the Tracer body in multiple colour options to suit different preferences. This listing features the striking green finish, but you can also source red, blue, and orange variants if you prefer alternative colour schemes for your RC vehicle collection.
