Technical Performance
The FTX Tracer Truggy Body & Decal represents the engineering excellence FTX is recognised for across its entire 1/10 off-road range. This replacement body shell has been specifically designed and tested to integrate seamlessly with the FTX Tracer chassis platform, ensuring that whether you're operating a brushed motor setup or upgrading to a brushless RC truggy configuration, fitment is absolutely precise. The body shell construction utilises durable materials engineered to absorb impacts from aggressive driving whilst maintaining structural integrity through extended running sessions. The red colour has been carefully selected to provide high visibility and aesthetic appeal whether you're driving in daylight or using the vehicle for practice runs. The accompanying decal sheet has been manufactured to align perfectly with the body contours, and when applied correctly, delivers a factory-finished appearance that rivals show-standard builds. This is the type of replacement component that experienced RC enthusiasts keep in their spares box—whether you've damaged your existing body in a crash, want to change the cosmetic appearance of your Tracer, or simply want to maintain multiple bodies for different driving conditions and occasions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this FTX Tracer body suitable for all Tracer chassis variants? — This body shell is engineered specifically for the FTX Tracer truggy platform. If you own an FTX Tracer, this body will fit your chassis directly. Always confirm your specific Tracer model number before purchasing replacement bodies to ensure complete compatibility.
- What tools do I need to install this body shell? — FTX Tracer bodies are designed for straightforward installation requiring minimal tools. Most drivers can complete installation using basic hex drivers and body clips that typically come with the chassis. Consult your Tracer manual for detailed installation guidance.
- Can I use this red body shell on other FTX models? — This body is designed specifically for the FTX Tracer truggy. FTX manufactures different body shells for different models including the Outback, Bugsta, Edge and other platforms in their range. Using this body on non-Tracer chassis may result in poor fitment and damage to both the body and your vehicle.
- How durable is the FTX body shell for aggressive bashing? — FTX body shells are engineered to withstand the rigours of serious off-road RC driving and casual bashing alike. However, like any RC body shell, repeated high-impact crashes may eventually result in cracks or damage. This is why many serious drivers keep spare bodies on hand for quick swaps.
- Will the decals stay on during wet weather driving? — The decals provided are designed for standard RC use. For extended wet weather running or high-moisture environments, consider applying clear protective coating over the finished decals to enhance durability and water resistance.
- Is this body shell painted? — This body shell comes finished in red colour. The shell is ready to use and requires no additional painting or preparation before installation, though you have the option to apply additional clear coat for enhanced protection if desired.
