Key Features
- Pre-Painted Red Polycarbonate Shell — The bodyshell arrives fully painted in an attractive red finish, eliminating the need for additional painting and saving you time and expense. Polycarbonate construction provides excellent durability and impact resistance, protecting your chassis during aggressive off-road driving whilst remaining lightweight enough to maintain optimal weight distribution for your RC crawler.
- Included Decal Sheet — A comprehensive decal sheet is provided with this bodyshell, allowing you to add authentic FTX graphics and personalise your vehicle exactly as you prefer. Decals are an excellent way to add visual interest and identify your car if you're driving with friends or at organised events.
- 1/10 Scale Rock Crawler Design — Engineered specifically for the rock crawler category, this bodyshell features the correct proportions, angles and design elements that characterise authentic scale crawlers. The geometry supports the handling characteristics and visual appeal that rock crawler enthusiasts demand, making it suitable for both competitive and recreational use.
- Compatible with FTX Outback Geo 4x4 Platform — This bodyshell is specifically designed for the FTX Outback Geo 4x4 chassis, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment with your existing mechanical components. Compatibility is guaranteed, eliminating guesswork and ensuring your RC car UK setup performs as intended.
- No Accessories Included — This is a bodyshell and decal-only package, meaning it contains only the painted shell and graphic decals. This makes it an affordable option for those who already own the mechanical components of an FTX Outback Geo 4x4 and simply need a replacement or alternative body.
Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Geo 4x4 bodyshell demonstrates FTX's commitment to quality in the affordable RC segment. Constructed from durable polycarbonate plastic, the shell provides excellent impact resistance whilst keeping weight to a minimum – a critical consideration in 1/10 scale rock crawlers where every gram affects performance and handling. The pre-painted red finish is applied to a high standard, providing clean lines and professional appearance straight from the box. The included decal sheet uses high-quality printed graphics that adhere smoothly to the curved surfaces of the bodyshell, allowing you to customise your crawler's appearance. This bodyshell is engineered to fit seamlessly onto the FTX Outback Geo 4x4 chassis, with carefully designed mounting points and proportions that maintain the vehicle's centre of gravity and weight distribution – crucial factors in rock crawler performance where technical climbing and obstacle negotiation demand precise balance and handling characteristics. The rock crawler classification means this shell features the geometry needed for realistic scale proportions, with appropriate wheel arches, stance, and body lines that give your RC vehicle an authentic appearance whether you're driving it on technical trails or displaying it amongst your collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this a complete ready to run RC car? — No, this product contains only the bodyshell and decals. You will need an existing FTX Outback Geo 4x4 chassis with all mechanical components, electronics, battery and radio system to use this shell. It's designed as a replacement or alternative body option for those who already own the complete vehicle.
- What scale is the FTX Outback Geo 4x4 bodyshell? — This is a 1/10 scale bodyshell, which is the standard size for rock crawlers and provides an excellent balance between scale appearance, durability and performance. At this scale, your RC car UK driving experience includes realistic proportions and the ability to tackle genuine 1/10 scale obstacles and terrain.
- Can I paint this bodyshell myself if I want a different colour? — Yes, although this shell arrives pre-painted in red, polycarbonate bodyshells can be repainted if you prefer an alternative colour. Standard RC body paint and polycarbonate-compatible primers are available from most RC retailers, though the pre-painted finish saves time if you're happy with the red colour.
- What is the difference between this and other FTX bodyshells? — The FTX Outback Geo 4x4 is specifically designed for the Outback Geo 4x4 platform and features rock crawler proportions with appropriate angles, stance and geometry for technical off-road terrain. Other FTX bodyshells are designed for different chassis platforms and may feature different styling, so compatibility depends on your specific vehicle platform.
- How durable is the polycarbonate construction? — Polycarbonate is an excellent material for RC bodyshells, offering superior impact resistance compared to other plastics whilst remaining lightweight. The shell will protect your chassis during off-road driving, and scratches or minor damage can be repaired or the shell replaced affordably when needed.
- Is this suitable for competitive rock crawling? — Yes, the FTX Outback Geo 4x4 is a respected platform in the rock crawling community, and this official bodyshell maintains all the design elements needed for competitive technical driving. However, competitive success depends on your complete setup, driving skill and the condition of your mechanical components and electronics.
