Technical Performance
The FMS 1:10 Toyota FJ40 Hood is a plastic body component engineered to OEM specification for compatibility with 1:10 scale FJ40 RC crawler platforms. This is a replacement hood part rather than a motorised component, so performance relates to fitment, durability and visual impact rather than electrical specifications. The hood is manufactured from quality plastic materials consistent with FMS's product standards, designed to withstand impacts from typical RC bashing and crawling without cracking or warping. The engineering prioritises authentic scale representation whilst maintaining practical durability for the demands of off-road RC driving. This component is particularly popular amongst UK RC car builders who value both aesthetic authenticity and long-term reliability in their crawler builds. The hood's colour options—Blue and Yellow—are applied using durable paint finishes that resist fading from UV exposure and minor scrapes from trail use. Whether you're running this on a purely display model or an active RC crawler, the FMS hood delivers consistent quality and maintains its appearance through regular use.

- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. 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.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.

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.
