Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these genuine FMS parts or aftermarket components? — These are genuine OEM FMS chassis side plates manufactured to exact factory specifications. They are the precise components used in production FCX10 models, ensuring perfect fitment and authentic performance characteristics.
- Will these fit my FCX10 variant? — Yes, these chassis side plates are engineered to fit the FCX10 Toyota LC80, FCX10 Pro LC80, and FCX10 Discovery/Range Rover/Defender 110 models, making them universally compatible across the main FCX10 platform variants.
- Do I need any tools to install these? — Installation typically requires basic RC model tools and mechanical knowledge. If you're comfortable working on RC vehicles, you'll find these straightforward to fit. We recommend consulting the FMS manual for your specific FCX10 variant for detailed installation guidance.
- What do chassis side plates do? — Chassis side plates form part of the main structural frame of your RC crawler. They provide rigidity to the chassis, help maintain proper geometric alignment, support suspension mounting points, and contribute to the overall strength and durability of your model during trail driving and rock crawling.
- Should I replace both side plates? — Whilst you could replace just one plate if only one is damaged, many RC enthusiasts prefer replacing both as a matched pair to ensure even wear characteristics and maintain perfect symmetrical geometry across the chassis.
- Are these parts waterproof? — These are structural plastic components that are inherently water-resistant. However, the FCX10 platform as a whole integrates waterproofing in electronic components like the ESC and servo. These plates themselves don't contain electronics and will not be damaged by water exposure during scale trail driving.
- What is the warranty on these parts? — FMS provides a 90-day warranty on components from the date of delivery. If you receive a defective part or experience shipping damage, FMS will provide a replacement or refund within the 30-day return window for unused products.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- 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.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. 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.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
