Key Features
- Polycarbonate Construction — Built from durable polycarbonate material rather than standard plastic, this body shell is significantly stronger and more impact-resistant, meaning it will withstand hard landings, rock strikes, and rigorous trail work without cracking or splitting like weaker alternatives.
- Clear Un-Painted Finish — The body arrives as a clear shell ready for your own custom painting and detailing, giving you complete creative control to match your personal RC crawler style or team colours.
- Window Masks Included — The package includes precision-cut window masks, allowing you to cleanly mask off the windows before painting if you want a fully custom paint scheme or to protect clear window areas during the painting process.
- Decal Sheet Supplied — A full decal sheet is included in the box, featuring genuine FTX Outback branding and trim graphics that you can apply to your finished body to complete the authentic scale appearance.
- 1/10 Scale Design — Purpose-built at 1/10 scale, this body is perfectly proportioned for standard 1/10 trail crawlers and off-road RC vehicles, delivering authentic SUV and truck styling that looks right at home on the trail.
- 254mm Wheelbase Compatibility — Engineered to fit the standard 254mm (10 inch) wheelbase chassis of the FTX Outback 3.0 range, ensuring precise alignment and professional fitment without modification.
- Rock Crawler Classification — Designed specifically for rock crawling and trail work, this body shell is optimised for the lower speeds and extreme articulation demands of competitive and recreational crawling rather than high-speed racing.
Technical Performance
The FTX Outback 3 Paso body shell represents a significant upgrade over standard PVC bodywork commonly found on budget RC crawlers. The polycarbonate material offers superior impact absorption and crack resistance, critical qualities when tackling rocky terrain, steep descents, and obstacle courses that characterise serious trail and rock crawling in the UK. At 1/10 scale with a 254mm wheelbase, this body integrates seamlessly with the FTX Outback 3.0 RTR trail crawler platform, delivering authentic scale proportions that enhance the realism of your build. The clear finish allows natural light to pass through, creating excellent visibility for the internal chassis and electronics whilst maintaining a transparent, finished appearance before painting. Unlike cheaper alternatives that become brittle with age and UV exposure, polycarbonate bodies maintain their flexibility and impact strength across multiple seasons of outdoor RC use, making this an investment piece for serious crawlers. The inclusion of proper window masks demonstrates attention to detail in the design, allowing enthusiasts to achieve professional paint finishes with clean window lines and protected transparent areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this body shell suitable for beginners and experienced crawlers alike? — Yes, this is an excellent choice for any skill level. Beginners benefit from the superior durability of polycarbonate, which forgives mistakes and impacts that would damage cheaper bodies. Experienced crawlers appreciate the quality construction and realistic styling for competition and serious trail work. The clear finish lets you paint it exactly as you want, making it suitable for custom builds across all experience levels.
- What makes polycarbonate better than standard PVC for RC bodies? — Polycarbonate is significantly stronger and more impact-resistant than PVC or plastic. It resists cracking from rock strikes and hard landings that would shatter weaker materials. Polycarbonate also maintains its flexibility in cold UK winters, whereas some plastics become brittle. Additionally, polycarbonate provides better long-term durability when exposed to sunlight and weathering, making it ideal for outdoor trail work.
- Will the clear body fit my FTX Outback crawler without modification? — If you own an FTX Outback 3.0 RTR model (Paso or Treka variants), this body shell will fit perfectly without any modification. The 254mm wheelbase and mounting points are identical to the original body on your RTR truck. If you have a different FTX model or older Outback version, compatibility is not guaranteed without checking specifications carefully.
- What is included for painting and customising this body? — The package includes window masks for masking off transparent areas before painting, and a complete decal sheet with FTX branding so you can add scale graphics once your paint is dry. The clear finish is un-painted, so you have complete freedom to choose any colour scheme, from factory-authentic reproductions to wild custom designs.
- How durable is this body for serious rock crawling? — This polycarbonate body is engineered specifically for rock crawling and trail work, making it far more durable than bodies designed for on-road or racing use. The material absorbs impacts from rocks, branches, and terrain obstacles without splitting or delaminating. Many UK crawlers report that polycarbonate bodies easily survive multiple seasons of heavy use with minimal damage, making this a worthwhile investment for serious enthusiasts.
- Can I use this body on other 1/10 crawlers or is it FTX-only? — This body is designed specifically for the FTX Outback 3.0 series with a 254mm wheelbase. Whilst the mounting points are standard on most 1/10 crawlers, fitment and alignment may not be perfect on other brands unless they share identical chassis dimensions. For best results, use this body exclusively on compatible FTX Outback 3.0 RTR models.
