Frequently Asked Questions
- What are body extinguishers and why do I need them? — Body extinguishers are small but important components that secure your RC truck's bodyshell to the chassis. They prevent the body from shifting or separating during driving, which is especially important during high-speed runs, jumps and aggressive manoeuvres. Without proper body extinguishers, your shell could move around, affecting the truck's appearance, aerodynamics and even handling characteristics.
- Will these fit my FTX Apache 2.0? — Yes, these body extinguishers are designed specifically for the FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 Brushless Trophy Truck, including both the red (FTX5498V2R) and blue (FTX5498V2B) variants. They are genuine FTX parts that guarantee perfect fit and function with your vehicle.
- Do I need to buy tools or additional parts to install these? — Body extinguishers are typically straightforward to install and usually require only basic tools that most RC enthusiasts already have in their toolkit. Installation instructions would normally be provided with the parts or available from FTX documentation.
- Why buy genuine FTX spares instead of aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine FTX parts are engineered to exact specifications and manufactured to the same high standards as the original components that came with your Apache 2.0. This ensures perfect fit, reliable function and longevity. Choosing genuine spares protects your investment in your RC truck and gives you confidence that your vehicle will perform at its best.
- Can I use these on other FTX models? — These extinguishers are specifically designed for the FTX Apache 2.0 platform. While other FTX models exist in their range, compatibility would depend on the specific model. We recommend checking compatibility information or contacting our team if you're unsure whether these parts will work with another FTX vehicle.
