Key Features
- Genuine FTX Product — This is an authentic FTX Apache Body Decal Sheet manufactured to the exact specifications required for the Apache model, ensuring compatibility and quality that third-party alternatives may not provide.
- Precision Design — The decals are specifically engineered to fit the FTX Apache body shell perfectly, with pre-cut sections that align with the natural contours and panel lines of your model for a professional finish.
- High-Quality Vinyl Materials — FTX uses durable vinyl decal stock that resists fading, peeling and damage during use, whether your Apache is used for track racing, off-road bashing, or display purposes.
- Easy Application — The decals are designed for straightforward application to clean body shells, allowing you to achieve a factory-quality appearance without specialist tools or extensive experience.
- Cost-Effective Customisation — Rather than purchasing an entirely new body shell, decal sheets offer an affordable way to refresh your model's appearance and maintain its resale value.
- Perfect for Replacement — If your current Apache decals have faded, peeled or been damaged during use, this sheet provides an easy way to restore your model to its original appearance.
Technical Performance
The FTX Apache Body Decal Sheet is engineered using professional-grade vinyl materials selected for durability and UV resistance. These decals are manufactured to exact tolerances, ensuring they align perfectly with every body panel, wheel arch, and graphic area on the FTX Apache bodyshell. The vinyl stock used is thick enough to resist peeling during aggressive off-road use, yet thin enough to conform smoothly to the body's contours without visible edges or bubbling. Proper application to a clean, dry body surface will result in graphics that maintain their appearance through countless hours of running, whether indoors on a track or outdoors on challenging terrain. The decal sheet is a standalone graphics solution and does not include the body shell itself, making it an ideal replacement option for existing Apache owners or a customisation accessory for those seeking to modify their current setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX models are compatible with the FTX10179 decal sheet? — The FTX Apache Body Decal Sheet FTX10179 is designed specifically for the FTX Apache model and body shell variants. It will not fit other FTX models such as the Outback, Mauler, or other vehicle types in the FTX range, as each model has different body panel shapes and dimensions.
- Can I apply these decals to a body that already has old graphics? — For the best results, it is recommended to apply these decals to a clean body surface. If your body already has old decals, you should carefully remove them first using appropriate methods that do not damage the body shell. A clean, smooth surface ensures the new decals adhere properly and look professional.
- How long will these decals last? — FTX decal sheets are manufactured using durable vinyl materials designed to resist UV fading and peeling during normal use. With proper application and care, the graphics will maintain their appearance for an extended period. However, aggressive bashing, crashes, and exposure to extreme weather may eventually cause wear.
- Do I need any special tools to apply the decals? — No specialist tools are required. A soft squeegee, cloth, and optionally some mild soapy water or decal application fluid are all you need. Avoid using sharp objects or excessive pressure that could damage the decal or body shell.
- Is this decal sheet suitable for beginners? — Yes, the FTX Apache Body Decal Sheet is suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. The pre-cut design makes application straightforward, and the included graphics are designed to fit without complex alignment procedures. First-time users should work carefully and can benefit from using application fluid to adjust decal position before final setting.
- What is the difference between body decals and a complete printed body? — Body decals are vinyl graphics that you apply to an existing body shell, offering a cost-effective way to customise or refresh appearance. Printed bodies come pre-painted and decorated from the factory. Decal sheets are ideal for replacement, customisation, or maintaining existing models without the expense of a new body shell.
