Key Features
- Pre-Painted Finish — The body arrives pre-painted in a vibrant green colour, eliminating the need for additional paint work and allowing you to use the shell immediately without preparation or finishing steps. This saves time and makes it ideal for builders who want to focus on assembly rather than cosmetic work.
- Polycarbonate Construction — Manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, this bodyshell offers excellent impact resistance and flexibility, which are critical properties for rock crawling where the body may contact rocks, logs and rough terrain. Polycarbonate is lighter than many alternatives, contributing to overall vehicle performance and battery runtime.
- 1/10 Scale Rock Crawler Specification — Engineered specifically for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, the proportions and mounting points are optimised for the Centaur platform, ensuring a perfect fit and authentic appearance that respects the scale of the vehicle.
- Compatible with Multiple Variants — This green bodyshell fits the FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR Trail Vehicle, providing compatibility with red and blue RTR versions. This versatility makes it an excellent option whether you're building from a kit or upgrading an existing model.
- Factory-Original Quality — As an official FTX component, this body maintains the highest standards of fit, finish and durability, ensuring reliable performance and longevity compared to third-party alternatives.
Technical Performance
The FTX Centaur PC Body is engineered as a 1/10 scale rock crawler bodyshell with polycarbonate construction that delivers the durability needed for demanding terrain. Rock crawling places unique demands on RC vehicles compared to other disciplines—the body must protect internal components from occasional impacts whilst remaining light enough not to compromise the vehicle's articulation and approach angles. Polycarbonate is the material of choice for serious crawlers because it absorbs impacts without cracking, yet maintains structural rigidity where needed. The pre-painted green finish is applied at the factory to exacting standards, ensuring consistent colour quality and adhesion that won't chip or peel during normal use. The bodyshell is designed to mount directly onto the FTX Centaur 4WD chassis, which features independent suspension geometry specifically tuned for rock crawling performance. The Centaur platform itself is renowned for its articulation and ground clearance, allowing drivers to tackle steep climbs, descents and technical obstacles. This body works in harmony with that chassis design, providing protection without adding unnecessary weight that would reduce performance. For UK RC enthusiasts building or upgrading a Centaur-based crawler setup, this bodyshell represents an essential component that combines form and function, protecting your investment whilst maintaining the aesthetic appeal that makes rock crawling such a visually rewarding pursuit.
