Overview
The FTX Centaur Moulded Body Accessories (FTX10423) are essential upgrade components designed for owners of the FTX Centaur RC crawler who want to enhance their vehicle's performance and aesthetics. These moulded body accessories represent a genuine way to customise and protect your RC car, whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to fine-tune your crawler or a newer hobbyist wanting to explore the possibilities of RC vehicle modification. FTX is a recognised brand in the UK RC hobby community, known for producing quality crawlers and complementary parts that deliver excellent value for money.
Body accessories are crucial for any serious RC car UK enthusiast because they serve both functional and cosmetic purposes. They protect the underlying chassis and mechanical components from impacts, dirt and weathering whilst also allowing you to personalise the appearance of your FTX Centaur to match your driving style and preferences. The moulded construction ensures a perfect fit to your Centaur's bodywork, eliminating the gaps and misalignments that can occur with poorly fitted aftermarket parts. These accessories are manufactured to exacting standards, ensuring durability through countless hours of trail running, rock crawling and off-road adventures.
Whether you're preparing your ready to run RC crawler for serious competition, weekend bashing, or leisurely trail exploration, the FTX Centaur Moulded Body Accessories provide a straightforward way to upgrade your vehicle without requiring technical expertise. The moulded design means they fit precisely without modification, making installation quick and straightforward even for those new to RC customisation.
Key Features
- Moulded Construction — These accessories are injection-moulded rather than hand-fitted, meaning they are manufactured to precise tolerances that guarantee a perfect fit to your FTX Centaur chassis without gaps, warping or alignment issues that could compromise the vehicle's appearance or aerodynamics.
- OEM-Quality Design — FTX's moulded body accessories are engineered to match the original factory specifications of the Centaur, ensuring visual consistency and proper functional fit that maintains the vehicle's designed performance characteristics across all terrain types.
- Protective Function — Body accessories shield the underlying mechanical components, electronics and chassis from rock strikes, dirt ingress, moisture and UV damage, significantly extending the service life of your RC crawler investment and reducing maintenance needs.
- Customisation Potential — The moulded plastic construction can be painted or decorated to suit your personal style, allowing you to create a unique RC car that reflects your personality whilst maintaining factory-standard fit and finish quality.
- Lightweight Design — Moulded polycarbonate or ABS plastic construction keeps overall vehicle weight down compared to metal body panels, helping maintain the agility and responsiveness that the FTX Centaur is known for when tackling technical terrain.
- Compatible with Standard Parts — These body accessories integrate seamlessly with existing FTX Centaur spares and upgrade options, meaning you can combine them with other hop-up parts and modifications without compatibility concerns.
Technical Performance
The FTX Centaur Moulded Body Accessories are manufactured from precision-moulded engineering-grade plastics selected specifically for durability and impact resistance. The moulded process creates a rigid structure that resists deformation under load, ensuring that once fitted to your FTX Centaur rock crawler, the body panels maintain their shape even during aggressive rock crawling sessions or high-speed bash runs. The material composition has been engineered to withstand UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and the wet conditions commonly encountered in UK outdoor RC hobby environments. These accessories mate directly with the Centaur's chassis mounting points, providing factory-grade alignment and eliminating the fitment problems associated with universal or poorly engineered aftermarket body parts. The construction method ensures consistent quality across every unit manufactured, meaning reliability and durability are built into every set. As with all FTX Centaur genuine spares and accessories, these components have been tested to ensure they do not negatively impact the vehicle's handling characteristics, centre of gravity, or overall performance when fitted.

We recommend contacting our team for a detailed component breakdown if you need to confirm specific items before purchase.
- Will these accessories fit my FTX Centaur without modification? — Yes. These are genuine FTX moulded body accessories designed specifically for the Centaur platform. The moulded manufacturing process ensures perfect factory-grade fitment with no modification required to your chassis or bodywork. Simply follow the included fitting instructions for quick installation.
- Can I paint these body accessories? — Absolutely. The moulded plastic construction is ideal for customisation. You can use standard hobby paints, vinyl wraps, or airbrush techniques to colour your accessories to match your personal style or team colours. We recommend using plastic-compatible primers and paints for best results and longevity.
- Do I need any special tools to install these accessories? — No. These moulded accessories use standard FTX mounting points and require only basic RC tools such as hex keys that you likely already own. Installation is straightforward and does not require welding, drilling, or modification of your Centaur chassis.
- Are these compatible with other FTX Centaur upgrades? — Yes. These genuine FTX accessories are fully compatible with all other FTX Centaur hop-up options and spares. You can safely combine them with suspension upgrades, drivetrain modifications, and other customisations without compatibility issues.
- What is the difference between moulded and fabricated body accessories? — Moulded accessories like these are precision-manufactured using injection moulding, creating perfectly consistent fit and finish. Fabricated alternatives may be hand-made, leading to inconsistencies, poor fitment, and variable quality. FTX's moulded approach guarantees superior quality and durability.
