Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an RC receiver box and why do I need one? — The receiver box is a protective plastic enclosure that houses your vehicle's radio receiver electronics. It shields these delicate components from impacts, dirt, debris and moisture encountered during RC driving. If your receiver box becomes cracked, damaged or lost, or if you're building a second Crossbow, a replacement receiver box set is essential to ensure reliable radio control of your vehicle.
- Will this receiver box fit my FTX Crossbow? — Yes, this FTX11008 receiver box set is engineered as an exact OEM replacement for both the FTX5490GN (green) and FTX5490BL (blue) variants of the FTX Crossbow 1/10 brushless truggy truck. It utilises the same factory mounting points and connections, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility.
- Is this suitable for both racing and bashing? — Absolutely. Whether you use your Crossbow for competitive track racing or casual off-road bashing, the receiver box provides essential protection for your electronics. Many UK RC enthusiasts keep spare receiver boxes on hand to minimise downtime if damage occurs during intense driving sessions.
- What do I need to complete the receiver box installation? — The receiver box itself is the primary component. You'll need to ensure your receiver and any associated cabling are compatible with the Crossbow's receiver system. The actual installation process is straightforward, though you may wish to have basic tools and knowledge of your vehicle's electronics layout before attempting installation.
- Can I use this receiver box with other FTX vehicles? — This receiver box is specifically designed and engineered for the FTX Crossbow 1/10 brushless truggy. While FTX manufactures many excellent RC vehicles and spare parts, mounting points and dimensions may vary across different models, so it's important to verify compatibility before purchasing spares for other FTX vehicles.
