Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Ruffneck Pre-Assembled Body ready to install straight away? — Yes, absolutely. Unlike standard bodyshells that require painting, sanding, and decal application, this pre-assembled body arrives fully prepared. You simply need to mount it onto your compatible FTX chassis using the existing body post holes, and it's ready to drive immediately.
- What is the difference between the pre-assembled body and the standard Ruffneck body shell? — The key difference is preparation. The standard FTX Ruffneck Body Shell (FTX11135BL) comes unpainted with decals supplied separately, requiring you to apply them yourself. The Pre-Assembled version (FTX11136BL) arrives with everything already done — professionally painted in blue with factory-applied decals and graphics, saving you hours of work and ensuring a flawless finish. The pre-assembled version costs more due to the additional factory preparation and professional finishing work.
- What colour options are available for the pre-assembled body? — The FTX Ruffneck Pre-Assembled Body is available in two striking colours: Blue (FTX11136BL) and Orange (FTX11136OR), allowing you to choose the finish that best matches your driving style and preferences.
- Is this body compatible with all FTX RC cars? — The Ruffneck Pre-Assembled Body is designed for 1/10th scale FTX vehicles. Compatibility varies depending on your specific chassis model, so we recommend checking the compatibility list or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm your particular model will accept this body shell.
- How durable is the pre-assembled body for bashing? — The pre-assembled body is built from durable, impact-resistant materials suitable for off-road and on-road bashing. The factory finish is hardened and resistant to colour fading and chipping during normal use, though hard impacts may cause damage as with any RC body. For racing and competitive use, it offers excellent durability and maintains its appearance throughout a season of regular running.
- Can I paint or customise the pre-assembled body further? — Whilst the body arrives in finished condition, many RC enthusiasts enjoy adding their own custom touches such as paint details, sponsor decals, or unique graphics. The factory-applied base finish provides an excellent foundation if you wish to add personalised customisation.
- What mounting system does this body use? — The Ruffneck Pre-Assembled Body uses standard FTX body post mounting, which is compatible with most 1/10th scale FTX platforms. The body features pre-drilled post holes ensuring quick and secure installation without additional drilling or modification.
