Technical Performance
The FTX Vantage BL 2.0 Printed Blue Body represents a precision-engineered replacement shell for one of FTX's most popular 1/10 scale buggy platforms. The pre-painted blue finish has been selected to complement the dynamic styling of the Vantage 2.0 chassis, which features brushless motor technology capable of delivering impressive acceleration and top-end speed across varied terrain. The body's printed construction provides a lightweight yet rigid shell that interfaces perfectly with the Vantage 2.0's suspension geometry and chassis mounting points. The included printed decal sheet features full-colour graphics that showcase authentic FTX branding and design cues, adding visual impact and customisation options. The durable printed material resists fading from UV exposure and maintains colour vibrancy even after extended outdoor use in UK weather conditions. This body is engineered to work exclusively with the FTX5561B Vantage 2.0 brushless 4WD RTR buggy platform, ensuring compatibility with the vehicle's complete electronics package, including its brushless motor, ESC and servo systems. The precision fit means no modification or adaptation is required—simply remove the old body and install the new shell, with all mounting brackets and body clip points aligning perfectly.
