Technical Performance
The FTX Vantage BL 2.0 Clear Body is crafted from high-quality polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for RC applications due to its superior impact resistance, flexibility and optical clarity. At 1/10 scale, this bodyshell delivers authentic buggy styling whilst remaining lightweight to preserve your Vantage 2.0 Brushless performance characteristics. The un-painted finish means you have complete control over the final aesthetic, and the transparent nature of the polycarbonate material allows you to maintain visibility of your internal mechanics whilst the body provides protective coverage during off-road driving. Polycarbonate bodies are significantly more durable than painted alternatives and resistant to UV degradation over time, making this an investment that will look great for many seasons of RC driving. The shell maintains compatibility with all factory mounting points on the Vantage 2.0 Brushless 4WD buggy, ensuring stress-free installation without requiring any chassis modifications or drilling. Whether you're running LiPo batteries, upgrading motors or adding performance upgrades to your brushless RC car, this body accommodates all standard internal components without interference.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
