The FTX Vantage Printed Pink/Grey Option Body is a premium replacement bodyshell designed for electric RC buggy enthusiasts across the UK who demand quality styling and reliable compatibility. This pre-painted bodyshell comes finished in an eye-catching pink and grey colour scheme, offering a fresh aesthetic upgrade for your existing FTX Vantage buggy platform. Whether you're a weekend basher, a competitive racer, or someone looking to customise your ready to run RC buggy, this replacement body shell provides authentic FTX engineering at an affordable price point.
As a genuine FTX option part, this bodyshell represents the manufacturer's commitment to offering buyers choice and flexibility when it comes to personalising their RC vehicles.

This FTX option body removes the guesswork, offering guaranteed fitment with verified compatibility across the Vantage brushed and brushless buggy range. The pre-painted finish means you're getting a professional-quality appearance straight from the box, though the bodyshell does require decals to be applied to complete the iconic FTX look.

Technical Performance
The FTX Vantage Printed Ep Buggy Bodyshell is engineered using quality materials that balance durability with weight efficiency, critical factors in electric RC buggy performance. As a 1/10 scale component, this bodyshell is designed to mount securely onto the Vantage buggy platform without requiring any chassis modifications or machining. The pre-painted finish demonstrates FTX's commitment to delivering out-of-the-box quality, though applying the included decals will complete the professional appearance. The body's aerodynamic profile has been tested within the Vantage development programme to ensure it doesn't compromise top speed, cornering stability, or overall handling characteristics. Whether you're running a brushed motor setup or the more powerful brushless variant, this bodyshell maintains consistent performance across all compatible Vantage configurations. The pink and grey colour scheme provides excellent visibility during high-speed runs, making it easier to track your buggy during outdoor bashing sessions or competitive racing. This is a genuine replacement body that respects the engineering standards FTX has established across its entire RC vehicle range, delivering reliability and performance that UK-based RC hobbyists depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this body fit the Vantage 2.0 Brushless model? — No, this bodyshell is not compatible with the Vantage 2.0 Brushless variant. It is designed for the FTX Vantage Brushed Buggy, FTX Vantage Brushless Buggy, and FTX Vantage Brushed 2.0 Buggy. If you own a Vantage 2.0 Brushless, you will need a different bodyshell option.
- Is this a complete body kit or just a shell? — This is a replacement bodyshell only. It arrives pre-painted in pink and grey but requires decals to be applied to complete the design. Mounting hardware is not included, though most existing Vantage buggies will already have compatible mounting clips.
- Can I paint over the pre-painted finish if I want a different colour? — Yes, the pre-painted surface can be sanded and repainted if you prefer a different colour scheme. However, most UK RC enthusiasts appreciate the professional pink and grey finish as-delivered, which requires no additional preparation.
- What scale is this bodyshell and which buggies does it fit? — This is a 1/10 scale bodyshell compatible with FTX Vantage Brushed Buggy, FTX Vantage Brushless Buggy, and FTX Vantage Brushed 2.0 Buggy models. Always verify compatibility before purchasing if you own a different Vantage variant.
- Do I need any special tools to install this body? — No, installation is straightforward and requires only basic RC equipment you likely already own. The body clips onto the existing Vantage chassis without modifications.
- Where can I get decals for this bodyshell? — Decals are not included with this bodyshell. FTX offers dedicated decal sheets for Vantage buggies, which are available separately through RC Model Shop and other UK RC retailers.
- Is this suitable for competitive racing or casual bashing? — This bodyshell is suitable for both applications. The aerodynamic design complements the Vantage buggy's performance characteristics equally well whether you're racing at a local track or enjoying weekend bash sessions in the park.
