Overview
The FTX Hooligan Front & Rear Body Posts are essential spare parts designed specifically for the FTX Hooligan RC model. These body posts are critical structural components that connect your RC car's chassis to its bodyshell, ensuring proper alignment, stability and durability during all your off-road adventures. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK enjoying weekend bashing sessions or a serious competitor pushing your Hooligan to its limits, having quality replacement body posts on hand is vital for keeping your RC car in peak condition.
Body posts play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of your RC vehicle's structure. Over time, through regular use, crashes, or intense driving, these components can become damaged, cracked, or bent, affecting how your bodyshell sits on the chassis and potentially impacting your car's performance and appearance. The FTX Hooligan Front & Rear Body Posts offer you a genuine OEM replacement solution that ensures perfect fitment and compatibility with your Hooligan model. By choosing official FTX spares, you're investing in reliability and longevity for your RC model.
RC Model Shop stocks a comprehensive range of FTX spare parts and hop-ups, making us your one-stop destination for all your Hooligan maintenance and upgrade needs. From chassis spares to bodywork components, we maintain genuine FTX parts in stock, helping you keep your RC car running smoothly and looking fantastic throughout the year.

Technical Performance
The FTX Hooligan Front & Rear Body Posts are precision-engineered spare components manufactured to exact OEM specifications. These posts serve as the critical connection points between your RC car's chassis and bodyshell, and their proper condition directly impacts your vehicle's structural rigidity and overall handling characteristics. When body posts become damaged through crashes, impacts, or general wear and tear, they can allow your bodyshell to shift or move excessively, compromising the aerodynamic profile of your RC car and potentially affecting weight distribution and centre of gravity. By maintaining quality body posts in good condition, you preserve the designed geometry of your Hooligan, ensuring it performs exactly as FTX engineered it to. These parts are manufactured from durable materials designed to absorb impacts and maintain their shape through repeated driving sessions, whether you're enjoying relaxed backyard driving in the UK or competing in more demanding environments. For serious RC enthusiasts, keeping spare body posts available means you can quickly return your Hooligan to action without waiting for repairs or extensive downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are body posts and why do I need them for my FTX Hooligan? — Body posts are structural components that connect your RC car's chassis to its plastic bodyshell. They maintain proper spacing and alignment between these two parts, ensuring your vehicle maintains its intended geometry and performance characteristics. Damaged or missing body posts can cause your bodyshell to sit incorrectly, affecting handling, weight distribution and the overall appearance of your RC model.
- How do I know if my body posts need replacing? — Inspect your Hooligan's body posts regularly, particularly after crashes or impacts. Look for visible cracks, bending, warping, or pieces missing from the posts. If your bodyshell feels loose or shifts when you move it by hand, your body posts may be damaged and require replacement to restore proper fitment and security.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, these are official FTX OEM spare parts. Model number FTX6460 is the genuine manufacturer part code, ensuring you receive authentic components designed and produced by FTX specifically for the Hooligan model, guaranteeing perfect compatibility and quality standards.
- Will these fit my FTX Hooligan RC car? — These parts are specifically designed for the FTX Hooligan model and will fit perfectly as replacement components. Always verify that your vehicle is indeed an FTX Hooligan before purchasing, as body posts are model-specific and may not be compatible with other FTX RC cars.
- How often should I replace my body posts? — This depends on your driving style and frequency. Casual weekend bashers may only need replacements after visible damage occurs, whilst competitive drivers or those who bash regularly may benefit from preventative replacement periodically to maintain optimal vehicle condition and prevent secondary damage to the bodyshell or chassis.
- Can I install these body posts myself? — Body post installation is generally straightforward and within reach of most RC enthusiasts. If you're familiar with basic RC car assembly and maintenance, you should be able to replace these posts yourself using standard RC tools. If you're new to RC, consider asking for guidance at your local RC club or from experienced hobbyists in the UK RC community.
