- Secure bodyshell retention — Purpose-designed to grip your bodyshell firmly without slipping, these clips prevent unwanted movement during acceleration, cornering and braking, protecting both the shell and the internal electronics from damage.
- Easy installation — No tools required; simply position the clip over the body post and press down firmly until it seats completely, making repairs and maintenance quick and straightforward even in the field.
- Durable construction — Built from robust materials that withstand repeated use, these clips maintain their grip strength through countless body installations without becoming loose or failing prematurely.

Technical Performance
The FTX Hooligan Jnr Body Clips represent genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) components engineered specifically for the FTX Hooligan Jnr platform. These clips feature precision-moulded design that ensures consistent engagement with your vehicle's body posts, creating a secure mechanical lock that prevents lateral and vertical movement of the bodyshell during operation. The engineering behind these clips takes into account the performance demands of both casual recreational running and competitive racing, where bodyshell security is paramount. Each clip in the pack has been manufactured to identical specifications, ensuring uniform grip strength and reliability across all 10 pieces. The material composition provides the necessary rigidity to maintain secure grip whilst remaining flexible enough to avoid over-stressing body posts during installation and removal. This balance of properties is critical because over-rigid clips can crack body post bosses, whilst clips that are too soft lose their gripping ability quickly. Whether you're running your Hooligan Jnr through high-speed circuit racing, technical course navigation, or rough off-road bashing, these clips will maintain your bodyshell in the correct position, protecting the valuable electronics housed beneath and ensuring your RC car UK investment continues to perform reliably.
