Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX Kanyon models does this housing set fit? — The FTX Kanyon Front Housing Set FTX8473 is compatible with two models: the FTX5563R (FTX Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR 1:10 XL Crawler) and the FTX5563 (FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR 1:10 XL Trail Crawler). Both are 1:10 scale XL crawlers, and this housing set provides the correct front light housing for either platform.
- Why would I need a replacement front housing set? — During aggressive trail use, the front end of your RC crawler can sustain impacts with rocks, roots and obstacles that may damage or crack the housing. Additionally, UV exposure from regular outdoor use can cause fading or brittleness. A replacement housing set allows you to refresh the front end cosmetically or functionally, keeping your crawler looking and performing like new.
- Is this an official FTX part? — Yes, the FTX8473 is a genuine FTX component manufactured by FTX themselves. It carries the official FTX product code, ensuring you're purchasing an authentic part that meets FTX's quality standards and specifications.
- Will this fit my Kanyon? — If you own either the FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR (FTX5563) or the FTX Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR (FTX5563R), then yes, this housing set is designed specifically for your vehicle and will fit perfectly without modification.
- What tools do I need to install this? — As a direct replacement component for the Kanyon, installation typically requires basic tools such as screwdrivers and potentially a hex driver set. Refer to your Kanyon manual for detailed installation instructions specific to your model variant.
- Can I use this part on other FTX models? — No, this housing set is designed exclusively for the FTX Kanyon platform. Other FTX models such as the Outback range, Tracer, or other crawlers have different body and housing designs and would require model-specific components.
