Technical Performance
The FTX Kanyon Body Mudguard Fenders & Running Boards represent engineered plastic components manufactured to precise tolerances ensuring consistent quality and perfect alignment with the 1/10 scale FTX Kanyon 4x4 body shell. The mudguard fenders are designed to mount directly to the body bracket posts (sold separately as FTX8481) and integrate with the existing Kanyon body structure without requiring modifications to the chassis or suspension geometry. The running boards extend the visual footprint of the model, creating authentic scale proportions that replicate full-size 4x4 trail vehicles. These components are engineered to withstand the rigours of off-road crawling, including impacts, mud immersion, and outdoor weather exposure typical of serious RC trail driving. The plastic material used in FTX spares production is selected for durability, impact resistance and consistency with the original body shell colour and finish. Installation integrates with the comprehensive FTX Kanyon body system, which includes optional components such as the body roll cage side frames (FTX8485), complete roll cage with lights and tray (FTX8482), tow hooks (FTX8476), front bumper (FTX8477), and front grille (FTX8479), allowing builders to create fully detailed, competition-ready or display-quality trail crawlers.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these mudguards genuine FTX parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) FTX spares, manufactured by FTX specifically for the Kanyon 4x4 model range. This guarantees perfect fitment, correct colour matching, and authentic styling that aftermarket alternatives cannot provide.
- What exactly is included in this mudguard fenders and running boards set? — This is a complete set comprising both the mudguard fenders and running boards designed as a comprehensive package. The set mounts to the body bracket posts using the existing Kanyon body mounting system, providing full perimeter protection and scale detailing to your crawler.
- Do I need any additional parts to install these mudguards? — The mudguards mount to the body bracket posts (FTX8481 - sold separately). You'll need a basic RC tool set for installation, but no chassis modifications or additional components are required beyond the bracket posts if you don't already have them installed.
- Will these mudguards fit other FTX models besides the Kanyon? — No, these parts are engineered specifically for the FTX Kanyon 4x4 body shell. FTX manufactures model-specific spares to ensure perfect fitment and authentic appearance, so these will not be compatible with other FTX crawler models.
- How difficult is it to install the mudguards on my Kanyon? — Installation is very straightforward for anyone with basic RC building experience. The mudguards attach to the existing body bracket post system without chassis modification, typically requiring only 20-30 minutes using standard RC tools and screwdrivers.
- Can these mudguards help protect my Kanyon's mechanical components? — Yes, mudguards and running boards provide genuine functional benefit beyond aesthetics. They shield the chassis, suspension, and internal mechanical components from heavy mud, water, dirt and debris encountered during serious off-road crawling, helping to extend component lifespan.
- What's the best way to keep these mudguards clean after muddy trail driving? — The plastic material used in FTX spares is easy to clean. A gentle rinse with fresh water and a soft brush will remove mud and debris. Avoid high-pressure washers which could damage the fitment points. Allow to air dry before storing or displaying your model.
- Are these compatible with the FTX Kanyon clear body shell? — Yes, these mudguards are compatible with all FTX Kanyon body variants, including the clear body shell (FTX8490). They provide excellent contrast and enhanced visibility of the internal components when used with the transparent body option.
