Overview
The FTX Kanyon Body Tow Hooks (4pc) are essential replacement spare parts designed specifically for the FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR 1:10 XL Trail Crawler and FTX Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR 1:10 XL Crawler. These body-mounted tow hooks are crucial components that enable your RC crawler to perform recovery operations, towing simulations, and scale rescue scenarios that are popular amongst serious RC enthusiasts in the UK. Whether you are operating a dedicated trail crawler, a mountain rescue replica, or simply need replacement hooks for your existing Kanyon model, this four-piece set provides genuine OEM parts that ensure compatibility and reliability.
Tow hooks are integral to the authentic operation of modern RC scale crawlers, allowing drivers to simulate real-world recovery missions and emergency response scenarios.

These hooks attach directly to the body of your FTX Kanyon and provide secure anchor points for rope, winch lines, or towing cables during play sessions. The four-piece set ensures you have spares on hand, as these parts can experience wear and tear during intensive crawling activities across challenging terrain.

Keeping spare parts in stock is a smart move for any serious RC crawler operator, and these hooks are the type of consumable item that benefits from having extras available when needed.
