Overview
The FTX Kanyon Body Roll Cage Side Frame (5pc) is an essential replacement spare part for FTX Kanyon 4x4 crawler owners in the UK who demand reliability and durability from their RC vehicles. This genuine FTX component is specifically designed to maintain the structural integrity and protective qualities of your Kanyon trail crawler, ensuring your investment remains in top condition through demanding off-road adventures. Whether you are a casual weekend basher exploring challenging terrain or a serious RC enthusiast competing in crawler events, having quality replacement parts on hand is crucial for keeping your RC car UK adventure going without interruption.
The body roll cage side frame represents one of the most important protective elements of your Kanyon's chassis design. This component shields your crawler's body and internal electronics from impact damage during aggressive driving, rock crawling, and technical trail navigation. When your existing frame becomes damaged or worn, replacing it with genuine FTX spare parts ensures your vehicle maintains its original performance characteristics and protective capabilities. RC Model Shop stocks this authentic FTX part to support the growing community of Kanyon owners across the United Kingdom who understand the importance of proper maintenance and timely repairs.
Part of FTX's comprehensive range of quality spare parts and hop-up options, this body roll cage side frame allows you to restore your Kanyon to factory specifications quickly and affordably. Rather than purchasing an entirely new ready to run RC car, keeping essential spares in stock means you can continue enjoying your hobby with minimal downtime. The five-piece configuration provides everything needed for a complete frame replacement on compatible Kanyon models.
Key Features
- Five-Piece Design — The complete roll cage side frame assembly comprises five individual pieces that work together to provide complete protective coverage around the body of your Kanyon crawler, ensuring all impact zones are properly reinforced and protected during aggressive off-road driving.
- Genuine FTX Component — This is an authentic FTX factory spare part, not an aftermarket imitation, meaning it matches the original specifications and design of your Kanyon exactly, ensuring perfect fitment and maintaining the vehicle's original performance and structural integrity.
- Chassis Spare Classification — Listed as a chassis spare rather than a cosmetic body part, this frame plays a critical structural role in supporting and protecting your Kanyon's internal components, suspension mounting points, and electronics during impacts and challenging terrain navigation.
- Simple Replacement Process — Designed for straightforward installation by RC enthusiasts of varying skill levels, this spare part bolts directly onto existing mounting points without requiring modification to your existing Kanyon crawler or additional compatibility adjustments.
- Compatible with Multiple Kanyon Models — This roll cage side frame is engineered to fit the FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR 1:10 XL Trail Crawler (model FTX5563) and the FTX Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR 1:10 XL Crawler (model FTX5563R), providing compatibility across the main Kanyon range.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance — Rather than purchasing a complete new ready to run RC vehicle, replacing individual damaged components like this frame allows you to maintain your Kanyon at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement, making it an economical choice for long-term RC car ownership.
