Technical Performance
The FTX Kanyon Body Roll Cage Side Frame represents the engineering philosophy behind FTX's approach to crawler design and durability. This is not simply a cosmetic upgrade — it's a structural component that directly impacts how your 1/10 scale crawler handles impacts and terrain interactions. The side frame assembly is part of the body protection system that allows your Kanyon to navigate rocky terrain, drop-offs and rollover situations whilst protecting both the bodyshell and the sensitive mechanical and electrical components housed within. The five-piece configuration allows for asymmetrical installation if needed, or provides replacement pieces when wear and damage occur from intensive use. The Rescue Yellow colour scheme is applied through robust finishing processes to resist fading and damage from UV exposure during outdoor use. This component integrates seamlessly with all other FTX Kanyon body and chassis elements, maintaining the tight tolerances and engineering specifications that FTX is recognised for in the UK RC market.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX Kanyon models does this side frame fit? — This five-piece side frame set is engineered for both 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, ensuring perfect compatibility with these specific models.
- Is this a genuine FTX part or an aftermarket component? — This is a genuine original equipment component manufactured by FTX, ensuring it meets the exact same quality standards and specifications as parts fitted to new vehicles from the factory.
- Why would I need replacement body roll cage side frames? — During intensive rock crawling, your crawler will inevitably experience impacts and rollovers that can damage the bodyshell protection components. Having spare side frames on hand ensures you can quickly swap out damaged pieces and get back to trailing without waiting for repairs or having to source replacements.

- How difficult is installation of these side frames? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC knowledge, as these are direct-fit components that simply clip or fasten onto the existing Kanyon bodyshell using the original mounting points.
- Does the Rescue Yellow finish fade in sunlight? — The finish is applied using robust processes designed to resist UV fading and weather damage during normal outdoor use, though over extended periods of intense sun exposure you may notice minor colour changes as with any plastic component.
