Key Features
- Five-Piece Design — The roll cage upper frame is delivered as a five-piece assembly, allowing for flexible installation and ensuring you have all the components needed to complete the upper structure of your Kanyon's protective cage system.

- Perfect Fitment — Engineered specifically for the FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR and FTX Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR 1/10 XL Crawler models, ensuring seamless integration without modification.
- Protective Structure — The roll cage framework provides structural reinforcement and protection to the upper bodywork during off-road adventures, rock crawling, and trail navigation where contact with obstacles is commonplace.
- OEM Replacement Part — As an official FTX spare part, this component allows you to maintain your Kanyon crawler at factory standards, restoring or upgrading the vehicle's roll cage to like-new condition.

Technical Performance
The FTX Kanyon Roll Cage Upper Frame is manufactured to the exacting standards you'd expect from a premium RC crawler spare part. The five-piece construction provides a modular approach to roll cage assembly, allowing builders and restorers to replace specific sections if needed or to build the complete protective structure. Each piece is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the Kanyon's existing chassis and bodywork, maintaining the vehicle's centre of gravity and structural balance. The roll cage framework is designed to absorb impacts during trail crawling without compromising the overall integrity of the vehicle. The material composition and construction method ensure longevity even when exposed to repeated off-road use, dirt, moisture, and the typical wear-and-tear associated with serious RC crawling. FTX's attention to detail in their Kanyon range means that this upper frame matches the aesthetic design language of the Kanyon whilst providing the protective functionality that trail crawlers require. The five-piece design also provides redundancy — if one section becomes damaged, you can replace just that component rather than the entire assembly, making repairs more economical.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the FTX Kanyon Roll Cage Upper Frame fit my Kanyon crawler? — Yes, this part is engineered specifically for the FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR 1/10 XL Trail Crawler (FTX5563) and the FTX Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR 1/10 XL Crawler (FTX5563R). It is a genuine OEM spare part designed for perfect compatibility.
- What is the purpose of the roll cage on an RC crawler? — The roll cage serves multiple functions: it provides structural protection to the upper bodywork during off-road crawling and impacts with terrain, adds visual ruggedness to the vehicle's appearance (especially important for the adventure-themed Kanyon), and integrates with other components like the spotlight bracket support to create the Kanyon's distinctive trail vehicle aesthetic.
- Is this the complete roll cage or just part of it? — This is the upper frame component of the roll cage system. The FTX Kanyon also features a Body Roll Cage Side Frame (available separately as FTX8485) which works alongside this upper frame. Together with other Kanyon roll cage components, they create the complete protective structure. You can also purchase the FTX Kanyon Complete Roll Cage with Lights & Tray (FTX8482) if you want all roll cage components assembled together.
- Do I need any tools to install this part? — Standard model-building tools such as screwdrivers and hex key drivers will be required for installation. The specific tools needed will depend on the fastening method used, which would be detailed in the Kanyon assembly or maintenance documentation.
- Can I paint or customise the roll cage? — The material composition of FTX Kanyon parts can typically be painted if desired, allowing you to colour-coordinate your roll cage with your Kanyon's body colour or create custom design schemes. Always check part material before selecting paint or adhesives.
- What other Kanyon parts work with this roll cage upper frame? — This upper frame integrates with several other Kanyon components: the Body Roll Cage Side Frame (FTX8485), Spotlight Bracket Support (FTX8484), Complete Roll Cage with Lights & Tray (FTX8482), Luggage Roof Tray (FTX8483), and if you're ordering a complete body assembly, the Clear Body with Roll Cage, Spotlights & Tray (FTX8488) or Painted Body with Roll Cage, Spotlights & Tray (FTX8489S) both include integrated roll cage components.
