Rock crawling is one of the most challenging and rewarding disciplines in the RC hobby, requiring vehicles that can navigate extreme terrain with precision and control. The FTX Mauler 2.0 is renowned for its exceptional climbing ability and rugged construction, and these painted body panels are engineered to complement that performance. The vibrant red colour adds an aggressive aesthetic appeal whilst maintaining the truck's characteristic tough styling. Perfect for hobbyists who want to customise their ready to run RC crawler or replace factory panels after wear and tear, these body panels are a straightforward upgrade that requires no special tools or expertise to install.
FTX has built a strong reputation in the UK RC community for delivering quality vehicles and components at competitive prices. The Mauler range is particularly popular amongst rock crawler enthusiasts who appreciate the balance of performance, durability and value. These painted body panels are manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate, the industry standard material for RC body shells, providing excellent impact resistance and flexibility during demanding off-road use.
Key Features
- Pre-Painted Finish — These body panels arrive fully painted in a striking red colour, eliminating the need for you to apply primer, paint and clear coat yourself, saving you time and ensuring a professional factory-quality finish that matches your Mauler 2.0 perfectly.
- OEM Compatibility — Designed specifically for the FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR in both red and yellow variants, ensuring absolute fitment accuracy and authentic appearance that maintains the integrity of your truck's design.
- Polycarbonate Construction — Manufactured from tough polycarbonate material, the same durable plastic used across the RC industry, these panels resist impact damage during rock crawling and provide the flexibility needed to absorb shocks without cracking or splitting.
- Easy Installation — Body panels are straightforward to remove and install on your FTX Mauler, requiring only basic RC knowledge and a few minutes of your time, making this an ideal upgrade for beginners and experienced rock crawlers alike.
- Authentic Styling — The bold red colour scheme enhances the aggressive truck aesthetic, giving your rock crawler a fresh, eye-catching appearance that stands out on the trail and in the pits.
Technical Performance
The FTX Mauler Painted Body Panels are engineered from polycarbonate, a material chosen for its superior durability and impact resistance in rock crawling applications where vehicles frequently encounter rocks, roots and rough terrain. Polycarbonate offers the perfect balance of rigidity and flexibility—it provides structural integrity to maintain the truck's aerodynamics and appearance whilst remaining flexible enough to absorb impacts without permanent deformation. The pre-painted red finish is applied to factory standards, ensuring uniform colour coverage and a professional appearance from day one. These panels are specifically designed for the 1:10 scale FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler, and they maintain perfect dimensional accuracy for seamless fitment to your chassis. Rock crawling places unique demands on body panels because vehicles operate at extreme angles and in tight spaces where contact with obstacles is inevitable. The robust construction of these panels means they can withstand the punishment of serious crawling without requiring constant replacement. For UK RC enthusiasts who engage in competitive rock crawling events or casual trail sessions, having quality replacement panels on hand is essential for maintaining your truck in peak condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX Mauler models are these body panels compatible with? — These painted panels are specifically designed for the FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR. They are available in both red (FTX8776R) and yellow (FTX8776Y) to match different truck variants, ensuring you get the exact colour match for your vehicle.
- Do I need to paint these body panels myself? — No, these are pre-painted panels that arrive ready to install. Unlike unpainted polycarbonate shells that require primer, paint and clear coat application, these panels come with a professional factory finish in vibrant red, saving you the time and expense of painting equipment and supplies.
- What material are these body panels made from? — The panels are constructed from polycarbonate, a durable plastic material that is the industry standard for RC body shells. Polycarbonate provides excellent impact resistance and flexibility, making it ideal for rock crawling where vehicles encounter rough terrain and obstacles regularly.
- Are these official FTX parts? — Yes, these are genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts from FTX, ensuring they meet factory specifications and will fit your Mauler 2.0 perfectly. As an authorised FTX retailer in the UK, RC Model Shop supplies only authentic components.
- How do I install these body panels on my Mauler? — Body panel installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools. You typically remove the existing panels by unclipping them from the chassis, then clip the new panels in place. The process takes just a few minutes and requires no special knowledge or experience, making this an ideal upgrade for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels.
- Will these panels fit my FTX Mauler if it's a different colour? — Yes, the body panels are mechanically identical across all Mauler 2.0 variants. However, these specific panels are painted red, so if your truck is the yellow variant, you may prefer to order the yellow panels (FTX8776Y) for colour matching, though there is no technical reason preventing you from using either colour.
