Technical Performance
The FTX Mauler Painted Body Panels represent a straightforward yet essential component upgrade for serious rock crawlers. Manufactured from polycarbonate material, the same durable plastic used in professional rock crawling and off-road RC vehicles across the UK and internationally, these panels deliver the toughness required for demanding terrain. The pre-painted yellow finish is applied using production-grade paint systems that provide excellent colour consistency, UV resistance, and durability against the elements. At 1/10 scale, the panels are proportioned perfectly for the Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler platform, one of the most respected rock crawler chassis designs available to UK hobbyists. The engineering ensures that the panels integrate seamlessly with all mechanical systems of the Mauler 2.0, including the suspension, steering, and drivetrain, without any interference or clearance issues. Replacement body panels like these are essential consumables for serious rock crawlers, as aggressive terrain, rock contact, and collision impacts are inevitable during competitive crawling and trail bashing. Having spare panels in your garage means you can keep your rock crawler in action throughout the season without extended downtime for repairs or custom fabrication work.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these body panels compatible with all FTX Mauler models? — These painted body panels are specifically designed and tested for compatibility with the FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR (both yellow and red variants, model codes FTX5575Y2 and FTX5575R2). If you own an earlier generation Mauler or a different FTX rock crawler model, please verify compatibility before ordering by checking your chassis model number.
- Do I need any tools or expertise to install these panels? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic hand tools such as a screwdriver. The panels mount directly to your existing Mauler 2.0 chassis using the original mounting points with no modification required. Most users can complete installation in under ten minutes, making this an ideal upgrade for beginners and experienced RC enthusiasts alike.
- Will I need to paint or finish these panels when they arrive? — No, the pre-painted yellow finish is completely ready to install straight from the box. Unlike unpainted polycarbonate shells which require primer, paint application, and protective coating, these panels arrive fully finished and ready for use immediately upon receipt.
- What's the benefit of yellow compared to other body colours available? — The bright yellow finish provides excellent visibility on the trail, making it easier to track your rock crawler vehicle in outdoor lighting conditions, across varied terrain, and during photo and video sessions. Yellow also creates a striking contrast that helps your Mauler stand out at RC clubs, events, and meets across the UK.
- How durable are polycarbonate body panels for rock crawling? — Polycarbonate is specifically selected for rock crawling applications because it combines impact resistance, flexibility, and durability. Unlike rigid materials, polycarbonate can absorb impacts from rocks, obstacles, and terrain contact without shattering, making it ideal for the demanding conditions of trail and competition rock crawling.
- Why would I need replacement body panels? — Rock crawling inevitably involves contact with rocks, obstacles, and rough terrain. Over time and through aggressive crawling sessions, body panels may develop cracks, dents, or damage. Keeping spare panels allows you to maintain your Mauler's appearance and keep it in action throughout the crawling season without extended downtime for repairs or custom fabrication.
- Are these genuine FTX products? — Yes, these are authentic FTX manufactured panels, identical to those supplied with new Mauler 2.0 rock crawlers. When you order through RC Model Shop, you receive genuine FTX parts backed by the authorised dealer guarantee and our commitment to customer satisfaction.
