Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a body post and why do I need it? — Body posts are the structural connectors that link your RC crawler's chassis to its bodywork. They maintain the correct ride height and keep the body properly aligned and positioned on the chassis. When you crash, hit obstacles hard, or simply wear out the components through extensive use, the body posts can crack, bend, or deteriorate. Replacing them restores your vehicle's proper geometry and ensures your Outback Hi-Rock maintains its designed handling characteristics and appearance.
- Will these body posts fit my FTX Outback Hi-Rock? — Yes, absolutely. These posts are specifically designed to be compatible with the FTX Outback Hi-Rock 4x4 RTR 1/10 trail rock crawler (model FTX5587). FTX manufactures these as genuine OEM replacement parts, so they will fit precisely without any modifications or adjustments needed.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, these are genuine FTX original equipment manufacturer parts. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, an authorised FTX retailer in the UK, you can be confident you're receiving authentic factory components, not cheap imitations or aftermarket alternatives that might not fit properly or provide the same quality.
- How difficult is it to replace body posts? — Replacing body posts is one of the simpler maintenance tasks you can perform on your RC crawler. Most FTX trail crawlers use straightforward bolt-on body post systems that require only basic tools and a few minutes of your time. If you're comfortable working on your RC vehicle, this is a job you can easily handle yourself.
- Can I use these on any FTX model? — These body posts are specifically engineered for the FTX Outback Hi-Rock 4x4 RTR. Whilst other FTX models may have similar designs, it's important to verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing. Always check your vehicle's manual or contact our team at RC Model Shop for guidance if you're uncertain about fitment.
- What's the difference between front and rear body posts? — Different designs are often required for front and rear mounting points due to the varying geometry and forces at each end of the vehicle. This set includes both front and rear specific posts, ensuring proper fitment and function at each location on your Outback Hi-Rock.
