Key Features
- Clear Polycarbonate Material — The transparent construction allows you to display the internal mechanics and components of your FTX Outback Fury whilst providing excellent protection against impacts, mud, and weathering during outdoor rock crawling sessions. Polycarbonate is renowned in the RC hobby for its impact resistance and durability compared to alternative body materials.
- Un-Painted Finish — This bodyshell arrives completely unpainted, providing you with a blank canvas to create your own custom colour scheme, paint job, or scale appearance. Whether you want to apply realistic camouflage patterns, vibrant racing colours, or exact scale replicas of full-size vehicles, the un-painted format gives you complete creative freedom.
- Genuine FTX Component — As an official FTX product, this bodyshell is engineered with precision tolerances to fit perfectly on the Outback Fury platform. Authentic OEM parts ensure proper alignment, aerodynamics, and structural integrity that you won't always get with aftermarket alternatives available from other RC shops.
- Included Decal Sheet — The package includes a comprehensive decal sheet with authentic FTX Fury graphics and branding, allowing you to create a fully finished look immediately upon assembly, or to mix and match decals with your custom paint scheme.
- Window Masks Included — Professional-grade window masking is provided to simplify the painting and decal application process. These masks help you achieve clean, professional lines when applying custom paint or decals around the window areas, reducing preparation time and improving the final aesthetic.
- 1/10 Scale Design — Perfectly proportioned for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, this bodyshell maintains authentic scale appearance whilst providing sufficient interior space for modern RC components and servo placement typical of this popular scale category.
- Rock Crawler Specific Geometry — The body design is optimised for rock crawling performance, with protective features and geometry that work harmoniously with the Outback Fury's chassis and suspension setup to maximise ground clearance and obstacle navigation.
Technical Performance
The FTX Fury Bodyshell represents a significant upgrade path for UK RC enthusiasts who already own an Outback Fury chassis or are considering purchasing one. Constructed from high-quality polycarbonate, this material has been the industry standard for RC bodyshells for decades, providing an excellent balance between weight, durability, and impact resistance. The clear finish is particularly popular among rock crawling competitors because it allows judges and spectators to see the quality of your chassis setup whilst maintaining full protective coverage. The un-painted format means you're starting with a clean slate — no need to strip existing paint or deal with factory colours that might not match your preference. The inclusion of both a decal sheet and window masks demonstrates FTX's attention to detail; these accessories are often sold separately and represent significant savings. For those building or rebuilding a 1/10 scale rock crawler in the UK, compatibility is paramount, and this genuine FTX component ensures seamless integration with your Outback Fury platform. The bodyshell's geometry has been specifically engineered for the Fury's wheelbase, track width, and suspension articulation, meaning you get optimal performance without modification. Whether you're preparing for rock crawling events, competition trials, or casual weekend bashing, this bodyshell provides the quality foundation that experienced RC enthusiasts expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Fury Bodyshell suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst this is a replacement bodyshell and assumes you already have a complete FTX Outback Fury RTR platform, customising and painting bodyshells is an excellent introduction to the creative side of RC hobbying. The inclusion of window masks means even first-time painters can achieve professional-looking results. If you're new to RC and want a ready-to-run crawler, you would typically purchase a complete Outback Fury RTR kit first, then use this bodyshell as an upgrade or spare.
- What paint should I use on this polycarbonate bodyshell? — Polycarbonate bodyshells require speciality paint formulated specifically for plastic substrates. Look for polycarbonate-compatible paints from brands like Tamiya, Hpi, Lexan, or other established RC paint manufacturers. Avoid standard automotive paint or acrylic paints unless specifically marked as compatible with polycarbonate. Always apply a primer designed for plastic before painting for best adhesion and durability. A clear polycarbonate-safe topcoat will protect your paint from UV damage and impact.
- Will this bodyshell fit my FTX Outback Fury? — Yes, this is the genuine FTX factory bodyshell designed specifically for the FTX Outback Fury platform. It will fit perfectly without modification. If you own a different FTX model such as the Mini Outback, Edge, or Siege, please verify the part number matches your vehicle before purchasing, as each model has its own bodyshell specification.
- What is polycarbonate and why is it used for RC bodyshells? — Polycarbonate is a tough, lightweight thermoplastic material that is significantly more impact-resistant than standard plastics. In the RC hobby, polycarbonate has been the gold standard for bodyshells for many years because it can withstand crashes, impacts with rocks and obstacles, and repeated flexing without cracking or shattering. The clear finish allows light transmission so you can see internal components, and it can be easily painted with speciality RC paints. This makes it ideal for rock crawlers like the Outback Fury that encounter rough terrain.
- Do I need to prepare the bodyshell before painting? — Yes, proper preparation is important for professional results. Wash the bodyshell with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (1000 grit or higher) to provide adhesion for primer and paint. Clean away all sanding dust with a tack cloth or damp cloth. Apply a polycarbonate-compatible primer before painting, following the manufacturer's instructions. This preparation process takes 30-60 minutes but makes a significant difference in paint durability and appearance.
- Can I use the window masks multiple times? — Window masks are typically single-use items. However, if you handle them carefully when removing them after painting, they may be reusable on future paint jobs. That said, assume they are single-use consumables. If you plan to paint multiple bodyshells or experiment with different schemes, you may wish to purchase additional masking tape or window mask sets from RC specialist suppliers.
- What colours of bodyshells are available? — FTX produces the Fury bodyshell in different colour options including clear (which is included in this listing) and other painted variants. If you want a pre-painted option, check with your RC retailer for alternative SKUs. The clear option is popular because it allows full customisation — you can paint it any colour imaginable.
- Is this bodyshell waterproof? — Polycarbonate bodyshells are water-resistant and will protect your chassis from splashes, rain, and mud. However, they are not hermetically sealed, so electronics should still be protected with waterproofing sealant on your chassis components as normal. The bodyshell itself will shed water effectively.
