Technical Performance

The FTX FURY X Printed Dropcab Body is engineered with careful attention to the specific requirements of 1/10th scale rock crawling. The printed body material offers an excellent balance of durability and weight efficiency, crucial factors in climbing and traversing difficult terrain where every gram of unsprung weight impacts performance. At 313mm wheelbase, the body is perfectly proportioned to work with the Fury X suspension geometry, maintaining proper weight distribution and centre of gravity for optimal traction and stability when navigating rocky obstacles. The pre-painted finish has been applied using professional methods to ensure even coverage, colour consistency and resistance to weathering during outdoor crawling sessions. The dropcab configuration places the cabin forward on the chassis, a design characteristic that improves rear weight bias and helps with weight transfer during climbing. This bodyshell has been designed to integrate with all existing Fury X mechanics and electronics without modification, making it an ideal upgrade for anyone wanting to refresh their crawler's appearance whilst maintaining proven performance characteristics.

• What scale is the FTX FURY X Printed Dropcab Body? — This is a 1/10th scale body shell, designed specifically for 1/10th scale RC crawlers and rock crawling vehicles. The 1/10th scale category is the most popular size for serious rock crawling enthusiasts in the UK, offering the perfect balance between detail, performance and portability.
• Will this body shell fit my existing FTX Fury X chassis? — Yes, this body is engineered specifically for the FTX Outback Fury platform with a 313mm wheelbase. If you own an FTX Fury X, this body shell will fit directly onto your existing chassis without any modifications or adjustments required.
• Is the body pre-painted or do I need to paint it myself? — The body arrives fully pre-painted in blue, so you can install it immediately without any painting, sanding or preparation work. This saves considerable time and allows you to get back to crawling quickly.
• What is the dropcab design and why is it popular for rock crawlers? — The dropcab configuration places the cabin area lower and further forward on the chassis compared to traditional cab-over designs. This layout improves weight distribution during climbing, enhances visual realism that appeals to scale crawling competitors, and has become iconic in the rock crawling community for its combination of aesthetics and practical performance benefits.
• Can I use this body on other FTX models? — This body shell is specifically designed for the FTX Outback Fury with its 313mm wheelbase and proportions. Whilst some FTX models may share similar dimensions, fitment on other models cannot be guaranteed without verification of wheelbase and mounting points.
• How difficult is it to install this body on my RC crawler? — Body shell installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools and RC knowledge. You'll need to remove your existing body, transfer any mounting brackets if necessary, and secure the new shell in place. Most users can complete this task in under 30 minutes.
• Is this suitable for competitive rock crawling? — Yes, this is an excellent choice for competitive crawling enthusiasts. The authentic dropcab styling is popular in rock crawling competitions, and the quality printed construction ensures durability through extended use on challenging terrain.
• Will the blue colour fade if I use this body outdoors? — The pre-applied paint finish has been professionally applied to resist fading through normal outdoor use. However, like any painted RC body, extended exposure to direct sunlight can gradually affect colour vibrancy. For best results, store your RC crawler indoors when not in use.
