The mustard yellow finish is eye-catching and distinctive, setting your RC crawler apart from standard colour options whilst maintaining authentic scale appearance.

The van body is a departure from traditional off-road designs, bringing a touch of retro charm to your rock crawling adventures.

The pre-painted finish and included decal sheet mean you can have a show-ready rock crawler without needing painting equipment or spray booth access—simply install the body on your chassis and you're ready to hit the trails. For UK RC enthusiasts who appreciate scale authenticity combined with genuine off-road capability, this van body delivers both in equal measure.

Key Features

• Complete Pre-Painted Body Shell — This is not a bare bodyshell requiring paint work; it arrives fully finished in an eye-catching mustard yellow colour that demands attention on any crawling course. The pre-painted approach saves significant time and eliminates the need for spray equipment, making this an accessible option for all skill levels.
• Printed Decal Sheet Included — Professional-quality decals are supplied and ready to apply, adding authenticity and personalisation to your finished crawler. These decals complete the retro van aesthetic and give your rock crawler a cohesive, finished appearance straight from the box.
• 1/18 Scale Engineering — Designed to precise 1/18 scale proportions, this body maintains accurate proportional representation of a full-size van. The compact 1/18 scale is perfect for indoor venues, small outdoor spaces, and detailed crawling courses where scale authenticity matters.
• Rock Crawler Specific Design — This body is engineered specifically for the rock crawling category, meaning it's optimised for the suspension articulation, wheel travel, and approach angles required for genuine off-road performance. Unlike generic bodies, this design works in harmony with the Outback Mini XP Evo chassis characteristics.
• FTX Outback Mini XP Evo Compatibility — This body is precision-engineered to fit the FTX Outback Mini XP Evo platform exclusively. This ensures perfect body-to-chassis alignment, proper ground clearance, and authentic scale appearance without modifications required.
• Distinctive Mustard Yellow Finish — The mustard yellow colour is a bold choice that stands apart from conventional RC crawler colours like black, red, and blue. This distinctive finish makes your rock crawler instantly recognisable on any crawling course and reflects the retro van design philosophy.
• Ready-to-Install Solution — With everything needed for installation supplied (body, decals, and fastener set available separately), this is a straightforward swap if you're replacing an existing body or completing a custom build.

Technical Performance

The FTX Outback Mini XP Evo Van Complete Body is manufactured using durable materials optimised for rock crawling environments. The body shell construction is designed to withstand contact with rocks, obstacles, and terrain whilst maintaining structural integrity during aggressive crawling sessions. The pre-painted finish provides UV protection and maintains its colour vibrancy through extended outdoor use. At 1/18 scale, this body is significantly more manageable than larger 1/10 or 1/8 scale alternatives, making it ideal for intricate indoor courses, back garden setups, and detailed scale crawler competitions. The complete body includes all panels, windows, and structural components needed for a finished appearance. The printed decal sheet adds authentic detail that would normally require custom artwork or vinyl application. This body integrates seamlessly with the FTX Outback Mini XP Evo chassis, which features the engineering necessary for genuine rock crawling performance including articulated suspension, realistic ground clearance, and authentic approach angles that make the van body look genuinely proportioned and purposeful rather than oversized or awkward.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this body fit other FTX models or only the Outback Mini XP Evo? — This body is engineered specifically for the FTX Outback Mini XP Evo platform and is not compatible with other FTX models or different brands' chassis. The fitment is precision-designed for this specific chassis to ensure proper alignment, clearance, and proportional appearance. Attempting to fit it to other platforms will result in poor fitment and may cause damage to both body and chassis.
• Do I need painting equipment to complete this body? — No, that's one of the major advantages of this product. The body arrives completely pre-painted in its striking mustard yellow finish. You simply need to apply the included decals and install it on your chassis. This makes the FTX Outback Mini XP Evo Van an excellent choice for hobbyists who don't have access to spray equipment or dedicated painting space.
• What fasteners do I need to secure this body to the chassis? — The FTX Outback Mini XP Evo Van Screw Set (FTX9354V) is the correct fastener set designed specifically for this van body. These screws are engineered to the correct length and gauge for proper body retention without over-tightening or damaging the shell. The screw set is available separately and is essential for completing the installation.
• Is the decal sheet pre-applied or does it need application? — The decal sheet is included and ready to apply. You have the choice to apply all decals, none, or a custom selection depending on your preferred appearance. The decals are printed to scale and add significant visual detail to the finished van body, enhancing the retro aesthetic.
• How does the 1/18 scale compare to larger RC crawler bodies? — At 1/18 scale, this body is considerably more compact than 1/10 scale alternatives, making it ideal for tight spaces, indoor venues, and detailed crawling courses where precision is valued over raw scale. The smaller size doesn't compromise durability or appearance quality; it simply offers different practical advantages for specific RC environments and use cases.
• What's the difference between this van body and the Unitrak or other Outback Mini XP Evo body options? — The FTX Outback Mini XP Evo range offers multiple body styles to suit different preferences. The van body offers retro, distinctive styling with a boxy profile. The Unitrak body provides a different aesthetic. Each body is pre-painted in different colour options (this van comes in mustard yellow or metal gun grey). Your choice depends on the visual appearance you prefer for your rock crawler, as all bodies maintain the same mechanical compatibility with the Outback Mini XP Evo chassis.
• Is this body suitable for competitive rock crawling events? — Yes, the FTX Outback Mini XP Evo platform is widely used in rock crawling competitions, and this van body maintains full compatibility with competitive setups. However, confirm with your specific event organisers that body style restrictions don't apply to your particular competition, as some events may have specifications regarding body types or silhouettes.
• How durable is the pre-painted finish in outdoor use? — The pre-painted finish is designed for outdoor rock crawling use and provides UV protection to maintain colour vibrancy. Like all painted finishes, it will show wear and colour variation with extended use, rock contact, and weathering. Touching up with hobby paint is simple if minor repairs become necessary. The durability is professional-grade suitable for regular outdoor crawling rather than cosmetic display purposes.
