Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Fury XC PVC Bodyshell is manufactured from premium PVC material that balances weight savings with durability, a critical consideration for 1/16th scale RC crawlers where chassis protection and vehicle weight distribution directly impact performance. The bodyshell's construction maintains the iconic Outback styling whilst providing adequate clearance for suspension articulation, electronic components, and radio antennas. PVC bodyshells are industry-standard components in RC vehicle design, offering superior impact resistance compared to polycarbonate alternatives for off-road applications. The red colour is applied using robust paint methods that resist UV fading during extended outdoor use, maintaining the vibrant finish across multiple RC sessions. At 1/16th scale, this bodyshell represents a refined engineering solution that combines authentic scale proportions with practical durability. The Outback Fury XC platform itself features impressive off-road credentials with responsive handling characteristics, and this bodyshell complements the vehicle's performance by maintaining aerodynamic stability during high-speed runs whilst offering driver visibility from multiple angles. Installation is straightforward, with integrated mounting bosses that align with standard FTX chassis post configurations, allowing quick installation and removal for maintenance or customisation purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this PVC bodyshell compatible with other FTX models? — No, this bodyshell is specifically engineered for the FTX Outback Fury XC 1/16th scale RC crawler. It will not fit other FTX models or scale platforms. Always verify model compatibility before purchasing replacement bodies for your RC car.
- Will this bodyshell fit my existing Outback Fury XC chassis? — Yes, this is a genuine OEM replacement bodyshell designed to fit FTX Outback Fury XC platforms perfectly. It will drop straight into place using your existing body posts and mounting hardware without modification.
- What is PVC bodyshell material and why is it used for RC cars? — PVC is a rigid plastic compound that offers excellent durability and impact resistance for RC vehicle bodies. Unlike polycarbonate, PVC does not require as frequent replacement after impacts, making it ideal for off-road crawlers that encounter rough terrain and potential collisions during RC driving sessions.
- Can I paint this red bodyshell a different colour? — Yes, the PVC material accepts RC body paint and markers designed for plastic surfaces. Many RC enthusiasts customise their bodyshells with spray paint, markers, or vinyl decals to create unique designs and colour schemes for their RC crawlers.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement bodyshell component rather than a complete RC vehicle, so it's intended for RC enthusiasts who already own an FTX Outback Fury XC. If you're new to RC, you'll want to start with a complete ready-to-run RC crawler kit that includes chassis, electronics, and all necessary components.
- What warranty coverage does this bodyshell include? — As a bodyshell component, warranty coverage is determined by FTX's standard parts warranty policy. Check with RC Model Shop for specific warranty details and support on defective products.
- How do I remove and install the bodyshell on my Outback Fury XC? — Bodyshell removal typically involves unclipping or unbolting the body posts from your chassis, lifting the current body away, and placing the new FTX bodyshell over the posts before securing with your existing fasteners. Consult your Outback Fury XC user manual for detailed installation instructions specific to your model year.
- Why would I need a replacement bodyshell for my RC car? — Replacement bodyshells are essential components for RC enthusiasts because bodies are exposed to impacts, UV damage, paint wear, and general deterioration during regular RC use. Whether from crashes, weathering, or cosmetic preferences, having replacement bodyshell options allows you to maintain your RC crawler's appearance and protection across multiple seasons of RC driving.
