Overview

The FTX Rokatan Painted PVC Body with Decals Applied in Black is a premium replacement bodyshell designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand authentic styling and professional finishing. This high-quality painted body comes complete with factory-applied decals, saving you time and effort whilst ensuring a perfectly executed design that looks stunning on the track or trail. Whether you're an experienced RC car builder in the UK or someone looking to refresh your existing 1/10th scale truck setup, this bodyshell offers exceptional value and authentic FTX branding that instantly transforms your RC vehicle's appearance.

FTX is renowned throughout the RC hobby community for delivering exceptional quality at accessible prices, and this Rokatan body exemplifies that commitment. The bodyshell is manufactured from durable PVC material, which is a popular choice among RC enthusiasts because it offers excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight. The pre-painted finish eliminates the need for airbrushes, paint booths or spray equipment, making this an ideal solution for hobbyists who want professional results without the technical expertise or investment in painting equipment. The factory-applied decals add authentic detail and character to your truck, giving it that polished, race-ready appearance straight out of the box.

This is a body-only component, meaning it's designed as a replacement shell for existing RC truck chassis and builds. If you're upgrading an older Rokatan model or customising your own build, this painted bodyshell with decals represents a fantastic upgrade that will immediately enhance the visual impact of your vehicle. Perfect for collectors, weekend bashers, and competitive RC enthusiasts alike, the FTX Rokatan body is a trusted choice for quality-conscious RC car UK buyers who refuse to compromise on finish and appearance.

Key Features

• Factory-Painted Professional Finish — The bodyshell arrives pre-painted in a striking black colour, eliminating the need for you to invest in painting equipment, masking materials or specialist airbrush skills. This saves both time and money whilst delivering a factory-quality finish that looks professional from day one.
• Decals Pre-Applied — Authentic FTX-branded decals come factory-applied to the body, ensuring precise alignment and professional presentation without the fiddly task of applying decals yourself. This attention to detail elevates the overall appearance and authenticity of your RC truck.
• Durable PVC Construction — The body is manufactured from tough PVC material, which provides excellent impact resistance during bashing and racing whilst remaining lightweight enough to maintain optimal performance. PVC is a standard choice for RC bodyshells because it absorbs impacts without cracking easily and survives rough terrain and occasional collisions.
• Designed for 1/10th Scale Trucks — This body is specifically engineered to fit 1/10th scale truck platforms, making it compatible with a wide range of FTX Rokatan chassis and similar 1/10th truck builds. This compatibility ensures a perfect fit and proper weight distribution.
• Quick Installation — As a replacement body component, installation requires minimal tools and technical knowledge. Simply remove your old body and attach this new shell to your existing chassis, making upgrades and customisation straightforward even for less experienced builders.
• Enhanced Visual Identity — The striking black colour combined with the applied decals gives your RC truck an aggressive, purposeful appearance that stands out at the track, trail or club meetings. This visual upgrade can be particularly satisfying if you're breathing new life into an older or tired-looking vehicle.

Technical Performance

The FTX Rokatan Painted PVC Body is engineered as a precision-fit replacement component for 1/10th scale truck builds. The body's material composition—durable PVC—has been carefully selected to balance durability with weight efficiency, ensuring that the added shell doesn't negatively impact your truck's handling characteristics or performance. PVC bodyshells are the industry standard in RC off-road trucks because they provide reliable impact protection whilst maintaining minimal rotational mass. The black painted finish has been applied using professional automotive-grade paint processes, which means the colour will resist fading from UV exposure and maintain its rich, deep appearance through extended outdoor use. The pre-applied decals use factory-quality adhesion and printing techniques, ensuring they remain adhered and vibrant even after exposure to water, mud and dust that's typical in RC bashings and competitive racing. This bodyshell is compatible with all standard 1/10th truck chassis platforms, though specific fitment may vary depending on your exact chassis model, so it's recommended to verify compatibility with your particular build before ordering if you're uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this body fit my FTX Rokatan chassis? — Yes, this painted bodyshell is specifically designed as a replacement component for the FTX Rokatan platform. However, if you own a different FTX 1/10th scale truck model, you should verify compatibility before purchasing, as fitment varies between different chassis designs. Contact the RC Model Shop team if you're unsure about your specific build.
• Do I need to paint or finish this body myself? — No, this is one of the key advantages of this product. The body arrives completely factory-painted in professional black and includes pre-applied decals. You can mount it directly onto your chassis without any additional finishing work required, making it perfect for hobbyists who don't want to invest in airbrushing equipment or painting skills.
• Can I remove or replace the decals? — The factory-applied decals are adhered using professional-grade vinyl adhesive. While it's technically possible to carefully remove them with heat and patience, they're designed to be permanent. If you want to customise with your own decals, you may need to carefully remove these first. However, most buyers prefer to keep the authentic FTX branding as it looks fantastic and is difficult to replicate.
• How durable is PVC for RC truck bodies? — PVC is an excellent choice for RC bodyshells and is the standard material used throughout the industry. It provides outstanding impact resistance, meaning your body will withstand crashes, rollovers and rough terrain without cracking. The material is slightly flexible, which allows it to absorb impacts rather than shatter, making it far more practical than rigid plastics for bashing and racing applications.
• Will this body work with aftermarket wheels and upgrades? — Yes, as a bodyshell component, this will work alongside any compatible aftermarket wheels, tyres, suspension upgrades or performance modifications you add to your chassis. Body and chassis are independent systems, so you can mix and match components as you prefer.
• Is this body suitable for racing or just bashing? — The FTX Rokatan body is suitable for both competitive racing and recreational bashing. The tough PVC construction handles the rigours of competition whilst the professional appearance makes it equally at home in casual weekend driving sessions. Many RC car UK racers and bashers appreciate FTX's reputation for quality at every price point.
• What's the best way to protect the paint and decals? — Whilst PVC and factory paint are fairly resilient, you can extend their lifespan by rinsing the body with fresh water after muddy drives and allowing it to dry completely before storage. Avoid leaving your truck in direct sunlight for extended periods when not in use, as this can eventually cause colour fading. Store your RC truck indoors and covered when possible.
• Can I order this if I don't have a Rokatan yet? — Yes, you can purchase this body for future use or as a spare component. However, you'll need to ensure you have a compatible 1/10th scale truck chassis to mount it on. If you're new to the hobby and building your first RC truck, we recommend consulting with our expert team at RC Model Shop to ensure all your components work together harmoniously.
