Overview
The FTX Vantage 2.0 Printed Red/Black/White Body is a premium replacement bodyshell designed for RC enthusiasts who want to refresh their buggy's appearance or replace a damaged shell. As a dedicated RC car UK retailer, we understand that bodyshells are essential components for any serious RC buggy builder or basher. This professionally pre-painted shell comes ready to use straight out of the box, eliminating the need for lengthy paint preparation and allowing you to get back to driving in minutes rather than days. Whether you're looking to customise your existing Vantage buggy or simply want a fresh look, this vibrant red, black and white colour scheme delivers striking visual impact on the track or trail.
The FTX Vantage 2.0 is recognised as one of the best value 1/10 scale 4WD buggies in the ready to run RC market, and this bodyshell is designed specifically to enhance that platform. It's the perfect upgrade for anyone who owns a brushed or brushless Vantage model and wants to maintain their investment with quality replacement parts. The printed finish ensures durability and professional appearance, making this an ideal choice for weekend bashers and recreational drivers who demand reliability alongside style.
This is not a complete buggy but rather a precision-engineered bodyshell component that replaces the body on compatible Vantage models. It comes with a decal sheet, allowing you to personalise your RC buggy further with authentic FTX branding and graphics. For anyone serious about their RC hobby, having spare bodyshells on hand is essential—they protect your chassis during impacts and allow for quick cosmetic updates between sessions.
Key Features
- Pre-Painted Professional Finish — This bodyshell arrives fully painted in a striking red, black and white colour scheme, eliminating hours of preparation work. You won't need to spend time primer coating, base coating, or clear coating; simply mount it on your chassis and you're ready to drive. This saves RC enthusiasts significant time and removes the need for painting equipment and skills.
- Includes Authentic Decal Sheet — The package comes with a complete decal sheet featuring official FTX graphics and branding, allowing you to customise the appearance of your RC buggy exactly as you prefer. These decals add authenticity and detail that make your buggy stand out at the track or in the park.
- Compatible with Multiple Vantage Models — This shell fits the FTX Vantage Brushed 2.0 Buggy, the FTX Vantage Brushless Buggy, and the FTX Vantage Brushed Buggy, making it an excellent spare part for owners across the Vantage range. This broad compatibility means you're investing in a part that covers multiple platforms in the FTX lineup.
- 1/10 Scale Buggy Class — As a 1/10 scale body shell, this component is designed for the hugely popular and accessible 1/10 buggy class, which dominates the RC car UK scene. The 1/10 scale offers the perfect balance between portability, affordability and performance.
- Printed Body Material — The printed construction ensures durability and weather resistance, protecting the underlying chassis from impact damage during aggressive driving. The printed finish is less prone to chipping than hand-painted alternatives and maintains its colour vibrancy longer.
- Replacement Component — This is a genuine FTX replacement bodyshell, meaning you're purchasing a quality OEM component rather than an aftermarket alternative. Using genuine parts ensures proper fitment and maintains the integrity of your RC buggy investment.
Technical Performance
The FTX Vantage 2.0 Printed Bodyshell represents professional-grade bodywork engineering designed for the 1/10 scale off-road buggy category. The printed finish provides a hard-wearing, UV-resistant coating that protects against the elements and the inevitable crashes that come with RC driving. The shell's construction uses quality printed materials that won't fade quickly in sunlight, and the vibrant red, black and white colour combination is applied with precision to ensure sharp lines and professional appearance. The body mounts securely to compatible Vantage chassis platforms, and the overall aerodynamics are optimised for the 1/10 buggy class. The printed approach to painting means no runs, drips, or imperfections—you're getting factory-quality results that would take hours to achieve with hand painting. This shell is engineered to work specifically with the Vantage Brushed and Brushless platforms, ensuring perfect fitment without modifications. The decal sheet included allows for personalisation whilst maintaining structural integrity, as the printed base coat is durable enough to withstand decal application and removal without damage. For serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and professional appearance, this bodyshell delivers on both fronts.

- How durable is the printed finish? — The printed finish is designed to withstand the typical wear and tear of RC driving, including minor impacts, weather exposure and casual crashes. The factory-applied printed coating is more durable than hand-painted alternatives and resistant to UV fading. For major impacts or cracks, replacement is the recommended solution rather than repair.
