Overview
The FTX Khaos Body Post Set FTX6788 is an essential replacement spare part for owners of the FTX Khaos 1/10 Brushless 4WD Truggy. Whether you're a weekend basher, competition driver, or RC enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your truggy in top condition, this body post set ensures your vehicle's bodywork remains securely mounted and perfectly positioned. Body posts are critical components that hold your RC car's body shell firmly in place whilst allowing for easy removal and installation, making them one of the most frequently replaced wear items in any RC collection.

This is a direct fit component designed specifically for the FTX Khaos Truggy platform, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance. The FTX Khaos has earned its reputation as a capable 1/10 scale brushless 4WD truggy that delivers impressive speed and durability, and maintaining genuine OEM parts like this body post set is key to keeping your investment running smoothly for years to come. Whether you've damaged your existing posts through aggressive driving, extended use, or simple wear and tear, this FTX spare part represents excellent value and reliability. RC car UK enthusiasts and truggy fans will appreciate the convenience of sourcing authentic FTX parts from a trusted retailer.
The body post set is a chassis spare that forms part of FTX's comprehensive range of spares and upgrades for the Khaos platform. Stocking genuine OEM spares means you can maintain your brushless RC truggy with confidence, knowing you're using components engineered and tested by the manufacturers to the same standards as the original assembly. This is particularly important for the body mounting system, where proper fit and security directly impact handling, aerodynamics, and overall vehicle appearance during high-speed runs.

Technical Performance
The FTX Khaos Body Post Set represents precision-engineered chassis hardware designed to withstand the demanding requirements of 1/10 scale brushless RC truggy operation. The Khaos platform itself features a robust 1/10 brushless 4WD architecture with serious speed and agility, powered by advanced brushless motor technology and modern speed control electronics. Body posts must be manufactured from durable materials capable of enduring the repeated stresses of mounting and dismounting heavy polycarbonate or composite body shells, particularly during high-speed driving where aerodynamic forces and impacts place significant loads on the mounting points. The FTX engineering team has developed these posts to maintain their integrity through extended use, whether you're enjoying casual weekend bashing or competitive racing with your Khaos truggy. The posts are precision-fitted to work with the Khaos bodywork and chassis design, ensuring your body sits at the correct height and position for optimal aerodynamics and visual presentation. Quality materials and consistent manufacturing tolerances mean that replacement sets will perform identically to your original equipment, maintaining the vehicle's handling characteristics and appearance through multiple body changes or rebuilds.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Khaos Body Post Set suitable for both colour variants of the Khaos? — Yes, this body post set is compatible with both the FTX5564P Purple variant and the FTX5564B Blue variant of the FTX Khaos 1/10 Brushless 4WD Truggy. The body posts are mechanically identical regardless of bodywork colour, as they are internal chassis components that remain the same across all Khaos models.
- Why would I need to replace my body posts? — Body posts experience repeated stress from mounting and dismounting your RC car's bodywork, from impacts during crashes, and from vibration during high-speed driving. Over time, posts can crack, break, or wear down, preventing your body from sitting properly. Having a replacement set ensures you can quickly restore your truggy to full condition without extended downtime.
- Are these posts difficult to install? — No, FTX body posts are designed for straightforward installation. The standardised press-fit or screw-down design means you can install them in minutes using basic tools. Most RC drivers with experience maintaining their vehicles will find installation very simple and intuitive.
- Will these posts work with aftermarket bodies or only the original FTX bodywork? — These posts are designed specifically for the FTX Khaos platform and original FTX bodywork. If you intend to fit non-OEM bodies from other manufacturers, compatibility cannot be guaranteed as different body designs may have different mounting hole patterns or spacings. For best results and guaranteed fitment, use authentic FTX bodies and spares together.
- How often should I inspect or replace my body posts? — Inspect your posts regularly if you're an active RC driver, particularly if you've had impacts or crashes. Many racers keep spare sets of posts in their spares box ready for quick replacement. With typical weekend bashing use, posts may last many months before replacement becomes necessary, but heavy competition use may require more frequent checks.
- Can I use this set as a preventative spare to keep in my toolkit? — Absolutely. Many experienced RC enthusiasts keep replacement spares of frequently-used components like body posts, shock parts, suspension links, and fasteners ready in their workshop so they can continue driving without interruption if something breaks during a session. This is sensible maintenance planning and keeps your Khaos on the track or field.
