Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this body shell compatible with other RC car brands or just FTX Stinger? — This body shell is specifically engineered for the FTX Stinger 1:10 On-Road Street Brushless RTR Car platform. It is confirmed compatible with both the FTX5492R (Red variant) and FTX5492G (Grey variant). Compatibility with other RC car brands or models cannot be guaranteed, so it is essential to verify fitment before purchasing if you own a different vehicle platform.
- Do I need to paint this body shell myself? — No, this is one of the key advantages of this product. The body arrives fully assembled and pre-painted in an attractive grey finish, so you can install it immediately without any painting, sanding, or finishing work. This saves considerable time and ensures a professional appearance straight from the box.
- What material is this body shell made from and how durable is it? — The body is constructed from high-quality polycarbonate, which is the industry-standard material for RC body shells due to its excellent durability, impact resistance, and flexibility. Polycarbonate can withstand the stresses of on-road racing and general bashing whilst remaining light enough to maintain optimal performance in a ready to run RC setup.
- What are light buckets and why does this body include them? — Light buckets are integrated mounting points designed specifically to hold and secure LED light units, allowing you to add authentic lighting to your scale RC car for night running or display purposes. The inclusion of light buckets on this body demonstrates FTX's commitment to scale realism and customisation options, enabling enthusiasts to create fully detailed models with functioning lights.
- What scale is this body shell and what does 190mm on-road class mean? — This is a 1:10 scale body shell designed for the 190mm on-road class, which refers to vehicles with a 190mm wheelbase specifically engineered for street-style, high-speed on-road racing. The 1:10 scale means the model is approximately one-tenth the size of a real full-size car, maintaining proportionate dimensions throughout.
- Can I use this body on my existing RC car if it is not a FTX Stinger? — This body is specifically engineered for the FTX Stinger platform and compatibility with other RC cars cannot be guaranteed. Before purchasing, you should verify that your vehicle has the correct wheelbase length (190mm) and mounting points that align with FTX Stinger specifications. Installing an incompatible body may result in poor fitment and handling issues.
- Is this body shell waterproof? — Whilst polycarbonate material is naturally moisture-resistant, this body shell itself is not specifically rated as waterproof. The electrical systems and components inside your RC car should be protected from water exposure, so avoid running in wet conditions or through water unless your vehicle's electronics are specifically waterproofed by the manufacturer.
