Key Features

• Pre-Painted Red Finish — The body arrives fully painted in an eye-catching red colour, eliminating the need for time-consuming painting and preparation work. This means you can have your RC car looking showroom-ready in minutes rather than spending hours masking, spraying, and sanding.
• Assembled Ready to Fit — The bodyshell comes assembled and ready to install on your FTX Stinger chassis, meaning no complex body gluing or assembly steps are required. Simply fit it to your car and you're ready to race or bash.
• Polycarbonate Construction — The durable polycarbonate material provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, offering superior impact resistance that withstands crashes and bashful driving whilst keeping the overall weight optimised for on-road performance and speed.
• Light Buckets Included — Integrated light buckets are moulded into the body, allowing you to add optional LED lighting for night-time running or street-legal appearance modifications. This feature opens up countless customisation possibilities for building your dream RC street car.
• Authentic Street Car Styling — The design follows genuine automotive proportions and detail lines that reflect real street car aesthetics, giving your 1/10 scale on-road RC car a genuinely impressive appearance that turns heads at the track or at RC meet-ups.
• 190mm On-Road Class — Engineered specifically for the 190mm on-road class, this body is optimised for high-speed performance on smooth surfaces, offering excellent aerodynamic balance and handling characteristics that enhance your driving experience.
• Compatible with FTX Stinger Models — This bodyshell is designed to fit both the FTX5492R (red) and FTX5492G (grey) FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road street brushless RTR cars, providing flexibility if you own multiple chassis or want to swap between different colour schemes.

Technical Performance

The FTX Stinger Assembled Painted Body is engineered to deliver exceptional on-road performance characteristics that complement the brushless motor and electronic speed controller of your RTR car. The 1/10 scale design maintains precise proportions that optimise aerodynamics at the speeds achievable with brushless electric power, contributing to stability at high velocity and improved handling during competitive racing or casual bashing sessions. The polycarbonate shell weighs significantly less than alternatives like lexan or resin, which means your brushless motor doesn't have to work as hard to accelerate the vehicle, translating directly into improved battery runtime and responsiveness. The pre-painted finish is applied to factory specifications, ensuring even colour coverage and professional appearance that rivals custom paint jobs. The integrated light buckets are precision-moulded into the body structure, allowing straightforward installation of optional LED lighting systems without requiring modifications to the core shell. This 190mm on-road class body is specifically calibrated for the FTX Stinger chassis geometry, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal weight distribution. Whether you're running your FTX Stinger on a smooth concrete track, an asphalt car park, or even at an indoor carpet racing facility, this bodyshell provides the combination of durability, light weight, and authentic styling that serious on-road RC enthusiasts demand from their equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the FTX Stinger body shell compatible with other 1/10 on-road RC cars? — This bodyshell is specifically designed for the FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road street brushless RTR car (models FTX5492R and FTX5492G). Whilst it may be physically possible to fit it to other 1/10 scale chassis, fitment and alignment cannot be guaranteed on non-Stinger vehicles. We recommend using it exclusively with the FTX Stinger chassis for optimal performance and appearance.
• Do I need to paint the body myself? — No, the body arrives pre-painted in a professional red finish. This is one of the key advantages of choosing the assembled painted version — you save hours of preparation, masking, painting, and finishing work that would be required with an unpainted bodyshell.
• Can I add LED lights to this body? — Yes, the bodyshell features integrated light buckets specifically designed for optional LED light installation. You can add LED light sets separately to create a street-legal appearance or for night-time running, adding genuine customisation value to your Stinger.
• What battery does the FTX Stinger need? — The FTX Stinger RTR cars are brushless electric vehicles powered by rechargeable LiPo batteries. Whilst this bodyshell itself doesn't determine battery requirements, the Stinger chassis typically uses 2S or 3S LiPo batteries depending on the specific RTR kit configuration. Please refer to your RTR documentation or contact us for precise battery compatibility information.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The pre-painted, pre-assembled nature of this bodyshell makes it ideal for beginners who want to customise an existing RTR car without tackling complex painting or body assembly. Simply remove your old body, fit this new shell, and you're ready to drive. No specialist skills required.
• What is the difference between the red and grey Stinger bodies? — This is the red version of the FTX Stinger body shell. The only difference between this and the grey version is the colour of the factory-applied paint finish. Both are identical in size, fit, features, and performance. The choice comes down to personal preference and which colour scheme appeals to you more.
• Is the polycarbonate construction durable? — Yes, polycarbonate is a proven material choice for RC bodyshells, offering excellent impact resistance that absorbs crashes and minor collisions without shattering. It's lighter than many alternatives, which helps with overall vehicle performance and battery runtime. However, like all RC bodyshells, it can eventually crack with extreme impacts, and replacement is recommended if damage occurs.
