Technical Performance
The FTX GRAND APACHE L/R Rear Fender is engineered as a component part for the FTX Grand Apache 1/7 brushless 8S trophy truck platform. As a bodywork panel rather than a powered component, this fender doesn't contribute directly to speed or acceleration but plays an essential protective role in the overall vehicle system. The Grand Apache itself is powered by brushless 8S LiPo technology, delivering serious power and speed capabilities that demand robust protective bodywork. The rear fender shields the suspension components, rear shock towers and wheel wells from mud, rocks, dirt and other debris encountered during aggressive off-road driving. FTX's manufacturing standards ensure this fender is constructed from quality polymer materials that resist cracking and maintain their colour and finish through extended use. The fender mounts securely to the Grand Apache's frame using integrated mounting points that align perfectly with the factory chassis design. For owners of ready-to-run RC trophy trucks, having spare bodywork panels on hand is essential maintenance practice, ensuring your Grand Apache remains protected and presentable whether you're competing in RC off-road events or simply enjoying weekend bashing sessions on UK terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX Grand Apache models is this rear fender compatible with? — This L/R rear fender is compatible with the FTX Grand Apache 1/7 Brushless 8S Trophy Truck, specifically the Blue variant (FTX5489BL) and Red variant (FTX5489R). If you own either of these genuine FTX Grand Apache models, this fender will fit perfectly without modification.
- Is this a genuine FTX part or an aftermarket replacement? — This is a genuine OEM FTX part manufactured to factory specifications. The product code FTX11257 is the official FTX designation for this component, ensuring you receive authentic quality and perfect fitment.
- Do I need any special tools to install this rear fender? — No, installation of this rear fender is straightforward and requires only basic RC car maintenance knowledge. It uses the standard mounting points on your Grand Apache chassis, so most RC enthusiasts can complete installation in minutes without specialist equipment.
- What material is this fender made from? — FTX bodywork components are manufactured from durable polymer materials designed to withstand impacts, abrasions and exposure to dirt and moisture during off-road driving. This ensures your fender maintains its appearance and structural integrity through extended use.
- Can I use this fender on other FTX models? — This fender is specifically designed for the FTX Grand Apache 1/7 scale platform. While FTX manufactures many excellent RC vehicles, bodywork components are precision-engineered for specific models, so compatibility is limited to the Grand Apache variants listed above.
- Why should I buy spare bodywork panels? — Having spare bodywork on hand is essential for serious RC car owners. During competitive driving or aggressive off-road bashing, impacts can damage fenders and body panels. Spare panels mean you can quickly swap out damaged components and get back to driving rather than waiting for replacements. This is particularly valuable for owners of high-performance brushless RC trophy trucks like the Grand Apache 8S.
