Technical Performance
The Apex 2 Hoonitruck platform delivers exceptional on-road performance through advanced engineering throughout. The chassis features a lightweight aluminium tubular structure with a roll cage and door bars for protection, whilst the body panels are crafted from carbon fibre for durability and lightweight performance. The front and rear independent suspension with threaded oil-filled shocks provides excellent control on uneven tarmac, whilst the active rear toe adjustment allows you to fine-tune handling characteristics for different driving conditions. The sealed center driveline keeps dirt, debris, and rubber particles out, ensuring smooth and reliable power delivery through the 4WD all-wheel drive system. Metal ring and pinion gears provide long-lasting durability capable of handling tire-slaying burnouts and aggressive driving. The Reedy SC500X programmable brushed ESC (program card sold separately) and Reedy Sport 550 15-turn 3-slot brushed motor work together to deliver responsive acceleration and consistent performance. The 2.4GHz 2-channel radio system offers reliable wireless control, whilst the internal 2.6:1 gear ratio optimises speed and torque delivery. Sealed front and rear gear differentials, full metal ball bearings, and adjustable shock mounting locations throughout the chassis ensure durability and tunability for serious RC enthusiasts. The 458mm length, 200mm width, and 259mm wheelbase create a stable, controllable platform, whilst the G10 shock towers and G10 main chassis provide rigidity and precision. Steel dog bones, drive axles, and 25T servo horn complete a specification that blends performance engineering with practical reliability for on-road driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this clear body fit my Team Associated Apex 2 chassis? — Yes, this body set is engineered specifically for the Apex 2 platform and requires no modification.

- What are the dimensions of the Apex 2 Hoonitruck Body Set? — The complete Apex 2 platform measures 458mm in length, 200mm in width, and features a 259mm wheelbase. This clear body is proportioned to match these dimensions perfectly.
- Can I paint this clear body or should I leave it transparent? — The clear polycarbonate can be left transparent to showcase your chassis engineering, or you can paint the interior surface with polycarbonate-compatible paints if you prefer a coloured appearance. Many UK RC enthusiasts enjoy displaying the clear shell to highlight the detailed Apex 2 build quality.
- Is this body suitable for both on-road racing and general bashing? — The Hoonitruck body is designed specifically for on-road use, making it ideal for tarmac driving, drifting, and tire-shredding action rather than off-road bashing. The Apex 2 platform includes independent suspension and oil-filled shocks specifically engineered for uneven road surfaces.
- What makes the Hoonitruck body different from other Apex 2 bodies? — The Hoonitruck is the exclusive licensed Hoonigan design, featuring distinctive Hoonitruck styling inspired by Ken Block's legendary full-size machine. This sets it apart from standard racing bodies and appeals to enthusiasts who appreciate authentic automotive culture in their RC hobby.
- Do I need any tools to fit this body to my Apex 2? — Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic hex drivers or screwdrivers to adjust the body post height if needed. The body mounts using the standard Apex 2 body post system with adjustable mounting locations.
- Is this an RTR (ready-to-run) product or just a body shell? — This is a body shell only and requires an Apex 2 chassis to function. If you don't already own an Apex 2, Team Associated offers complete RTR Hoonitruck packages that include the chassis, electronics, radio system, and battery.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
