Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX Riptide Turbojet models does this hull cover fit? — This hull cover is compatible with both the FTX0780B FTX Riptide Turbojet Brushless RC Speed Boat in blue and the FTX0780G model in green, though the blue cover is colour-matched specifically to the FTX0780B variant.
- Why do I need a hull cover for my RC speed boat? — A hull cover provides essential protection for your RC boat when it's not in use. It shields the hull from harmful UV rays that can cause fading and material degradation, protects against dust and dirt accumulation, and helps prevent minor damage during storage and transport. If you're investing in a quality brushless RC boat like the Riptide Turbojet, protecting that investment with a proper hull cover is simply common sense.
- Is this an official FTX spare part? — Yes, this is a genuine FTX spare part manufactured to original specifications. RC Model Shop is an authorised FTX dealer, so you can be confident you're receiving an authentic part that will fit and function perfectly with your Riptide Turbojet.
- How easy is it to install the hull cover? — Installation is straightforward—simply place the cover over your boat's hull. No tools, fasteners, or technical knowledge required. It's designed to fit snugly and securely without modification.
- Can I use this cover with the green FTX0780G model? — Whilst this cover will fit the green variant mechanically, it is colour-matched to the blue FTX0780B model. If you own the green variant and prefer colour coordination, you may want to source the corresponding green hull cover.
- Should I use this cover during storage? — Absolutely. Whenever your RC boat is not in active use, the hull cover should remain in place to protect it from environmental factors, dust, and accidental damage. This is especially important for boats stored outdoors or in garages where UV exposure is a concern.
