Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan Painted PVC Body represents a sophisticated approach to bodyshell design and finishing. Constructed from high-quality PVC material, this shell combines lightweight characteristics essential for responsive RC performance with sufficient structural rigidity to withstand the demanding conditions of off-road and on-road RC driving. The paint application uses automotive-grade processes to ensure colour vibrancy, UV resistance, and durability through countless hours of bashful driving. The decals are factory-applied using professional techniques, ensuring they remain securely bonded during high-speed driving, rough terrain navigation, and repeated impacts. The engineering behind this body focuses on perfect fitment with the FTX Rokatan platform, ensuring that aerodynamics, weight distribution, and scale appearance all work together seamlessly. The PVC material naturally provides a degree of flexibility that helps absorb impacts without permanent deformation, whilst the painted surface finish resists fading from UV exposure and maintains its aesthetic appeal season after season. Whether you're driving on grass, dirt, tarmac, or mixed terrain, this painted body maintains its visual impact whilst offering genuine protection to your chassis and electronics underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Rokatan Painted PVC Body suitable for beginners and experienced RC enthusiasts? — Yes, absolutely. This is an excellent choice for anyone new to the RC hobby because it arrives fully painted with decals applied, eliminating the need for painting skills or equipment. Experienced builders also appreciate it as a quality replacement option or custom upgrade. Whether you're setting up your first ready to run RC car or maintaining a competition machine, this body delivers professional results without requiring specialist knowledge.
- Will the paint and decals hold up during aggressive driving? — The automotive-grade paint finish and factory-applied decals are specifically engineered for the demands of RC driving. Whilst any bodyshell may eventually show minor signs of use during enthusiastic bashing, the quality of the finish means your model will maintain its appearance through hundreds of drives. The PVC material itself resists impact damage better than some alternative materials, adding to the overall durability of this component.
- Can I use this body with my existing RC car setup? — The FTX Rokatan body is specifically designed for the FTX Rokatan RC platform. Ensure your chassis and components are compatible with this model before purchasing. If you already own a Rokatan, this is a direct replacement or alternative finish option. Check FTX specifications and compatibility documentation if you're unsure about fitment with your specific model.
- Do I need to do any finishing work before using this body? — One of the major advantages of this pre-painted, decal-applied option is that it requires no finishing work whatsoever. You can install it directly onto your chassis and start driving immediately. There's no painting, no decal alignment, no clear-coating — just mount it and enjoy your RC car UK.
- How does this compare to bare or unpainted bodyshells? — A bare bodyshell requires you to purchase paint, primer, and decals separately, invest time and money in painting equipment, develop painting skills, and perform the finishing work yourself. This pre-painted and decal-applied option eliminates all of that, saving you significant time and expense whilst delivering professional results immediately. If you value convenience and immediate visual impact, this painted option is far superior to handling bare shells yourself.
- What makes FTX bodyshells a good choice for RC cars in the UK? — FTX has built a reputation for delivering quality RC components at competitive prices, and this body exemplifies that philosophy. The brand offers excellent value without compromising on finish quality or fitment precision. UK-based RC enthusiasts consistently choose FTX components because they represent genuine quality and value for money.
