Technical Performance
The FTX Centaur Body Engine Cover Moulding is engineered as a precision-fit replacement component for the FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th scale trail crawling vehicle. This moulded plastic cover is designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing bodywork of your Centaur, whether you're running the blue RTR variant (FTX5475B) or the red RTR variant (FTX5475R). The component has been manufactured using FTX's proven moulding techniques, which balance durability with lightweight construction to avoid adding unnecessary mass to your vehicle whilst still providing robust protection for the engine bay.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles is the FTX10419 engine cover moulding compatible with? — This engine cover moulding is designed specifically for two models: the FTX5475B Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR Trail Vehicle in blue and the FTX5475R Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR Trail Vehicle in red. It will not fit other FTX models, so you must verify your vehicle's model number before ordering. If you own a Centaur, this is the correct part.
- Is this a genuine FTX spare part? — Yes, absolutely. The FTX CENTAUR BODY ENGINE COVER MOULDING FTX10419 is an official OEM (original equipment manufacturer) spare part produced by FTX themselves. This means it's manufactured to the exact specifications required by your vehicle and carries the full assurance of quality that comes with genuine components. When you buy this part from authorised UK retailers like RC Model Shop, you're guaranteed an authentic product with full manufacturer support.
- Why would I need to replace my engine cover moulding? — During trail driving, rock crawling, and off-road adventures, your RC car's bodywork inevitably takes impacts and abrasion. The engine cover moulding can crack, split, or become damaged from rocks, roots, and rough terrain. Additionally, UV exposure from sunlight can cause the plastic to become brittle over time. Replacing a worn engine cover moulding is far more cost-effective than replacing an entire body shell, and it's one of the easiest maintenance tasks you can perform on your ready to run RC vehicle.
- How difficult is it to install this engine cover? — Installation is extremely straightforward. The moulding simply bolts onto your Centaur's chassis using existing mounting points, and no special tools or technical skills are required. Most users can complete the installation in less than 10 minutes. This makes it an ideal first maintenance project for new RC car owners, and a quick job for experienced enthusiasts.
- Will this work with other FTX models? — No, this engine cover moulding is specifically designed for the Centaur 4WD models only. FTX manufactures separate cover mouldings for their other vehicles, including models like the Outback, Vantage, Kanyon, and Stinger. Always check your vehicle's model number to ensure you're ordering the correct spare part. Using an incompatible part could result in poor fitment or damage to your vehicle.
- Is this spare part available in different colours? — Based on the manufacturer specifications, this engine cover moulding is provided in the colour matching your Centaur variant. If you own the blue FTX5475B, the cover will be blue; if you own the red FTX5475R, the cover will be red. This ensures a seamless appearance that matches your vehicle's original factory finish.
- What's the best way to remove and replace my old engine cover? — Simply unbolt the old moulding from the chassis mounting points using an appropriate sized screwdriver or hex key (specific tool size depends on your fastener type). Lift away the old cover carefully, taking note of where all fasteners were positioned. Align the new FTX10419 moulding with the same mounting points and reinstall the bolts, tightening securely but not over-tightening, which could crack the plastic. Your Centaur will be back to looking factory-fresh in minutes.
