Technical Performance
The FTX Centaur Pre-assembled PC Body represents professional-grade bodyshell engineering designed specifically for 1:10 scale rock crawler applications. Manufactured from high-impact polycarbonate, the material offers an exceptional balance between durability and weight, critical factors in off-road trail vehicle performance where impact resistance and lightweight construction directly influence acceleration, handling and climbing ability. The transparent finish allows builders and operators to showcase the mechanical complexity of their RC crawler, including the suspension geometry, electronics layout and internal chassis structure — something impossible with traditional opaque bodies. The pre-assembled construction means that every component arrives perfectly aligned and fitted, eliminating the variability that can occur with user assembly. The included window masks ensure professional-grade body finishing, whilst the decal sheet enables authentic FTX branding and custom graphics application. This bodyshell is engineered to fit the FTX Centaur 4WD platform precisely, ensuring proper aerodynamics, weight distribution and mounting compatibility that a compatible trail crawler demands for optimal performance through rocky terrain and technical obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this bodyshell compatible with my FTX Centaur RC car? — Yes, this pre-assembled PC body is fully compatible with both the FTX Centaur 4WD 1:10th RTR Trail Vehicle in Red (FTX5475R) and the Blue variant (FTX5475B). It's specifically engineered for the Centaur platform and will fit perfectly without modification.
- What is the advantage of a clear polycarbonate body? — The transparent clear finish allows you to see all the mechanical components working inside your RC crawler, including the suspension, chassis and electronics. This is both visually impressive and practical for maintenance and inspection purposes. Unlike painted bodies, the clear shell lets your trail vehicle's engineering shine through.
- Does this body come ready to use straight away? — The bodyshell arrives pre-assembled, meaning it's structurally complete and ready to install on your FTX Centaur. However, you may choose to paint it, apply the included decals, or personalise it further according to your preferences before fitting it to your vehicle.
- What are window masks and why are they included? — Window masks are precision-cut protective shields that prevent paint or adhesive from entering the window openings during customisation. They're included because they enable professional-quality body finishing with clean, sharp window edges — essential for achieving a showroom-quality appearance on your RC car UK build.
- Can I paint over the clear polycarbonate? — Yes, polycarbonate bodyshells are specifically designed to accept RC-grade paints and finishes. Many enthusiasts paint the exterior while maintaining the transparent panels for visibility, or paint the entire body for a completely custom look. The included window masks help ensure clean paint application.
- Is this a genuine FTX part? — Yes, this is an official FTX component (part number FTX10422C) manufactured to original equipment specifications. It's a genuine spare part, not an aftermarket clone, ensuring perfect fitment and quality on your trail crawler.
- What makes this better than a standard painted bodyshell? — The clear polycarbonate construction offers unique visual appeal by showcasing your vehicle's internal mechanics and electronics. It's ideal for trail vehicles where operators want to display the precision engineering underneath, and it provides excellent durability for rock crawling and off-road activities.
