Key Features

• Pre-Assembled Design — This body comes completely assembled and ready to install straight from the box, saving you valuable time and effort compared to purchasing a bare body shell that requires assembly and painting. You can have your RC crawler back on the trail within minutes rather than spending hours on preparation work.
• Pre-Painted Green Finish — The bodywork arrives in a professional green colour scheme with decals already applied, giving your FTX Centaur a distinctive and authentic appearance without requiring any additional painting or customisation work. The green finish is particularly striking on trail-focused vehicles and helps your RC car stand out in photographs and at RC events.
• Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from durable polycarbonate plastic, a material chosen for its excellent impact resistance and flexibility. This means the body can withstand minor collisions and impacts during off-road driving without shattering, offering superior protection for the chassis underneath compared to more brittle materials.
• 1/10th Scale Compatibility — Designed specifically as a replacement body for the FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th scale trail vehicle, this body shell ensures perfect fitment with your existing chassis, suspension and mechanical components. The scale proportions are maintained for authentic rock crawling appearance and realistic trail-driving dynamics.
• Rock Crawler Classification — This body is purpose-built for rock crawling and trail driving applications, featuring proportions and styling appropriate for slow-speed, technical off-road climbing rather than high-speed on-road driving. The design reflects the specialised needs of crawlers that tackle steep terrain and obstacle courses.
• Genuine FTX Component — As an official FTX spare part, this body is engineered to OEM specifications and guarantees perfect compatibility with your FTX Centaur chassis. Using genuine manufacturer spares ensures reliability and longevity that third-party alternatives cannot match.
• Decal Sheet Included — The decals are already applied during assembly, so you receive a finished product with professional graphics and branding without any extra work required. This attention to detail contributes to the polished appearance of the finished vehicle.

Technical Performance

The FTX Centaur Pre-assembled PC Body is engineered from polycarbonate, a material widely recognised in the RC hobby for its combination of durability and light weight. Polycarbonate bodies offer superior impact absorption compared to alternative materials, which is essential for rock crawlers that frequently encounter rocks, logs and obstacles during trail driving. The pre-assembled construction means this body has been professionally finished and quality-checked at the factory before dispatch, ensuring consistent finish quality and secure decal application. At 1/10th scale, this body maintains proper proportions relative to the chassis and mechanical components of the FTX Centaur, contributing to the authentic appearance and balanced weight distribution crucial for technical rock crawling. The green colour finish is applied using automotive-grade paint and processes, delivering a professional appearance that matches the aesthetic standards of modern RC crawler builds. This replacement body integrates seamlessly with the existing FTX Centaur 4WD drivetrain, suspension and electronics, requiring only basic mounting to be fully operational.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX Centaur models is this body compatible with? — This pre-assembled PC body is specifically designed for the FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR Trail Vehicle and is compatible with both the blue variant (FTX5475B) and red variant (FTX5475R) models. The bodywork mounts identically on both versions since the chassis and mechanical layout remain unchanged across the colour variants.
• Do I need to paint or assemble this body myself? — No, this is a significant advantage of purchasing a pre-assembled body. The bodywork arrives completely finished with the green paint applied and decals already positioned correctly. You simply need to mount it onto your existing FTX Centaur chassis using the appropriate mounting hardware, and your vehicle is ready to drive.
• What material is this body made from? — The body is constructed from polycarbonate, a premium plastic material chosen for its excellent durability and impact resistance. Polycarbonate is flexible enough to absorb minor collisions during trail driving, reducing the likelihood of cracking compared to more brittle materials, whilst remaining lightweight to maintain proper vehicle balance.
• Is this suitable as a replacement body for a damaged FTX Centaur? — Yes, this body is an ideal replacement option if you've damaged or cracked your original bodywork during aggressive rock crawling or trail driving. As an official FTX spare part, it offers perfect fitment and maintains the authentic appearance of your vehicle whilst restoring full functionality.
• Will this body fit other 1/10th scale RC crawlers? — This body is specifically engineered for the FTX Centaur platform and mounting points. Attempting to fit it to other 1/10th scale crawlers from different manufacturers is not recommended, as the mounting brackets, dimensions and fitment are tailored exclusively to the Centaur chassis.
• What is the difference between this pre-assembled body and a standard body shell? — A standard body shell typically requires you to handle painting, clear coating, decal application and assembly yourself, which can consume 4-8 hours of preparation time for a single body. This pre-assembled variant eliminates all that work by arriving finished and ready to mount, allowing you to get your vehicle operational immediately.
• Can I use this body on a different colour FTX Centaur? — Yes, this green body will fit any FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th chassis regardless of the original body colour. Many RC enthusiasts use this as an opportunity to completely change their vehicle's appearance by swapping to a different colour variant.
