Key Features
- Polycarbonate Construction — This body shell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, which provides exceptional impact resistance and flexibility compared to standard plastic, ensuring your RC crawler body can withstand the rigours of off-road trail driving without cracking or breaking easily.
- Vibrant Yellow Finish — The striking yellow colour scheme offers excellent visibility during outdoor RC sessions, allowing you to easily track your crawler across varied terrain, undergrowth and challenging landscapes, whilst also providing a distinctive aesthetic upgrade to your existing FTX Outback Trooper.
- Direct Compatibility — This replacement body is engineered to fit seamlessly on both the FTX5473GY (Grey) and FTX5473R (Red) variants of the FTX Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR, making it an ideal upgrade option for existing owners who want to personalise their trail crawler without purchasing an entirely new RC vehicle.
- OEM Quality — As a genuine FTX replacement part, this body shell maintains the same manufacturing standards and quality control as the original equipment, ensuring perfect fitment and long-term durability for your 1:10 scale RC crawler.
- Easy Installation — The bodyshell is designed for straightforward installation on compatible FTX Outback Trooper models, allowing users to quickly swap out their existing body and refresh the appearance of their ready to run RC crawler without requiring specialist tools or technical expertise.
- Trail Crawler Optimised — This body shell is specifically designed for the FTX Outback Trooper 4x4, a dedicated trail crawler platform, meaning the proportions, mounting points and overall design are perfectly optimised for serious off-road crawling enthusiasts rather than general-purpose RC vehicles.
Technical Performance
The FTX TROOPER PC/YELLOW BODY represents genuine OEM engineering for the FTX Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR 1:10 trail crawler platform. Constructed from impact-resistant polycarbonate, this body shell provides the structural integrity and flexibility required for demanding off-road terrain whilst maintaining a relatively lightweight construction that doesn't compromise the performance characteristics of your RC crawler. The polycarbonate material is specifically chosen for RC body shells because it absorbs impacts more effectively than rigid plastics, reducing the risk of shattering during crashes or challenging trail manoeuvres. The yellow finish is vibrant and durable, maintaining colour integrity through extended outdoor use and UV exposure. The engineering ensures perfect panel alignment and fitment when installed on compatible FTX Outback Trooper variants, with all mounting points and body post locations precisely positioned to match the original equipment specifications. For serious RC crawler enthusiasts in the UK who demand quality replacement parts that maintain their vehicle's performance standards, this genuine FTX bodyshell is the ideal choice for customisation and long-term durability on technical trail courses and challenging off-road terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this bodyshell compatible with all FTX Outback Trooper models? — This FTX TROOPER PC/YELLOW BODY is specifically designed to fit the FTX Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR 1:10 trail crawler. It is confirmed compatible with both the FTX5473GY (Grey) and FTX5473R (Red) variants. Before purchasing, please verify your exact FTX Outback Trooper model to ensure compatibility with your specific RC crawler setup.
- What material is this body shell made from? — The FTX TROOPER body shell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate (PC), which is the premium material choice for RC body shells. Polycarbonate is more impact-resistant and flexible than standard plastic, making it ideal for trail crawling where impacts and rough terrain are inevitable. This material absorbs shocks better and is less likely to shatter during crashes.
- How difficult is it to install this bodyshell on my FTX Outback Trooper? — Installation is straightforward and requires no specialist tools. The body shell mounts directly onto your existing FTX Outback Trooper chassis using the standard body post mounting system. Simply remove your old bodyshell, align the new yellow FTX TROOPER body onto the posts, and secure it in place. Most users can complete installation in just a few minutes.
- Will the yellow colour fade in sunlight? — The yellow finish on this polycarbonate bodyshell is designed to resist UV fading through extended outdoor RC use. However, like any bright colour exposed to intense sunlight over extended periods, some colour fading may gradually occur. Regular storage indoors when not in use will help maintain the vibrancy of the yellow finish for longer.
- Can I paint this polycarbonate body shell? — Polycarbonate body shells are compatible with specialised RC body paints and polycarbonate-safe finishing products. However, the yellow finish is factory-applied and designed for durability. If you wish to repaint the body shell, ensure you use only products specifically formulated for polycarbonate to avoid cracking or damage to the material.
- Is this just a body shell or does it include mounting hardware? — This product is the replacement polycarbonate body shell only. Standard body mounting posts and fastening hardware are typically included as part of your original FTX Outback Trooper RTR kit. If you require replacement body posts or mounting hardware, these are available separately as FTX Trooper spare parts.
- What's the difference between this yellow body and the original grey or red versions? — The FTX TROOPER body shells are available in multiple colour options including grey (FTX5473GY), red (FTX5473R), and yellow (this model). All versions use the same polycarbonate construction and are dimensionally identical for perfect fitment. The difference is purely aesthetic, allowing you to personalise your RC crawler's appearance based on your preference. The yellow finish offers superior visibility during outdoor trail sessions.
