Technical Performance
The FTX Trooper Pre-assembled Complete Body represents a straightforward yet essential component for 1/10 scale trail crawler enthusiasts. This bodyshell is engineered with precision to fit the FTX Outback Trooper 4x4 chassis without modification, ensuring seamless installation and authentic vehicle proportions. The pre-assembled construction means that all clips, mounting points and body panels have already been integrated during manufacturing, eliminating potential assembly errors and saving valuable setup time. The yellow colour scheme is applied with quality finishes that resist fading through normal use and UV exposure, maintaining the vibrant appearance of your RC vehicle through extended outdoor sessions. The complete body design provides excellent ground clearance representation appropriate for trail crawler aesthetics, whilst maintaining structural integrity through the suspension articulation typical of serious off-road RC platforms. For UK-based RC enthusiasts looking to customise their trail crawler fleet or recover from damage sustained during aggressive terrain navigation, this FTX body delivers exceptional value and reliability at a competitive price point.

These are 1/10 scale trail crawlers, and the body will not fit other chassis or scale sizes without modification.

This gives you the freedom to select aftermarket lighting systems and premium tyre options that suit your intended use and budget, rather than being locked into stock fitments.

Standard bodyshells typically require 30-60 minutes of assembly work, whilst this pre-assembled option installs in minutes, making it ideal for keeping your RC vehicles in active rotation.
- Can I paint or customize this yellow body? — Yes, whilst this body comes in a finished yellow colour, you can certainly customize it further with additional paint schemes, vinyl decals, or custom graphics if you wish to create a unique appearance for your trail crawler.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
