Technical Performance
The FTX Rally MK2RS Assembled Body represents a carefully engineered component designed to maximise the performance potential of the FTX MK2RS brushless rally platform. At 190mm length, this on-road body shell has been optimised for tarmac rally racing, where aerodynamics and weight distribution are critical to competitive lap times and handling precision. The pre-painted white finish is applied to high-quality polycarbonate material, a standard choice in the RC industry for its excellent durability, impact resistance, and lightweight properties. The pre-applied decal sheet adds visual appeal without compromising the structural integrity of the shell. This body is engineered to work seamlessly with the FTX MK2RS's brushless motor system, precision steering servo, and low-profile suspension geometry, ensuring that your rally car maintains optimal balance and response during high-speed cornering and acceleration. The assembled construction means all mounting points are pre-positioned and verified for perfect alignment, eliminating fitment issues that can arise with unassembled shells. Installation is straightforward: simply remove your existing body, secure this new shell using the standard body clips, connect any electronic components if required, and you're ready to race. The white colour finish is resistant to UV fading when stored properly, maintaining its professional appearance through multiple racing seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this body compatible with my FTX MK2RS brushless rally car? — Yes, this assembled body is designed specifically for the FTX MK2RS platform and is confirmed compatible with both the FTX5470W (white) and FTX5470BK (black) RTR models. It will fit securely using the standard body mounting clips on these vehicles.
- Do I need any painting or customisation before installation? — No. This body arrives fully assembled, pre-painted in professional white, and with factory-applied decals. You can install it directly onto your chassis without any additional work. This makes it perfect for busy RC enthusiasts who want immediate results.
- What is the difference between this assembled body and an unassembled shell? — The assembled body comes ready to mount with painting and decals already complete, whereas unassembled shells require you to paint the shell, apply decals manually, and perform trimming and assembly. The assembled version saves significant time and is ideal for replacement or rapid colour changes.
- Will this body work with other FTX rally models? — This body is specifically designed for the FTX MK2RS platform. For other FTX rally models, you should verify compatibility before purchase. The 190mm on-road classification and precision fitment are optimised for the MK2RS chassis geometry.
- How do I install this body on my rally car? — Installation is simple: remove your existing body by unclipping the mounting clips, carefully lift the shell away from the chassis, position the new body shell over the chassis and the roll hoop assembly, align the mounting points, and secure using the original body clips. This typically takes just a few minutes.
- Is the white finish durable for regular racing use? — Yes. The polycarbonate material is impact-resistant and the paint finish is designed to withstand regular use. However, protect the body from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use, and avoid contact with harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Can I paint over this body if I want a different colour? — Yes. If you want to customise the colour, you can carefully strip the decals and repaint the shell using polycarbonate-compatible RC body paint and appropriate primers. However, this body's main advantage is that it arrives ready to use without any painting required.
