For anyone operating a brushless electric RC car in the large-scale arena, this represents a quality enhancement that immediately transforms the appearance of your machine whilst maintaining perfect fitment and compatibility.
Key Features
- Fully Painted Professional Finish — The bodyshell arrives in a complete grey colour scheme that has been professionally applied at the factory, eliminating the need for spray painting and saving you countless hours of preparation and finishing work. This ensures a consistent, high-quality paint application that would be difficult to achieve in a home workshop.
- Pre-Trimmed and Ready to Fit — All excess plastic has been carefully trimmed during manufacture, meaning you don't need to spend time with cutting tools and sanding paper. The bodyshell is literally ready to clip onto your Supaforza GT chassis immediately upon receipt.
- Decals Factory Applied — The distinctive FTX Supaforza graphics and branding come pre-applied as factory decals, maintaining alignment and finish quality that hand application cannot match. This attention to detail elevates the overall appearance of your RC vehicle.
- LED Lights Pre-Installed — The bodyshell comes with light LED's already integrated and installed, adding both visual appeal and functional lighting for evening running or racing sessions. This is a significant time-saving feature that many enthusiasts will appreciate.
- Body Clips Included — Everything needed for secure fitment is included in the box, so you're not hunting for separate clip sets or compatible fasteners. Simply position the body, secure with the included clips, and you're ready to drive.
- 1/7th Scale Large-Format Design — This is genuinely large-scale RC engineering, with a 410mm wheelbase and 350mm width that commands presence on track or tarmac. The generous proportions deliver impressive visual impact and accommodate complex suspension and drivetrain components.
- Compatible with Multiple Supaforza Variants — The bodyshell fits both the FTX5494R (Red) and FTX5494B (Blue) versions of the Supaforza GT, providing flexibility if you're expanding your collection or replacing a damaged shell.
Technical Performance
The FTX Supaforza is engineered as a premium large-scale on-road electric RC platform, and this bodyshell maintains the exacting standards that platform demands. At 1/7th scale with a 410mm wheelbase and 350mm width, the Supaforza represents the upper tier of RC car design, offering substantially more surface area and presence than conventional 1/10th scale models. The body material is specifically engineered to withstand the speeds and stresses of brushless electric propulsion whilst remaining light enough to not compromise performance. The grey colour scheme is durable and resists fading, maintaining its sophisticated appearance through extended outdoor use. The factory application of paint, decals, and LED lighting reflects professional manufacturing standards that ensure durability and aesthetic consistency. The pre-trimmed edges are precise, eliminating the risks of amateur trimming that could weaken plastic edges or create poor fitment. This is not a budget bodyshell—it's a complete, finished component manufactured to exacting standards that justify its investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX Supaforza models does this bodyshell fit? — This bodyshell is fully compatible with the FTX5494R Supaforza GT 1/7th Brushless Electric RTR in Red and the FTX5494B Supaforza GT 1/7th Brushless Electric RTR in Blue. It's designed specifically for the Supaforza GT platform and fits these variants perfectly.
- Do I need to paint or finish this bodyshell? — Absolutely not. This is the key advantage of this product. The bodyshell arrives completely painted in professional grey, with all decals pre-applied and LED lights pre-installed. You simply unbox it, clip it onto your chassis, and you're ready to drive. No painting, no trimming, no decal application needed.
- Are the LED lights functional? — Yes, the LED lights come pre-installed in the bodyshell and are ready to function once installed on your Supaforza GT. The lights add visual appeal for evening driving sessions and enhance the overall presentation of your RC car.
- What are the exact dimensions of this bodyshell? — The bodyshell has a wheelbase of 410mm and a width of 350mm, reflecting the large-scale 1/7th design of the Supaforza platform. These generous dimensions create a striking visual presence compared to smaller 1/10th scale alternatives.
- Can I use this body on other RC cars? — This bodyshell is specifically designed and engineered for the FTX Supaforza GT platform. Whilst the plastic may be compatible with other vehicles in theory, fitment, clip alignment, and light integration are all optimised for the FTX5494R and FTX5494B models. We recommend using it only with these vehicles for best results.
- Is this suitable for both racing and bashing? — Yes. Whilst the Supaforza platform is capable of competitive racing, the robust plastic construction and pre-installed LED lighting make this bodyshell equally suitable for recreational bashing and casual driving. The large 1/7th scale format is forgiving and fun regardless of your driving style.
- What's the difference between this and a blank bodyshell? — This is a ready-to-run bodyshell with all finishing work completed. A blank bodyshell requires you to paint it, trim it, apply decals, and potentially integrate lighting yourself. This product eliminates all that work, delivering professional results immediately. You're paying for convenience, quality assurance, and professional finishing.
