Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Texan body shell suitable for competitive rock crawling? — Yes, absolutely. The FTX Texan combines authentic scale styling with genuine structural support through its integrated roll cage assembly. The polycarbonate construction provides durability essential for competition terrain, whilst the pre-painted finish and included decals allow you to present a professional appearance at events. This body shell is compatible with numerous competition-grade platforms including GMade GS02F variants, making it an excellent choice for serious competitors seeking premium components.
- What chassis platforms will this body shell fit? — The FTX Texan 1/10 body shell is compatible with a comprehensive range of 1/10 scale rock crawlers and trail trucks, including all GMade GS02F variants (Spider Portal, Buffalo, Komodo Double Cab, and both TS and TC configurations), the FTX Outback Hi-Rock 4x4 RTR, and numerous Carisma Scale Adventure SCA-1E 2.1 models, as well as select Traxxas TRX-4 platforms. The 313mm wheelbase specification ensures proper fitment across these diverse platforms.
- Does this come as a complete ready-to-run body? — This is a bodyshell and roll cage assembly designed as a replacement or upgrade component for existing 1/10 scale rock crawler platforms. You will need a compatible chassis, motor, electronic speed controller, battery, and radio system to complete a functioning RC vehicle. However, if you already own a compatible 1/10 scale crawler like a GMade GS02F or FTX Outback Hi-Rock, this body shell provides an excellent upgrade path.
- Can I customise the appearance of this body shell? — Definitely. The body arrives pre-painted in grey, and includes a decal sheet for personalisation. Many builders choose to add additional decals, scale detailing, custom paint schemes, or LED lighting to further enhance appearance. The polycarbonate material accepts paint well and can be customised to reflect your personal style and preferences.
- What makes the integrated roll cage assembly important? — The roll cage serves dual purposes: it provides authentic scale appearance that enhances visual realism of your rock crawler, and it delivers practical structural support to the bodyshell, helping it maintain integrity through demanding terrain negotiation and obstacle climbing that serious rock crawlers experience.
