Key Features
- Integrated Roll Cage Assembly — The combined cab bodyshell and roll cage structure provides authentic scale appearance whilst protecting your vehicle's chassis and components during impacts and rollovers, which is essential for serious rock crawling and technical terrain driving.
- Pre-Painted Red Finish — The factory-applied red paint delivers an immediate professional appearance without requiring additional painting, allowing you to get your vehicle on the trail quickly and with a flawless show-quality finish.
- Polycarbonate Construction — The durable polycarbonate body material offers excellent impact resistance and flexibility, crucial properties for withstanding the demands of rock crawling, trail work and challenging off-road conditions that would damage lesser materials.
- 1/10 Scale Proportions — Engineered to 1/10 scale specifications with a 313mm (12.3 inch) wheelbase compatibility, this body maintains authentic proportions and realistic appearance that matches the scale of your RC crawler platform.
- Included Decal Sheet — A factory-supplied decal sheet allows you to add further customisation and personalisation to your bodyshell, enabling you to create a unique identity for your crawler that reflects your style and preferences.
- Wide Compatibility Range — Compatible with multiple major platforms including FTX Outback Hi-Rock, Carisma Scale Adventure series vehicles, and numerous Traxxas TRX-4 variants, giving you genuine flexibility in platform selection.
- Cab Design with Authenticity — The realistic cab design captured in the bodyshell provides genuine scale fidelity and visual appeal, transforming a standard RC chassis into a recognisable, authentic-looking rock crawler that stands out on the trail.
Technical Performance
The FTX TEXAN bodyshell represents thoughtful engineering specifically tailored for 1/10 scale rock crawling applications. The polycarbonate construction provides the precise balance between durability and weight that modern RC crawlers demand – rigid enough to maintain shape and provide protection, yet flexible enough to absorb impacts without catastrophic failure. The integrated roll cage assembly isn't merely decorative; it's structurally significant, adding rigidity to the overall body assembly whilst providing genuine protection should your crawler encounter rough terrain, rocks, or impacts during climbing and technical driving. At 313mm wheelbase compatibility, this body works seamlessly with established 1/10 scale rock crawler platforms, maintaining proper proportions and ensuring your crawler looks authentically scaled. The pre-painted finish means you benefit from professional-quality paint application in the factory, eliminating the risk of amateur brush marks or uneven coverage that can occur with hand-painting. The decal sheet provides additional detail and personalisation options, allowing you to enhance the scale authenticity with graphics and trim details. Whether you're running this on an FTX Outback Hi-Rock, a Carisma Scale Adventure platform, or a Traxxas TRX-4 variant, the engineering ensures reliable fitment and genuine visual impact that transforms your RC crawler into a stunning scale replica.
