Troubleshooting

Bodyshell does not fit correctly

Double-check that your FTX model is listed as compatible with the FTX9264GY bodyshell. Minor adjustments or trimming may be required for a perfect fit on some chassis.

Cracks appearing after minor impact

Ensure the bodyshell is not overly stressed at mounting points. If painting, verify that polycarbonate-specific paint was used, as improper paints can make the material brittle.

Carefully align the bodyshell on the chassis and re-mark the drilling points. Use a sharp hobby knife or a small drill bit to create new holes if necessary.
