Key Features
- Clear polycarbonate construction — The transparent bodyshell allows you complete creative freedom in choosing your own colour scheme and design, making each build truly individual. Clear bodies are a recognised choice among RC enthusiasts who value customisation and personal expression in their builds.
- Fully trimmed and pre-drilled — The body arrives with all necessary cuts, trim lines and mounting holes already completed, eliminating the need for complex preparation work. This significantly reduces build time and ensures precise fitment to your TRX-4 Sport chassis with 312mm wheelbase compatibility.
- Pre-applied overspray film protection — A protective film is already attached to the body's exterior, preventing paint overspray from contacting surfaces you want to keep clear. This detail-oriented feature demonstrates professional-grade engineering and makes the painting process cleaner and more forgiving.
- Window masking included — Custom-cut window masks are supplied in the box, enabling you to mask windows and transparent areas before painting. This ensures you can achieve clean lines and professional results without paint interfering with vision areas on your camper body.
- Complete decal sheet provided — Authentic decals are included to add final details and branding to your painted body, enhancing realism and visual appeal. These decals help transform the basic painted shell into a fully detailed scale model camper.
- Traxxas ProGraphix paint compatibility — The body is optimised for use with Traxxas ProGraphix paint system, which delivers professional-quality finishes with minimal skill requirements. This paint technology is specifically engineered for polycarbonate bodies and provides exceptional coverage and durability.
- Designed for TRX-4 Sport trail crawler — This is a purpose-built body for the TRX-4 Sport 1/10 scale rock crawler, ensuring authentic proportions and perfect mechanical compatibility. The camper design adds functional scale detail whilst maintaining the crawler's capable stance.
- Accepts TRX-4 Sport accessories — The body is compatible with most TRX-4 Sport scale accessories, including narrow inner fenders, LED light kits, front bumper LED light bars, side mirrors and snorkels. This compatibility expands customisation possibilities and allows you to create a fully-equipped expedition vehicle.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX-4 Sport camper body is engineered from durable polycarbonate material, the industry-standard choice for RC bodyshells due to its excellent impact resistance and flexibility. The 1/10 scale dimensions are precisely proportioned to fit the TRX-4 Sport's 312mm wheelbase (313mm as listed in specifications), ensuring the body hangs correctly over the chassis with proper overhang proportions. The polycarbonate construction is thin enough to minimise weight yet strong enough to withstand impacts during trail running, a critical balance in modern RC crawler design. The body's camper profile includes a raised roofline and functional-looking accessories moulded into the design, creating authentic scale detail that distinguishes it from simpler bodyshells. Pre-applied overspray film provides protection during the painting process, whilst the pre-trimmed design eliminates material waste and ensures precise body mounting. The material accepts Traxxas ProGraphix polycarbonate paint which delivers vibrant colour, excellent adhesion and durability against UV exposure and weathering. The included window masking allows precise paint line definition around transparent areas, critical for achieving the professional results that make your RC crawler stand out at the track or trail.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this camper body fit my TRX-4 Sport crawler? — Yes, this body is specifically designed for the TRX-4 Sport and fits chassis with a 312mm wheelbase. The body is fully trimmed and pre-drilled for perfect fitment without modification. You will need tall rear body posts (part #8215) to mount the body correctly.
- Do I need to trim or cut this body myself? — No, the body arrives fully trimmed with all necessary cuts and mounting holes already completed. The pre-applied overspray film and included window masking mean you can proceed directly to painting without any preparation work, making this an excellent choice for builders who want to minimise preparation time.
- What paint should I use on this clear polycarbonate body? — Traxxas ProGraphix polycarbonate paint is specifically engineered for this body and delivers professional-quality results with excellent adhesion, durability and colour vibrancy. This paint system is designed to work seamlessly with the polycarbonate material and pre-applied film protection included with the body.
- Can I use standard RC paint instead of Traxxas ProGraphix? — Whilst other polycarbonate-compatible paints may work, Traxxas ProGraphix is specifically formulated for optimal results on Traxxas bodies and is the manufacturer's recommended choice. Using the correct paint ensures the best finish, adhesion and longevity of your customised body.
- What accessories can I add to this camper body? — The TRX-4 Sport camper body accepts numerous optional accessories including narrow inner fenders with rock light kit compatibility (part #8080), complete LED light kits with integrated lenses (part #8085), front bumper LED light bars (part #8088), wire harnesses (part #8089), spare tyre mounts (part #8118) and side mirrors with snorkel (part #8119). These accessories allow you to create a fully-customised expedition vehicle.

The included window masking and decals guide you through the finishing process, making this an ideal project for developing skills.
- Will I need to purchase anything else besides paint? — Beyond Traxxas ProGraphix paint in your chosen colours, you will need tall rear body posts (part #8215) to mount the body correctly on your TRX-4 Sport chassis. If you don't already have a TRX-4 Sport crawler, you'll need to source the chassis separately. Most other components for trail running are already part of the standard TRX-4 Sport kit.
- How does this camper body compare to other TRX-4 Sport bodyshells? — The camper design is distinctive, offering a raised roofline and moulded accessories that create authentic expedition vehicle styling. It provides more visual interest than basic truck bodies and allows equal customisation through colour and decal choices.
