Technical Performance
The 1972 Chevrolet Blazer body represents a masterclass in scale replica design and manufacturing quality. Traxxas has engineered this body shell using durable polycarbonate construction techniques that provide excellent impact resistance whilst maintaining the sharp panel lines and authentic proportions of the original vehicle. The body's dimensional accuracy ensures that when mounted on a compatible Traxxas chassis, the finished RC model closely replicates the 1:10 scale proportions of the genuine 1972 Chevrolet Blazer, making it ideal for display, photography, and realistic trail runs. The paint application is professional-grade, with the white-and-blue two-tone finish applied in multiple layers for depth and durability. The chrome trim elements are bright and reflective, while the wood-grain detailing is clearly visible and authentic. All pre-installed components — the grille, mirrors, door handles, bumpers and windshield wipers — are securely fitted and designed to withstand both on-road display use and off-road trail bashing. The decals provided are printed in high resolution and can be applied to additional areas if desired, allowing for customisation. This body is compatible with standard Traxxas RC platforms and will transform your RC chassis into a genuine-looking 1970s truck that catches attention wherever you take it. The engineering ensures that the body maintains its shape and finish through countless hours of use, making it an investment in long-term RC enjoyment.

Check your chassis specifications or consult with RC Model Shop to confirm your specific platform compatibility before ordering.
- Is the paint finish durable for off-road use? — The two-tone paint finish is applied using professional automotive-grade techniques and is designed to withstand both display use and trail running.
