Overview
The Pro-Line 1/10 Flo-Tek Clear Body for Short Course trucks represents a revolutionary approach to RC body design, specifically engineered to solve one of the most frustrating problems faced by short-course truck enthusiasts. If you've ever raced or bashed a short-course truck, you'll know that traditional SC bodies act like parachutes when going over jumps, causing you to lose control and crash at the worst possible moments. This innovative body from Pro-Line, America's most trusted RC body manufacturer since 1982, changes everything with its patented aerodynamic design and strategically placed vent holes.
Whether you're competing at your local track or enjoying weekend bashing sessions with your Slash®, Slash® 4X4, SC10, 22SCT™, or TEN-SCTE™, the Flo-Tek body delivers the performance advantage you need to stay ahead of the competition. The futuristic styling coupled with large vent holes creates a visually striking appearance whilst simultaneously allowing air to flow through the body, eliminating the aerodynamic drag that plagues standard short-course bodies. This is the first SC body specifically designed with this problem in mind, making it an essential upgrade for serious RC car UK enthusiasts looking to maximise their performance on the track or trail.
The Flo-Tek Clear Body is supplied as an unpainted polycarbonate shell, allowing you to customise your RC truck with your own unique colour scheme and decals. Made in the USA with crystal-clear polycarbonate material, this body shell features exceptional detail and aggressive styling that will make your short-course truck stand out from the crowd. With included window masks, decal sheet, and the famous Pro-Line paint-then-peel overspray film built in, you'll have everything needed to transform this clear body into a race-ready showpiece in just four simple steps.
Key Features
- Aerodynamic Design Prevents Body Parachute Effect — The primary engineering focus of the Flo-Tek body addresses the most significant performance issue affecting short-course trucks: the parachute effect that occurs during jumps and landings. By strategically minimising aerodynamic drag, this body keeps your truck stable in the air and under control when landing, giving you a competitive edge over competitors using standard bodies.
- Large Vent Holes for Maximum Air Flow — The locations and size of the vents were meticulously designed to maximise air flow through the body whilst maintaining the aggressive, high-tech aesthetic. This engineering achievement means you get both stunning looks and genuine performance benefits without compromising on style or appearance.
- Bolt-On Modular Number and Side Dam Plates — The modular design of the number and side dam plates allows for easy customisation and adjustment, giving you flexibility in how you personalise your truck's appearance and ensuring compatibility with various racing number schemes and graphics.
- Exceptional Detail and Futuristic Styling — Every aspect of the Flo-Tek body has been crafted with attention to detail, featuring modern, aggressive lines and high-tech design elements that make this body visually distinctive from standard short-course bodies on the market.
- Paint-Then-Peel Overspray Film Built In — This innovative Pro-Line feature protects unwanted areas of your body during the painting process, allowing you to achieve clean, professional results without masking tape. Simply peel away the protective film after painting to reveal perfectly painted edges and details.
- Crystal Clear Polycarbonate Construction — Manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate material, the Flo-Tek body offers durability and optical clarity whilst being lightweight enough to optimise your truck's performance. Polycarbonate is the industry standard for RC bodies, offering the perfect balance between impact resistance and weight savings.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line's heritage of over 40 years manufacturing quality RC bodies in America ensures this product meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality control, with every body hand-inspected before shipment.
- Included Window Masks and Decal Sheet — The package includes pre-cut window masks to protect your windows during painting and a full decal sheet with multiple design options, getting you closer to a finished, race-ready appearance straight out of the box.
Technical Performance
The Flo-Tek Clear Body is manufactured from crystal-clear polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for its optical clarity, durability, and lightweight properties essential for competitive short-course truck racing. At 546mm in length, 235mm in width, and 152mm in height with a wheelbase accommodation of 323mm, this body is precisely engineered to fit Traxxas Slash® 2WD, Slash® 4X4, Losi 22SCT™, TEN-SCTE™, and other short-course trucks in the 1/10 scale category. The aerodynamic profile incorporates strategically positioned vent holes that reduce parasitic drag during high-speed runs and aerial manoeuvres, addressing the fundamental physics that cause standard SC bodies to act as air brakes during jumps. The engineering team at Pro-Line invested significant research into determining the optimal location and size of these vents to achieve maximum air flow whilst maintaining structural integrity and visual appeal. This body arrives unpainted, allowing you to apply your preferred colour scheme and custom graphics using the included paint-then-peel overspray film technology, a Pro-Line exclusive feature that simplifies the painting process for both novice and experienced modellers. The bolt-on modular number and side dam plates add another layer of customisation capability, permitting racers to adjust the body's appearance and aerodynamic characteristics to suit different track conditions or personal preferences. With meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of the design, from the futuristic styling lines to the functional vent placement, the Flo-Tek represents the cutting edge of short-course body technology for 1/10 scale RC truck enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this Flo-Tek body fit my Traxxas Slash 4X4? — Yes, absolutely. This body is specifically designed to fit the Traxxas Slash® 4X4, as well as the Slash® 2WD. It's also compatible with other 1/10 short-course trucks including the Losi 22SCT™, TEN-SCTE™, and SC10 models, provided they use standard short-course body mounting systems.
- How does the Flo-Tek body prevent the parachute effect? — The Flo-Tek features strategically positioned large vent holes that allow air to flow directly through the body rather than creating an air pocket beneath it during jumps. This aerodynamic engineering dramatically reduces the parasitic drag that causes standard SC bodies to act as parachutes, keeping your truck more stable and controllable in the air.
- Is this body suitable for beginners? — Yes, the Flo-Tek body is suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to experienced racers. The included window masks and paint-then-peel overspray film make the painting process straightforward, and the futuristic design looks professional even with basic paint application. However, you will need access to polycarbonate body paint and basic painting equipment to complete the body.
- What paint should I use on this body? — You must use polycarbonate-specific body paint designed for RC car bodies. These paints are formulated to adhere properly to polycarbonate and flex with the material without cracking. After applying your base colour and clear coat, you'll peel away the included overspray film to reveal clean, protected areas such as windows and trim.
- Do I get everything I need in the box? — The body comes with window masks and a decal sheet, along with the paint-then-peel overspray film technology built in. However, you'll need to supply your own polycarbonate body paint, clear coat, and your chassis with matching body mounting hardware. The decal sheet provides multiple design options to personalise your truck.
- What makes this body different from other short-course bodies? — The Flo-Tek is the first SC body specifically engineered to minimise the parachute effect through strategically designed vent holes that allow air flow through rather than around the body. Its futuristic styling combined with functional aerodynamic design sets it apart from standard short-course bodies that don't address this performance issue.
- What scale is this body? — This is a 1/10 scale body designed for short-course trucks. The dimensions are 546mm length, 235mm width, 152mm height, with a 323mm wheelbase, fitting standard 1/10 scale short-course truck platforms.
- Is the body clear or painted? — The body is supplied as a clear, unpainted polycarbonate shell. This allows you to customise it with your preferred colour scheme. The image showing a painted body is only for display purposes to show design details.
- Does the body come with a chassis? — No, the body shell is sold separately without any vehicle chassis. You'll need to mount this body onto your existing short-course truck using your truck's body mounting system.
- How long does it take to paint and finish this body? — The Pro-Line four-step process takes just a few hours: clean the body and apply window masks, paint your colours and clear coat, peel away the overspray film, and apply your chosen decals. Most modellers can complete a finished body in an afternoon or evening.
