Key Features
- ProGraphix Pre-Applied Paint — This body features Traxxas's renowned ProGraphix paint system, which delivers a vibrant, durable finish that resists fading and maintains its lustrous appearance through countless hours of bashing and racing. The professional-grade paint application ensures colour consistency and a showroom-quality finish that competitors and fellow hobbyists will admire.
- Fox Racing Livery with Pre-Applied Decals — The authentic Fox Racing graphics come pre-applied to the body, eliminating the time-consuming and potentially error-prone process of applying decals yourself. This means your RC truck looks professionally finished immediately upon installation, without requiring specialised decal application skills or tools.
- Ready-to-Mount Design — Unlike traditional unpainted polycarbonate bodies that require trimming, drilling, and extensive preparation, this Traxxas body arrives pre-drilled and ready to mount directly onto your Unlimited Desert Racer chassis. This factory-accurate preparation saves hours of workshop time and ensures perfect alignment with your vehicle's mounting points.
- Tough Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from high-impact polycarbonate material, which provides excellent durability and impact resistance during aggressive off-road driving, bashing sessions, and competitive racing. Polycarbonate bodies absorb impacts better than rigid plastics, protecting your vehicle's electronics and chassis during inevitable crashes.
- 1/7 Scale Large Format — This body is specifically engineered for the 1/7 scale Unlimited Desert Racer platform, making it a substantial and impressive RC vehicle that commands attention. The larger scale delivers more realistic proportions, better visual impact, and improved handling characteristics compared to smaller RC trucks.
- Perfect Compatibility — This body is engineered to fit the Traxxas UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR Short Course Truck platforms, including both the Fox Racing edition (TRX85086-4-FOX1) and the Rigid Industries edition (TRX85086-4-RGD1), ensuring seamless integration with your existing setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Unlimited Desert Racer models is this body compatible with? — This Fox Edition body is specifically designed to fit the Traxxas UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR Short Course Truck, including both the Fox Racing edition (TRX85086-4-FOX1) and the Rigid Industries edition (TRX85086-4-RGD1). The pre-drilled mounting holes and precise fitment ensure seamless integration with these chassis platforms.
- Do I need to trim or drill this body? — No, this is one of the primary advantages of purchasing a Traxxas pre-painted body. The bodyshell arrives completely finished with all mounting holes pre-drilled and ready for immediate installation. There is no trimming, drilling, or modification required, saving you valuable workshop time and ensuring perfect fitment.
- Are the decals already applied? — Yes, the Fox Racing decals come pre-applied to the body, eliminating the tedious and potentially problematic process of manual decal application. Your RC truck arrives with professional-quality graphics already in place, ready for display or racing.
- What makes this body more durable than unpainted alternatives? — The ProGraphix paint system provides a protective coating that resists UV fading, scuffing, and weathering. The polycarbonate material itself offers superior impact absorption compared to rigid plastic alternatives, making it ideal for bashing and off-road driving where collisions are inevitable. The pre-painted finish also eliminates the fragility issues associated with custom-painted bodies.
- Can I use this body on a different Traxxas model? — This body is specifically engineered for the Unlimited Desert Racer platform and is not compatible with other Traxxas models. The mounting points, dimensions, and design are precisely calibrated for the UDR chassis geometry. Using this body on a different model would result in poor fitment and potential safety issues.
- How long does installation take? — Because the body comes pre-mounted with all holes already drilled, installation typically takes only 10-15 minutes. Simply remove your old body, transfer any existing hardware, and secure the new Fox Edition body in place. No tools or special skills are required.
- Is this suitable for off-road racing and bashing? — Absolutely. This body is engineered for serious off-road use, including competitive desert racing and recreational bashing. The tough polycarbonate construction withstands impacts, abrasions, and the challenging terrain encountered during off-road driving. The pre-painted finish maintains its appearance through extensive use.
