Technical Performance
The Traxxas Ford Raptor R body is engineered with premium polycarbonate construction, delivering the durability and lightweight characteristics required for competitive and recreational RC driving. The body is manufactured to exacting standards with precise panel fitment, ensuring that it aligns perfectly with your 1/10 scale short course truck chassis for a seamless, factory-quality appearance. The pre-painted finish utilises professional-grade automotive paint technology, providing a durable, scratch-resistant surface that maintains its appearance through extended use and weathering.

It arrives fully painted in black with factory pre-applied decals, meaning you can mount it straight to your chassis without any additional painting, drying time, or decal application work. This saves significant time and effort compared to purchasing an unpainted polycarbonate body.

These are sold separately and must be fitted to your chassis before the body can be mounted. Check your vehicle's compatibility before purchasing to ensure you have the correct mounting points.
- Will this body fit my Traxxas Slash model? — No, this body does not fit standard Slash models. It is specifically engineered for 1/10 scale short course truck platforms. If you own a Slash, you will need to purchase a body designed specifically for that chassis.
