Overview

The Traxxas Body, Maxx Slash (Clear, requires painting) is an essential replacement or upgrade component for RC enthusiasts looking to customise their 1/8 scale short course truck. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor, a weekend basher, or discovering brushless RC vehicles for the first time, this heavy-duty clear bodyshell offers the perfect canvas for your creative vision. Built from thicker polycarbonate material, this isn't just any standard body — it's engineered to withstand the rigours of serious driving whilst giving you complete freedom to design your own unique colour scheme and graphics.

This is a genuine Traxxas component (part number TRX10211R) designed specifically for the Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck platform. Clear bodies have become the preferred choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want to move beyond factory colour schemes and create something truly personal. From mild custom paint jobs to wild, intricate airbrushed designs, Traxxas clear bodies are your own personal canvas. The beauty of this approach is that you're not limited to pre-determined colours — you choose the colour, you choose the design, and you achieve professional-quality results with Traxxas ProGraphix paint.

What makes this particular body stand out is the complete package Traxxas includes to make the job easier. It arrives fully trimmed and ready to paint, meaning you won't waste time with tedious cutting and preparation. The heavy-duty construction ensures durability whether you're racing competitively or enjoying casual bashings at your local RC track or park.

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Thicker Polycarbonate Construction — Made from extra-tough polycarbonate material that's thicker than standard bodies, this bodyshell delivers superior durability and impact resistance, meaning it can handle the demands of aggressive driving, bash sessions, and competitive racing without cracking or breaking easily.
• Fully Trimmed and Ready to Paint — The body arrives completely trimmed and prepared, eliminating the need for you to spend hours with a hobby knife trimming windows, vents and body lines, allowing you to get straight to the exciting part of customising your RC short course truck.
• Pre-Applied Overspray Film Protection — A protective overspray film is factory-applied to the body, safeguarding it during the painting process and ensuring clean, professional results without paint seeping into unwanted areas or affecting the internal body surfaces.

• Compatible with Maxx Slash 1/8 Brushless Platform — Specifically designed for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck, this body maintains perfect fitment and works seamlessly with all current Maxx Slash variants including the Red, Green, Rock N Roll and Blue editions.

Technical Performance

This heavy-duty Maxx Slash bodyshell represents the pinnacle of RC body engineering for the 1/8 scale short course class. The thicker polycarbonate construction provides significantly enhanced durability compared to standard-thickness bodies, making it the ideal choice for serious racers and bashers who demand maximum reliability from their RC cars. The polycarbonate material itself is engineered to absorb impacts without shattering, which is critical when you're driving at the high speeds that modern brushless RC vehicles like the Maxx Slash achieve. The 1/8 scale platform is one of the most popular choices in the UK RC community, offering the perfect balance between size, speed capability and handling characteristics. The bodyshell's fully-trimmed design means every window, vent and body line arrives perfectly cut, eliminating hours of preparation work and allowing you to focus immediately on the creative painting and customisation process. The included body supports ensure proper fitment and alignment on your chassis, whilst the clipless mounting system provides a secure, tool-free installation that's quick and hassle-free. All hardware and mounting plastics are included, meaning you won't need to hunt down additional components or spend money on supplementary parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a clear RC body and why would I want one instead of a pre-painted body? — A clear body is an unpainted polycarbonate shell that allows you to customise the colour and design completely. Rather than being limited to the factory colour schemes available, you can paint your body any colour you want, add custom graphics, sponsor logos, racing numbers and unique designs. This means your RC car UK can truly reflect your personal style and creativity. Many experienced RC enthusiasts and competitors prefer clear bodies because they offer superior durability compared to painted alternatives, and you can easily repaint if you get bored with the current colour scheme.
• Do I need special paint to paint this Maxxis Slash body? — Traxxas recommends using Traxxas ProGraphix paint for best results, as this paint is specifically formulated to adhere properly to polycarbonate bodies and deliver professional-quality colour coverage. Whilst other polycarbonate-compatible paints may work, ProGraphix is engineered to provide optimal adhesion, durability and colour vibrancy on RC bodies.
• Is this suitable for beginners to RC painting? — Yes, this bodyshell is excellent for beginners because it arrives fully trimmed (no cutting required) and includes all the mounting hardware you need. The included window masking makes painting the windows straightforward, and the polycarbonate material is forgiving to work with. However, painting RC bodies does require some basic preparation and painting skills. If you're new to RC painting, we recommend starting with simple solid colour schemes before attempting complex graphics or multi-colour designs.
• What vehicles is this body compatible with? — This body is designed exclusively for the Traxxas Maxxis Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck platform. It is compatible with all colour variants including the Red (TRX102076-4-RED), Green (TRX102076-4-GRN), Rock N Roll (TRX102076-4-RNR) and Blue (TRX102076-4-BLUE) editions. Do not attempt to fit this body to other RC truck models, as fitment and mounting will not be correct.
• What makes the heavy-duty version different from standard Maxxis Slash bodies? — The heavy-duty version is constructed from thicker polycarbonate material, which provides superior impact resistance and durability. This means it can withstand harder crashes, more aggressive bashing and competitive racing without cracking or breaking as easily as standard-thickness bodies. If you regularly drive hard or participate in racing, the heavy-duty construction is well worth the investment for longevity and reliability.
• Does this body come with everything I need to mount it? — Yes, the bodyshell includes all mounting hardware, body supports, clipless latches and mounting plastics needed for installation on your Maxxis Slash chassis. You simply won't need to purchase any additional components for mounting. However, you will need to paint it first and source your paint separately.
• How long does it take to paint and prepare a clear RC body? — Preparation (removing overspray film and masking) typically takes 30 minutes to an hour. Painting time depends on your method and complexity of design — a simple solid colour might take 2-3 hours including drying time between coats, whilst complex multi-colour or airbrushed designs could take a full day or more. Most UK RC enthusiasts allocate at least a weekend for a complete paint job with proper drying time.
• Can I use spray cans or do I need an airbrush? — Both methods work perfectly well with Traxxas ProGraphix paint and polycarbonate bodies. Spray cans are more affordable and simpler for beginners, whilst airbrushes offer superior control and the ability to create more intricate designs. Choose whichever method you're comfortable with — the results can be equally professional.
