Overview

The Traxxas Body, Maxx Slash, ProGraphix is the perfect choice for RC enthusiasts across the UK who want to personalise their short course truck with a truly custom look. This isn't a pre-painted, one-colour bodyshell — it's a sophisticated semi-finished body that gives you complete creative control over the final appearance of your 1/8 scale RC car. Whether you're a seasoned racer, a weekend basher, or someone discovering the world of brushless RC short course trucks for the first time, this ProGraphix body transforms your Maxx Slash into a machine that reflects your individual style and taste.

What makes this body shell stand out in the competitive RC market is its innovative two-stage painting system. The detailed graphics are already fully painted and applied to the polycarbonate shell, saving you hours of intricate hand-painting work. However, the rest of the body remains clear, allowing you to choose your own main body colour. This hybrid approach means you get professional-quality results without needing advanced airbrush skills or professional painting equipment. Simply grab a can of Traxxas ProGraphix paint and spray the final colour — it's genuinely easy for anyone to achieve instant, professional results. This is why the ProGraphix system has become so popular among RC enthusiasts across the UK who want customisation without the hassle.

The Maxx Slash ProGraphix body comes completely ready to install on your truck. It arrives fully trimmed with pre-drilled body holes, making installation straightforward even for newcomers to RC hobby. You'll receive everything needed for a complete body setup, including clipless latches with mounting hardware that make body removal and installation tool-free and hassle-free. A protective overspray film is pre-applied to the body, and detailed decal sheets are included should you wish to add additional graphics or personalisation touches. This is a genuine accessory part designed specifically for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility.

Key Features

• Semi-Finished ProGraphix Design — The detailed graphics are fully painted onto the polycarbonate shell, but the main body colour is left clear, allowing you to choose and spray your own colour. This innovative system eliminates the need for hand-painting intricate graphics while giving you complete creative freedom over the overall colour scheme.
• Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, which is lightweight yet tough enough to withstand the impacts and stresses of serious RC driving. Polycarbonate is the industry standard for high-performance RC bodies because it offers the perfect balance of durability and weight.
• Fully Trimmed and Ready to Paint — This body arrives completely trimmed with all necessary cuts and perforations already completed. Pre-drilled body holes mean you can install it immediately without requiring any cutting, drilling, or preparation work, saving time and reducing the risk of damage during installation.
• Clipless Mounting System — The included clipless latches with mounting hardware eliminate the need for tools to remove and reattach the body. This means you can access your chassis for maintenance, battery changes, and adjustments in seconds, which is invaluable during races or extended driving sessions.
• Complete Hardware Package — This body set includes body supports, body plastics, latches, and all necessary mounting hardware. Everything required for secure, rattle-free installation is included in the box, so there are no additional purchases required.
• Protective Overspray Film — A protective overspray film is pre-applied to the body during manufacturing. This film protects the detailed graphics while you're painting the main colour and can be removed after painting is complete, leaving a clean, professional finish.
• Included Decal Sheet — A full decal sheet is included, giving you the option to add additional graphics, racing numbers, or personalisation details to complement your chosen colour scheme and the pre-painted graphics.
• Designed for Maxx Slash Compatibility — This body is specifically engineered to fit the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck perfectly. It's compatible with all standard Maxx Slash models including the Red, Green, Rock N Roll, and Blue variants, ensuring precise fitment and optimal aerodynamics.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas ProGraphix body system represents cutting-edge thinking in RC body design and customisation. Constructed from quality polycarbonate, the same material used in professional racing bodies throughout the UK and beyond, this shell provides the durability needed for serious RC driving whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for performance. The 1/8 scale dimensions are engineered specifically for the Maxx Slash chassis, ensuring perfect aerodynamics and body panel fitment. The semi-finished painting system is a game-changer for customisation — the fully painted graphics demonstrate Traxxas's attention to detail and quality control, whilst the clear panels allow you to apply any colour from the ProGraphix paint range or other compatible automotive paints. The body arrives fully trimmed, meaning every window aperture, door line, and mounting point is precisely cut and prepared. Pre-drilled holes align perfectly with the Maxx Slash chassis mounting points, eliminating guesswork and ensuring the body sits flush and secure. The clipless latches included represent the latest in RC body mounting technology, allowing rapid body removal without tools — essential when you need to swap bodies at the track or access your electronics quickly. The protective overspray film applied at the factory means you can immediately begin your customisation work without risk of damaging the pre-painted graphics.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What exactly is the ProGraphix body system and how does it work? — The ProGraphix system uses a two-stage approach: the detailed graphics are factory-painted onto the polycarbonate shell, but the main body panels are left clear. You then choose a colour from the Traxxas ProGraphix paint range and spray it onto the clear areas. This gives you the appearance of a fully custom-painted body with professional graphics, but without requiring advanced painting skills. It's perfect for UK RC enthusiasts who want a truly personalised look without the complexity of hand-painting intricate details.
• Is this body shell suitable for beginners to RC? — Yes, absolutely. This body is ideal for beginners because the graphics are already professionally painted, eliminating the most difficult and time-consuming part of body customisation. You simply need to spray a single colour of ProGraphix paint, which is straightforward and forgiving even for someone trying it for the first time. The included clipless mounting system makes installation tool-free, and the fully trimmed body requires no cutting or preparation.
• What paint do I need to complete this body? — You'll need Traxxas ProGraphix paint in your chosen colour. ProGraphix paint is specifically formulated for polycarbonate RC bodies and provides excellent adhesion, durability, and colour matching. It's available in a wide range of colours and can be applied using standard aerosol spray cans, making the process accessible to everyone. Other high-quality automotive spray paints may also work, but Traxxas ProGraphix is the manufacturer-recommended option.
• How long does the painting process take? — Painting with Traxxas ProGraphix aerosol paint is quick and straightforward. Most people can complete painting and dry time within a single afternoon. Multiple thin coats are recommended rather than one thick coat, but total application time is typically 30-60 minutes depending on your technique and the specific colour chosen.
• Is this body compatible with my Maxx Slash truck? — This ProGraphix body is specifically designed for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck. It's compatible with all standard Maxx Slash models regardless of the original colour variant (Red, Green, Rock N Roll, or Blue). The body will not fit other truck models, so please verify you own a Maxx Slash before purchasing.
• What makes ProGraphix better than a fully pre-painted body? — ProGraphix bodies offer something unique: they combine factory-painted graphics with your personal colour choice. This means you get professional-quality, intricate graphics without needing to hand-paint them, whilst still having complete control over the main body colour. It's the perfect middle ground between ease-of-use and customisation potential. Fully pre-painted bodies offer less customisation flexibility, whilst unpainted bodies require significantly more skill to achieve professional results.
• Do I need any special equipment to paint this body? — No special equipment is required. The simplest approach is to purchase Traxxas ProGraphix paint in aerosol form — you simply shake the can and spray in light coats onto the clear areas of the body. This requires no airbrush, compressor, or complex equipment. If you're experienced with spray painting, you could also use traditional automotive spray equipment, but it's not necessary.
• What's included in the package and what do I need to buy separately? — The body shell comes complete with everything needed for installation: decals, body supports, clipless latches, and all mounting hardware. You do not need to buy additional body mounting parts. The only thing you must purchase separately is Traxxas ProGraphix paint in your chosen colour. Your truck chassis itself is of course also required but is a separate purchase.
• How durable is the polycarbonate shell? — Polycarbonate is the industry-standard material for high-performance RC bodies precisely because of its durability. It's lightweight yet tough enough to withstand crashes, impacts, and the stresses of serious RC driving. The material is resistant to UV damage and weathering, making it suitable for outdoor driving throughout the UK. If the body does suffer damage, it can usually be repaired with polycarbonate cement or replaced affordably.
• Can I use this body on a different truck model? — No, this body is engineered specifically for the Maxx Slash and will not fit other truck models. RC bodies are precision-fitted to specific chassis designs, and using an incorrect body can affect handling, aerodynamics, and may not mount securely. Always ensure you have the correct model body for your specific truck.
