Key Features

• Factory-Applied Decals — The body arrives with pre-applied Traxxas decals already positioned and sealed, eliminating the need for you to carefully apply and align decals yourself, saving time and ensuring a professional appearance straight from the box.
• Clipless Mounting System — The integrated front and rear clipless latches allow you to mount and remove this body in seconds without any tools, making body swaps quick and convenient for different racing sessions or casual bashing.
• No Trimming Required — Unlike many aftermarket bodies that require careful cutting and fitting, this Traxxas body arrives perfectly trimmed and ready to mount, delivering immediate results without the risk of accidental damage.
• Polycarbonate Construction — The polycarbonate material provides excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight, protecting your chassis during crashes whilst maintaining optimal handling characteristics on track.
• Multi-Chassis Compatibility — This body is engineered to fit Slash 2WD, Slash VXL, and Slash 4X4 models, giving you tremendous flexibility if you own multiple Slash variants or plan to upgrade your chassis in the future.

Technical Performance

This polycarbonate body represents the pinnacle of Traxxas's body manufacturing expertise. The material selection ensures optimal durability during high-speed bashful runs and competitive racing whilst maintaining a lightweight profile that doesn't negatively impact your Slash's acceleration or handling. The clipless latch system is engineered with precision, allowing secure mounting that keeps the body firmly in place during aggressive cornering and jumps, yet releases instantly when you need to swap bodies for different track conditions or just want a visual change. The pink and purple ProGraphix finish is applied using professional painting techniques that create a finish far superior to DIY painting attempts, with excellent adhesion that resists peeling and fading even after extended UV exposure and repeated crashes. The factory-applied decals are sealed with a protective clear coat, ensuring they remain vibrant and legible throughout the body's service life. For UK RC car enthusiasts running a Slash 2WD, Slash VXL, or Slash 4X4, this body provides the perfect balance of aesthetics, functionality, and ease of use that modern RC enthusiasts demand.
