Overview

The Traxxas Body, Slash 2WD, ProGraphix (TRX5855) is a premium polycarbonate bodyshell designed for RC enthusiasts who want to personalise their short course truck with custom colours. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher looking to refresh your Slash's appearance, this ProGraphix body offers a unique approach to customisation. Compatible with the Traxxas Slash 2WD, Slash VXL, and Slash 4X4 models, this versatile bodyshell allows you to create a truly one-of-a-kind RC vehicle that reflects your personal style.

What sets the ProGraphix body apart from standard options is its innovative two-stage painting system. The detailed graphics are fully pre-painted in professional quality, while the main body remains clear polycarbonate, giving you complete creative freedom to choose your own colours.

This is an ideal upgrade for anyone wanting to breathe new life into their Slash platform RC truck. The ProGraphix body comes completely trimmed and ready for installation, with a protective overspray film applied during manufacturing for added convenience and protection during transport and storage.

Technical Performance

The TRX5855 bodyshell is manufactured from premium polycarbonate, a material chosen for its balance of strength, flexibility, and ease of customisation. As a part-painted body, it combines factory-quality pre-painted graphics with clear polycarbonate for the main colour area, giving you professional detail work without limiting your colour choices. The 1:10 scale design fits seamlessly with the Traxxas Slash 2WD, Slash VXL, and Slash 4X4 platforms, making it compatible with a range of brushless electric RC short course trucks. The body is fully trimmed for immediate installation onto clipless latch-equipped chassis, and the protective overspray film applied at the factory ensures the pre-painted details remain pristine until you're ready to apply your chosen Traxxas ProGraphix paint colour. The clipless mounting system means body removal for maintenance or battery swaps takes seconds, with no fasteners to lose. This design approach appeals to both casual RC enthusiasts and serious short course racers who value quick access to their vehicles' internals.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What RC short course trucks is this ProGraphix body compatible with? — The TRX5855 is designed to fit three Traxxas models: the Slash 2WD, Slash VXL, and Slash 4X4. This broad compatibility makes it an excellent choice if you own any variant of the popular Slash platform. You'll need the appropriate clipless latches for your specific model (6940 for 2WD, or 6976 and 10125 for 4X4).
• How does the ProGraphix paint system work? — The bodyshell arrives with detailed graphics already painted on clear polycarbonate. You simply select a Traxxas ProGraphix paint colour for the main body areas and spray it yourself. The pre-painted graphics remain visible beneath your colour choice, creating a professional two-tone effect without requiring specialist painting skills.
• Do I need any special painting equipment or skills? — No. Traxxas ProGraphix paint is designed for easy application by anyone, from complete beginners to experienced modellers. A standard spray can of ProGraphix paint is all you need to complete the bodyshell. The factory-applied protective overspray film means your detailed graphics stay pristine while you're painting.
• What if I want to change colours later? — One of the advantages of the ProGraphix system is that you can easily repaint the body in a different colour whenever you like, thanks to the clear polycarbonate design. Simply mask off the pre-painted graphics and apply a new colour coat.
• Are clipless latches included? — No, clipless latches are sold separately. You'll need to purchase the appropriate latch kit for your specific Slash model (part 6940 for 2WD, or parts 6976 and 10125 for 4X4). These latches allow tool-free body removal for quick access to your RC truck's internals.
• What material is this bodyshell made from? — The body is constructed from durable polycarbonate, a material prized in RC for its strength, impact resistance, and ease of customisation. Polycarbonate is significantly more durable than painted plastic and can withstand the impacts and stresses of short course racing and bashing.
• Does the body come fully trimmed? — Yes. The TRX5855 arrives completely trimmed and ready for installation, saving you time and the hassle of cutting windows or trimming excess material. A protective overspray film is applied at the factory for added protection during shipping and storage.
• What is included with the body? — Each TRX5855 comes with the ProGraphix bodyshell itself, a complete decal sheet for final customisation details, and the factory-applied protective overspray film that shields the graphics during transit.
• Can I use this body on my Slash 4X4 if it's originally designed for 2WD? — Yes, this is one of the key selling points of the TRX5855. Despite being titled as a Slash 2WD body, it also fits the Slash VXL and Slash 4X4, making it a genuinely versatile option for anyone with multiple Slash variants or those planning to upgrade their platform.
• Is this suitable for beginners in RC? — Absolutely. The ProGraphix body is excellent for beginners because it removes the intimidation factor of custom painting. The pre-painted graphics handle all the complex detail work, and you simply spray a single colour to complete the look. It's an ideal introduction to body customisation for newcomers to the RC hobby in the UK.
