Overview
Transform your Traxxas Slash 2WD into a head-turning machine with the Traxxas Body, Slash 2WD, ProGraphix bodyshell (TRX5924). This premium polycarbonate body shell is designed for the Slash 2WD and is fully compatible with both the Slash VXL and Slash 4X4 platforms, making it an incredibly versatile upgrade for short course truck enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK collector or someone discovering the world of brushless RC vehicles, this body gives you the creative freedom to personalise your truck exactly how you want it. The ProGraphix paint system means you get detailed, professionally printed graphics that are already applied, whilst the main body remains clear, allowing you to select your own colour scheme for the ultimate custom look.
This is the unpainted variant (TRX5924) that comes with graphics already printed and a decal sheet included, giving you complete creative control over your final colour application. Unlike pre-painted ready-to-run RC bodies, this system lets you choose from the full range of Traxxas ProGraphix paints to create a truly unique finish that matches your style. The body arrives completely trimmed and ready for installation, with a protective overspray film already applied for convenience, which means no messy trimming or preparation work is needed. For anyone looking to refresh their existing Slash chassis or wanting a new look for their brushless RC short course truck, this body delivers professional results without the professional price tag.
The clipless mounting system with front and rear latches ensures secure, tool-free installation and removal, making it perfect for quick setup and changes at the track or during weekend bashing sessions. This innovative design has become the standard for modern RC short course trucks, and Traxxas has perfected it across their entire Slash range. If you're running an older Slash chassis without clipless mounts, additional mounting hardware is available, though most modern Slash models will be compatible straight out of the box.
Key Features
- ProGraphix Paint System with Pre-Applied Graphics — The detailed graphics and paint detail are fully printed and applied to the body, but the main colour area remains clear, allowing you to spray your chosen Traxxas ProGraphix paint colour for a truly custom finish that no other RC car UK owner will have.
- Compatible with Multiple Slash Models — This body fits the Slash 2WD, Slash VXL, and Slash 4X4, making it an excellent investment if you're planning to upgrade across the Slash platform or already own multiple variants of this popular short course truck.
- Clipless Mounting Latches — The front and rear clipless latches provide secure, tool-free mounting and removal, meaning you can swap bodies in seconds without needing to reach for tools, perfect for quickly changing your look between races or practice sessions.
- Pre-Trimmed and Ready to Install — Unlike generic polycarbonate bodies that require extensive trimming, this shell arrives completely trimmed and ready to mount, saving you time and eliminating the risk of accidental damage during preparation.
- Protective Overspray Film Applied — A protective film is pre-applied to the body to protect it during your painting process, which means less masking tape needed and better quality final results when you apply your chosen colour.
- Premium Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate material, offering excellent durability, impact resistance, and flexibility that won't crack or shatter under normal bashing or racing conditions.
- Professional Appearance Out of the Box — The pre-printed graphics give your Slash an immediately professional look before you even apply your main body colour, ensuring your truck looks race-ready from the moment you install it.
- Versatile Customisation Options — By keeping the main body colour blank, you have hundreds of colour combinations possible with the Traxxas ProGraphix paint range, meaning you can match your colour scheme to your driving style or team colours.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Body, Slash 2WD, ProGraphix is engineered as a direct replacement body for the Slash 2WD short course truck platform, with full compatibility extended to the more powerful Slash VXL brushless variant and the four-wheel-drive Slash 4X4 model. This body is constructed from premium polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for its combination of lightweight characteristics and exceptional impact resistance—essential properties for RC short course trucks that regularly launch into the air and experience high-speed collisions during racing and bashing. The 1/10 scale proportions are precisely moulded to match the Slash chassis dimensions, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal aerodynamic performance at the speeds these vehicles achieve. The body comes pre-trimmed, which is a significant advantage over generic aftermarket bodies that require extensive trimming work. The ProGraphix graphics are factory-printed using Traxxas's proprietary paint system, which uses multiple layers of paint and clear coat to create graphics that are both visually striking and durable enough to withstand the rigours of regular racing and outdoor use. The clear main body area allows you to select from Traxxas's full ProGraphix paint range, which includes metallics, pearl effects, and solid colours, giving you genuine creative freedom. The protective overspray film applied at the factory protects the body during your painting process and makes the job significantly easier for builders of all experience levels. Installation is straightforward thanks to the clipless latch system, which has become the industry standard for modern RC short course trucks because it provides secure mounting without requiring dedicated clipless body mounts (though older Slash chassis may need the 6940 mounts for Slash 2WD or 6976 and 10125 for Slash 4X4).

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this Slash body fit my Slash VXL and Slash 4X4 as well as my Slash 2WD? — Yes, this is one of the key advantages of the TRX5924 body. Traxxas has engineered this shell to be fully compatible with the Slash 2WD, Slash VXL (the brushless 3S variant), and the Slash 4X4, making it an excellent choice if you own multiple Slash variants or plan to use the same body across different chassis in your collection.
- Do I need to trim this body like other aftermarket RC bodies? — No, this is a significant advantage of genuine Traxxas bodies. The TRX5924 arrives completely pre-trimmed and ready to install, which saves you time and eliminates the risk of accidentally trimming too much material or damaging the body during preparation. The protective overspray film is also pre-applied.
- What colour options are available for the main body area? — The main body area comes completely clear and unpainted, so you have access to the entire Traxxas ProGraphix paint colour range. This includes solid colours, metallics, pearl finishes, and special effect paints. You simply choose the colour you prefer and apply it yourself using a spray can, giving you unlimited customisation possibilities.
- Do I need clipless body mounts to use this body? — Most modern Slash chassis (2WD, VXL, and 4X4) come with clipless mounts as standard. If your Slash is relatively recent, you'll be able to install this body straight away using the clipless latches included. However, if you have an older Slash chassis without clipless mounts, you'll need to purchase the appropriate mounting hardware: Part 6940 for Slash 2WD, or Parts 6976 and 10125 for Slash 4X4.
- How difficult is it to paint and finish this body? — The painting process is straightforward enough for anyone to achieve professional results. Traxxas has specifically designed the ProGraphix system to make it easy: the graphics are already printed, the main colour area is clear and waiting for your paint choice, and the protective overspray film is already applied. Simply mask off the graphic areas (or use the film as a guide), apply your chosen ProGraphix colour in light coats, and you'll have a professional-looking finish. The included decal sheet can be applied after the paint has cured.
- Is this the same as the pre-painted Traxxas Slash bodies? — No, this TRX5924 is the unpainted version that gives you creative control over the main body colour. Traxxas also offers fully pre-painted Slash bodies (like the TRX5924-ORNG variant in orange) where both the graphics and main body colour are factory-applied. The unpainted version allows for more customisation but requires you to apply paint yourself.
- What is the scale of this body? — This is a 1/10 scale body designed specifically for the Slash short course truck platform. It's proportioned to fit perfectly on the Slash 2WD, Slash VXL, and Slash 4X4 chassis.
- Can I use this body on other RC short course trucks? — This body is specifically designed for the Traxxas Slash platform (2WD, VXL, and 4X4). While other manufacturers make 1/10 short course trucks, this body will not fit them without significant modification. Stick to using it on the Slash range for guaranteed fitment and performance.
- How durable is the polycarbonate material? — Polycarbonate is an excellent material choice for RC bodies. It's significantly more impact-resistant than plastic and won't shatter if your truck crashes at speed. The material is flexible enough to absorb impacts without cracking, and it's tough enough to handle regular bashing and racing. Over time with heavy use, it may develop stress marks, but it will perform reliably for many seasons of use.
- Do the graphics come pre-applied or do I need to apply the decals? — The graphics are pre-printed and factory-applied to the body. The decal sheet included in the package is for any additional customisation you want to add. The main graphics are ready to go.
