Overview
The Traxxas Rustler 4X4 ProGraphix body is the perfect way to customise and personalise your RC car UK setup with a professional-looking finish. This innovative bodyshell uses Traxxas' revolutionary ProGraphix system, which comes with detailed graphics that are fully painted, while the rest of the body remains clear polycarbonate. This unique approach gives you complete creative control over your RC model's appearance. Whether you're running a brushless RC truck or prefer a more traditional setup, this body shell works with the Rustler 4X4 platform to deliver stunning visual results that rival factory-painted bodies.
Designed for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels, the ProGraphix body eliminates the complexity of traditional custom painting whilst maintaining professional-grade results. Simply select your preferred colour, grab a can of Traxxas ProGraphix paint, and spray the final colour coat. The process is straightforward enough for beginners to achieve excellent results, yet flexible enough for experienced modellers to experiment with custom colour schemes and effects. This is the ideal upgrade for anyone looking to refresh their Rustler 4X4 or create a truly unique RC car that stands out at the track or bash spot.
As an authorised Traxxas retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine Traxxas body shells and accessories. The Rustler 4X4 ProGraphix body comes completely trimmed and ready to paint, with pre-drilled body post holes for hassle-free installation on your existing chassis. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or collector, this body shell offers exceptional value and professional aesthetics that will transform your RC off-road truck.
Key Features
- ProGraphix Paint System — The innovative ProGraphix design features pre-printed, fully-painted graphics on a clear polycarbonate shell, allowing you to choose your own main body colour whilst enjoying professional-quality detailed artwork that would be difficult to apply by hand.
- Pre-Painted Graphics — All the intricate graphics are fully painted during manufacturing, saving you time and effort whilst guaranteeing crisp, clean artwork that looks factory-finished from day one.
- Clear Polycarbonate Base — The remainder of the body is transparent, giving you complete freedom to select any colour scheme you desire using standard Traxxas ProGraphix spray paint cans.
- Fully Trimmed and Ready to Paint — This body arrives completely trimmed with all windows and vents already cut, eliminating the preparation work required with some aftermarket shells and allowing you to go straight to painting and installation.
- Pre-Drilled Body Post Holes — Convenient pre-drilled holes ensure accurate body post placement and make installation quick and straightforward, whether you're experienced with RC cars UK or new to the hobby.
- Protective Overspray Film — A pre-applied protective film shields the body during the painting process, preventing accidental overspray on sensitive areas and protecting the pre-painted graphics whilst you apply your chosen colour.
- Included Decal Sheet — A complementary decal sheet is provided, offering additional customisation options and allowing you to add your own personal touches, sponsor logos, or racing numbers to complete your unique design.
- Front and Rear Body Mounts — Both front and rear body mounts are included in this package, ensuring you have everything needed for secure body attachment to your Rustler 4X4 chassis without additional purchases.
- Rear Body Support — An integrated rear body support is supplied, providing additional stability and protection for the rear bodywork during aggressive driving and helping maintain the body's shape during high-speed runs.
- Clipless Mounting Compatibility — The body is designed to work with Traxxas' clipless latch system, offering quick-release convenience for easy body removal and installation when you need to access your chassis or change body styles.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Rustler 4X4 ProGraphix body represents a significant engineering achievement in aftermarket RC body design. Manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, the shell offers an excellent balance between durability and lightweight performance, ensuring your brushless or electric RC truck benefits from minimal added weight whilst gaining maximum aesthetic impact. The polycarbonate construction is specifically chosen for its impact resistance, making it suitable for aggressive off-road bashing and competitive track use. The pre-painted graphics utilise professional-grade paint application methods that create deep, vibrant colours and crisp detail work that rivals factory-painted bodies costing significantly more. At 1/10 scale, this body is optimally sized for the Rustler 4X4 platform, providing proportionate coverage and authentic truck styling. The included body mounts (front and rear) and rear body support ensure secure attachment to your chassis, whilst the pre-drilled body post holes guarantee accurate alignment and secure fastening. The protective overspray film is carefully applied during manufacturing to shield the pre-painted graphics and allow you to safely apply your chosen ProGraphix colour without risk of accidental paint splatter damaging the detailed artwork. This body shell is compatible with the Traxxas Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 brushless models, making it an excellent upgrade for anyone running the latest high-performance Rustler variants. The clipless latch system (sold separately) provides convenient quick-release mounting, essential for competitive racing or frequent body changes during testing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Traxxas Rustler 4X4 ProGraphix body suitable for beginners? — Yes, this body shell is excellent for beginners and experienced modellers alike. The ProGraphix painting system is specifically designed to be user-friendly, allowing anyone to achieve professional results with a standard spray can of Traxxas ProGraphix paint. The fully trimmed shell and pre-drilled holes eliminate complicated preparation work, making installation straightforward even for those new to RC customisation. The pre-painted graphics mean you don't need advanced airbrush skills to create a stunning-looking body.
- What colours are available for the Traxxas ProGraphix paint? — Traxxas produces a range of ProGraphix colours designed to complement the pre-painted graphics. The specific colour options are available from RC Model Shop, and you can choose any colour that appeals to your personal style. The clear polycarbonate base means you're not limited to a single colour scheme – you can repaint the body in different colours whenever you wish.
- How long does it take to paint and install the body? — The actual painting process is quick, typically requiring just one or two coats of ProGraphix paint depending on your chosen colour and desired finish. Drying time varies by paint type and environmental conditions, but most users can complete painting within an afternoon. Installation onto your chassis takes approximately 15-30 minutes once the paint has fully cured, assuming you already have your Rustler 4X4 built and ready.
- Can I use this body on other Traxxas models? — This body is specifically designed for the Rustler 4X4 and is confirmed compatible with Traxxas Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 brushless models (both TRX67097-4-GRN and TRX67097-4-BLUE variants). It is not compatible with 2WD Rustler models or other Traxxas vehicles. Always verify compatibility before purchasing if you're unsure which model you own.
- What is the difference between ProGraphix and standard painted bodies? — ProGraphix bodies arrive with the detailed graphics fully painted but the main body colour unpainted, giving you complete control over the final appearance. Standard painted bodies come fully finished but offer no customisation options. ProGraphix provides the best of both worlds: professional-quality graphics with complete creative freedom on the main colour. This approach also allows you to repaint your body in different colours without having to repaint the graphics.
- Is the protective overspray film removable? — Yes, the protective overspray film is pre-applied to the body and is intended to shield the graphics whilst you paint. After you've finished painting and the paint has dried completely, you can carefully remove this film to reveal your finished body.
- Do I need the clipless latches and other accessories? — The body can be mounted using standard body posts and fasteners that come with your Rustler 4X4 chassis. The clipless latches are optional and sold separately, offering convenient tool-free body removal if you prefer that feature. The inner body cage, body reinforcements, and rear wing are also optional and sold separately, allowing you to customise your setup according to your preferences and driving style.
- Where can I purchase Traxxas ProGraphix paint colours? — Traxxas ProGraphix paint cans are available from RC Model Shop and other authorised Traxxas retailers. We stock a selection of colours and can advise on which shades work best with the pre-painted graphics on this body shell.
