Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast running a brushless RC truck in the UK or someone looking to customise their existing Slash platform, this pre-painted polycarbonate body is the perfect upgrade to make your vehicle stand out at the track or the bash spot. Traxxas has engineered this body with convenience and performance in mind, eliminating the need for time-consuming trimming and painting work that traditionally comes with RC body upgrades.

This is an official Traxxas replacement and accessory body, designed specifically for the hugely popular Slash 4X4 range, including compatibility with the Slash VXL and Slash 2WD variants. The striking red finish is combined with expertly applied ProGraphix decals, delivering a professional appearance that looks like you've spent hours in the paint shop.

This ready-to-mount design is ideal for RC hobbyists who want results fast, whether you're preparing for a race, refreshing a weekend basher, or simply wanting a change of scenery on your favourite 4WD RC truck.

Key Features

• Pre-painted ProGraphix finish in vibrant red — The body arrives in Traxxas's renowned ProGraphix paint system, which delivers a deep, professional colour with excellent durability and UV resistance. You won't find flat, cheap finishes here; this is genuine Traxxas quality that will catch the light and turn heads at any RC gathering.
• Pre-applied factory decals — High-quality decals are applied at the factory with precision, saving you the tedious job of applying custom graphics yourself. The decals are designed to complement the red finish and give your Slash an authentic, finished appearance straight away.
• Clipless mounting system with pre-assembled latches — The body comes with front and rear clipless latches already installed and ready to use. This innovative system allows you to mount and remove the body without tools or fasteners, making maintenance and customisation incredibly convenient. You can swap bodies in seconds for different racing events or simply for a change of aesthetics.
• Polycarbonate construction — The body is manufactured from tough polycarbonate material, which offers excellent impact resistance and durability during high-speed runs and rough bashing sessions. Polycarbonate is the industry standard for RC bodies because it balances weight, strength and flexibility perfectly.
• No trimming required — Unlike many aftermarket bodies, Traxxas pre-painted bodies come ready to mount right out of the box. The factory has already done all the trimming and finishing work for you, meaning you can get your Slash back on the track or trail in minutes rather than hours.
• Universal compatibility across Slash variants — This body is specifically engineered to fit the Slash 4X4, Slash VXL and Slash 2WD models, making it an excellent choice if you own any of these popular platforms. The wide compatibility means you have options for your RC truck collection.
• Official Traxxas replacement part — As a genuine Traxxas component, this body is backed by the manufacturer's quality standards and warranty support. You're investing in authentic, tested engineering rather than third-party alternatives.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Body, Slash 4X4 represents the pinnacle of factory body design for high-performance 1/10 scale RC short-course trucks. Constructed from premium polycarbonate, this body provides the rigidity needed to maintain aerodynamic shape at high speeds whilst remaining flexible enough to absorb minor impacts without cracking. The red ProGraphix paint finish is engineered to withstand the rigours of RC driving — exposure to UV light, dirt, water and occasional crashes — maintaining its vibrant appearance throughout the lifetime of your vehicle. The pre-applied decals are factory-secured using industrial-grade adhesive, ensuring they remain perfectly positioned even during aggressive driving sessions. The clipless latching system featured on this body is a significant engineering advancement, allowing drivers to secure their bodyshell using spring-loaded clips rather than traditional body posts or screws. This design not only speeds up body removal for maintenance and battery charging, but also reduces stress on the mounting points, extending the longevity of both the body and the chassis. The body's aerodynamic profile is optimised for the Slash 4X4's performance envelope, which includes 30+ mph capability with brushless motor configurations — meaning this body has been wind-tunnel tested and engineered to maintain stability at speed. The dimensions and mounting points have been precisely calculated to work seamlessly with genuine Traxxas Slash 4X4, Slash VXL and Slash 2WD platforms, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance characteristics right from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this body fit my existing Slash chassis? — Yes, provided your Slash is one of the compatible models listed (Slash 4X4, Slash VXL, or Slash 2WD). However, if your chassis is an older model without factory-installed clipless mounts, you will need to install upgrade kits before mounting this body. For Slash 4X4 older models, you'll need parts 6976 and 10125; for Slash 2WD older models, you'll need part 6940. Modern Traxxas Slash vehicles come equipped with clipless mounts as standard, so installation should be straightforward.
• Do I need to paint or trim this body myself? — No, absolutely not. One of the major advantages of this Traxxas pre-painted body is that it arrives completely finished and ready to mount. The factory has applied the vibrant red ProGraphix paint, pre-installed the decals, and pre-cut all necessary apertures. You simply unbox it, check it's clean, and mount it to your clipless latches. This saves hours of work compared to buying unpainted bodies from UK RC retailers.
• What is the clipless mounting system and why is it better? — The clipless mounting system uses spring-loaded latches instead of traditional body posts or screws. This allows you to quickly remove and reattach your body without tools in seconds. It's perfect for RC enthusiasts who frequently access their battery, ESC or chassis for maintenance and charging. The system is more durable because it distributes stress more evenly across the mounting points rather than concentrating pressure on a few fastener locations.
• What battery size does my Slash 4X4 need? — Whilst this body itself doesn't determine battery requirements, the Slash 4X4 platform is typically powered by 2S brushless battery configurations in standard form, though 3S setups are possible with appropriate ESC upgrades. Please consult your specific Slash model's documentation or contact us at RC Model Shop to determine the correct battery specification for your vehicle, as battery compatibility depends on your motor and ESC configuration rather than the bodyshell.
• Is this suitable for beginners learning about RC customisation? — Yes, this is an ideal product for beginner RC enthusiasts looking to customise their first vehicle. Unlike unpainted bodies that require painting, decal application and complex trimming, this body requires no skills or tools to install — just clip it onto your existing chassis and you're ready to drive. It's a perfect introduction to the world of RC body customisation without the learning curve of paint jobs and decal work.
• How durable is the polycarbonate material during crashes? — Polycarbonate is one of the most durable materials for RC bodies because it's both rigid and slightly flexible. This means it will flex on impact rather than shattering like plastic, making it highly resistant to crashes and collisions. The ProGraphix paint is also scratch-resistant, so minor impacts usually won't damage the finish. For serious crashes, replacement is straightforward and relatively affordable compared to repainting.
• Can I use this body on other RC car brands? — No, this body is engineered specifically for the Traxxas Slash platform and won't fit other RC vehicles from different manufacturers such as ARRMA, Losi or FTX models. The mounting points, dimensions and latch system are all proprietary to Traxxas Slash vehicles. However, it will work across all compatible Slash variants listed above.
• What makes this a better choice than unpainted bodies? — Unpainted bodies require you to source paint, investment in painting equipment or professional painting services, apply decals yourself, and perform trimming work — all of which take considerable time and skill. This pre-painted body eliminates all that work whilst delivering professional-quality results immediately. You're paying slightly more upfront, but you're saving hours of labour and the possibility of mistakes during the painting process. For UK RC enthusiasts who value their time, this is the obvious choice.
