Technical Performance

The Traxxas Body, Slash 4X4, heavy duty clear shell represents a significant advancement in bodyshell engineering for 1/10 scale short course racing. The thicker polycarbonate construction provides substantially improved impact resistance compared to standard factory bodies, making it an ideal choice for aggressive drivers and competitive racers who demand durability from their equipment. The material thickness allows the body to absorb impacts from jumps, obstacles, and side-contact collisions without cracking or shattering, extending the lifespan of your investment considerably. The clear finish is particularly popular amongst serious RC enthusiasts who appreciate the aesthetic appeal of displaying the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain components beneath the bodyshell, creating a distinctive visual presentation that stands out on the track or at RC events across the UK. The fully-trimmed design eliminates post-purchase modification work, allowing immediate installation onto compatible Slash models without requiring cutting tools or additional preparation. When painted with Traxxas ProGraphix® paint systems, the polycarbonate provides an excellent surface for colour adhesion, ensuring vibrant, durable finishes that resist fading and chipping even after extended use. The inclusion of window masks streamlines the painting process by protecting windows and transparent areas, whilst the decal sheet adds final touches that complete professional-quality custom designs. This body is engineered to enhance both the visual appeal and durability of your 1/10 scale brushless RC short course truck, making it an essential upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved performance and personalisation options.
