Key Features

• ProGraphix Premium Paint Finish — The hot red colour is applied using Traxxas's recognised ProGraphix paint technology, which delivers exceptional colour depth and durability that resists fading even with regular outdoor use and UV exposure. This professional-grade paint finish far exceeds standard hobby-grade alternatives.
• Pre-Applied Decals — The authentic Traxxas graphics and decals are already professionally applied to the body shell before it leaves the factory, meaning you won't need to spend time carefully applying decal sheets yourself. This ensures crisp, perfectly positioned graphics that look factory-fresh from the moment you unbox the body.
• Tough Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from tough polycarbonate plastic that provides excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight, essential properties for any RC car body. Polycarbonate offers superior durability compared to ABS plastic, making this body capable of withstanding the inevitable minor crashes and impacts of regular RC driving.
• Fully Assembled and Ready to Mount — Unlike many replacement bodies that arrive as plain shells requiring significant preparation, this body comes completely assembled with all mounting hardware pre-installed. This means you can progress directly to fitting it onto your XRT chassis without additional work or parts sourcing.
• Pre-Installed Front and Rear Body Supports — The essential front and rear body support brackets are already mounted onto the shell, eliminating the need to source and install these components separately. These supports are crucial for maintaining proper body positioning and ensuring secure mounting to your XRT frame.
• Integrated Roof and Hood Skid Pads — Pre-installed skid pads on the roof and hood protect these high-impact areas from damage during crashes and rough terrain driving, extending the body's lifespan and maintaining its appearance over extended use. These protective elements are built directly into the body design.
• Clipless Mounting System — The body utilises Traxxas's convenient clipless mounting design, which means you can remove and install the body quickly without fumbling with traditional body clips or fasteners. This makes maintenance, cleaning, and body changes significantly faster and more convenient for UK RC drivers.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas XRT body in red represents the pinnacle of Traxxas's bodyshell engineering, combining aesthetic appeal with genuine functional advantages for serious RC enthusiasts. The polycarbonate material selection is critical to performance—it provides the necessary rigidity to maintain aerodynamic shape during high-speed driving whilst offering sufficient flexibility to absorb impact forces without cracking or shattering like rigid materials would. The body's integrated front and rear support structure works in conjunction with the clipless mounting system to ensure zero movement or rattling during aggressive driving, maintaining optimal weight distribution across your XRT chassis. The pre-applied ProGraphix paint and decals are baked on using professional processes that ensure they won't peel, fade, or lift under normal use conditions, UV exposure, or even when exposed to fuel residue if you ever transition to nitro driving. For UK-based RC drivers, this body is compatible with standard XRT chassis and mounting points, fitting perfectly without requiring modifications or adaptations. The roof and hood skid pads serve a dual purpose—protecting the body from damage whilst also slightly modifying aerodynamics to keep the body stable at speed. These are not merely cosmetic additions but functional protective elements proven through countless hours of real-world testing by Traxxas's professional driving team.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this body fit my Traxxas XRT RC truck? — Yes, this is the official Traxxas replacement body specifically engineered for the XRT model. It uses the same mounting points and support system as the original body, guaranteeing perfect fitment without any modifications or adaptations required. The clipless mounting system integrates seamlessly with standard XRT chassis.
• Is this body pre-painted or do I need to paint it myself? — This body arrives completely pre-painted with professional ProGraphix paint in a stunning red colour, with all decals already applied by Traxxas. There is no painting required—you can fit it straight onto your XRT and drive immediately. This saves significant time compared to unpainted body options.
• What makes the ProGraphix paint finish different from standard hobby paint? — ProGraphix is Traxxas's proprietary professional-grade paint technology that delivers superior colour saturation, durability, and UV resistance compared to standard hobby paints. The finish resists fading, peeling, and wear far better than alternatives, maintaining its appearance through hundreds of hours of driving.
• Do I need any additional parts or tools to fit this body? — The body is fully assembled with all necessary mounting hardware pre-installed, including the front and rear body supports. You'll simply need your standard RC model drivers and spanners to attach the body to your XRT chassis using the clipless mounting system. No additional parts are necessary.
• Is this suitable for competitive racing or just casual bashing? — This body is equally suited to both competitive driving and recreational bashing. The professional construction meets Traxxas's quality standards for all driving styles, and the durable polycarbonate shell withstands the rigours of serious track racing whilst remaining light enough for maximum performance.
• Will the decals scratch or peel during normal use? — The decals are professionally applied at the Traxxas factory using industrial processes that bond them permanently to the polycarbonate surface. They resist peeling, lifting, and fading under normal driving conditions, UV exposure, and minor impacts. They maintain their appearance far longer than decals applied after purchase.
• What's the difference between this assembled body and an unassembled shell? — This body arrives completely assembled with all support brackets, skid pads, and mounting hardware already installed and ready to fit to your chassis. Unassembled options require you to source and install these components separately, which takes additional time and requires purchasing additional parts. This assembled option provides superior convenience and value.
