Technical Performance
This XRT Ultimate blue bodyshell represents the pinnacle of professional RC body engineering, constructed from premium polycarbonate that balances impact resistance with minimal weight addition to your 1/6 scale truggy platform. The manufacturing process ensures consistent thickness throughout the shell, preventing weak points whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for maintaining the performance envelope of your brushless-powered machine. The ProGraphix paint system utilises advanced colour pigmentation and UV-resistant clear coat technology, ensuring the vibrant blue finish maintains its depth and lustre through countless hours of outdoor bashing, track time, and exposure to direct sunlight across UK climates. At 1/6 scale, this body delivers commanding visual presence on any terrain—whether you're running on tarmac, grass, gravel, or dedicated RC racing circuits. The pre-installed body supports and skid pads are precision-engineered components that integrate seamlessly with the XRT Ultimate chassis, requiring no modification, trimming, or additional assembly. The clipless mounting system utilises innovative mechanical design that allows rapid body changes without tools, making maintenance and body swaps during events or bashing sessions incredibly convenient. This is a genuine Traxxas component engineered to OEM specifications, ensuring compatibility with all XRT Ultimate variants including the VXL-8S versions available in the UK market.

This professional-grade finish maintains its vibrant blue colour through extensive outdoor use, resists fading from sunlight exposure, and provides superior protection against the wear and tear associated with serious RC bashing and racing in the UK climate.
