Technical Performance

This Traxxas body is manufactured from premium polycarbonate material, a material recognised throughout the RC industry for its durability, lightweight properties, and excellent paint adhesion. The 1/10 scale construction is engineered to fit the TRX-4 rock crawler platform with a 312 mm wheelbase, providing perfect proportions and fitment. The complete trimmed design means the body comes ready to install — no cutting, trimming, or additional preparation is required, saving you valuable build time. The unpainted clear finish is designed to work seamlessly with Traxxas ProGraphix paint systems, which provide professional-grade coverage and durability that withstands the rigours of off-road trail driving. The polycarbonate construction offers the ideal balance between strength and weight, ensuring your RC crawler maintains optimal performance whilst displaying eye-catching custom paintwork. The inclusion of a protective overspray film during manufacturing prevents accidental damage to the clear shell during the painting process, whilst the comprehensive window masking set ensures clean, professional paint lines around all glazed areas. With its authentic 1979 Chevrolet Blazer styling and complete package of integrated accessories including grille, mirrors, handles, wipers, and bumpers, this body delivers exceptional value and visual impact for UK RC enthusiasts building showcase trail rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas TRX-4 models is this body compatible with? — This clear Chevrolet Blazer body is compatible with multiple TRX-4 platforms including the TRX-4 1979 Chevrolet Blazer, the TRX-4 1979 Ford Bronco, and several other TRX-4 variants with 312 mm wheelbase chassis. It will also fit a wide range of other TRX-4 rock crawlers, making it a versatile choice for customisation projects across the TRX-4 platform.
• Do I need any special tools to install this body? — No, the clipless mounting system eliminates the need for tools, fasteners, or complicated installation procedures.

ProGraphix paints offer excellent coverage, durability, and colour options, and they adhere excellently to polycarbonate material.
• Can I paint this body without using the window masks? — Whilst it is technically possible, using the included window masks is highly recommended. They ensure clean, professional paint lines around the windscreen and windows, preventing paint overspray and giving your finished build a polished, show-quality appearance.
• What is the wheelbase this body fits? — This body is designed for TRX-4 models with a 312 mm wheelbase, which is the standard measurement for most current TRX-4 rock crawler platforms.

This modern system is ideal for trail driving and competitive use.
• Can I use this body on other RC platforms besides TRX-4? — Whilst this body is designed specifically for the TRX-4 platform, some builders have adapted it to other 1/10 scale crawlers with similar wheelbases. However, fitment and mounting compatibility cannot be guaranteed outside of the TRX-4 platform, so compatibility should be verified before purchase.
