Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use this body on my standard TRX-4 if it doesn't have clipless mounting? — Whilst this body is designed specifically for clipless mounting, with the addition of the required 8080X inner fenders, it can be adapted to work on other TRX-4 models. However, you will require the specified inner fenders to ensure proper fitment and secure mounting of the clipless latches.
• Is the blue colour true to the product photos? — Yes, the factory-applied ProGraphix paint delivers the blue colour shown in promotional materials. However, actual colour perception may vary slightly depending on lighting conditions and individual screen displays, so we recommend viewing product images under different lighting to get an accurate sense of the final colour.
• Will this body fit my 1979 Ford Bronco TRX-4? — The TRX-4 1979 Ford Bronco is compatible with this body provided it features the same 12.3-inch (312 mm) wheelbase. Other TRX-4 models may require additional parts, so we recommend checking compatibility before purchase if you own a less common variant.
• How durable is polycarbonate for RC crawler use? — Polycarbonate is an excellent material choice for RC bodies because it combines lightweight construction with genuine impact resistance, meaning it can absorb impacts from rocks, logs, and terrain obstacles without shattering like some alternative materials, whilst remaining flexible enough to prevent permanent damage in most crashes.
• Do I need to apply decals myself? — No, all decals are pre-applied at the factory, so you receive a fully finished appearance immediately. This saves substantial time compared to purchasing an unpainted body and applying decals manually, and ensures professional-quality decal placement.
• What is the wheelbase measurement for compatibility? — This body is designed for TRX-4 models with a wheelbase of 313 mm (12.3 inches). If your TRX-4 has a different wheelbase measurement, additional parts may be required for proper fitment.
• Is this suitable for competitive crawling? — Whilst this body is fully functional for competitive crawling, it is designed primarily as a replacement or upgrade body for trail crawling and recreational use. The integrated Expedition Rack and accessories prioritise scale appearance over weight reduction, making it ideal for enthusiasts who value realism alongside performance.
• Do the side mirrors, door handles and windshield wipers affect aerodynamics? — At typical RC crawler speeds and scale, these components have negligible impact on aerodynamics. They are designed primarily for scale realism and aesthetic appeal rather than performance characteristics, and should not affect your TRX-4's handling or speed.
