The Traxxas Body, TRX-4 Sport, complete in Grey is a fully-painted, ready-to-install body shell designed specifically for the TRX-4 Sport and compatible TRX-4 models with a 12.3" wheelbase. This is the perfect solution if you want to refresh the appearance of your existing RC crawler or are building a new TRX-4 setup.

Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast exploring the world of RC cars in the UK or a weekend basher looking to customise your rig, this complete body kit removes the guesswork from body installation and styling.

What sets this body apart is its comprehensive package: it arrives fully painted with decals already applied, eliminating the need for any finishing work. The clipless body mounting system makes installation straightforward and tool-free, allowing you to swap bodies quickly without fiddling with traditional clips or fasteners. This innovative mounting approach is ideal for RC hobbyists who want to change their vehicle's look without spending hours on installation. The polycarbonate construction ensures durability while keeping weight minimal, a crucial consideration for maintaining the performance characteristics of your TRX-4 crawler.

The body comes pre-assembled with an Expedition Rack and all associated accessories, meaning you get a complete aesthetic package that requires minimal additional work. From the grille and side mirrors to the door handles and windshield wipers, every detail has been included to give your TRX-4 a finished, authentic appearance. This makes it an excellent choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand quality body kits without the hassle of sourcing multiple components separately.

Key Features

• Fully Painted with Decals Applied — The body arrives in complete grey finish with all decals pre-installed, eliminating the need for painting, masking, or decal application. This saves hours of preparation time and ensures a professional-quality finish straight from the box.
• Clipless Body Mounting System — The innovative clipless mounting design allows for quick, tool-free body attachment and removal. This feature is particularly valuable for RC bashers and collectors who like to swap bodies frequently or need rapid maintenance access to their TRX-4.
• Pre-Assembled Expedition Rack with Accessories — Rather than purchasing the rack separately, this body kit includes a fully-assembled expedition rack with all necessary components ready to install. This adds visual authenticity and functional accessory mounting points to your RC crawler.
• Comprehensive Accessory Package — The kit includes a grille, side mirrors, door handles, and windshield wipers, delivering a complete and detailed exterior appearance. These components are typically sold separately on other body kits, making this an exceptional value proposition.
• Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, which offers an ideal balance between impact resistance and weight. This ensures your TRX-4 can handle the rigours of RC crawler driving whilst maintaining optimal performance.
• 12.3" Wheelbase Compatibility — Specifically designed to fit the TRX-4 Sport and any TRX-4 model with a 12.3" (312 mm) wheelbase. This precise engineering ensures a perfect fitment without modification or additional parts, though some TRX-4 variants may require supplementary components.
• TRX-4 Sport High Trail Edition Design — The body incorporates the styling of Traxxas's High Trail Edition range, delivering a distinctive, contemporary aesthetic that stands out in any RC car collection or at your local RC club.

Technical Performance

This body kit represents the pinnacle of Traxxas's design philosophy for the TRX-4 platform. The polycarbonate construction provides exceptional durability whilst minimising unsprung mass, maintaining the precise handling characteristics that make the TRX-4 one of the most respected RC crawlers available. The 1/10 scale sizing is the standard for RC enthusiasts across the UK and worldwide, offering a perfect balance between portability and visibility during operation. The 313 mm wheelbase measurement (12.3 inches) ensures compatibility with the widest range of TRX-4 variants, though owners of alternative TRX-4 models may need to source additional inner fenders, specifically the #8080X component, to achieve a perfect fit. The pre-painted finish utilises Traxxas's professional-grade paint systems, designed to resist fading from UV exposure and maintain its aesthetic appeal through countless hours of outdoor bashing. The integrated expedition rack adds structural rigidity to the body whilst providing authentic detail and practical mounting points for additional accessories, making this kit suitable for both display and active use on trail courses or rocky terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this body suitable for all TRX-4 models? — This body is specifically designed for the TRX-4 Sport and any TRX-4 with a 12.3" (312 mm) wheelbase. Other TRX-4 models may require additional parts to ensure proper fitment, so we recommend verifying your chassis wheelbase measurement before purchasing.
• Do I need to paint this body or apply decals myself? — No. The body arrives fully painted in a professional grey finish with all decals pre-applied. This means you can mount it immediately on your TRX-4 without any additional finishing work, making it perfect for users who want to avoid painting and decal application.
• What makes the clipless mounting system better than traditional body clips? — The clipless mounting system eliminates the need for fiddly clips and fasteners, allowing for rapid body installation and removal without tools. This is ideal for RC enthusiasts who like to swap bodies frequently, perform maintenance, or transport their vehicle with the body removed.
• What are the #8080X inner fenders and why do I need them? — The #8080X inner fenders are required components for this body kit to fit properly on your TRX-4. They work in conjunction with the body to provide proper wheel clearance and a finished appearance. These are sold separately but are essential for correct installation.
• Can I use this body on a TRX-4 with a different wheelbase? — This body is engineered specifically for TRX-4 models with a 12.3" wheelbase. Other TRX-4 variants may require additional parts or modification for proper fitment, so we recommend confirming your chassis specifications before purchasing.
• Is the Expedition Rack already assembled? — Yes. The Expedition Rack comes pre-assembled with all accessories included, ready for immediate installation on your body. This saves you considerable assembly time and ensures proper fitment.
• What is the body material and why does it matter? — The body is manufactured from durable polycarbonate, a material chosen for its excellent impact resistance, lightweight properties, and longevity. Polycarbonate bodies withstand crashes and rough terrain better than some alternatives whilst maintaining optimal weight distribution for your TRX-4's performance.
• Does this body come with a windshield? — Yes. The kit includes windshield wipers as part of the comprehensive accessory package, though the actual windshield transparency is included to complete the authentic appearance of the body.
