Key Features

• Fully Painted Professional Finish — The body arrives in stunning red with the hottest ProGraphix paint application, meaning you don't need to paint it yourself. The factory paint finish is durable and vibrant, saving you time and ensuring a professional result that matches Traxxas' quality standards.
• Pre-Applied Decals — Every decal is already applied and sealed, giving your TRX-4 an authentic, factory-fresh appearance from the moment you mount the body. This eliminates the fiddly work of applying decals yourself and ensures perfect alignment.
• Complete Accessory Package — This isn't a bare shell. The body includes a grille, side mirrors, door handles, windshield wipers, and a pre-assembled Expedition Rack with accessories, providing a fully equipped look that sets it apart from basic body kits available elsewhere in the UK market.
• Clipless Mounting System — The innovative clipless mounting design makes body removal and installation quick and tool-free. You can swap bodies or access your TRX-4 chassis without fussing with traditional body posts or clips, which is perfect for maintenance and customisation.
• Polycarbonate Construction — Built from tough, impact-resistant polycarbonate material, this body withstands regular bashing, crawling, and competition use. The material is flexible enough to absorb impacts without cracking, yet rigid enough to maintain shape and appearance.
• Body Reinforcements Included — Integrated body reinforcements protect the structure against damage and extend the lifespan of your shell. These reinforcements are engineered to work seamlessly with the clipless mounting system.
• Pre-Trimmed and Ready to Mount — The body arrives trimmed and prepared for immediate installation. You won't spend hours with a hobby knife or heat gun preparing your shell; it's ready to go straight from the box.
• Compatible with Multiple TRX-4 Models — Whilst designed for the TRX-4 Sport High Trail Edition, this body is compatible with any TRX-4 featuring a 12.3-inch (312 mm) wheelbase. This includes various Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco, and Nissan Pathfinder TRX-4 models, offering flexibility in your build options.
• Authentic Scale Styling — At 1/10 scale, this body captures the details and proportions of a modern SUV/truck platform, with realistic body lines, proper panel gaps, and scale-accurate proportions that look great whether displayed or driven on the trail.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX-4 Sport Complete Body represents the pinnacle of Traxxas' design philosophy for 1/10 scale crawlers. Constructed from high-quality polycarbonate, the bodyshell offers the perfect balance of durability, weight savings, and visual appeal. The material has been selected for its ability to withstand impacts during rock crawling and trail bashing without permanent deformation, whilst remaining light enough to preserve the TRX-4's exceptional weight distribution and centre of gravity. This is crucial for a platform like the TRX-4 Sport, which relies on precise weight placement and low centre of mass to achieve its renowned climbing ability and stability on challenging terrain.

The body is engineered to work seamlessly with the TRX-4's chassis architecture, which utilises independent suspension with portal axles and a sophisticated weight distribution system. The complete body assembly, including the pre-mounted Expedition Rack and accessories, maintains the proper proportions needed for scale realism whilst ensuring no interference with suspension articulation, steering geometry, or drivetrain components. The clipless mounting latches and body reinforcements integrate with the chassis in a way that traditional body posts cannot match, providing superior stability during high-articulation crawling scenarios where body movement can be problematic. All trimmed areas are clean and precise, with no rough edges that could catch on frame rails or interfere with component operation. The pre-applied ProGraphix paint and decals are sealed with protective clear coat, providing resistance to UV fading, moisture, and the inevitable scrapes that come with serious RC driving in the UK, where weather conditions are often harsh.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this body fit my TRX-4? — This body is designed for any TRX-4 with a 12.3-inch (312 mm) wheelbase, which includes the TRX-4 Sport High Trail Edition models as well as various Blazer, Bronco, and Pathfinder variants. However, other TRX-4 models may require additional modification parts. Check your TRX-4's specifications or contact our team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility before ordering.
• What makes the clipless mounting system better than traditional body posts? — Clipless mounting eliminates the need for body posts, clips, and screws, making body removal completely tool-free. You can swap bodies in seconds, making maintenance and cleaning far quicker. The system also provides superior body security during crawling, as the latches maintain consistent pressure and don't loosen over time like traditional posts can.
• Do I need to paint or decal this body myself? — No. This body arrives fully painted in vibrant red with all decals pre-applied and sealed. You can mount it straight onto your chassis without any preparation work. This is a massive time-saver compared to buying unpainted shells and handling all the painting and decalling yourself.
• What is the wheelbase measurement I need to check? — You need a 12.3-inch (312 mm) wheelbase. This measurement is the distance between the front and rear axle centres. If your TRX-4 has a different wheelbase, this body may not fit without additional parts.
• Is the Expedition Rack removable? — Yes, the Expedition Rack is pre-assembled and included with the body. You can remove it if desired, though it's designed as an integral part of the complete body package and contributes to the authentic scale appearance.
• What is ProGraphix paint? — ProGraphix is Traxxas' proprietary paint system, known for exceptional durability, vibrant colour, and UV resistance. It's engineered to withstand outdoor conditions, UV exposure, and the wear and tear of regular RC use better than standard paints.
• Why are inner fenders (#8080X) required? — The inner fenders work with the clipless mounting system to provide structural support and proper body alignment. They're essential for the body to mount securely and function as designed.
• Can I use this body on my TRX-4 if I already have a different body mounted? — Absolutely. The clipless system makes swapping bodies incredibly simple. Just release the latches, lift off the old body, position the new one, and engage the latches. It's one of the quickest body swaps in RC driving.
• Is this body suitable for competition crawling? — Yes. The TRX-4 platform is used in serious competition, and this genuine Traxxas body is engineered to competition standards. Many competitors use TRX-4 Sport bodies for GLAMIS, King of the Hammers, and other major events.
• How durable is polycarbonate compared to other body materials? — Polycarbonate is excellent for RC use. It's more flexible than rigid plastics, absorbing impacts without cracking, whilst remaining stiff enough to maintain shape. It's lighter than resin, making it ideal for performance crawlers where weight matters.
