Key Features

• Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, which provides excellent impact resistance while remaining lightweight enough to maintain optimal handling characteristics on your 1/10 scale RC car. This material also accepts paint beautifully, allowing you to achieve any colour scheme imaginable.
• Fully Trimmed and Pre-Drilled — Every body comes fully trimmed with pre-drilled mounting holes positioned precisely for the 4-Tec 2.0 chassis, eliminating the need for body cutting or modification. This feature dramatically reduces assembly time and ensures perfect fitment every single time.
• Protective Overspray Film — A protective film is already applied to the body during manufacturing, shielding your finished paint work from overspray during the detailing phase. This means you can paint with confidence, knowing that covered areas will remain pristine.
• Complete Accessory Package — The body includes everything required to complete your project: authentic Cadillac CTS-V decals, side mirrors, rear spoiler, window masking, and all necessary mounting hardware. No need to hunt through multiple retailers for components—everything arrives together in one convenient package.

• Authentic Cadillac CTS-V Design — Based on the real Cadillac CTS-V, this bodyshell features the distinctive proportions and styling cues of the luxury American performance vehicle, giving your RC car an instantly recognisable appearance that turns heads at the track.
• 1/10 Scale Touring Car Class — Specifically designed for 1/10 scale touring car platforms like the Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0, this body integrates seamlessly with existing popular RC chassis used throughout the UK and worldwide.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Cadillac CTS-V body represents the pinnacle of clear bodyshell engineering for 1/10 scale touring cars. Constructed from high-quality polycarbonate, the material has been selected for its perfect balance of rigidity and impact absorption. The bodyshell maintains structural integrity during high-speed cornering whilst flexing slightly to absorb impacts from inevitable RC crashes. Pre-drilled mounting holes are positioned with precision tolerances to ensure perfect alignment with the 4-Tec 2.0 chassis, eliminating frustrating fitment issues common with generic aftermarket bodies. The inclusion of side mirrors and rear spoiler adds downforce simulation and aerodynamic authenticity, whilst the protective overspray film ensures that your finished paint work remains pristine throughout the assembly and operation phases. The window masking system provided with this body set allows you to achieve perfectly clean paint lines around the clear polycarbonate windows, a hallmark of professional-quality RC car builds. With this body fitted to your 4-Tec 2.0 platform, your RC touring car will command attention wherever you take it, whether you're racing competitively or enjoying casual weekend bashing with fellow enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What chassis does the Traxxas Cadillac CTS-V clear body TRX8391 fit? — This clear bodyshell is specifically designed for the Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 chassis platform. It features pre-drilled mounting holes that align precisely with this chassis, ensuring perfect fitment without modification. The 4-Tec 2.0 is Traxxas's premier 1/10 scale touring car platform, recognised worldwide for its precision engineering and performance credentials.
• Is this body suitable for beginners new to RC customisation? — Absolutely. This body is an excellent choice for beginners because it arrives fully trimmed and pre-drilled, eliminating complex cutting or drilling work. The inclusion of window masking, protective overspray film, and all mounting hardware means you only need to choose your paint colour and apply it. The comprehensive accessory package removes guesswork about sourcing additional components, making the entire project straightforward and rewarding for first-time customisers.
• What paint should I use on this polycarbonate body? — Traxxas ProGraphix paint is specifically formulated for polycarbonate RC bodies and is the recommended choice for optimal results. This professional-quality paint adheres perfectly to the polycarbonate material and cures to a durable finish resistant to chipping and environmental fading. Alternative polycarbonate-compatible RC paints from other manufacturers will also work, but ProGraphix is engineered specifically for this application and delivers the most reliable results.
• Do I need to cut or trim this body before mounting? — No. The body arrives fully trimmed with all necessary cuts and openings completed at the factory. Pre-drilled mounting holes are positioned precisely for the 4-Tec 2.0 chassis, allowing you to mount the body directly without any modification or cutting work. This saves significant time and ensures perfect fitment.
• What makes this body different from other clear 1/10 touring car bodies? — This Traxxas body stands out because it includes a complete accessory package: authentic Cadillac CTS-V decals, side mirrors, rear spoiler, window masking, and mounting hardware all arrive together. The protective overspray film pre-applied to the body is a premium feature that protects your finished paint work. Additionally, the fully trimmed and pre-drilled design eliminates preparation work required with other body options, getting you to the painting stage faster.
• Can I use this body on chassis other than the 4-Tec 2.0? — The pre-drilled mounting holes are specifically positioned for the Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 chassis. Using this body on alternative chassis platforms may require modification to the mounting holes or body mounting system. For best results and perfect fitment, we recommend using this body exclusively with the 4-Tec 2.0 platform it was engineered for.
• How long does painting and customisation typically take? — Most builders report that masking, painting, and detailing this bodyshell takes between 4-8 hours, depending on your painting experience and the complexity of your design. The included window masking accelerates the masking process, and the protective overspray film eliminates the need to mask the entire interior. First-time builders should allow additional time to become familiar with the ProGraphix paint system.
• Is this body waterproof for wet weather racing? — Polycarbonate bodies are inherently water-resistant, though the seams and mounting areas may allow some water ingress during heavy rain or wet track conditions. For competitive wet-weather racing, sealing the mounting hardware with silicone or rubber gaskets is recommended. For casual bashers and fair-weather RC car enthusiasts, the standard construction is perfectly adequate.
