Overview

The Traxxas Body, TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler (Clear, requires painting) is a premium bodyshell designed for one of the most impressive 6x6 RC crawlers available in the UK RC market today. This clear body represents the ultimate expression of scale realism and functional design, allowing you to customise the colour scheme to match your personal style whilst maintaining the authentic hauler aesthetic that makes this model such a crowd-pleaser on the trail. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast looking to refresh your TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler or a dedicated basher seeking to personalise your machine, this official Traxxas body shell provides the perfect canvas for your creativity.

At nearly a foot longer than the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6, the Ultimate RC Hauler commands attention wherever it goes. The distinctive flat-bed design provides ample carrying capacity for other 1/10 on-road RC cars and cargo, making it genuinely functional as well as visually striking. This isn't just another RC body—it's a fully-featured component that contributes to the overall performance and appeal of one of the most capable trail trucks in the Traxxas range. The clear bodyshell comes pre-trimmed and pre-drilled, making installation straightforward for owners of the TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler chassis.

Traxxas clear bodies are your personal canvas, and with Traxxas ProGraphix paint, you can achieve professional-quality results without specialist equipment. The protective overspray film applied to the body during manufacture helps prevent damage during painting, whilst the included accessories—headlights, roof lights, side mirrors, and decals—ensure you have everything needed to create a stunning, scale-accurate finished product. This is the genuine Traxxas OEM body for the Ultimate RC Hauler, manufactured to the same exacting standards as every other component in the Traxxas TRX ecosystem.

Key Features

• Fully-Trimmed Pre-Drilled Design — The body arrives completely trimmed and with all mounting holes pre-drilled, eliminating guesswork and ensuring perfect alignment when installing the shell onto your TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler chassis. This professional preparation means installation is quick and straightforward, even for those new to RC customisation.
• Clear Polycarbonate Construction — Manufactured from durable transparent polycarbonate, the clear shell provides a blank canvas for custom paint schemes whilst maintaining structural integrity and impact resistance during off-road use. The material is specifically formulated for RC bodies, offering the perfect balance between flexibility and durability.
• Factory-Installed LED Lighting Components — Included in the package are fully functional factory-installed headlights and roof lights that integrate seamlessly with the TRX-6's electrical system. These LED units provide realistic illumination for trail exploration after dark and are completely operational, requiring no additional upgrades or modifications.
• Protective Overspray Film — A protective film is pre-applied to the body during manufacturing, safeguarding the polycarbonate from paint overspray and other potential damage during the painting process. This thoughtful inclusion ensures your finished product maintains its clarity and precision without accidental paint damage.
• Scale-Accurate Side Mirrors — Detailed side mirror replicas are included, contributing to the authentic hauler appearance and complementing the realistic proportions of the Ultimate RC Hauler platform. These items are pre-assembled and ready to install for immediate visual authenticity.

These decals can be applied after painting to create a fully finished, professional-looking result.

• Hauler-Specific Flat-Bed Design — Unlike other TRX-6 bodies, the Ultimate Hauler features a unique flat-bed cargo area with ample capacity for carrying other 1/10 RC cars or scale cargo. This functional design is not merely aesthetic—it allows you to genuinely transport additional vehicles, making the hauler a versatile addition to any RC collection.

Technical Performance

The TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler body represents the pinnacle of scale truck design, engineered to accommodate the unique dimensions and proportions of the Ultimate Hauler platform. At just shy of a full foot (302 mm) longer than the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6, this bodyshell requires a chassis with extended one-piece steel frame rails to maintain structural integrity and torsional flexibility. The polycarbonate construction has been specifically formulated for RC applications, providing the flexibility necessary for impact absorption whilst maintaining the rigidity required for accurate body-on-chassis fitment. The pre-drilled mounting points align perfectly with the TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler's body posts, ensuring the shell sits true and secure without any gaps or misalignment. The flat-bed design distributes weight evenly across the chassis, and the included LED lighting components integrate seamlessly with the TRX-6's electrical architecture, drawing power from the vehicle's battery system without requiring additional wiring or modifications. The scale width of 9.8 inches (249 mm) matches the portal axle track precisely, whilst the headlights, roof lights, and side mirrors are factory-installed and fully functional, providing immediate visual appeal without the need for aftermarket lighting upgrades. When paired with Traxxas ProGraphix paint, this clear body can be finished to professional standards, creating a genuinely stunning scale replica that turns heads both on the trail and amongst fellow RC enthusiasts in the UK RC community.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this body compatible with my TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler? — Yes, this is the genuine OEM body shell specifically designed for the TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler (compatible with model TRX88086-84-BLK and other standard Hauler variants). The pre-drilled mounting holes and flat-bed design are engineered precisely for the Ultimate Hauler's extended chassis dimensions, ensuring perfect fitment without modification. This is not a universal TRX-6 body—it is specifically designed for the Ultimate RC Hauler platform.
• Does this body come painted, or will I need to paint it myself? — The body arrives clear and unpainted, requiring you to apply your own colour scheme using Traxxas ProGraphix paint or equivalent RC body paint. This allows complete creative freedom in designing your custom colour scheme, graphics, and finish. Traxxas ProGraphix paint is specifically formulated for polycarbonate RC bodies and produces professional-quality results with standard spray equipment. The protective overspray film pre-applied to the body helps prevent accidental paint damage during the painting process.
• Are the LED lights included, and are they functional? — Yes, the headlights and roof lights are factory-installed and fully functional, integrated with the TRX-6's electrical system. These LED units provide authentic illumination for night-time trail driving and require no additional upgrades, wiring modifications, or purchases. The lighting simply operates through the vehicle's existing battery and power management system.
• What painting supplies do I need to finish this body? — You will need Traxxas ProGraphix paint in your chosen colours, standard RC spray painting equipment (airbrush, spray gun, or aerosol cans), and masking materials such as masking tape and masking fluid. A clear coat finish is optional but recommended for durability and gloss. The protective overspray film pre-applied to the body helps prevent accidental overspray damage to the transparent polycarbonate during the painting process.
• Is painting this body difficult for a beginner? — Clear body painting is accessible to RC enthusiasts of all skill levels, and Traxxas ProGraphix paint is specifically formulated for straightforward application. The protective overspray film safeguards the body during painting, reducing the risk of accidental damage. Many UK RC retailers, including RC Model Shop, can advise on painting techniques and supplies. For those preferring professional finishing, RC specialist shops often offer body painting services.
• What is the difference between this and the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 body? — The Ultimate RC Hauler body is significantly longer than the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 body, with extended dimensions of just shy of a full foot longer (approximately 11.9 inches / 302 mm additional length). The Hauler features a distinctive flat-bed cargo design with ample capacity for transporting other 1/10 RC cars, whilst the Mercedes-Benz maintains the iconic SUV profile. Both bodies fit the same track width of 9.8 inches and share the same portal axle spacing, but the Hauler's extended wheelbase requires the longer one-piece steel frame rails of the Ultimate RC Hauler chassis.
• Can I carry actual RC cars in the Hauler's bed? — Yes, the flat-bed design provides ample room for most 1/10 on-road RC cars and scale cargo, making this a genuinely functional hauler rather than purely cosmetic. The bed dimensions have been engineered to safely accommodate 1/10 scale vehicles, and the TRX-6's robust construction easily handles the combined weight during trail driving and climbing.
• Does the body include everything I need to get started? — The body includes all necessary components for installation and finishing: the clear polycarbonate shell, factory-installed LED lights, side mirrors, decals, and protective film. You will need to source painting supplies and potentially the TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler chassis if you don't already own one, but all body-specific components are included in the package.
