Key Features

• Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The transparent body material acts as your personal canvas, allowing you to select any colour scheme and custom design you desire. This gives you complete creative control over the final appearance of your RC model, something pre-painted bodies simply cannot offer. You decide whether you want classic original Chevrolet colours, modern custom schemes, or something entirely unique.
• Fully Trimmed and Ready to Paint — Unlike basic body shells, this Traxxas Blazer comes fully trimmed, meaning all the cutting and preparation work is already done for you. This significantly reduces the time between purchase and painting, allowing you to move directly to the customisation stage without tedious bodywork preparation.
• Authentic 1969-1970 Chevrolet Blazer Design — The body captures the iconic classic styling of the original 1969-1970 Chevrolet Blazer, a legendary off-road vehicle. This authentic scale representation appeals to automotive enthusiasts, classic car fans, and serious RC scale crawlers who value historical accuracy and attention to detail in their RC models.
• Moulded Body Accessories Included — The package includes pre-moulded grille, side mirrors, door handles, and windshield wipers that are integrated into the body design. These components add tremendous visual detail and scale authenticity without requiring separate purchases or complex installation procedures.
• Window Masking Included — Precision window masking is supplied in the box, making the painting process faster and cleaner. This protective masking ensures crisp, professional-looking window lines and reduces overspray cleanup, which is essential for achieving dealership-quality paint finishes on your RC model.
• Comprehensive Decal Sheets — The body comes with detailed decal sheets that allow you to add authentic Chevrolet badging, stripes, and graphics. These decals are printed to the same professional standards as the Traxxas brand itself, enhancing the scale authenticity of your finished build.
• Pre-Applied Overspray Film Protection — A protective overspray film is already applied to the body, which safeguards the clear polycarbonate during the painting process. This film prevents paint drips and overspray from damaging the underlying structure, a feature that protects your investment and ensures a cleaner, more professional final result.
• 312 mm Wheelbase Compatibility — This body is precisely engineered to fit the TRX-4 platform with a 312 mm wheelbase dimension. This specific fit ensures proper proportions, correct ground clearance, and authentic scale appearance when mounted on compatible Traxxas chassis systems.
• Mounting Hardware Included — All necessary mounting hardware is provided in the package, meaning you won't need to source additional fasteners or brackets. This complete package approach saves money and ensures you have everything needed for proper installation on your TRX-4 chassis.
• Professional-Grade Traxxas ProGraphix Paint Compatibility — This body is designed to work seamlessly with Traxxas ProGraphix paint system, which is specifically formulated for polycarbonate body shells. This paint system delivers professional-quality results that are durable, vibrant, and colour-fast, even with regular use and exposure to outdoor conditions common in UK RC environments.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Body, Chevrolet Blazer is engineered with premium polycarbonate materials that provide an excellent balance between durability and weight. Clear polycarbonate bodies are industry-standard in RC scale crawling because they offer superior impact resistance compared to painted alternatives whilst remaining lightweight enough not to affect vehicle performance or handling characteristics. The fully-trimmed construction means the body arrives ready for professional finishing without time-consuming preparation work. At 312 mm wheelbase compatibility, this body integrates perfectly with the TRX-4 platform, one of the most sophisticated and capable RC crawlers on the market, delivering exceptional scaling and ground clearance proportions. The moulded accessories including grille, mirrors, door handles, and windshield wipers add authentic detail without compromising structural integrity or adding unnecessary weight. The pre-applied overspray film protection safeguards the clear material during the painting process, whilst window masking ensures crisp, clean results around the windscreen area. When paired with Traxxas ProGraphix paint, which is specifically formulated for polycarbonate substrates, you achieve professional-grade finishes with excellent durability and colour vibrancy. The inclusive decal sheets enable authentic Chevrolet badging and graphics that enhance scale authenticity and visual appeal. This body shell represents the pinnacle of RC scale body engineering, combining authentic classic automotive styling with modern materials science and manufacturing precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this body shell suitable for beginners in RC scale modelling? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst painting requires some care and attention, the fully-trimmed construction and included window masking make this accessible to beginners. The clear body format means mistakes in paint application are less visible than on pre-painted alternatives, making it forgiving for first-time builders. Traxxas ProGraphix paint is specifically designed to deliver professional results even for those new to RC body painting, and countless beginner RC enthusiasts in the UK have successfully completed Traxxas clear body projects.
• What is the difference between a clear body and a pre-painted body? — Clear bodies offer unlimited customisation potential, allowing you to choose any colour scheme, graphics, or custom designs you prefer. Pre-painted bodies offer convenience and faster assembly but limit you to fixed colour options. Clear bodies are ideal for scale authenticity projects, unique custom builds, or competitors who want to match specific team colours or personal preferences. They're also popular because any cosmetic damage during use can be repaired through repainting rather than requiring body shell replacement.
• Can I use other brands of paint on this Traxxas body? — Whilst the body is clear polycarbonate and technically compatible with any polycarbonate-safe paint, Traxxas ProGraphix is specifically formulated and recommended for optimal adhesion, durability, and colour matching on this body shell. Using non-compatible paints risks poor adhesion, peeling, or paint failure during use. Professional RC modellers and competitive crawlers across the UK consistently choose Traxxas ProGraphix paint for clear Traxxas bodies because the results are reliable and long-lasting.
• What wheelbase does this body fit? — This body is engineered for the TRX-4 platform with a 312 mm wheelbase dimension. This precise fit ensures correct proportions, authentic scaling, and proper ground clearance. Installing this body on non-TRX-4 chassis or different wheelbase platforms may result in incorrect proportions or fitment issues.
• How long does painting and finishing typically take? — The fully-trimmed construction and included window masking reduces preparation time significantly compared to basic body shells. Painting time depends on your chosen method (brush, spray can, or airbrush) and number of colour coats, typically ranging from 2-4 hours for application. Drying and curing time varies by paint type but generally requires 24-48 hours for full hardness before installation. Professional competitors sometimes allocate additional time for graphics application using included decals and fine detailing.
• Is the overspray film protection reusable? — The pre-applied overspray film is designed for single-use protection during the initial painting process. Once removed after paint curing, the film serves its protective purpose and is typically discarded. You should not attempt to reapply or reuse this protective film as it may lose adhesive properties or protective qualities.
• What makes Traxxas clear bodies different from competitor options? — Traxxas clear bodies are manufactured to exacting standards with premium polycarbonate materials that offer superior impact resistance and durability. The fully-trimmed construction, included mounting hardware, protective overspray film, and compatibility with Traxxas ProGraphix paint system create a complete ecosystem designed to deliver professional results. The moulded detail accessories (grille, mirrors, handles, wipers) are integrated into the body mould rather than added separately, resulting in seamless, authentic scale appearance. Traxxas bodies are recognised across the UK RC community as setting the benchmark for quality, detail, and reliability.
• Can I paint this body without using Traxxas ProGraphix paint? — Technically yes, but it's not recommended. Traxxas ProGraphix is specifically formulated for polycarbonate substrates and delivers optimal adhesion, durability, and colour vibrancy. Other paint systems may not adhere properly, may crack or peel during use, or may interact chemically with the polycarbonate material. Serious RC modellers and competitive crawlers across the UK trust Traxxas ProGraphix because it's engineered specifically for this application and delivers professional, long-lasting results.
