Key Features
- Clear polycarbonate construction — The unpainted bodyshell allows you total creative control over your colour scheme and design, enabling you to paint it exactly as you envision using Traxxas ProGraphix paint for professional results that won't be found on any ready to run RC crawler.
- Authentic 1972 Chevrolet Blazer design — The injection-moulded body faithfully reproduces the iconic K5 Blazer with historically accurate proportions and styling details that capture the essence of this legendary off-road truck.
- Comprehensive trim package included — The kit comes with an injection-moulded grille, side mirrors, door handles, windshield wipers, and all necessary decals and detail parts, eliminating the need to source these components separately.
- Window masking sheets included — Pre-cut masking material makes the painting process significantly easier, allowing you to mask windows and other areas quickly and precisely for clean, professional paint lines.
- Clipless mounting system — The innovative clipless design means you can mount and remove the body in seconds by simply reaching under the wheels to release the locking tabs, with no separate clips or hook-and-loop fasteners required.
- Full trim and detail parts — Beyond the basic bodyshell, this kit includes chromed accents, simulated wood trim details, and precision decals that provide the final touches for an unmistakable, period-correct appearance.
- Scale-detail interior compatibility — This body is compatible with Traxxas scale-detail interior kits (sold separately), which include individually moulded parts such as a separate roll bar, gauge cluster, steering wheel, shift lever, and centre console for maximum realism.
- Hardware and mounting brackets included — All necessary mounting hardware is provided in the box, ensuring you have everything needed for straightforward installation on your TRX-4 chassis.
- 1/10 scale RC crawler body — Designed specifically for 1/10-scale TRX-4 platforms with a 312 mm wheelbase, this body delivers authentic scale proportions that work perfectly with the TRX-4's legendary rock-crawling capabilities.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX-4 1972 Chevrolet Blazer body is constructed from durable injection-moulded polycarbonate, the industry-standard material for high-quality RC bodyshells. This material offers excellent impact resistance and flexibility, protecting your chassis whilst maintaining the authentic scale appearance that serious off-road RC enthusiasts demand. As a 1/10-scale body designed for the TRX-4 platform, it requires a chassis with a 312 mm wheelbase to ensure proper fitment and authentic proportions. The clear polycarbonate allows light transmission through the bodyshell, and when painted with Traxxas ProGraphix paint using the included window masking guide, it creates a professional appearance indistinguishable from factory-painted bodies available on ready to run RC models. The body's integrated clip mounting system eliminates the need for aftermarket clips or fastening systems, reducing complexity and potential points of failure. The included grille, mirrors, door handles, and windshield wipers are precision injection-moulded to match the body's scale, and the decal sheet provides chrome trim and other details that complete the K5 Blazer's iconic appearance. For optimal compatibility and fitment, this body requires the #8072X inner fenders to be installed on your TRX-4 chassis. The bodyshell is designed for the serious scale crawler who wants to create a highly personalised model with custom paint and detailing whilst maintaining the structural integrity and ease of use that Traxxas is known for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need any special tools to install this body on my TRX-4? — No, the clipless mounting system is specifically designed for tool-free installation and removal. Simply align the body on your chassis and press down to engage the locking tabs. To remove it, reach under the wheels and release the locking tabs from underneath — no clips or fasteners to struggle with.
- What paint should I use for this clear body? — Traxxas recommends using Traxxas ProGraphix paint, which is specially formulated for polycarbonate bodies and delivers professional-quality results. The window masking sheets included in the kit make the painting process significantly easier by protecting windows and other areas.
- Is this body compatible with my existing TRX-4? — This body is designed for TRX-4 platforms with a 312 mm wheelbase. It is a direct replacement for TRX-4 1972 Chevrolet Blazer High Trail Edition models and works as an accessory body for TRX-4 Sport models. You will also need to install #8072X inner fenders for proper fitment.
- Can I use this body with the scale-detail interior kit? — Yes, this body is fully compatible with Traxxas scale-detail interior kits. The interior mounts directly to the clipless body mounting system and lifts up as part of the body, maximising convenience and scale authenticity.
- What makes the clipless mounting system better than traditional body clips? — The clipless design eliminates the need for separate clips or hook-and-loop fasteners that can get lost, wear out, or require adjustment. The integrated locking tabs provide secure mounting whilst allowing quick removal by reaching under the wheels, making it ideal for RC car enthusiasts who want simplicity and reliability.
- Are all the detail parts included, or do I need to buy them separately? — The kit is comprehensively trimmed with all major detail parts included: injection-moulded grille, mirrors, door handles, windshield wipers, precision decals, and mounting hardware. You won't need to source additional trim parts to achieve the complete K5 Blazer look.
- What is the difference between this clear body and a pre-painted version? — The clear body allows total creative control over your colour scheme and design, enabling custom paint jobs that aren't available on standard ready to run models. Pre-painted versions offer convenience if you want to use the body immediately, but this clear option is perfect for enthusiasts who want to create something truly unique.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is primarily a body shell component rather than a complete ready to run RC car, so it's best suited to RC enthusiasts with some experience in painting and assembly. You'll need painting equipment and skills to complete this project, making it more suitable for intermediate to advanced builders rather than complete beginners.
