Technical Performance
This body kit represents the pinnacle of detail engineering for 1/10 scale rock crawlers in the UK market. Constructed from premium injection-moulded polycarbonate, the body provides the perfect balance between durability and weight, ensuring your TRX-4 chassis maintains optimal handling and performance characteristics. The pre-painted finish uses high-gloss automotive-grade paint that resists UV fading and maintains its metallic blue colour through countless trail sessions. The body is designed for a 312mm wheelbase chassis and requires the #8072X inner fenders for proper fitment and aesthetics. Every detail—from the injection-moulded grille and side mirrors to the door handles, windshield wipers, and front and rear bumpers—is engineered to survive the rigours of trail crawling whilst maintaining visual authenticity. The clipless mounting system is engineered for quick tool-free installation, using a secure clip mechanism that holds the body firmly in place during aggressive off-road use. The polycarbonate material provides excellent impact resistance, protecting your investment when navigating rocky terrain, through water crossings or during competitive crawling events.
