• Polycarbonate Construction — Built from durable polycarbonate material, the body shell is designed to withstand the rigours of trail crawling whilst remaining lightweight enough to maintain optimal handling characteristics on your TRX-4.
• 1/10 Scale Proportions — Perfectly scaled at 1/10, this body integrates seamlessly with the TRX-4 chassis and complements the vehicle's rock crawling capabilities with realistic truck proportions.
• High Trail Edition Compatibility — Specifically engineered for the TRX-4 Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne High Trail Edition, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your existing TRX-4 platform.

Technical Performance

This Traxxas body shell represents the pinnacle of RC scale body engineering. Manufactured from durable polycarbonate, the material provides an excellent balance between impact resistance and lightweight construction, critical factors for rock crawlers that encounter rough terrain, obstacles and potential collisions during trail use. The pre-painted finish uses Traxxas's professional-grade automotive-style paint process, resulting in a durable coat that resists fading, chipping and weathering during outdoor use. The metallic blue colour provides excellent visual depth and authenticity, making your TRX-4 crawler stand out at the track or on the trail. At 1/10 scale, the body maintains accurate proportions to the original 1979 Chevrolet K10, with dimensions that perfectly accommodate the 13.2-inch (336 mm) wheelbase of the standard TRX-4 chassis. The integrated accessories—grille, mirrors, door handles, windshield wipers and bumpers—are factory-assembled and painted as a single unified unit, ensuring colour matching and eliminating the frustration of sourcing and installing individual components. The clipless mounting system represents significant engineering innovation, allowing body installation without tools or modification to either the body or chassis, a feature highly valued by RC enthusiasts who regularly swap bodies or need quick access to the mechanics. This body shell requires the separate purchase of Traxxas part number 9288 inner fenders to complete the installation on your TRX-4 crawler.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this a complete ready-to-run RC body or does it require assembly? — This is a replacement body shell designed for existing TRX-4 chassis platforms. The body itself arrives fully painted, decaled and with all accessories pre-installed, requiring only clipless mounting onto your TRX-4 frame. You will need a complete TRX-4 chassis, motor, ESC, battery and radio system to operate the vehicle, along with the Traxxas #9288 inner fenders for proper fitment.
• What TRX-4 models is this body compatible with? — This body is specifically designed as a replacement part for the TRX-4 Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne High Trail Edition, and functions as an accessory body for the TRX-4 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT High Trail Edition. It requires a standard TRX-4 chassis with a 13.2-inch (336 mm) wheelbase and the Traxxas #9288 inner fenders for installation.
• What makes the Traxxas clipless mounting system better than traditional body clips? — The clipless mounting technology allows you to install and remove the body without any tools, clips or fasteners, making it extremely quick to swap bodies, access the chassis for maintenance, or make emergency repairs on the trail. This is a significant convenience advantage for active RC crawlers and trail runners.
• Can I use this body on other RC crawler brands? — This body is engineered specifically for the TRX-4 platform with its unique wheelbase, proportions and mounting system. Whilst it may be physically possible to adapt to other crawlers, it is designed and tested exclusively for TRX-4 compatibility, and Traxxas cannot guarantee fitment on other chassis brands.
• Is the paint finish durable for outdoor use? — Yes, the polycarbonate body shell is coated with durable automotive-grade paint specifically formulated for RC use. The pre-applied metallic blue finish resists fading and weathering, though like any painted surface it benefits from occasional cleaning and protection from prolonged direct sunlight. Minor chips or scratches from trail use can be touched up with polycarbonate-safe paints available from Traxxas.
• What is the difference between this body and the black or silver versions? — This version features a striking metallic blue paint finish with decals pre-applied, offering a distinctive appearance. Traxxas also produces identical K10 bodies in other colours including black and metallic silver, allowing collectors to customise their TRX-4 fleet with different authentic finishes whilst maintaining identical scale detail and accessory components.
• Do I need to purchase inner fenders separately? — Yes, the Traxxas #9288 inner fenders are required and sold separately. These are essential components that complete the body installation and must be installed on your TRX-4 chassis prior to mounting this body shell.
• Is this suitable for competitive rock crawling or casual trail running? — This body is equally suitable for both applications. The durable polycarbonate construction withstands competitive crawling abuse, whilst the authentic styling appeals to casual enthusiasts who value scale detail. The TRX-4 platform itself is used for both serious competition and recreational trail use, and this factory-authentic body performs equally well in either context.
