• Rear Wing with Retainer — The included rear wing and wing retainer add functional aerodynamic styling and performance appeal, particularly suited to drag racing applications where downforce and visual impact matter equally.
• Bumper Foam Protection — Protective foam bumper material is included to safeguard the front and rear of the body from impact damage during bashing, racing, or storage, extending the life of your pre-painted finish.
• Complete Mounting Hardware — Rear body mount posts and all necessary mounting hardware are included in the box, ensuring you have everything required to securely attach the body to your Drag Slash chassis without additional purchases.
• Pre-Cut Ready to Mount — The body arrives pre-cut and specifically engineered to fit the Drag Slash platform, ensuring straightforward assembly and proper fitment without requiring modifications or additional tooling.
• Lightweight Notchback Design — The notchback configuration delivers lighter weight compared to hatchback variants, contributing to improved performance characteristics and easier handling on the Drag Slash chassis.
• Increased Structural Rigidity — The Fox-chassis Mustang design provides enhanced structural rigidity over alternative body styles, ensuring the painted body maintains its shape and appearance even during aggressive racing or bashing sessions.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Ford Mustang Fox Body is manufactured from polycarbonate material, a proven plastic compound renowned for durability, impact resistance, and excellent paint adhesion in RC applications across the UK and worldwide. Polycarbonate bodies maintain their finish through repeated use and resist yellowing or degradation better than many alternative materials. The pre-painted finish is professionally applied by Traxxas and protected by the robust polycarbonate substrate, ensuring your red Mustang maintains its visual impact through countless runs. At 1/10 scale, this body is precisely engineered to fit the Traxxas Drag Slash platform, a purpose-built drag racing chassis designed for straight-line acceleration and performance. The body shell alone requires the separate Drag Slash chassis, motor, ESC, battery, and radio system to function as a complete ready to run RC car—this is a body shell only product, allowing you to upgrade an existing Drag Slash or pair it with new components as needed. The injection-moulded side mirrors and rear wing add visual detail whilst maintaining the aerodynamic profile optimised for drag racing applications. The included bumper foam acts as a sacrificial protection layer, absorbing impact energy and protecting the polycarbonate body during aggressive use. The rear body mount posts are engineered to work seamlessly with Drag Slash chassis mounting points, ensuring secure fitment without rattling or movement during acceleration, braking, or cornering.
