Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between ProGraphix and pre-painted Traxxas bodies? — ProGraphix bodies feature fully painted graphics with a clear main body that you paint yourself, giving you complete customisation control. Pre-painted bodies arrive in a single colour with graphics already applied. ProGraphix offers creative freedom and the satisfaction of creating a unique colour scheme, whilst pre-painted bodies are ready to run immediately without any painting required.
• Do I need any special skills or equipment to paint this body? — No, the ProGraphix system is specifically designed for easy application by anyone. A simple spray can of Traxxas ProGraphix paint is all you need to achieve professional-looking results. The included overspray film protects your graphics, so you do not need to mask anything carefully. Even beginners can achieve excellent results with basic spray painting technique.
• What colours are available for the ProGraphix paint? — Traxxas offers a range of ProGraphix paint colours that can be purchased separately. Check the Traxxas catalogue or speak with our team at RC Model Shop for the full range of available colours to match your vision for your Slash 4X4.
• Will this body fit my Slash 4X4? — Yes, this body is specifically designed for the Traxxas Slash 4X4 and includes all necessary mounting hardware. The clipless latches and included brackets ensure a perfect fit and secure attachment to your chassis.
• Is this suitable for beginners in the RC hobby? — Yes, absolutely. The ProGraphix body system is specifically designed to be user-friendly for hobbyists of all experience levels. The fully trimmed bodyshell requires no cutting or preparation, and the painting process is straightforward with basic spray technique.

• How durable is the ProGraphix bodyshell? — Traxxas bodies are constructed from high-quality durable plastic designed to withstand the rigours of regular bashing and racing. The body will protect your chassis during impacts and collisions, though like all RC bodies, it may require replacement after significant damage from high-speed crashes or impacts.
• Can I reuse the decal sheet if I damage it? — The decal sheet is single-use consumable. However, because you have complete control over your colour scheme and the graphic placement, you can create a completely new look if you choose not to use decals on your repainted body.
• What is the advantage of the pre-applied overspray film? — The pre-applied film protects your detailed graphics whilst you spray your chosen colour onto the clear areas of the body. This eliminates the need for careful masking and ensures your graphics remain crisp and professional-looking after painting. Simply peel away the film after painting and your body is complete.
