Technical Performance
The Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally body is engineered for compatibility with the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL platform, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal aerodynamic performance. The polycarbonate construction offers an excellent balance between weight and durability—lightweight enough to minimise unsprung mass and improve handling characteristics, yet robust enough to withstand impacts that would damage cheaper plastic alternatives. The integrated wing design contributes to stability at high speeds by generating downforce, which is particularly beneficial during fast cornering and on technical rally courses typical of UK RC racing. The clipless latches provide positive body retention without adding bulk or complexity, and the pre-assembled configuration means no assembly errors or misalignment issues. The vibrant green ProGraphix paint is formulated to resist UV fading and maintain its colour vibrancy through extended outdoor use, ensuring your RC car looks showroom-fresh lap after lap. Whether you're running this body on a competition rally course or using it for casual bashing, the engineering quality reflects Traxxas's commitment to performance and reliability that UK RC enthusiasts have trusted for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this Ford Fiesta ST Rally body compatible with my Traxxas chassis? — Yes, this body is specifically designed for the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL platform (TRX74276-4-GRN and TRX74276-4-ORNG models) and the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally BL-2S Rally Car in red (TRX74154-4-RED). Always confirm your chassis model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- Do I need to trim or paint this body before use? — No, absolutely not. The Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally body arrives completely finished with professional ProGraphix paint and all decals pre-applied. You can mount it directly to your chassis without any trimming, painting, or decal application work required—just bolt it on and drive.
- What makes the ProGraphix paint system special? — Traxxas's ProGraphix paint is a premium automotive-grade finish that delivers vibrant, long-lasting colour with excellent durability. It resists fading from UV exposure and maintains its finish through countless bashing sessions and competitive racing events. The paint is applied with precision in the factory, ensuring a flawless finish that would be difficult to achieve at home.
- Can I use this body on other RC rally cars? — This body is specifically engineered for Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally chassis platforms. Whilst polycarbonate bodies can sometimes be adapted, we recommend using the body only on compatible Traxxas platforms to ensure proper fitment, aerodynamics, and performance. Using it on incompatible chassis could result in poor handling and fitment issues.
- How durable is the polycarbonate material? — Traxxas polycarbonate bodies are engineered for exceptional durability and impact resistance. The material is flexible enough to absorb impacts without shattering, yet rigid enough to maintain aerodynamic shape. Polycarbonate is significantly more durable than painted plastic alternatives and can withstand years of competitive and recreational use.
- Is this body suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Since this body comes fully assembled, painted, and with decals applied, it's ideal for beginners who want to avoid the complexity of body preparation. Simply mount it on your compatible Traxxas chassis and you're ready to race. There's no skill barrier to achieving a professional-looking result.
- How does the integrated wing affect performance? — The fitted wing generates aerodynamic downforce that improves traction and stability at higher speeds, particularly beneficial during cornering and on high-speed rally stages. The wing is pre-mounted and requires no adjustment, making it a hassle-free performance enhancement.
- What is the difference between the green, orange and red body options? — Traxxas offers this Ford Fiesta ST Rally body in multiple colours: green (TRX7427-GRN), orange (TRX7427-ORNG), and red (for the BL-2S version). All feature identical quality, finish, and fitment—the choice is purely aesthetic based on your preferred colour scheme and chassis compatibility.
