Key Features
- Fully Trimmed and Ready to Paint — The body arrives completely trimmed with all necessary cut-outs already finished, eliminating the time-consuming preparation work and allowing you to move directly to the painting stage without frustration or wasted effort.
- ProGraphix Pre-Painted Detail — This body features pre-applied graphics and detail work that provides a professional foundation for your custom paint job, ensuring that even if you're new to painting RC bodies, you'll achieve a factory-quality finish that looks genuinely impressive.

- Clipless Body Latches with Hardware — The innovative clipless mounting system makes installing and removing the body incredibly quick and tool-free, which means you can swap bodies in seconds for different colour schemes, or remove the body for cleaning and maintenance without any complicated fasteners or tools.
- Genuine Decal Sheet Included — Every body comes with a comprehensive decal sheet featuring authentic Traxxas graphics and design elements, giving you the option to apply factory-style decals or customise them according to your preferences for a truly unique finished appearance.
- Polycarbonate Construction — The lightweight polycarbonate material provides the perfect balance between durability and weight savings, meaning your RC short course truck maintains excellent handling whilst the body can withstand the inevitable impacts and scrapes that come with enthusiastic driving.
- Designed for Mini Slash 4X4 Compatibility — This body is engineered specifically for the Mini Slash platform, ensuring a perfect fit that maintains aerodynamic efficiency and doesn't interfere with suspension travel, electronics, or any other component of your ready to run RC truck.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Mini Slash 4X4 ProGraphix Body represents the company's commitment to providing replacement bodywork that meets the exacting standards required for competitive RC racing and serious hobbyist use. Constructed from quality polycarbonate, this material choice reflects decades of Traxxas engineering expertise – it's tough enough to handle multiple crashes and landings without cracking, yet light enough that it doesn't negatively impact the performance characteristics of your Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4. The body's aerodynamic profile is specifically optimised for the short course truck racing format, with proportions that enhance stability at high speeds whilst maintaining the visual appeal that makes these vehicles so popular across the UK RC community. The pre-painted ProGraphix detailing means that even when left in its natural polycarbonate colour, the body displays impressive depth and dimension, though the true potential is unlocked when you apply your chosen custom paint scheme using Traxxas ProGraphix paint products, which are specifically formulated to adhere perfectly to polycarbonate bodies and maintain their brilliant finish through countless hours of use. The clipless mounting system is engineered for absolute reliability – bodies secure firmly in place during competition or casual driving, eliminating any rattle or movement, yet release instantly when you need to swap bodies or perform maintenance. The pre-applied overspray film is a thoughtful inclusion that demonstrates Traxxas's understanding of the painting process, protecting your factory detail work during spray application and ensuring that your finished paint job looks truly professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this ProGraphix body fit my Mini Slash 4X4? — Yes, this body is engineered specifically for the Traxxas Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 short course truck platform and comes with all necessary mounting hardware. It is compatible with the yellow, orange, pink, and green colour variants of the Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 RTR, making it a perfect upgrade for any of these models available in the UK RC market.
- Is the body pre-painted or does it need painting? — The body is part-painted with ProGraphix pre-painted detail work already applied. It arrives fully trimmed and ready to paint, meaning you can begin your custom colour application immediately. The pre-applied graphics provide a professional foundation that shows through when you apply your chosen paint colour, creating a stunning finished appearance that looks far more professional than a plain polycarbonate shell.
- What paint should I use on this polycarbonate body? — For best results, Traxxas recommends using Traxxas ProGraphix paint, which is specifically formulated to adhere properly to polycarbonate bodywork and provides excellent colour saturation and durability. These paints are designed to work seamlessly with the ProGraphix pre-painted detail system, ensuring that your custom paint job maintains its brilliant finish through extended use.
- How do I install this body on my Mini Slash? — The body features clipless body latches with all necessary hardware included. Installation is tool-free and takes only seconds – simply position the body over the chassis, align the latches with the mounting points, and press firmly until you hear the characteristic click indicating secure engagement. Removal is equally simple; just press the release points and lift away the body.
- What makes the ProGraphix system different from standard bodies? — The ProGraphix system combines factory pre-painted detail work with a professional overspray film that protects this detail during your painting process. This means that even if painting RC bodies is new to you, you'll achieve a factory-quality finish with professional-looking graphics that would be difficult to replicate by hand. The pre-painted graphics show through your custom paint colour, creating depth and dimension that distinguishes your truck from others on the track.
- Is this body suitable for high-speed racing? — Absolutely. The polycarbonate construction and aerodynamic profile are engineered specifically for competitive short course truck racing. The body is durable enough for impact resistance whilst remaining light enough that it doesn't compromise the performance of your Mini Slash's brushless powertrain and suspension system.
- Can I use this body with other RC truck models? — No, this body is designed specifically for the Traxxas Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 platform. Using it with other vehicles would result in incorrect fitment and potential interference with suspension or electronics. It is compatible exclusively with the Mini Slash 4X4 in yellow, orange, pink, and green colour variants.
- What is included in the decal sheet? — The comprehensive decal sheet features authentic Traxxas graphics and design elements that complement the ProGraphix pre-painted detail work. You can apply these decals as-supplied for a factory appearance, or customise them according to your preferences by carefully trimming and positioning individual elements to create your unique design.
