Frequently Asked Questions

• Does this body shell require any painting or does it come ready to use? — This is a clear polycarbonate body shell that requires painting before use. It comes unpainted with pre-applied overspray film for protection during the painting process. Traxxas ProGraphix paint is recommended for the best results and optimal colour durability. The clear shell allows complete creative freedom in selecting colours and custom graphics for your specific build.
• What TRX-4 chassis models is this body compatible with? — This Nissan Pathfinder body is designed specifically for TRX-4 platforms with a 312mm wheelbase. It provides perfect fitment and alignment without requiring any chassis modifications. Verify your TRX-4 model has the correct 312mm wheelbase before purchasing.
• Are the #8080X inner fenders included with this body kit? — No, the #8080X inner fenders are sold separately and are required for proper fitment and functionality. You'll need to purchase these fenders in addition to the body shell to complete your setup. These fenders ensure proper clearance and structural integrity.
• Is this suitable for beginners to RC hobby? — This body shell is ideal for beginners with existing TRX-4 chassis experience, though painting does require some skill and practice. If you're new to painting RC bodies, Traxxas recommends using their ProGraphix paint system, which is specifically formulated for polycarbonate bodies and offers user-friendly application. Consider practicing on spare bodies or consulting painting guides before your final build.
• What makes the clipless mounting system better than traditional body clips? — The clipless mounting system simplifies body installation and removal by eliminating the need for separate clips, which saves time during maintenance and battery changes. This system also reduces overall weight slightly and maintains a cleaner, more scale-accurate appearance without visible clip hardware disrupting the bodywork's visual authenticity.
• Can I use this body on other RC platforms besides the TRX-4? — This body is engineered specifically for the TRX-4 platform with its 312mm wheelbase and mounting points. Using it on other RC platforms would require significant modifications and may compromise fitment, appearance, and vehicle performance. For compatibility with other platforms, you would need to verify mounting compatibility with the manufacturer.
• What paint system works best with this clear polycarbonate body? — Traxxas ProGraphix paint is specifically formulated for polycarbonate RC bodies and is highly recommended for optimal colour adhesion, durability, and finish quality. Other compatible polycarbonate paints from reputable RC suppliers can also be used, but always ensure the paint is explicitly designed for polycarbonate rather than general-purpose hobby paints.
• How long does the painting process typically take? — Painting time varies depending on your chosen method (brush, spray bottle, or airbrush), the number of colour coats applied, and drying times between coats. Most builders allow 1-2 hours for application plus several hours or overnight for complete drying. Factor in additional time for decal application and clear coat protection after the base colours are dry.
