Key Features

• Clipless Polycarbonate Design — The body features integrated clipless latches at the front and rear, allowing for quick and secure mounting without the need for traditional body clips that can be fiddly and time-consuming to install and remove. This modern design means faster body changes and more time enjoying your RC experience.
• Factory ProGraphix® Paint Finish — Rather than arriving as bare plastic requiring painting, this body comes with professional-grade ProGraphix® paint applied in an attractive red colour, giving it an authentic factory appearance that matches OEM Traxxas standards.
• Pre-Applied Decals — The graphics and decals are already installed at the factory, eliminating the tedious task of decal application and alignment that many RC hobbyists find frustrating. You receive a complete, finished look ready for display and driving.
• Ready to Mount Out of the Box — There is no trimming, sanding, or finishing work required; the body arrives fully prepared for installation, making it ideal for busy enthusiasts who want immediate gratification and minimal setup time.
• Slash VXL Compatibility — Engineered specifically for the Slash VXL chassis, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment with your existing brushless RC truck platform.
• Durable Polycarbonate Construction — The polycarbonate material provides excellent impact resistance and flexibility, protecting your chassis from minor bumps and crashes whilst remaining lightweight for optimal performance.

Technical Performance

This Traxxas body represents the manufacturer's commitment to quality construction and user convenience. The polycarbonate shell is engineered to withstand the rigours of both on-track racing and outdoor bashing, providing reliable protection for the chassis and components beneath. The clipless mounting system represents a significant advancement over traditional clip-based designs, streamlining the process of body installation and removal—a feature particularly valued by racers who need to swap bodies quickly between different setups or after damage. The pre-applied ProGraphix® paint delivers a factory-finish appearance that would normally require professional painting equipment and considerable skill to achieve at home. Traxxas's attention to detail ensures that every body leaves the factory ready for immediate use, with perfectly aligned graphics and flawless colour coverage. The red finish selected for this model is vibrant and durable, resisting fading from UV exposure and maintaining its appearance through extended outdoor use. The design accommodates the Slash VXL's performance characteristics, ensuring that aerodynamics and weight distribution remain optimised for high-speed running and aggressive cornering.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this body compatible with all Slash models? — This body is specifically designed for the Slash VXL and features modern clipless mounting. Older Slash 2WD models will require the addition of part 6940, whilst older Slash 4X4 models will need parts 6976 and 10125 to accommodate the clipless latches. Modern Slash VXL chassis with integrated clipless mounts will accept this body without any additional parts.
• Do I need to paint this body myself? — No. The body comes pre-painted with professional ProGraphix® paint and pre-applied decals, so it's ready to mount straight from the box. There is no painting, sanding, or decal application required, making it perfect for enthusiasts who want a finished product immediately.
• What is the benefit of clipless mounting over traditional clips? — Clipless mounting systems offer faster body changes, more secure fitment, and a cleaner overall appearance without the visual clutter of external clips. For racing or frequent bashing sessions where body changes are common, clipless design significantly improves convenience and user experience.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this body is excellent for beginners because it eliminates the complex painting and decal work that discourages new hobbyists. Simply mount it to your existing Slash chassis and you'll have a professional-looking RC car ready to drive. The straightforward installation makes it beginner-friendly whilst the quality finish appeals to experienced racers.
• What is the difference between this and unpainted Traxxas bodies? — Unpainted bodies arrive as bare polycarbonate requiring you to apply paint and decals yourself—a skilled task that takes considerable time and specialist equipment. This pre-painted and decal-equipped version saves hours of work and delivers a factory-quality finish guaranteed to match Traxxas standards.
• Will this body fit my older Slash that doesn't have clipless mounts? — Older Slash models can still use this body, but you'll need to purchase additional mounting hardware.
