RC car enthusiasts in the UK will appreciate how this product removes the intimidation factor from custom body painting. Unlike traditional fully clear bodies that require painting the entire shell, the ProGraphix approach handles the complex graphics work for you, leaving only the main body colour for you to apply. Combined with the included Traxxas ProGraphix paint system, you can achieve showroom-quality results in just a few sprays.

Key Features

• Pre-Painted Detailed Graphics — The bodyshell arrives with fully painted, intricate graphics already applied to the polycarbonate construction, which means the complex design work is already done for you and you only need to spray the main body colour of your choice, saving time and reducing the risk of mistakes that can occur when painting an entirely blank shell.
• Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material with strategic sections left clear, allowing your chosen main body colour to show through the transparent areas whilst the pre-painted graphics remain protected and visible, creating a professional two-tone appearance without requiring advanced masking techniques.
• Fully Trimmed and Ready to Paint — This bodyshell comes completely pre-trimmed, meaning all the cutting work has been done at the factory and you can proceed directly to painting without needing a sharp blade or cutting tools, making the process faster and safer for users of all experience levels.
• Complete Hardware and Assembly Kit — The ProGraphix body includes everything needed for installation, including clipless body latches with all necessary hardware, a body cage with integrated cooling vents, decal sheets for additional customisation, window masking templates, and pre-applied overspray film to protect areas you don't want to paint.
• Integrated Body Cage with Cooling Vents — The included body cage features integrated cooling vents that help dissipate heat generated during high-performance running, which improves the longevity of your electronic components and allows for sustained high-speed operation without thermal throttling.
• Clipless Body Latches — The innovative clipless latching system means you can remove and reinstall the body quickly without fumbling with traditional body clips, which is especially useful when you need to access your chassis for maintenance or adjustments during racing or bashing sessions.
• Pre-Applied Overspray Film — Factory-applied protective film covers areas that shouldn't be painted, such as window edges and internal mounting points, eliminating the need for careful hand-masking and ensuring a professional finish every time.
• Window Masking Included — Ready-to-use window masks are provided, allowing you to paint around the windows cleanly without overspray, which is particularly important for maintaining the clear visibility through your Mini XRT's windows.
• Decal Sheets for Further Customisation — Additional decal sheets are supplied, giving you the option to apply extra graphics, sponsor logos, racing numbers, or team colours to truly make your Mini XRT uniquely yours.
• Compatible with Multiple Mini XRT Variants — This bodyshell is designed to fit all versions of the Traxxas Mini XRT VXL-3S, including the Blue, Red, Green, and Orange chassis variants, making it a universally compatible upgrade for Mini XRT owners across the UK.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Mini XRT ProGraphix Body is engineered from premium polycarbonate material, a lightweight yet robust plastic compound commonly used in high-performance RC vehicles throughout the UK and worldwide. Polycarbonate offers an excellent balance of durability and weight, crucial for maintaining the Mini XRT's agility and responsiveness across all terrain types. The body's construction methodology—combining pre-painted detailed sections with clear polycarbonate areas—represents a sophisticated manufacturing approach that reduces user error whilst maintaining professional aesthetics. The integrated body cage with cooling vents is a critical engineering feature that helps manage the thermal output from the Mini XRT's brushless motor and electronic speed controller during extended running sessions. The clipless body latches represent modern RC engineering philosophy, removing the frustration of traditional clip-based systems whilst maintaining secure retention even during high-speed cornering and jumps. The pre-applied overspray film demonstrates meticulous attention to detail, protecting critical areas from accidental paint coverage. This bodyshell is optimised for the Traxxas Mini XRT VXL-3S platform, which features a 3S LiPo-compatible brushless drivetrain capable of delivering impressive acceleration and top speed. The clear polycarbonate sections allow the underlying chassis and mechanical components to be visible, which is both aesthetically pleasing and functional for monitoring component condition during operation. For best results, Traxxas recommends using their dedicated ProGraphix paint system, which has been specifically formulated to adhere properly to polycarbonate and cure to a durable, flexible finish that won't crack or peel during the dynamic stresses of RC vehicle operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between ProGraphix and traditional RC body shells? — Traditional clear RC body shells require you to paint the entire shell from scratch, which demands masking skills and can be time-consuming. The ProGraphix system arrives with detailed graphics already professionally painted on the shell, leaving only the main body colour for you to apply, making the process significantly faster and reducing the complexity of achieving professional results. This approach eliminates the need to paint fine detail work yourself, which is particularly valuable if you're new to RC customisation.
• Is this body suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The Traxxas Mini XRT ProGraphix body is specifically designed for users of all experience levels, including complete beginners. The pre-painted graphics and included masking templates remove much of the technical difficulty associated with custom body painting. All you need to do is apply your chosen main body colour using Traxxas ProGraphix paint, which has been formulated to work reliably on polycarbonate. The fully trimmed shell means no cutting is required, and the complete hardware kit takes the guesswork out of assembly.
• Will this body fit my Mini XRT? — This body shell is specifically designed for the Traxxas Mini XRT VXL-3S platform and is compatible with all colour variants of this model, including Blue, Red, Green, and Orange versions. If you own a different Traxxas model or an earlier Mini XRT variant without the VXL-3S designation, you should verify compatibility before purchasing, as RC body shells are designed with precise fitment for specific chassis platforms.
• What paint should I use with this body? — Traxxas specifically recommends using Traxxas ProGraphix paint for best results. This paint has been formulated to adhere properly to polycarbonate construction and cure to a flexible, durable finish that won't crack or peel during the stresses of high-performance RC driving. Using dedicated RC polycarbonate paint ensures the best combination of durability, colour depth, and longevity compared to generic spray paints.
• Can I paint this body with standard spray paint? — Whilst it is technically possible to use standard automotive or craft spray paint on polycarbonate, professional RC paint like Traxxas ProGraphix is specifically formulated to bond properly to polycarbonate and cure to the correct flexibility. Standard paints may peel, crack, or flake during the dynamic movement and flexing that occurs during RC operation. For optimal results and durability, dedicated RC polycarbonate paint is strongly recommended.
• What makes the integrated cooling vents important? — The body cage's integrated cooling vents allow heat generated by the brushless motor and electronic speed controller to dissipate into the surrounding air, preventing thermal buildup that could damage components or trigger thermal throttling (where the ESC reduces power to protect itself). This ventilation design enables sustained high-speed running and extended bash sessions without performance degradation or component stress.
• How do the clipless body latches work? — Rather than using traditional plastic clips that mount on the body and engage with the chassis, the clipless latching system uses an integrated mechanism that allows the body to snap on and off quickly without separate clips. This design reduces the number of parts, speeds up body removal for maintenance or chassis access, and eliminates the frustration of lost or damaged body clips.
• Is window masking difficult to apply? — No, the included window masking templates are pre-shaped to fit your Mini XRT's windows perfectly and are designed for simple application. They prevent overspray from reaching the windows and underlying clear plastic, which would cloud the transparency and reduce visibility. Simply apply them before painting and remove them after the paint has dried for clean window areas.
• What is the pre-applied overspray film for? — The factory-applied overspray film protects sensitive areas of the body—such as mounting points, internal edges, and assembly areas—from accidental paint coverage during the spray process. This eliminates the need for tedious hand-masking and ensures a professional finish by preventing paint from pooling in areas where it could create rough spots or interfere with body fitment.
• Can I use this body with a different Mini XRT variant? — No, body shells are engineered with precise fitment for specific chassis models. This shell is designed exclusively for the Traxxas Mini XRT VXL-3S. Using it on a different Mini XRT variant (if one exists) could result in poor fitment, clearance issues, or incorrect latching. Always verify your chassis model number before purchasing replacement bodywork.
• How long does the painting process take? — Once you have your chosen Traxxas ProGraphix paint ready, the actual painting time depends on your technique and spray equipment. Most users can complete a professional-looking main colour coat in 20-30 minutes of active spraying time, plus drying time between coats (typically 15-30 minutes per coat depending on environmental conditions and paint thickness). Multiple thin coats are recommended for the best results rather than one thick coat.
• What colour options are available for the main body? — Traxxas ProGraphix paint is available in a wide range of colours, allowing you complete freedom to choose any colour you prefer for your main body. Your local RC Model Shop or authorised Traxxas retailer can advise on currently available ProGraphix colours and may be able to help you find specific shades to match your preferences or team colours.
