• Complete Component Package — The body includes all essential accessories: front grille, side mirrors, headlights, tail lights, and foam pads, giving you everything needed for a finished appearance without purchasing additional parts.
• Premium Polycarbonate Construction — Built from durable polycarbonate material, this body offers excellent impact resistance and flexibility whilst maintaining the detailed aesthetic lines of the classic hot rod design.
• Factory Five Licensed Design — This is an officially licensed collaboration with Factory Five Racing, ensuring authentic proportions and styling that captures the essence of real-world hot rod engineering.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Factory Five '35 Hot Rod Truck body represents the pinnacle of RC bodyshell engineering and manufacturing quality. Constructed from premium polycarbonate, this material delivers the perfect balance between durability and lightweight design — essential characteristics for high-performance on-road RC driving. The polycarbonate construction allows the body to flex and absorb impacts without cracking, whilst maintaining structural rigidity during aggressive cornering and acceleration. The pre-painted ProGraphix finish is applied using professional-grade methods that ensure excellent colour accuracy, UV resistance, and durability through countless hours of racing and bashing. The graphite colour option provides a sophisticated, modern aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with various chassis colours and wheel designs. At 1/10 scale, this body is optimised for on-road use, meaning it features aerodynamic styling that reduces lift at speed and maintains stability during high-velocity runs. The included foam pads serve an important functional purpose beyond aesthetics — they isolate the body from direct contact with the chassis, reducing transmission of vibration and protecting paint and decals from wear. The integrated front grille, side mirrors, headlights, and tail lights are all pre-installed, providing a complete, finished appearance that requires no additional work. This is a true ready-to-run RC body solution that combines form and function in equal measure.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this a complete body kit or just a shell? — This is a complete body package, not just a simple shell. It includes the polycarbonate bodyshell, front grille, side mirrors, headlights, tail lights, foam pads, and pre-applied decals. Traxxas delivers this fully assembled, trimmed, and ready to mount directly onto your compatible chassis.
• What chassis is this body compatible with? — The Factory Five '35 Hot Rod Truck body is designed for the Traxxas 4-Tec platform and compatible 1/10 scale on-road chassis. You'll need to verify compatibility with your specific chassis before purchase.
• Do I need to paint this body myself? — No, this body arrives fully painted with the professional ProGraphix paint system and pre-applied decals, so you can mount it directly onto your chassis without any painting or customisation work.
• What colour options are available? — This particular model is available in Graphite, a sophisticated grey tone that provides a modern, sleek appearance. Traxxas may offer additional colour options for this body design.
• How fragile is the polycarbonate construction? — Polycarbonate is actually quite durable and impact-resistant. It's specifically chosen for RC bodies because it can flex and absorb minor crashes without cracking, whilst remaining lightweight. However, like all polycarbonate bodies, excessive force or sharp impacts can cause cracks.
• Can I modify or customize this body? — Yes, many RC enthusiasts customise polycarbonate bodies by painting additional details, applying vinyl wraps, or making aerodynamic modifications. However, the pre-painted finish is factory-quality, so most drivers will want to preserve it as delivered.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a body component rather than a complete RC vehicle, so it's designed for builders with some RC experience who already have a compatible chassis. If you're entirely new to RC cars, you'll want to start with a ready-to-run complete kit rather than individual body components.
• What's the difference between this Factory Five design and other Traxxas bodies? — The Factory Five '35 Hot Rod is specifically licensed from Factory Five Racing and captures authentic hot rod styling from a real-world manufacturer. It offers a more detailed, scale-accurate design with integrated headlights, tail lights, grille, and mirrors compared to basic bodyshells, making it ideal for scale-conscious builders and collectors.
• Will the paint fade or peel during use? — The ProGraphix paint system is designed for durability and UV resistance. With normal use and care, the finish should remain vibrant throughout the life of the body. However, exposure to extreme sunlight, harsh chemicals, or repeated crashes will eventually show wear, as with any painted RC component.
• Are replacement parts available if I damage the body? — As an official Traxxas product, replacement bodies and individual components are typically available through authorised retailers like RC Model Shop. Contact us for availability of specific replacement parts.
