Traxxas Slash Modified 1/10 RC Body Clear Polycarbonate Trimmed TRX10411

Overview

The Traxxas Body, Slash Modified (Clear, trimmed, requires painting) with decal sheets is the perfect choice for RC enthusiasts across the UK who want to create a truly personalised custom RC car. Whether you're a seasoned basher, a weekend racer, or discovering the world of RC hobby for the first time, this clear polycarbonate body shell offers a blank canvas for your creativity. The Slash Modified is one of the most popular 1/10 scale RC short course truck bodies available, and choosing a clear unpainted version means you have complete control over the final appearance of your vehicle.

This is not a pre-painted body — it arrives fully trimmed and ready for painting, which is actually one of its greatest strengths. By painting the body yourself using Traxxas ProGraphix paints, you'll achieve professional-grade results that are simply impossible to get with regular household spray paints. The clear polycarbonate construction means your custom paint job will be protected from scuffs and scratches during use, and the glossy outer surface will make your chosen colours pop with vibrant intensity. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK looking for a quality body shell that delivers genuine customisation options, this is an excellent investment.

The body comes complete with decal sheets, allowing you to add the final personal touches to your design once painting is complete. Everything is included to get you started — you just need to supply the paints and a few simple painting supplies. This approach gives you far more control than buying a pre-painted body, and the satisfaction of seeing your own custom design come to life on your Slash Modified is genuinely rewarding.

Key Features

• Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from high-quality clear polycarbonate material, which is essential for accepting specialist RC paints and provides superior durability compared to painted bodies. This material is lightweight yet tough enough to withstand the impacts and abuse that comes with regular RC bashing and racing.
• Fully Trimmed and Ready to Paint — This body arrives completely trimmed with all excess polycarbonate removed, meaning there's no tedious cutting or finishing work required before you can start painting. This saves valuable time and ensures clean, professional edges on windows and body lines.
• Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes — The body features pre-drilled holes specifically positioned for easy mounting on your Slash Modified chassis, ensuring perfect alignment and secure attachment without additional drilling or modification required.
• Protective Overspray Film Applied — A clear protective film is already applied to the exterior surface of the body, protecting it during the painting process. This film is easily removed after painting is complete, revealing a perfectly smooth, glossy finish with no dust or debris trapped underneath.
• Included Decal Sheets — The package includes factory decal sheets that allow you to add professional-looking graphics and sponsors to your completed body, giving your RC short course truck that finished, polished appearance once painting is done.
• Compatible with Body Supports and Reinforcements — The body is designed to work seamlessly with optional Traxxas body supports and reinforcements (sold separately), allowing you to customise the mounting and structural characteristics to suit your specific needs and driving style.
• Window Masking Included — Window masking is provided in the package, which can be used during the painting process to keep window areas clear, or can be left off entirely if you prefer a custom painted window design.
• Traxxas ProGraphix Paint Compatibility — This body is specifically designed to work with Traxxas ProGraphix paints, which are specially formulated to adhere perfectly to polycarbonate and deliver professional-grade, airbrush-like results with the convenience of aerosol cans. Regular spray paints will not stick properly to polycarbonate, so using the correct paint is essential.
• 1/10 Scale Slash Modified Design — Engineered specifically for the Traxxas Slash Modified 1/10 scale short course truck platform, this body fits perfectly and maintains the aerodynamic design that makes the Slash one of the most recognisable RC vehicles in the world.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Body, Slash Modified is manufactured from premium-grade clear polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for RC body shells because of its combination of light weight, impact resistance, and compatibility with specialist polycarbonate paints. Unlike standard plastic bodies, polycarbonate allows paint to adhere properly when using Traxxas ProGraphix products, and the clear nature means your custom paint job will be visible from both inside and outside, maximising the visual impact of your design work. The fully trimmed construction means all the engineering and preparation work has already been completed at the factory — windows are cut, door lines are defined, and all mounting holes are pre-drilled to precise tolerances. The body is designed to fit the 1/10 scale Slash Modified short course truck platform, a vehicle class known for high-speed running on varied terrain, so durability under stress has been engineered into the design. The protective overspray film keeps the body clean during the painting process and is easily peeled away once your custom paint job is complete, revealing a flawless glossy finish. For serious hobbyists and RC enthusiasts across the UK seeking a quality body shell with genuine customisation potential, this represents a significant upgrade over pre-painted options, offering both better value and superior personalisation opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use regular spray paint on this clear RC body? — No, absolutely not. Regular household spray paints will not adhere properly to polycarbonate and will chip, peel and fail under the stress of RC driving. You must use Traxxas ProGraphix paint, which is specifically formulated with chemistry designed to bond with polycarbonate surfaces and deliver the durability needed for RC use.
• Why is this body unpainted when I can buy pre-painted versions? — An unpainted body gives you complete creative control over the final design and colour scheme, allowing you to create something truly unique that matches your personal style. Additionally, painting the body yourself using Traxxas ProGraphix paints will actually deliver better results than most pre-painted options, with professional-grade finish quality. Many RC enthusiasts actually prefer unpainted bodies for this reason.
• Is painting an RC body difficult for beginners? — Not at all. Painting a clear RC body is actually one of the most beginner-friendly customisation projects in the hobby. The process is straightforward: clean the inside with isopropyl alcohol, shake the paint can for two minutes, test spray on cardboard to get familiar with the spray pattern, then apply overlapping strokes inside the body until fully covered. A second coat after five minutes of drying typically completes the job. Traxxas ProGraphix paints are specifically formulated to make this process easy, with optimised can pressure and spray patterns that deliver professional results even for first-timers.
• What is the difference between painting one colour versus multiple colours? — Single-colour paint jobs are straightforward and perfect for beginners. For multi-colour designs, you should spray dark colours first, then progress to lighter colours, which prevents darker paint from showing through lighter colours. You can use optional masking tape to create precise colour separations, or you can simply vary your spray angle and technique to achieve custom designs. Alternatively, you could choose a ProGraphix body with pre-printed graphics and only paint the clear areas, which requires no masking at all.
• What does the protective overspray film do? — The overspray film is a clear protective layer that's pre-applied to the outside of the body. During the painting process, overspray and minor imperfections will adhere to this film rather than directly to your body. Once painting is fully dried and complete, you simply peel away the film, revealing a perfectly smooth, glossy surface underneath with no dust or debris trapped in the paint. This is one of the most satisfying parts of the painting process.
• How long does the paint need to dry between coats? — Allow at least five minutes of drying time between the first and second colour coats. After applying all colour coats, if you're adding a backing coat of white or silver paint, allow the colour to fully dry before applying the backing coat.
• What is a backing coat and do I need one? — A backing coat is an additional layer of white or silver paint applied after your main colour coats have dried. White backing maximises brightness and opacity, particularly for light colours and fluorescent colours, ensuring they achieve full vibrancy. Silver backing works well with metallic colours, bringing out the flake effect and creating a darker but more metallic appearance. Whether you use a backing coat is optional and depends on the specific colours you've chosen and the final appearance you're aiming for.
• Are body supports and reinforcements included? — Body supports and reinforcements are not included with this body shell — they are sold separately as optional accessories. However, the body is designed to work seamlessly with these components if you choose to add them later for enhanced mounting options.
• What Traxxas models is this body compatible with? — This body is specifically designed for the Traxxas Slash Modified 1/10 scale short course truck platform. It will not fit other Traxxas models without significant modification.
• Does this body come with any paints? — No, paints are not included. You need to purchase Traxxas ProGraphix paint separately in whatever colours you choose. ProGraphix paints are available in a wide range of colours and are the only paints suitable for this polycarbonate body.
