TRX3721X

Overview

The Traxxas Rustler ProGraphix Body (TRX3721X) is the perfect choice for RC enthusiasts across the UK who want to personalise their 1/10 scale Rustler or Rustler VXL with a custom colour scheme. This innovative polycarbonate body shell combines pre-printed professional graphics with a clear finish on the main body panels, giving you complete creative freedom to apply your own chosen colour. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK hobbyist or just getting started with ready to run RC vehicles, this body allows you to transform your truck's appearance whilst maintaining Traxxas's legendary build quality and durability.

The ProGraphix system is designed to make custom body painting accessible to everyone. The detailed graphics are fully painted and printed onto the polycarbonate shell, eliminating the guesswork of hand-painting intricate designs. The remainder of the body is crystal clear, waiting for your chosen Traxxas ProGraphix paint colour to bring your vision to life. This means you get instant, professional results without specialist airbrushing skills or expensive equipment—just grab a can of Traxxas ProGraphix paint and spray the final colour directly onto the body. The system is engineered for simplicity and success, making it ideal for bashers, weekend warriors, and competitive racers alike who want a unique, factory-quality finish.

Built specifically for the 1/10 scale Rustler and Rustler VXL stadium truck platform, this body shell is completely pre-trimmed for hassle-free installation. The protective overspray film applied during manufacturing keeps the printed graphics safe until you're ready to paint, and a full decal sheet is included in the kit to add the finishing touches once your colour application is complete. This is genuine Traxxas engineering—precision-engineered, tested for durability, and backed by the reliability that has made Traxxas the fastest name in RC.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Rustler ProGraphix Body is engineered from durable polycarbonate material that combines flexibility with impact resistance, essential qualities for a 1/10 scale stadium truck body that will endure high-speed bashing, jumps, and aggressive cornering. The polycarbonate construction ensures the body can absorb impacts without cracking or shattering, whilst remaining lightweight to maintain the Rustler's excellent power-to-weight ratio and performance characteristics. The pre-printed graphics are applied using professional printing technology directly onto the polycarbonate shell, creating a permanent, fade-resistant finish that won't peel or chip under normal use. The clear sections of the body showcase these printed graphics beautifully whilst providing the canvas for your custom colour application. When combined with Traxxas ProGraphix paint—formulated specifically for polycarbonate surfaces—the result is a body that looks as though it came directly from Traxxas's factory, with protected graphics underneath and a vibrant, durable colour on top. The protective overspray film applied during manufacturing protects the graphics during your painting process and can be removed once the paint has fully cured. This body is designed to work seamlessly with the Rustler's proven chassis architecture, contributing to the truck's capability to deliver impressive performance across a wide range of driving conditions and surfaces, from smooth pavement to rough terrain. The complete trimming means installation takes minutes, and the body is ready to perform immediately once mounted onto the Rustler or Rustler VXL platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use this body on both the standard Rustler and Rustler VXL? — Yes, this body is specifically engineered to fit both the standard 2WD Rustler and the more powerful Rustler VXL without any modifications required. The fitment is identical across both models, making this an excellent choice if you're considering upgrading your Rustler XL-5 to brushless power with a Velineon system in the future.
• Do I need special painting equipment to finish this body? — No. The ProGraphix system is designed for simplicity—you can use a standard aerosol spray can of Traxxas ProGraphix paint to apply colour to the clear sections. This makes it accessible for hobbyists without access to professional airbrushing equipment or compressors, meaning you can achieve factory-quality results at home.
• What makes ProGraphix different from a fully painted body? — ProGraphix bodies arrive with the detailed graphics already professionally printed and painted onto the shell, whilst the main body colour panels remain clear. This means you only need to apply one colour coat to the transparent sections rather than painting an entire body from scratch, saving time and ensuring the graphics remain perfectly aligned and protected.
• Is the protective overspray film permanent? — No, the protective overspray film is temporary and applied during manufacturing to keep the printed graphics safe during shipping and storage. Once your paint has fully cured, you simply peel off this film to reveal the finished body with protected graphics underneath and your custom colour on top.
• Are decals included with this body? — Yes, a complete decal sheet is included in the box. These decals allow you to add final details and personalisation once your paint has dried, creating a truly custom, professional-looking finish.
• Is this suitable for competitive racing or just casual bashing? — This body is suitable for both. The polycarbonate construction provides excellent durability for aggressive bashing, whilst the professional graphics and customisable colour scheme also appeal to competitive racers who want a distinctive look on the track. The Rustler platform itself is proven in both casual and competitive environments, and this body maintains that versatility.
• How long does the paint take to cure? — Cure time depends on the specific Traxxas ProGraphix paint you choose and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Always consult the paint can instructions for recommended drying and curing times before handling or installing the body on your chassis.
• Will the printed graphics show through the clear sections? — Yes, that's the entire design of the ProGraphix system. The printed graphics are visible through the transparent polycarbonate sections, creating a layered effect where your custom colour sits on top of the pre-printed design, resulting in a unique, multi-dimensional appearance.
• What if I damage the body during painting or use? — Polycarbonate is impact-resistant and flexible, so it won't shatter if you crash. Minor scuffs and scratches can often be touched up with additional paint, and the entire body can be repainted if needed. For significant damage, replacement bodies are available from RC Model Shop.
• How does this body affect the Rustler's performance? — A body shell is purely cosmetic and does not affect performance metrics such as top speed, acceleration, handling, or drivetrain capability. The Rustler's performance characteristics remain unchanged—this upgrade is entirely about aesthetics and personalisation.
