Key Features

• Clipless Mounting System — The body features integrated front and rear clipless latches that allow you to mount and remove the body without any tools whatsoever, making maintenance and customisation incredibly quick and convenient for UK RC enthusiasts.
• Pre-Painted Professional Finish — The Rock n' Roll design is finished in Traxxas's proprietary ProGraphix paint, delivering a vibrant, durable finish that looks professional and maintains its appearance through regular use and outdoor conditions.
• Pre-Applied Decals — Rather than requiring you to carefully apply decals yourself, this body comes with all graphics and logos already professionally applied, ensuring perfect alignment and a show-quality appearance immediately.
• No Trimming Required — Unlike many aftermarket body shells, this Traxxas unit requires absolutely no cutting, trimming, or preparation before installation, saving you time and effort and reducing the risk of damage during assembly.
• Universal Slash Compatibility — This body fits not only the Slash 4X4 but also works with the Slash VXL and Slash 2WD variants, making it an exceptionally versatile upgrade option for Traxxas Slash owners with different drivetrain configurations.
• Durable Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from tough polycarbonate material, which provides excellent impact resistance and durability whilst remaining lightweight, ensuring your RC truck maintains optimal performance.
• Complete Assembly — The body arrives fully assembled with all necessary mounting hardware included, so there's absolutely nothing additional to purchase or install before you can enjoy your upgraded appearance.

Technical Performance

This body shell is engineered to work seamlessly with the Traxxas Slash 4X4 platform and its variants. The polycarbonate construction provides the perfect balance between durability and weight, ensuring that adding this body to your RC truck won't negatively impact acceleration, top speed, or handling characteristics. The clipless latch system has been engineered to provide a secure, rattle-free fit that keeps the body firmly attached during aggressive bashing and competitive racing alike. The pre-painted ProGraphix finish is formulated to resist UV fading and minor abrasions from typical RC use, maintaining its vibrant Rock n' Roll appearance season after season. The pre-applied decals are bonded using automotive-grade adhesive, ensuring they won't peel or lift during normal operation. This is a genuine Traxxas accessory part, manufactured to the same exacting standards as the complete Slash vehicles themselves, guaranteeing perfect fitment and long-term reliability. The body's aerodynamic design is optimised for the short course truck category, providing stable airflow characteristics whether you're running on dirt, grass, or tarmac surfaces typical of UK RC racing venues.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this body fit my specific Slash model? — Yes, this body is designed to fit the Slash 4X4, Slash VXL, and Slash 2WD models. However, if you own an older Slash chassis that predates the clipless mounting system, you'll need to purchase additional mounting adapters (part 6940 for 2WD models, or parts 6976 and 10125 for 4X4 models) to make it compatible. Modern Slash vehicles come standard with clipless mounts, so most users will experience perfect fitment immediately.
• Do I need to paint or prepare this body before use? — No, absolutely not. This is one of the key advantages of choosing Traxxas pre-painted bodies. It arrives completely finished with professional ProGraphix paint and all decals already applied, meaning you can unpack it and mount it onto your chassis within minutes. There's no painting, trimming, or decal application required, making it perfect for busy RC enthusiasts who want results without the time investment.
• How long does it take to install this body on my Slash? — Installation is extremely quick thanks to the clipless mounting system. Most users report being able to remove their old body and install this new one in under five minutes without using any tools whatsoever. This makes it incredibly convenient for swapping between different body styles or performing maintenance on your chassis.
• Is this body durable for bashing and racing? — Absolutely. The polycarbonate construction is specifically engineered to withstand the impacts and stresses of both recreational bashing and competitive racing. The material provides excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight, ensuring it won't weigh down your Slash or impact performance. The pre-painted finish is formulated to resist UV fading and minor scuffing, maintaining its appearance through extended use.
• What makes the clipless mounting system better than traditional bodies? — Clipless mounting eliminates the need for body clips, which can be fiddly to install and remove, and which can occasionally vibrate loose during aggressive driving. The integrated latch system provides a secure, tool-free connection that won't come loose, yet still allows tool-free removal whenever you need to access your chassis for maintenance or battery changes.
• Can I use this body on a 2WD Slash even though it's designed for the 4X4? — Yes, this is one of the standout features of this particular body. Despite being designed primarily for the Slash 4X4, it also fits both the Slash VXL and Slash 2WD models, making it an exceptionally versatile option for multi-model Slash owners.
• What is the Rock n' Roll paint design like? — The Rock n' Roll design features Traxxas's premium ProGraphix paint technology, which delivers vibrant colours and striking graphics that really make your Slash stand out. The exact design includes professional pre-applied decals that complement the paint scheme perfectly, creating a coordinated, show-quality appearance that looks far more professional than basic solid colour alternatives.
