This 1/10 scale clear polycarbonate bodyshell transforms your Slayer Pro 4X4 into a blank canvas, allowing you to express your creativity through custom paint schemes and designs. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor, a weekend basher, or someone discovering the world of brushless RC vehicles for the first time, this body shell offers the flexibility to make your truck truly one-of-a-kind.

From mild to wild, Traxxas clear bodies are renowned for their quality and ease of use.

This bodyshell comes fully-trimmed with pre-drilled body holes for easy mounting, meaning installation onto your Slayer Pro 4X4 chassis is straightforward and hassle-free.

This comprehensive kit includes everything you need to protect and personalise your body during the painting process. The window masking included in the package ensures clean, sharp paint lines around the windows, whilst the decal sheets provide additional design options if you prefer not to paint from scratch. It's the ideal solution for anyone running a ready to run RC short course truck and wanting to refresh the look or create a competition-grade custom finish.

Key Features

• Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, which is impact-resistant and flexible, protecting your chassis whilst remaining transparent until painted. This material is standard for high-quality RC bodies and ensures longevity through impacts and collisions typical of off-road RC driving.
• Fully-Trimmed with Pre-Drilled Holes — The body arrives completely trimmed and ready to fit, with all body mounting holes pre-drilled to exact specifications. This means you can mount it to your Slayer Pro 4X4 immediately without requiring additional cutting, drilling or modification, saving you time and effort.
• Protective Overspray Film — A protective film is already applied to the bodyshell to guard against scratches and dust contamination during storage and transport. This film is easily removed when you're ready to begin painting, ensuring your clear body arrives in perfect condition.
• Window Masking Included — Professional-grade window masking is supplied in the kit, allowing you to mask off the windows before painting. This ensures crisp, clean paint lines around the window areas and prevents paint seeping into unwanted areas, giving your finished body a truly professional appearance.
• Decal Sheets Included — The package comes with decal sheets providing design options and graphics you can apply after painting. These add visual interest and detail to your custom finish, or you can use them as inspiration for your own paint design. Decals are a quick way to add professional detail without additional painting expertise.
• 1/10 Scale Short Course Truck Body — This body is specifically designed and engineered for 1/10 scale short course truck platforms like the Slayer Pro 4X4. The fitment is precise, and the body lines are optimised for this class of vehicle, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and proper aerodynamic function during high-speed running.
• Compatible with Traxxas ProGraphix Paint — Traxxas ProGraphix paint is specifically formulated to work with clear polycarbonate bodies, providing excellent adhesion, colour vibrancy and durability. Using the recommended paint system ensures professional results and long-lasting colour that won't fade or chip under normal RC driving conditions.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Slayer Pro 4X4 clear bodyshell is engineered from premium polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for its balance of durability, clarity and impact resistance. At 1/10 scale, this body is dimensionally precise for the Slayer Pro 4X4 platform, ensuring perfect fitment over the chassis without interference with suspension components, wheels or drivetrain elements. The polycarbonate construction is lightweight, which means adding this body won't significantly impact your vehicle's weight distribution or performance characteristics—critical considerations when running a brushless RC short course truck at competitive speeds. The material's flexibility means it can absorb minor impacts during crashes without cracking, and its clarity allows you to see through to the chassis, which is useful for post-painting inspection and customisation. Pre-drilled mounting holes are positioned to align perfectly with the Slayer Pro 4X4's body posts, eliminating the need for additional drilling and reducing the risk of cracks or stress points. The protective overspray film applied during manufacturing protects the body from scratches and UV degradation before it reaches your hands. Once you've painted and decaled your body using Traxxas ProGraphix or equivalent polycarbonate-compatible paint systems, you'll have a finished product capable of withstanding the rigours of off-road RC driving, whether that's casual weekend bashing or competitive short course racing.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use this clear body on any RC short course truck, or only the Slayer Pro 4X4? — This bodyshell is specifically designed and engineered for the Traxxas Slayer Pro 4X4 platform. Whilst other 1/10 scale short course trucks may have similar overall dimensions, body posts and mounting points vary between manufacturers and models. Using this body on a different platform could result in poor fitment, misalignment or damage to both the body and chassis. For best results and guaranteed compatibility, use only on the Slayer Pro 4X4.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — The body itself is straightforward to mount, even for beginners, thanks to pre-drilled holes and easy-fit design. However, painting and customising a clear polycarbonate body does require some painting skill or equipment access. If you're new to RC and haven't painted a body before, you might consider starting with a pre-painted alternative, or alternatively invest in an airbrush and practise on this body. Many UK RC clubs offer painting services if you'd prefer professional results.
• What paint should I use on this clear polycarbonate body? — Traxxas ProGraphix paint is the manufacturer-recommended option, specifically formulated for polycarbonate bodies with excellent adhesion and durability. Other polycarbonate-compatible paints from RC specialists will also work. Avoid standard household or model paints, as these may not adhere properly or could crack and peel during driving. Always check product labels to confirm polycarbonate compatibility before purchase.
• How do I apply the window masking? — Window masking typically comes as pre-cut tape or film that you carefully position over the window area before painting. The masking prevents paint from seeping into or around the windows, creating clean, sharp paint lines. After painting and allowing sufficient drying time, you simply peel away the masking to reveal the finished windows. Take care during removal to avoid scratching fresh paint.
• What's the difference between this and a pre-painted body? — This clear body requires you to paint it yourself, giving you complete creative control over colour and design. A pre-painted body arrives ready to mount with no additional work required. Clear bodies are ideal for custom finishes, racing number additions, or creating a one-of-a-kind truck that reflects your personal style. Pre-painted bodies are quicker to get running but offer less customisation.
• How long does the painting process take? — Painting and drying times depend on your chosen method and paint type. Spray can application typically takes 20-30 minutes of active spraying time, with 24 hours recommended for full cure before running. Airbrush application allows more control but may take longer. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats (typically 1-2 hours) and before assembly (typically 24 hours minimum). Always check your paint manufacturer's recommendations.
• Can I use decals on top of painted clear bodies? — Yes, the decal sheets included in this kit are designed for application on painted polycarbonate bodies. Once your body is painted and fully cured, you can apply decals to add graphics, racing numbers, team logos or sponsor branding. Allow paint to cure fully (at least 24 hours) before applying decals to ensure the paint has hardened and the decals will adhere properly.
• What's included in the window masking? — The window masking typically includes pre-cut tape or film pieces designed to fit the window openings of the Slayer Pro 4X4 body. These are applied before painting to create clean lines and prevent paint from entering the window areas. The exact format may vary, but the masking is designed for straightforward application and removal.
