This is RC body customisation made accessible to everyone.
What sets this body apart from standard pre-painted alternatives is the flexibility it offers. From mild to wild, you can select any colour that matches your personality or complements your RC collection. The body arrives fully trimmed and ready to paint, with a protective overspray film already applied to ensure convenience during the painting process. This attention to detail means you're buying a premium product that respects both your time and your investment.
Key Features
- Semi-Painted ProGraphix Design — The detailed graphics are fully painted with professional-quality printing, but the main body shell is clear polycarbonate, allowing you to select and spray your own primary colour using Traxxas ProGraphix paint for a completely personalised finish.
- Fully Trimmed and Ready to Paint — This body arrives completely trimmed, meaning all windows, vents, and bodywork edges are already cut and finished, saving you hours of preparation time and reducing the risk of mistakes.
- Pre-Applied Overspray Film — A protective film is already applied to the body, protecting the detailed graphics during your painting process and ensuring the pre-printed elements stay pristine while you apply your chosen colour.
- Includes Decal Sheet — A complete decal sheet is provided, giving you additional customisation options to add racing numbers, sponsor logos, or other graphic elements to complete your unique design.
- Clipless Design Option — The body is compatible with clipless latches (sold separately), offering a modern, tool-free mounting system that makes body removal and installation quicker and more convenient.
- Inner Body Cage and Reinforcements — Structural reinforcements and an inner body cage (sold separately) are available as compatible accessories, providing enhanced durability and protection for the shell during aggressive driving or impacts.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Body, Rustler 4X4 VXL, ProGraphix (TRX6785X) is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate material, the industry standard for RC car bodies. Polycarbonate offers the perfect balance of flexibility, durability, and lightweight construction—critical characteristics for a stadium truck body that will experience regular impacts and high-speed running. The 1/10 scale body is engineered to fit the Rustler 4X4 VXL platform perfectly, accommodating the 4WD suspension geometry and wheelbase of this popular brushless RC model. The semi-painted design incorporates fully painted graphics that showcase Traxxas's attention to detail, whilst the clear sections allow light transmission through the windows for a professional appearance once your chosen colour is applied. The body includes pre-drilled mounting post holes, ensuring straightforward installation without requiring additional drilling or modification. The polycarbonate construction provides excellent impact resistance, which is essential given the Rustler 4X4's reputation as a capable off-road and high-speed stadium truck. The protective overspray film applied at the factory means you're working with a body that's already prepared for the next stage of customisation—simply mask off the graphics, apply your ProGraphix paint in light coats, and you'll achieve results indistinguishable from professional automotive paint jobs. The body is compatible with standard 1/10 scale Rustler 4X4 VXL mounting systems, including both traditional and clipless mounting options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use standard automotive paint instead of Traxxas ProGraphix paint? — Whilst technically possible, Traxxas ProGraphix paint is specifically formulated for polycarbonate bodies and is designed to adhere properly without cracking or peeling during flexing and impact. We strongly recommend using genuine Traxxas ProGraphix paint to ensure the best results and longevity of your custom finish.
- Is this body suitable for beginners to RC customisation? — Absolutely. The ProGraphix system is designed with accessibility in mind. The body arrives fully trimmed and ready to paint, the detailed graphics are pre-printed, and the protective overspray film removes guesswork. If you can use a spray can, you can achieve professional results. This makes it ideal for newcomers to RC customisation who want impressive results without steep learning curves.
- What colours can I choose for my custom body? — You can select any colour available in the Traxxas ProGraphix paint range, or you can even mix custom shades if you have spray painting experience. Popular choices include vibrant blues, reds, greens, and silvers, but the choice is entirely yours—that's what makes this system so appealing to RC enthusiasts in the UK who want truly unique vehicles.
- Will the body fit my Traxxas Rustler 4X4 VXL perfectly? — Yes, this is the official OEM body designed specifically for the Rustler 4X4 VXL platform. Fitment is guaranteed with your brushless Rustler 4X4 model, and it's also compatible with certain other Rustler 4X4 variants depending on specific trim differences.
- Do I need any special equipment to paint this body? — No. The Traxxas ProGraphix system is designed for simplicity. A standard spray can of ProGraphix paint and basic masking tape are all you need. No airbrush, compressor, or professional equipment required—this is why it's perfect for hobbyists and weekend bashers across the UK who want custom results without professional-level investment.
- What happens to the pre-printed graphics when I paint the body? — The pre-printed graphics remain protected during your painting process thanks to the pre-applied overspray film and careful masking. Once you've applied your colour and removed the masking tape, the graphics are fully visible and integrated with your chosen colour, creating a cohesive, professional appearance.
- Is this body compatible with clipless mounting systems? — The body is designed to work with standard Rustler 4X4 VXL mounting systems. Clipless latches are sold separately and are available as an optional accessory, offering a modern alternative to traditional body clips if you prefer tool-free removal and installation.
- What is the difference between this ProGraphix body and standard pre-painted bodies? — Standard pre-painted bodies arrive in a single, fixed colour with no customisation options. The ProGraphix body comes semi-painted with detailed graphics pre-printed, but leaves the primary colour choice to you. This allows true personalisation and ensures your Rustler 4X4 looks exactly how you envision it. Additionally, ProGraphix bodies often feature more intricate graphic designs than standard versions.
