Technical Performance

The Traxxas 1/16 Slash 4X4 ProGraphix body is engineered to the highest standards of quality and precision that Traxxas is renowned for throughout the RC hobby. This body shell is constructed from durable polycarbonate material that provides excellent impact resistance and flexibility, crucial attributes for an RC car body that will encounter bumps, crashes, and rough handling during both recreational bashing and competitive use. The 1/16 scale size makes this body particularly appealing for UK RC enthusiasts who want a compact, portable RC vehicle that doesn't sacrifice on style or detail. The pre-painted graphics are applied using professional-grade paint technology that ensures vibrant, crisp detail reproduction, whilst the clear portions of the body are precisely formulated to accept Traxxas ProGraphix paints without requiring any primer or base coat preparation. The protective overspray film that comes pre-applied to the body acts as a barrier during your painting process, preventing accidental overspray from reaching areas that should remain clear or detailed. All structural elements, including the pre-drilled body post holes, are engineered with tight tolerances to ensure a secure fit on your 1/16 Slash 4X4 chassis without any movement or rattling during high-speed running. The overall construction methodology reflects Traxxas's commitment to delivering bodies that combine ease of customization with professional-grade durability, making this an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced builders looking to create show-quality RC models.
