Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the ProGraphix system and how does it work? — ProGraphix is Traxxas's innovative two-stage body painting system. The detailed graphics are fully painted at the factory in full colour, but the main body colour areas remain clear polycarbonate. You simply choose your preferred main colour from the Traxxas ProGraphix paint range and spray it yourself to complete the body. This approach makes it incredibly easy for anyone to achieve professional-looking results without requiring advanced painting skills or expensive equipment, and allows complete freedom to personalise your RC car UK with any colour combination you prefer.
- Is this body shell compatible with my RC car? — This ProGraphix body is specifically designed for the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally Brushless and Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally BL-2S platforms. If you own either of these models, this body will fit perfectly. The body's dimensions and mounting points are engineered specifically for these chassis platforms, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal aerodynamic performance when properly installed.
- Do I need to paint this body myself? — Yes, this is a ProGraphix body, which means the detailed graphics are already painted, but you will need to apply the final main body colour using Traxxas ProGraphix paint. The process is straightforward and designed to be accessible even to beginners; simply mask off the areas you want to protect, apply the paint in thin coats, and allow it to cure. The pre-applied overspray film protects the graphics during this process, ensuring they remain crisp and clear beneath your colour coat.
- What is included with the body shell? — The body comes completely trimmed and ready to paint with a rear wing and full mounting hardware, a protective overspray film pre-applied to the body, a comprehensive decal sheet for additional customisation, and four 3x8mm FCS fasteners. However, clipless latches and the cross brace are sold separately.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this body is excellent for beginners because the most challenging part of customising RC bodies—painting detailed graphics—is already done for you. You simply apply a solid colour coat using ProGraphix paint, which requires minimal skill and produces professional results. The body comes fully trimmed and ready to install, eliminating complex trimming and preparation work that often deters newcomers.

- What is the purpose of the protective overspray film? — The protective overspray film is pre-applied to the body before it reaches you. When you spray your chosen colour, this film protects all the detailed graphics that were painted at the factory, ensuring they don't get covered or damaged by your topcoat. After your colour coat has cured, you simply peel away the overspray film to reveal the pristine graphics beneath.
- What is the scale of this body? — This is a 1:10 scale body, designed to fit 1:10 scale RC chassis platforms. The 1:10 scale is the most popular size for RC cars UK, offering the perfect balance of size, durability and ease of use for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts.
- Does this body come with window masks? — No, this body does not come with window masks. However, the detailed graphics and included decal sheet provide extensive styling options, and you can create your own window masks or paint the windows as part of your customisation process.
- What materials is this body made from? — This body is made from durable polycarbonate, which is the industry standard for RC car bodies.
