Technical Performance

This Traxxas Hoss 4x4 clear body is engineered from durable polycarbonate material, the industry standard for RC vehicle bodyshells due to its excellent impact resistance, flexibility and paint compatibility. At 1/10 scale, this is the ideal size for bashers and racers alike, offering substantial presence without requiring excessive space for driving. The 295mm wheelbase specification ensures the body maintains authentic Hoss 4x4 proportions whilst providing optimal weight distribution and handling characteristics on your compatible Traxxas Stampede 4x4 HD VXL platform. The clear polycarbonate construction is lightweight yet rigid, providing structural integrity whilst allowing light transmission that showcases your painted design. The fully-trimmed design means all edges and mounting points are factory-finished, eliminating the rough edges and preparation work typically associated with aftermarket bodyshells. The inclusion of window masking and pre-applied overspray film demonstrates Traxxas's attention to detail in the complete painting experience. When combined with Traxxas ProGraphix paint, this body delivers professional-grade results comparable to factory-painted shells, making it an excellent choice for UK RC enthusiasts who want custom aesthetics without compromising on quality or fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use this Hoss 4x4 clear body on other RC vehicles? — This body is specifically designed for the Traxxas Stampede 4x4 HD VXL 1/10 4WD RTR models, including the brushless electric versions available in green, blue and orange. The 295mm wheelbase and mounting points are engineered for these specific chassis. Attempting to fit it to other vehicles may result in poor fitment or bodywork damage.
• What paint should I use on this clear polycarbonate body? — Traxxas ProGraphix paint is the recommended choice as it is specifically formulated for polycarbonate bodyshells and delivers professional-quality results. The paint adheres properly to the clear plastic whilst maintaining flexibility to absorb impacts without chipping. Other polycarbonate-compatible paints from reputable RC brands can also be used, but always check compatibility before application.
• Do I need to prime the body before painting? — With Traxxas ProGraphix paint, primer is typically not required as the paint is designed for direct application to clean polycarbonate. However, cleaning the body thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol before painting ensures optimal paint adhesion and professional results.
• What are clipless body mounts and why are they sold separately? — Clipless body mounts are the fastening system that secures the body shell to your RC chassis without requiring clips. They are sold separately because existing Traxxas owners may already have compatible mounts, reducing unnecessary cost. However, if you don't already have them, you'll need to purchase compatible mounts separately from Traxxas or authorised retailers.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this body is excellent for beginners in the RC hobby. Whilst painting and detailing require some patience and careful work, the fully trimmed design, pre-applied overspray film and included masking system remove much of the technical complexity. Beginners should start with simple single-colour designs before attempting complex multi-colour schemes.
• How long does it take to paint and prepare this body? — Preparation typically takes 15-30 minutes including cleaning and masking. Painting time depends on your method (spray can, airbrush or rattle can) and design complexity, ranging from 30 minutes for simple designs to several hours for complex multi-colour schemes. Allow adequate drying time between coats, typically 1-2 hours depending on paint type and environmental conditions.
• What is the difference between this clear body and a painted factory body? — A clear body requires you to paint it yourself, offering complete customisation and creative freedom. Factory-painted bodies save time but offer limited colour options. Clear bodies are typically less expensive initially, though you must factor in the cost of paint, masking supplies and any painting equipment. The choice depends on whether you value customisation and personal expression over convenience.
• Will the window masking and decal sheet protect my windows during painting? — Yes, the included window masking is specifically designed to protect transparent areas from overspray during the painting process. Carefully apply the masking following Traxxas instructions to ensure complete coverage. After painting is complete and dry, remove the masking to reveal clean windows. The decal sheet is applied after painting to add final detail graphics.
