Key Features
- ProGraphix Paint System — The Solar Flare body features Traxxas's premium ProGraphix paint, which offers superior durability, colour vibrancy, and resistance to fading from UV exposure and weathering, ensuring your RC monster truck maintains its stunning appearance through countless bashings and outdoor sessions.
- Pre-Applied Decals — Professional-quality decals come pre-applied to the body, saving you hours of detailed work and ensuring perfectly positioned graphics that enhance the aggressive, modern styling of your brushless RC vehicle.
- Fully Assembled and Ready to Mount — This body arrives completely assembled with all components pre-installed, meaning you can have your Hoss looking fresh and ready to run in minutes rather than hours, making it ideal for both experienced builders and newcomers to RC car UK hobbies.
- Tough Polycarbonate Construction — Manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, the body resists impacts, abrasions, and flexing during high-speed manoeuvres, providing excellent protection for your Hoss's internal components whilst maintaining structural integrity through countless bashing sessions.
- Pre-Installed Body Mounts — Front and rear body mounts come factory-installed, eliminating the need for separate mounting hardware and ensuring secure, vibration-free attachment to your Hoss 4X4 VXL chassis.
- Clipless Mounting System — The body utilises Traxxas's convenient clipless mounting design, allowing for tool-free body removal and installation, perfect for quick maintenance, repairs, or swapping between different body styles.
- Roof Skid Included — A protective roof skid is pre-installed to shield the body during rollovers and impacts, absorbing energy that would otherwise transfer to the painted surface and extending the visual lifespan of your truck's exterior.
- Rear Body Support — Pre-mounted rear body support provides additional structural rigidity and protection, preventing body flex during aggressive acceleration and cornering whilst maintaining optimal aerodynamics for high-speed runs.
- Tailgate Protector — A dedicated tailgate protector comes pre-installed, guarding the rear section of the body from damage during bashings and collisions, preserving the integrity of your truck's rear styling.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Hoss 4X4 VXL is an exceptional ready to run RC monster truck platform, and this Solar Flare body perfectly complements its impressive performance characteristics. The body is engineered to fit seamlessly with the VXL's brushless electric drivetrain, which delivers tremendous power and speed whilst maintaining excellent durability. The tough polycarbonate construction provides adequate aerodynamic flow whilst offering superior impact resistance compared to standard plastic bodies. The Solar Flare colour scheme features metallic paint that catches light beautifully during high-speed runs, making your truck highly visible whether you're racing across open fields or navigating complex indoor RC tracks. The pre-applied decals align perfectly with the body's contours, creating a seamless, professional appearance that rivals factory-finished vehicles. With the Hoss 4X4 VXL's proven suspension geometry, powerful brushless motor, and advanced electronic speed controller working in harmony with this durable body, you'll achieve excellent handling characteristics, impressive top-end speed, and reliable performance across diverse terrain types. The clipless mounting system ensures the body stays secure even during aggressive jumps and hard landings, whilst the integrated roof skid, rear body support, and tailgate protector work together to minimise cosmetic damage during extended bashing sessions.
