Key Features
- Gloss Black Metallic Paint Finish — The body arrives fully-painted in a rich, deep gloss black metallic colour that provides stunning visual appeal and professional-quality appearance, eliminating the need for time-consuming painting and allowing you to get on the trail immediately.
- Pre-Assembled Chrome Body Accessories — The grille, side mirrors, and door handles come pre-assembled and chromed, delivering authentic Mercedes-Benz styling without the hassle of separate assembly, saving you valuable build time and ensuring perfect fitment.
- Moulded Trim Details — Meticulously designed moulded body trim including windshield wipers and other scale details add genuine authenticity and visual depth, making your RC rig look like a true scale replica of the real Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6X6.
- Clipless Mounting System — The hidden internal latches lock the body securely in place with a satisfying snap, eliminating the need for traditional body clips that can easily get lost. The self-energising latch design actually holds tighter during impacts or rollovers, and body removal is as simple as reaching into the fender well and pulling the latch toward the wheel opening.
- Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG Authenticity — This is the official Traxxas replica body for the TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6X6, capturing the unmistakable design language and proportions of one of the world's most iconic off-road vehicles in authentic 1/10 scale.
- Complete Solution — Rather than purchasing a clear body and investing in paint and detailing, this complete solution arrives ready to install, with all accessories pre-fitted and the finish already perfectly applied.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 body is engineered to work seamlessly with Traxxas's industry-leading TRX-6 chassis platform, which delivers outstanding trail performance through six-wheel drive capability powered by three independent remote-locking axles. The body itself is manufactured to the precise tolerances required for perfect fitment on TRX-6 models, whilst the clipless mounting system represents Traxxas's commitment to innovation and user convenience. The gloss black metallic finish is applied using Traxxas ProGraphix technology, ensuring durability that stands up to the rigours of regular off-road use whilst maintaining a showroom shine. The moulded body accessories, including the detailed grille and integrated trim, are manufactured from durable polycarbonate material that can withstand rock scrapes, tree branches, and impacts typical of serious trail crawling. The pre-assembled chrome accessories are securely fitted, meaning no additional detail work is required. For serious builders seeking a complete, authentic, and immediately usable body solution, this Mercedes-Benz G 63 body delivers exceptional quality that matches Traxxas's reputation for engineering excellence and trail-tested durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which TRX-6 models does this body fit? — This body is specifically designed for the Traxxas TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6X6 and is compatible with both the XL-5 brushless RTR models, including the TRX88296-4-BLK (black) and TRX88296-4-SLVR (silver) versions. It requires the #8080X and #8828X inner fenders for complete installation.
- Do I need to paint this body myself? — No. This body arrives fully-painted in gloss black metallic finish using Traxxas ProGraphix paint technology, ready to mount directly onto your chassis. This saves considerable time and effort compared to purchasing a clear body and painting it yourself.
- How does the clipless mounting system work? — The body uses hidden internal latches that snap into place when the body is pressed down onto the chassis. To remove the body for maintenance or repairs, simply reach into the fender well and pull the latch toward the wheel opening—no tools required and no clips to lose. The self-energising design means the latch actually holds tighter during crashes or rollovers.
- Is this body suitable for serious trail crawling and rock bashing? — Yes. Traxxas bodies are engineered specifically for trail performance and can withstand the demands of technical rock crawling, tree branches, and impact-heavy bashing. The durable polycarbonate construction and secure clipless mounting make this body ideal for serious outdoor RC use.
- What makes the Mercedes-Benz G 63 body special compared to other TRX-6 options? — The Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6X6 is one of the most iconic and recognisable luxury off-road vehicles on the planet, and Traxxas has captured its distinctive design language perfectly in this 1/10 scale replica. The combination of gloss black metallic finish, pre-assembled chrome accessories, and moulded detail trim creates an authentically detailed body that stands out on any trail. For UK RC enthusiasts who value scale realism alongside trail capability, this Mercedes-Benz body is an excellent choice.
- Are the chrome accessories pre-installed or do I need to assemble them? — The grille, side mirrors, and door handles arrive pre-assembled and pre-chromed, ready to mount. This eliminates assembly time and ensures perfect fitment, allowing you to focus on installation rather than detailed accessory work.
- Does this body come with all the hardware I need for installation? — The body includes the clipless mounting latches and associated hardware. However, you will need to source the #8080X and #8828X inner fenders separately, as these are sold as individual components and are required to complete the installation.
