Key Features
- Gloss White Metallic Paint Finish — The body arrives fully-painted in a rich, lustrous gloss white metallic colour that catches light beautifully and provides an authentic Mercedes-Benz appearance straight from the box, eliminating the need for custom painting unless you desire further customisation.
- Pre-Assembled Chrome Body Accessories — All chrome details including the distinctive front grille, side mirrors, and door handles come pre-assembled and ready to mount, saving you setup time and ensuring professional-quality appearance from day one.
- Molded Trim Elements — Carefully moulded trim pieces replicate the authentic body lines and contours of the real Mercedes-Benz G 63, delivering scale realism that distinguishes this body from simpler alternatives.
- Detailed Windshield Wipers — Even the smallest details matter in scale modelling; these moulded windshield wipers add another layer of authenticity that collectors and serious RC enthusiasts appreciate when displaying or operating their models.
- Clipless Mounting System — Revolutionary hidden internal latches eliminate the need for traditional body clips that can get lost or damaged; the latches feature a self-energising design that actually holds tighter during crashes or rollovers, and quick release is as simple as reaching into the fender well and pulling the latch toward the wheel opening.
- Complete Body Shell — This is a comprehensive body solution that includes everything needed for a finished appearance, from grille to wipers, meaning you're not purchasing partial components or missing essential details.
Technical Performance
The Mercedes-Benz G 63 body shell is engineered specifically for the TRX-6 platform, which represents Traxxas' most advanced crawler technology. The TRX-6 features three independent remote-locking axles and a sophisticated high/low transmission system that delivers massive torque for extreme off-road capability. The body's design complements this engineering with portal axles that offer significant advantages on the trail: the portal design allows the differential to sit much higher relative to the running surface, enabling the truck to pass over taller obstacles that would snag conventional straight-axle designs. Additionally, portal axles eliminate "torque twist" through more than twice the total gear reduction of straight axles, resulting in dramatically improved traction and more realistic vehicle dynamics. The TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz body mounts onto a steel ladder frame constructed from single-piece C-channel rails made of rugged 1.5 mm steel, providing exceptional durability and strength for demanding trail conditions. The suspension system incorporates aluminium GTS shocks with 8 mm bores for authentic scale proportions whilst maintaining sufficient oil capacity for smooth damping performance. Heavy-duty steel suspension links equipped with captured rod ends and steel hollow balls resist flex and shrug off rock-crawling scrapes for long-term reliability. The TRX-6 platform includes dual-plate slipper clutch technology, telescoping driveshafts with hardened steel U-joints, and a 3-link front suspension with Panhard bar, combined with a 4-link rear suspension. The body itself is fully compatible with the 8080X and 8828X inner fenders that complete the installation. This body shell integrates seamlessly with the Ready-To-Run electronics found on complete TRX-6 systems, including XL-5 HV speed control with Trail and Crawl modes, metal-gear high-torque steering servos, and TQ or TQi 2.4 GHz radio systems. The true waterproof capability of the TRX-6 platform is fully supported by this body design, making it suitable for wet terrain and challenging weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this body fit my existing TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6X6 RC crawler? — Yes, this body shell is designed as a direct replacement for the TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6X6 platform. It's compatible with both the TRX88296-4-SLVR (Silver) and TRX88296-4-BLK (Black) RTR models. You will need the 8080X and 8828X inner fenders to complete the installation.
- Is the clipless mounting system easy to use for beginners? — Absolutely. The clipless system is one of the most user-friendly body mounting solutions available for ready to run RC crawlers. Installation requires simply aligning the body with the chassis and pressing down until the hidden internal latches snap into place with a satisfying click. Removal is equally straightforward: reach into the fender well, pull the latch toward the wheel opening, and lift the body away. No clips to lose, no tools required, and the entire process takes just seconds.
- What makes the gloss white metallic finish special compared to other body colours? — Gloss white metallic is a premium finish that requires advanced paint application techniques. The metallic component reflects light beautifully, creating depth and visual interest that flat colours cannot achieve. This finish authentically represents the real Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG as it appears in professional photography and dealership showrooms, making it ideal for both trail use and display purposes.
- Does this body shell come pre-painted and ready to use? — Yes, this is a fully-painted, ready-to-mount body shell. All components including the grille, mirrors, door handles, and wipers arrive pre-assembled. You simply attach it to your TRX-6 chassis using the clipless mounting system and you're ready to hit the trails. No painting or additional assembly is required.
- What are the inner fenders and why do I need them? — Inner fenders are structural components that mount inside the body shell to provide rigidity and protect the suspension from debris. The 8080X and 8828X are Traxxas' engineered inner fender sets specifically designed for the Mercedes-Benz G 63 body, ensuring proper fitment, durability, and authentic appearance. They're essential for completing the body installation and maintaining structural integrity during off-road use.
- Can I use this body with other TRX-6 models or different platforms? — This body is specifically engineered for the TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6X6 platform and is not compatible with other TRX-6 variants or different chassis platforms. The TRX-6 platform's unique six-wheel drive system and independent locking axles are essential to the proper function and appearance of this body.
- Is the Mercedes-Benz G 63 body suitable for serious rock crawling and technical terrain? — The TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz platform is engineered for extreme off-road capability with portal axles, heavy-duty steel suspension, and sophisticated locking differentials. This body is mounted on that capability-rich platform, making it entirely suitable for technical crawling. The clipless mounting system's self-energising latches actually hold tighter during impacts, making it reliable even in hardcore terrain.
