Overview
The Traxxas Body, Chevrolet Blazer (1972), complete, Blue & White is an officially licensed, hand-crafted replica body that brings one of the most iconic Chevrolet trucks ever made to life on the trail. This stunning 1/10 scale body is specifically designed for TRX-4 platform RC crawler enthusiasts who demand authentic scale realism alongside genuine off-road performance. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast building a custom TRX-4 setup or upgrading an existing chassis, this classic Blazer body delivers uncompromising scale presence with factory-quality painted details that stand out among ready to run RC cars and crawler projects across the UK.
Manufactured by Traxxas with meticulous attention to detail, this clipless body faithfully reproduces the legendary 1972 K5 Blazer with bright chrome accents that contrast beautifully against the high-gloss Blue and White paint. The injection-moulded grille, side mirrors, and simulated wood trim create authentic scale presence that rivals much more expensive static display models. This is more than just a body shell—it's a complete transformation package that includes everything needed to dramatically upgrade the visual appeal of your TRX-4 crawler, making it the centrepiece of any serious RC collection or trail-running setup.
The clipless body mounting system represents a significant advancement in RC vehicle design, offering a perfect balance between scale authenticity and practical functionality. Unlike traditional clip-based mounting systems, the innovative hidden latching mechanism allows the body to maintain clean, flowing lines while releasing in seconds when you need access to the chassis for maintenance or repairs. This thoughtful engineering means you get the best of both worlds: stunning visual appeal on the trail and genuine convenience when working on your model.

Technical Performance
This is a premium body shell component designed for the TRX-4 platform, manufactured using high-quality injection-moulded plastic construction that provides exceptional durability whilst keeping weight minimal for optimal performance. The body requires a 312mm wheelbase chassis and must be used with the separately available TRX8072X inner fenders to ensure proper fitment and panel alignment. The clipless mounting system utilises a hidden latching mechanism that secures the body during driving whilst releasing cleanly for maintenance access, a significant improvement over traditional clip-based systems. The Blue and White painted finish is applied at the factory to exacting standards, delivering professional appearance straight from the box without requiring owner painting. The complete package includes the main body shell, clear windows, injection-moulded front grille, side mirrors, door handles, windshield wipers, and both front and rear bumpers—everything needed for a comprehensive visual upgrade when combined with a compatible TRX-4 chassis. The simulated wood trim detailing and bright chrome accents create stunning visual depth and scale authenticity, making this body appropriate for both trail bashers who want aggressive off-road capability with stunning looks and collectors seeking display-quality presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What TRX-4 models is this Blazer body compatible with? — This body requires any TRX-4 chassis with a 312mm wheelbase specification. It is not compatible with other scale platforms or older TRX-4 models with different wheelbase measurements. Always verify your chassis wheelbase measurement before ordering to ensure perfect fitment and proportion.
- Do I need to paint this body myself? — No, this is a fully painted body that arrives in stunning Blue and White factory finish. Unlike unpainted body shells that require significant time investment in painting and finishing, this ready-to-install option gets your model on the trail immediately after assembly.
- What are the advantages of clipless body mounting? — Clipless mounting provides two major advantages: firstly, it delivers superior scale realism by eliminating visible clips and creating clean, flowing lines that look far more authentic than clip-based systems; secondly, it allows tool-free body removal for chassis maintenance, repair, or upgrades, removing the frustration of struggling with traditional clip systems during field work.
- Can I add an interior to this body? — Yes, the clear windows and overall design make this body fully compatible with the optional Traxxas 9114-series interior kits (sold separately), allowing enthusiasts to add detailed cabin interiors for even greater scale authenticity and visual impact.
- Is this suitable for beginners in RC crawling? — This is a body component suitable for anyone building or upgrading a TRX-4 crawler platform. Whether you're a complete beginner or experienced basher, the key consideration is whether you already own a compatible TRX-4 chassis with the correct 312mm wheelbase specification. The body installation itself is straightforward, though you will need the separate inner fenders for proper fitment.
- What is the difference between this 1972 Blazer and other TRX-4 bodies? — The 1972 K5 Blazer brings classic American off-road heritage to the TRX-4 platform with authentic period-correct styling that differs significantly from modern vehicles. This makes it the perfect choice for enthusiasts who appreciate vintage trucks and want a distinctive model that stands out at any RC gathering across the UK.
- Is the paint finish durable for trail use? — The high-gloss painted finish is production-grade and designed for regular trail use. Like any painted model, minor scuffs and marks will develop through normal off-road driving, but the finish remains functional and visually appealing through extended seasons of active use. For maximum protection, some enthusiasts apply clear protective film to high-impact areas.
