This TRX-4 body shell represents the pinnacle of scale accuracy and construction quality in the 1/10 rock crawler category. The polycarbonate shell material has been specifically selected for its combination of rigidity and impact resistance, providing the structural integrity needed for serious off-road driving whilst maintaining flexibility to absorb impacts without permanent deformation.
