Key Features
- Licensed Ford 5.0 Mustang Design — This bodyshell is officially licensed by Ford Motor Company and authentically reproduces the popular notchback 5.0 Fox-chassis Mustang styling, giving your Drag Slash genuine muscle car credentials and visual authenticity that sets it apart from generic RC bodies available in the UK RC car market.
- Lighter Weight Notchback Configuration — Unlike heavier hatchback designs, the notchback Fox-body configuration provides reduced weight which improves acceleration and handling characteristics, making your Drag Slash more responsive and quicker off the line at the drag strip.
- Increased Structural Rigidity — The engineering of this Fox-body design delivers superior structural integrity over alternative configurations, ensuring the bodyshell maintains its shape and durability through repeated racing and bashing, reducing flex and improving overall performance consistency.
- Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The injection-moulded polycarbonate material is transparent, allowing you complete creative freedom to paint the body in your chosen colours and designs using Traxxas ProGraphix paint, which delivers professional-quality results without requiring specialist spray equipment.
- Fully Trimmed and Ready to Paint — The bodyshell arrives completely trimmed with all necessary openings pre-cut, eliminating preparation work and allowing you to begin painting immediately, saving time and ensuring clean, professional results.
- Injected Moulded Side Mirrors and Rear Wing — Authentic moulded accessories including side mirrors and rear wing are included as integral parts of the bodyshell, adding genuine Ford Mustang styling details and functional aerodynamic elements without requiring separate purchases.
- Included Window Masking — Pre-cut window masking tape is provided in the package, protecting window areas during painting and ensuring clean, professional paint lines around the glass areas without the need to purchase additional masking materials.
- Complete Decal Sheet — An authentic Ford Mustang decal sheet is included, allowing you to add final styling touches and Ford branding to match the official Mustang aesthetic, with options for customisation based on your preferred design.
- Pre-Applied Overspray Film — Factory-applied protective overspray film protects unpainted areas during your painting process, reducing masking requirements and helping achieve cleaner results with less preparation time.
- Bumper Foam Support Included — Foam bumper support material is provided to protect the front bumper area and enhance impact absorption, protecting both the body and the chassis during crashes and bashing sessions.
- Body Posts and Hardware Provided — All necessary mounting hardware and body posts are included in the package, allowing direct installation onto your Drag Slash chassis without requiring separate purchases of mounting components.
- Compatible with Drag Slash Chassis — This bodyshell is specifically engineered to fit the Traxxas Drag Slash platform, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment, though the Drag Slash chassis is sold separately and required for completion of your build.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Ford Mustang Fox Body (TRX9421) is manufactured from injection-moulded polycarbonate, a material renowned in the RC hobby for its durability, lightweight properties, and ease of customisation. At 1/10 scale, this bodyshell delivers authentic proportions that capture the essence of the full-size Ford Mustang 5.0, making it visually striking whether competing in drag racing events or bashing casually. The polycarbonate construction provides flexibility to absorb minor impacts without cracking whilst maintaining structural integrity through regular use. The notchback Fox-body design is engineered specifically for the Drag Slash platform, ensuring proper weight distribution and aerodynamic performance when installed on the chassis. The bodyshell's lighter weight compared to alternative hatchback designs contributes to improved acceleration and overall performance metrics, which is particularly beneficial for drag racing applications where every tenth of a second counts. The injection-moulded side mirrors, rear wing, and bumper elements are integrated into the body design, reducing overall weight whilst maintaining authentic styling. All protective elements including pre-applied overspray film, included foam bumper support, and factory-trimmed openings are engineered to protect the bodyshell during painting and ensure professional results. The included window masking system and comprehensive decal sheet allow customisation within minutes once paint has cured, making this an accessible upgrade for UK RC enthusiasts of all experience levels.
