Key Features
- Tough Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material that is specifically engineered to absorb impacts and resist damage during aggressive driving, bashing, and racing. This material choice ensures longevity and maintains structural integrity even after multiple collisions and rough handling, which is crucial for any ready to run RC vehicle that sees regular use.
- ProGraphix Paint Finish — The hottest ProGraphix paint application delivers a factory-quality finish that looks stunning in photographs and on the track. This professional-grade paint system provides superior colour depth, gloss, and durability compared to standard paint finishes, ensuring your RC monster truck looks premium and eye-catching.
- Pre-Applied Decals — All graphics and decals come factory-applied to the body, eliminating the need for tedious manual decal application. This not only saves you hours of work but ensures that the decals are positioned perfectly and applied with professional precision, creating a cohesive and authentic appearance straight from the box.
- Fully Assembled and Ready to Mount — Unlike basic bodyshells that require extensive assembly, this body comes completely assembled with all mounting hardware pre-installed. The front and rear body mounts are factory-fitted, and the rear body support is already in place, meaning you can mount this body to your Sledge chassis in minutes without requiring additional parts or tools.
- Front and Rear Body Mounts Pre-Installed — The precision-engineered mounting system is already assembled and tested at the factory, ensuring perfect alignment and secure fitment to your Sledge chassis. This eliminates the guesswork and potential for misalignment that can occur when assembling mounts manually.
- Rear Body Support for Clipless Mounting — The integrated rear body support is specifically designed for clipless mounting, providing a secure and tool-free mounting system that makes body removal and installation quick and convenient. This is ideal for maintenance, damage replacement, or simply changing the look of your truck without extended downtime.
- Roof Skids Included — Pre-installed roof skids provide additional protection during impacts and rollovers, helping to dissipate impact energy and protect the upper sections of the body during aggressive driving and tricks.
- Official Traxxas Component — As a genuine Traxxas part manufactured to the exact specifications of the Sledge chassis, this body guarantees perfect fitment, compatibility, and performance integration with your brushless RC truck.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Sledge body represents the pinnacle of RC vehicle design, engineered specifically for the 1/8 scale Sledge Belted monster truck platform. Manufactured from premium polycarbonate, this material selection is crucial for high-performance RC applications because it offers an optimal balance between impact resistance, lightweight characteristics, and durability.

The pre-applied decal system uses durable, UV-resistant graphics that maintain their vibrant appearance through countless hours of outdoor use, whether you're racing in competitive events or enjoying casual weekend bashing sessions. The body is designed to work seamlessly with the Sledge's 4WD drivetrain and brushless motor system, ensuring that aerodynamic characteristics and weight distribution remain optimal for maximum performance across all driving conditions and terrain types.

The mounting system is standardised across all Sledge models, ensuring perfect compatibility.

This body comes completely finished with the professional ProGraphix paint system and all decals are pre-applied at the factory. You can mount it directly to your chassis and start driving immediately without any additional preparation or customisation work.
- What tools do I need to mount this body to my Sledge? — The body features a clipless rear mounting system and pre-installed mounts, making installation extremely straightforward. You'll typically only need basic tools such as a screwdriver, though many users find they can install this body with minimal tools or even by hand in certain cases.
