TRX3753X

Overview

Transform your Traxxas Rustler or Rustler VXL with the stunning ProGraphix bodyshell TRX3753X, a genuine Traxxas replacement body that gives your 1/10 scale 2WD short course truck a completely fresh look. This polycarbonate body features factory-printed graphics that showcase the iconic Rustler design, making it the perfect choice for enthusiasts looking to customise their RC car UK without compromise. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying casual RC driving or a serious racer pushing your Rustler VXL to its limits, this replacement bodyshell lets you express your style while maintaining the durability and precision fit you expect from Traxxas.

The Rustler has earned its reputation as one of the fastest and most capable 2WD short course trucks in the RC car hobby, and keeping it looking fresh is part of the fun. This ProGraphix body delivers that professional appearance with printed graphics that are ready for your final colour application. Unlike pre-painted bodies that come completely finished, the ProGraphix system allows you to customise the base colour to match your exact preference, giving you total creative control over your truck's appearance. The result is a genuinely unique RC vehicle that stands out from the crowd.

Compatible with both the standard Rustler and the high-performance Rustler VXL brushless variant, this body ensures you get a perfect fit regardless of which chassis you're running. The polycarbonate construction provides the strength and flexibility needed for serious bashers and competitive racers alike, and the pre-applied decals are integrated into the design so they won't peel or fade with use. For anyone serious about their RC hobby UK, this is the bodyshell upgrade that makes all the difference.

Key Features

• ProGraphix Printed Graphics System — The graphics are printed directly onto the polycarbonate shell rather than applied as separate decals, ensuring durability and a professional finish that won't peel or separate even during aggressive bashing and racing. This means your Rustler will look pristine for years to come.
• Universal Rustler Compatibility — This body fits both the standard Rustler and the high-performance Rustler VXL, making it an ideal upgrade whether you're running the brushed XL-5 speed control or have upgraded to the brushless Velineon VXL-3s system for 70+ mph capability.
• Polycarbonate Construction — The durable polycarbonate material provides the perfect balance between strength and flexibility, protecting your chassis from impacts whilst remaining light enough not to compromise your truck's performance or handling characteristics.
• Requires Final Colour Application — Unlike pre-painted bodies, the ProGraphix system allows you to apply your choice of colour as the final layer, giving you complete creative control and the ability to create a truly unique look that matches your personal style or team colours.
• Authentic Traxxas Design — As a genuine Traxxas product, this body incorporates the iconic Rustler styling that has made this truck legendary in the RC community, with proportions and lines engineered to look fast even when standing still.
• Pre-Applied Decal Sheet Included — The body comes with a complete decal sheet integrated into the graphics, ensuring all the design elements you need are included to complete your custom colour scheme.
• Factory-Precise Fit — Traxxas bodies are engineered for perfect fitment on your Rustler chassis, with exact panel alignment and mounting points that ensure a professional appearance once installed.

Technical Performance

The TRX3753X ProGraphix body is engineered to the same exacting standards as every genuine Traxxas product, delivering a perfect fit and finish on your Rustler or Rustler VXL 1/10 scale 2WD short course truck. The polycarbonate material is impact-resistant and flexible, designed to withstand the demands of high-speed running whether you're limited to the Rustler's brushed Titan 550 motor and XL-5 speed control or you've upgraded to the brushless Velineon VXL-3s system capable of unleashing 70+ mph performance. The body's aerodynamic design has been refined through Traxxas's extensive testing programme and reflects decades of knowledge in short course truck development. The printed graphics system ensures that your custom colour application will bond securely to a professionally prepared surface, and the included decal sheet provides all the authentic Rustler branding and design elements you need. Installation is straightforward, with the body mounting to your existing Rustler chassis using the standard clipless latches that Traxxas has perfected across their entire lineup. The body's deep windows provide excellent visibility of your truck's suspension and chassis components, which is perfect for both cosmetic appeal and practical maintenance access. Whether you're running your Rustler in dry conditions or tackling wet terrain, this polycarbonate construction provides reliable protection whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics that make the Rustler such a capable performer.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas Rustler models does this body fit? — This ProGraphix body is designed to fit both the standard Rustler and the high-performance Rustler VXL, making it compatible with either chassis variant. The body maintains the correct proportions and fitment for both the brushed XL-5 and brushless VXL-3s equipped versions.
• What is the difference between ProGraphix and a pre-painted body? — ProGraphix bodies come with professionally printed graphics but require you to apply the final colour layer yourself, giving you creative control over your truck's appearance. Pre-painted bodies arrive completely finished and ready to mount. The ProGraphix system is ideal if you want to customise the colour whilst maintaining authentic Traxxas graphics.
• Do I need special paint for this body? — Traxxas recommends using polycarbonate-specific paints and clear coats designed for RC bodyshells, as standard automotive paint may not adhere properly or provide the correct finish. These paints are specially formulated for flexibility and durability on thin polycarbonate shells.
• How do I prepare the body for painting? — First, ensure the body is clean and free from dust. Traxxas bodyshells should be masked carefully around the windows using quality masking tape, and you should apply primer before your base colour coats. Follow the paint manufacturer's instructions for drying times between coats and allow adequate curing time before mounting on your chassis.
• Will this body work with my Rustler if I've upgraded to brushless? — Yes, this body is fully compatible with the Rustler VXL and its brushless Velineon VXL-3s speed control system. The body provides no fitment interference with any performance upgrades or modifications you've made to your chassis.
• Can this body be used on the Drag Slash or other 2WD Traxxas models? — No, this body is specifically designed for the Rustler and Rustler VXL. Whilst Traxxas makes accessories suitable for multiple 2WD models (such as steel constant velocity driveshafts that fit Rustler, Stampede and BIGFOOT), this particular bodyshell is engineered exclusively for Rustler fitment.
• How durable is polycarbonate compared to other materials? — Polycarbonate offers excellent impact resistance and flexibility, meaning it's less likely to crack under high-speed impacts compared to rigid materials. It also weighs less than some alternatives, which is important for maintaining your Rustler's performance characteristics and compatibility with its suspension and drive system.
• What's included in the box? — The body shell itself with professionally printed graphics and a complete decal sheet. You'll need to source polycarbonate paint and clear coat separately, plus basic painting supplies.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Painting a bodyshell requires some care and basic skills, but the ProGraphix system makes it more forgiving than raw polycarbonate shells because the graphics are already printed. Beginners should follow painting guides and allow adequate drying time between coats for best results.
• Will this body fit my Rustler without modifications? — Yes, this is a genuine Traxxas product engineered for perfect fitment on standard Rustler and Rustler VXL chassis. No modifications are required. The body uses the same clipless mounting system as all modern Traxxas short course truck bodies.
