Traxxas Slash 4X4 Clear Body with Window Masks Decal Sheet TRX6965

Overview

The Traxxas Body, Slash 4X4 (TRX6965) is a professional-grade clear polycarbonate bodyshell designed for the Traxxas Slash 4X4, Slash VXL, and Slash 2WD short course trucks. This is the perfect accessory for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want to customise their vehicle with a unique paint scheme and design. Whether you're a weekend basher, competitive racer, or experienced RC hobbyist, this clear body gives you complete creative control over your truck's appearance. From mild to wild, you choose the colour and design, and Traxxas ProGraphix® paint makes it easy to achieve professional-quality results that rival factory-painted bodies.

This is not a ready-to-run RC car or a complete ready-to-run short course truck—it is a replacement bodyshell accessory for existing Slash 4X4 models. If you already own a Traxxas Slash 4X4 brushless or VXL short course truck and want to refresh its look or create a completely custom paint scheme, this clear body is an ideal choice. The body comes fully trimmed with a protective overspray film, pre-applied window masking to simplify painting, and a decal sheet so you can add authentic finishing touches once your paint work is complete.

The Traxxas Slash 4X4 is one of the most popular short course trucks in the UK RC hobby market, known for its durability, speed, and versatility both on and off-road. By investing in this clear bodyshell, you're extending the life of your truck and giving it a fresh, personalised appearance. The polycarbonate construction is lightweight yet durable, designed to withstand the rigours of bashing and racing. This accessory is perfect for anyone looking to stand out at the track or bash spot with a custom-painted body that reflects their personal style.

Key Features

• Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from genuine Traxxas polycarbonate, a durable material that is impact-resistant and lightweight, ensuring your custom paint job looks professional while maintaining the truck's handling characteristics and weight distribution.
• Fully Trimmed and Ready for Painting — The body arrives pre-trimmed, meaning all the excess material has been removed and you can start painting immediately without additional preparation work, saving you time and effort.
• Protective Overspray Film Included — A clear protective film comes applied to the body to shield it during the painting and drying process, preventing dust and debris from compromising your finish and ensuring a flawless result.
• Pre-Applied Window Masking — Professional window masks are already in place, meaning you can mask off the windows and paint with precision without having to cut your own masks, resulting in clean, professional-looking window areas.
• Decal Sheet Included — A comprehensive decal sheet is provided so you can add authentic Traxxas graphics and custom designs to your painted body, giving your truck that finished, professional appearance.
• Compatible with Multiple Slash Models — This single bodyshell fits the Slash 4X4, Slash 4X4 VXL, Slash 4X4 Ultimate, Slash 4X4 Brushless, Slash 1/10 2WD VXL-3S Brushless, and other Slash variants, making it a versatile upgrade for multiple truck configurations.
• Clipless Mounting System Ready — The body is designed for Traxxas's clipless mounting system, which uses body latches and latch mounts for a secure, tool-free installation that looks sleek and keeps your truck profile low.
• Professional ProGraphix® Paint Compatibility — Traxxas ProGraphix® paint is specially formulated to adhere perfectly to polycarbonate bodies and dry to a hard, durable finish that resists fading and chipping, even under demanding RC racing and bashing conditions.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Body, Slash 4X4 is manufactured from genuine polycarbonate, the industry-standard material for high-performance RC car bodies. At 1/10 scale, this body is engineered to fit perfectly on all compatible Slash platforms, from the entry-level Slash 2WD to the high-performance Slash 4X4 VXL brushless variant. The polycarbonate material provides the ideal balance of light weight and durability—it won't add unnecessary mass to your truck, which means your brushless motor and 2S or 3S LiPo battery will deliver maximum acceleration and runtime. The body's aerodynamic design, developed through years of Traxxas engineering, helps manage airflow at speed and maintains stability whether you're racing on tarmac, grass, or dirt. Because this is a clear body, you have complete freedom in paint selection and design, allowing you to match your truck's appearance to your personal preference or team colours. The body is fully trimmed and includes all the small details—window masks, decals, and protective film—that make the painting process straightforward and professional. When paired with Traxxas ProGraphix® paint, the finish will be durable and resistant to the wear and tear of regular RC use. The body integrates with Traxxas's clipless mounting system, which requires separate purchase of body latches (part number 6967) and latch mounts (part number 6966), but once installed, provides a secure fit and allows quick body removal for maintenance or changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this clear body fit my Traxxas Slash brushless 2WD or VXL short course truck? — Yes, this TRX6965 body is specifically designed to fit the Slash 4X4, Slash 4X4 VXL, Slash 4X4 Ultimate, Slash 4X4 Brushless, and also the Slash 1/10 2WD RTR VXL-3S Brushless models. Check your truck model number against the compatibility list to confirm; if your truck is listed, this body will fit perfectly.
• What paint should I use on this polycarbonate body? — Traxxas ProGraphix® paint is the recommended choice because it is specifically formulated to adhere to polycarbonate and dry to a hard, durable finish that resists chipping and fading. You can also use other polycarbonate-compatible RC paints, but always check the manufacturer's instructions to ensure compatibility.
• Do I need to do anything to prepare the body before painting? — The body comes fully trimmed and with protective overspray film already applied, so minimal preparation is needed. The window masking is pre-applied, so you can begin painting immediately. Simply remove any protective film, ensure the surface is clean and dry, and you're ready to paint.
• Why does this body require separate purchase of body latches and latch mounts? — The body latches (6967) and latch mounts (6966) are sold separately because many users already have them installed on their trucks from previous bodies. This allows you to purchase just the bodyshell if you already own the mounting hardware, saving you money. If you don't have these parts, they must be purchased separately to enable clipless mounting.
• Is this clear body suitable for beginners painting their first RC truck body? — Yes, absolutely. The body comes pre-trimmed and with window masking already applied, which simplifies the preparation process significantly. The included decal sheet allows you to add professional finishing touches even if your freehand paint work isn't perfect. Start with a simple colour scheme, use quality polycarbonate paint, and you'll achieve great results. Many beginners successfully paint RC bodies with basic spray cans and paintbrushes.
• How long does it take to paint and prepare this body for use? — Painting time varies depending on your chosen design and painting method. Basic single-colour paint jobs can take 1-2 hours plus drying time (typically 24 hours for full hardness). More complex designs with multiple colours, patterns, or airbrush work may take several hours. Always allow adequate drying time between coats and before final assembly to ensure durability.
• Can I use this body on a different Traxxas truck model? — This body is specifically designed for Slash 4X4 platform trucks and compatible variants. It will not fit other Traxxas models such as the E-Revo, X-Maxx, or Stampede. Always verify compatibility by checking your truck's model number against the manufacturer's compatibility list before purchasing.
• What's the difference between this clear body and a pre-painted Traxxas body? — A pre-painted body arrives ready to install with factory paint and decals already applied, requiring no additional work. This clear body requires you to paint it yourself, which takes time and effort but gives you complete creative control over the design and colour scheme. The clear body is ideal if you want a custom look or need to refresh your truck's appearance with your own design.
