Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to paint this Traxxas LaTrax 1:18 Rally body before use? — Yes, this bodyshell arrives completely un-painted, which is why the price is lower than pre-painted alternatives.

This gives you complete creative freedom to design a custom livery or replicate your favourite real-world rally car.
- What type of paint should I use on this polycarbonate bodyshell? — You must use paint specifically formulated for polycarbonate RC bodies. Standard acrylic or enamel paints will not adhere properly or may damage the clear plastic. Traxxas polycarbonate spray paint and other RC-specific brands are recommended for best results and durability.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — While the body itself is straightforward to install on the LaTrax 1:18 Rally chassis, painting and decorating an un-painted bodyshell requires some skill and proper materials. Beginners may prefer purchasing a pre-painted body, or can learn valuable customisation techniques by tackling this project with care and preparation.
