Overview
The Traxxas LaTrax 1:18 Teton clear body shell is the perfect canvas for RC enthusiasts who want to create a truly personalised RC model. Whether you're a seasoned basher exploring custom paint schemes or a hobbyist looking to add professional flair to your 1/18 scale RC truck, this fully trimmed body offers endless creative possibilities. From mild to wild, you have complete control over the colour and design, making your RC car UK collection truly unique. The clear bodyshell arrives fully trimmed and ready for your custom paint application, eliminating the time-consuming preparation work and letting you focus on the creative side of your build.
What sets the Traxxas LaTrax Teton body apart is the included professional-grade decal sheet and pre-applied overspray film, which work together to ensure your custom paint job achieves showroom-quality results. The pre-applied overspray film protects your paint and graphics from wear and tear during active bashing or on-track racing, whilst the decal sheet provides authentic Teton branding options that complement your colour scheme.

Designed specifically for the LaTrax Teton platform, this bodyshell integrates seamlessly with your existing chassis and drivetrain, requiring no modifications or compatibility concerns. Whether you're painting your first RC body or adding to an established collection of customised models, Traxxas has engineered this shell to deliver consistent fit, finish and durability, making it an essential component for any LaTrax Teton owner seeking a visual refresh or complete customisation project.

Technical Performance
The LaTrax Teton clear bodyshell represents the pinnacle of Traxxas manufacturing quality and attention to detail in the 1/18 scale RC truck market. Constructed from durable, crystal-clear polycarbonate material, this body withstands the rigours of enthusiast-level bashing whilst maintaining optical clarity that showcases your custom paint application underneath. The shell has been engineered with precision panel lines and authentic truck proportions that give your LaTrax Teton a scale-accurate appearance once painted. The inclusion of pre-applied overspray film means your investment in custom paint and decals is protected from the moment you complete your design; this clear protective coating guards against UV exposure, dust accumulation, and minor impacts that commonly occur during outdoor RC sessions. The bodyshell's full trimming eliminates sharp edges and weak points, reducing the likelihood of cracks during normal use and contributing to extended durability. When combined with Traxxas ProGraphix paint system—a professional-grade acrylic lacquer specifically formulated for polycarbonate bodies—this shell delivers paint adhesion and colour vibrancy equivalent to factory-finished Traxxas models. The decal sheet included in the package uses high-quality ink that bonds permanently to clear lacquer, creating weather-resistant graphics that resist fading and peeling even under extended UK sunlight exposure and outdoor conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I paint this LaTrax Teton bodyshell with standard hobby paints? — Whilst you can use various acrylic and lacquer-based paints, Traxxas specifically recommends ProGraphix paint for optimal results on polycarbonate bodies. ProGraphix is formulated to adhere properly to clear polycarbonate, cure uniformly, and provide colour depth and durability that standard hobby paints may not achieve. For the best professional appearance on your RC model, ProGraphix is the preferred choice.
- What makes this body shell better than a painted alternative? — Clear bodies offer complete creative freedom compared to pre-painted options. You control every aspect of the colour scheme, graphics and design. Additionally, the transparency allows light to interact with your paint in unique ways, and the pre-applied overspray film means you get factory-style protection as standard, something pre-painted bodies may not offer.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC customisation? — Yes, this bodyshell is ideal for beginners because it arrives fully trimmed and ready to paint—no difficult preparation work is required. The included decal sheet and pre-applied overspray film simplify the customisation process, and when combined with Traxxas ProGraphix paint, even first-time painters achieve professional results. The straightforward fit onto your LaTrax Teton chassis means no complex modifications.
- Will the decals stick to the clear polycarbonate? — The included decal sheet is specifically designed for use with polycarbonate bodies and Traxxas ProGraphix paint. Once you've applied your paint base coat, you wet-apply the decals to the cured paint surface, not directly to the clear plastic. The pre-applied overspray film then protects both your paint and the decals from damage during use.
- How durable is the polycarbonate material? — Traxxas polycarbonate is engineered to resist impacts, UV exposure and temperature changes typical in UK RC use. The material remains flexible enough to absorb minor impacts without cracking, whilst remaining rigid enough to maintain panel line definition and overall shape integrity throughout extended use.
- Do I need special tools to paint this body? — You'll need spray equipment (airbrush or spray cans), Traxxas ProGraphix paint in your chosen colours, and basic masking materials if you want multiple colours or complex designs. The clear shell allows you to plan your paint scheme by viewing the underlying chassis, making design planning easier than with opaque bodies.
- What is the difference between this clear body and pre-painted LaTrax Teton bodies? — Clear bodies offer unlimited customisation possibilities and require you to apply your own paint, whilst pre-painted options come factory-finished. Clear bodies allow creative freedom and personalisation; pre-painted bodies offer convenience. Both deliver authentic Teton styling when completed correctly. This clear shell includes the decal sheet and overspray film, giving you professional-quality options for finishing.
