Key Features
- ProGraphix Paint System — The body features Traxxas's hottest ProGraphix paint finish with vibrant red colouring that looks stunning both on display and during high-speed action. The ProGraphix system delivers professional-quality paint application that resists fading and chipping, keeping your RC car looking showroom fresh for longer.
- Pre-Applied Decals — Factory Five graphics come pre-applied to the body shell, eliminating the tedious task of applying decals yourself and ensuring perfect alignment and finish. This means you get a fully detailed, race-ready appearance straight from the box without any additional work required.
- Fully Assembled and Trimmed — The body arrives completely assembled and pre-trimmed, ready to mount directly onto your 1/10 scale RC car chassis. There's no need to spend hours preparing or finishing the body, making this an ideal choice for builders who want instant results.
- Complete Accessory Package — This is not just a bare shell; it includes a comprehensive set of detailed accessories that bring the Factory Five design to life. The package contains a front grille for authentic hot rod styling, functional side mirrors, detailed headlights, and working tail lights that add both aesthetic appeal and scale realism.
- Foam Pads Included — Protective foam pads are pre-installed to cushion the body against your chassis, reducing vibration and protecting your painted finish from scratches and damage during operation. This thoughtful inclusion helps maintain the pristine appearance of your RC car and reduces unwanted noise.
- Premium Polycarbonate Construction — The body is crafted from high-quality polycarbonate material that offers the perfect balance of durability, flexibility, and light weight. Polycarbonate is the industry standard for RC body shells because it resists impact damage, withstands UV exposure, and flexes rather than shatters if you have a crash.
- 1/10 Scale Compatibility — Specifically designed for 1/10 scale RC on-road vehicles, this body fits seamlessly onto the 4-Tec chassis and other compatible 1/10 platforms. The precise engineering ensures proper fitment and aerodynamics for optimal performance on your RC car UK setup.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Factory Five '35 Hot Rod Truck body shell represents the pinnacle of RC body engineering and manufacturing. Constructed from premium polycarbonate, this material is chosen specifically for its superior strength-to-weight ratio, making it the preferred choice for both professional racing and enthusiast bashing. The polycarbonate construction offers exceptional impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight enough to maintain the performance characteristics of your RC vehicle. The body has been meticulously designed to capture every detail of the original Factory Five '35 Hot Rod Truck, from the sweeping curves of the body panels to the authentic grille and mirror configuration. The paint application utilises Traxxas's proprietary ProGraphix system, which delivers vibrant, long-lasting colour with excellent adhesion and UV resistance, ensuring your red finish maintains its showroom quality even after extended use and exposure to sunlight. At 1/10 scale, this body is engineered for optimal aerodynamics and proportional realism on modern RC on-road platforms, making it suitable for both track racing and casual weekend drives. The inclusion of pre-assembled accessories including the front grille, side mirrors, headlights, and tail lights means you receive a production-ready body that requires minimal additional preparation before mounting. The foam pads provide essential vibration damping and chassis protection, contributing to both the longevity of your RC car and the refined driving experience. Whether you're upgrading an existing 4-Tec chassis or building a complete on-road RC car UK setup, this body shell delivers professional-grade quality and authentic styling that will turn heads at the track.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Factory Five '35 Hot Rod Truck body suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. This body shell is ideal for anyone new to RC cars because it comes completely assembled and trimmed, ready to mount without any bodywork preparation. Unlike unpainted or bare polycarbonate bodies that require painting and decal application, this ready-to-run body eliminates those complex steps, making it perfect for RC beginners who want instant gratification.
- What chassis does this body fit? — This body is specifically designed for 1/10 scale Traxxas 4-Tec on-road vehicles. The Factory Five '35 design is engineered to fit the 4-Tec chassis platform, ensuring proper fitment, weight distribution, and aerodynamics. If you own a different chassis platform, compatibility should be verified before purchasing.
- Do I need to paint or apply decals to this body? — No, this is one of the main advantages of this complete body shell. It arrives with ProGraphix paint already applied in a stunning red finish and all decals are pre-applied to the body. You simply mount it on your chassis and you're ready to drive, making this an excellent time-saving option compared to unpainted body shells.
- What makes the Factory Five '35 design special? — The Factory Five '35 Hot Rod Truck captures the iconic styling of authentic 1930s American hot rods, featuring classic proportions, detailed grille work, functional mirrors, and period-correct headlights and tail lights. This design stands out from modern RC vehicles and appeals to enthusiasts who appreciate vintage automotive styling and scale realism.
- How durable is the polycarbonate body? — Polycarbonate is the industry standard for RC body shells because it offers exceptional durability and impact resistance. It flexes rather than shatters when impacted, providing protection for your chassis and electronics. The material resists UV damage and maintains its finish quality over extended use, making it ideal for both track racing and outdoor bashing.
- What is the difference between this complete body and a bare body shell? — This complete body arrives fully assembled with all accessories (grille, mirrors, lights, foam pads) pre-installed and ready to mount. Bare body shells require you to source and install these components separately, paint the shell, and apply decals yourself. This complete package saves time, reduces the complexity of assembly, and ensures a professional finished appearance straight out of the box.
- Can I use this body on different chassis brands? — Whilst this body is engineered for the Traxxas 4-Tec platform, some RC enthusiasts have successfully fitted Factory Five bodies to other compatible 1/10 scale on-road chassis. However, fitment may not be perfect, and mounting hardware compatibility should be verified. For best results and guaranteed fitment, use this body with the Traxxas 4-Tec or confirmed compatible platforms.
