Key Features

• Fully Trimmed and Ready to Paint — The body arrives completely trimmed, meaning all the hard work of cutting windows, wheel arches, and mounting points is already done for you, allowing you to focus entirely on painting and designing your custom look.
• Clear Polycarbonate Construction — Made from durable polycarbonate material, this bodyshell is lightweight yet tough enough to withstand the demands of RC bashers and serious racers alike, providing excellent impact resistance during crashes.
• Pre-Applied Overspray Film — A protective overspray film is already applied to the body, protecting the inner surfaces from paint overspray and ensuring a professional finish on both the outside and inside of your custom design.
• Window Masking Included — Pre-cut window masking is supplied in the box, making it easy to achieve clean, professional-looking window edges without the tedious work of applying masking tape yourself.
• Grille and Lights Decal Sheet — A comprehensive decal sheet featuring grille and lights designs is included, allowing you to add authentic detail without requiring advanced hand-painting skills or additional purchases.
• Compatible with 1:16 E-Revo Models — This body is specifically designed for the Traxxas E-Revo VXL 1:16 4x4 RTR brushless monster trucks, ensuring a perfect fit every time with no modifications required.
• Pre-Drilled Body Holes — The bodyshell features pre-drilled mounting holes, eliminating the need to carefully drill your own holes and risking damage to the clear shell during installation.
• Personal Canvas Design Philosophy — Traxxas clear bodies are intentionally designed as a blank canvas, giving you the freedom to choose any colour, pattern, or design scheme that matches your personal style and preferences.
• Works with ProGraphix Paint System — Designed specifically to work seamlessly with Traxxas ProGraphix paint, a dedicated paint system that delivers professional results and optimal adhesion on polycarbonate bodies.

Technical Performance

This clear polycarbonate bodyshell represents the engineering excellence Traxxas is recognised for across the UK RC market and globally. The 1:16 scale dimensions are precision-engineered to fit the E-Revo VXL models perfectly, with every detail from the aggressive grille to the authentic light positions captured in the moulding. The polycarbonate material selection is critical — it provides the ideal balance of impact resistance for bashers and weight efficiency for performance. At 1:16 scale, this body maintains the proportion and visual impact of the full-size monster truck aesthetic whilst remaining lightweight enough not to compromise the brushless motor's acceleration and top speed capabilities. The pre-applied overspray film and protective masking demonstrate Traxxas's commitment to user experience; these included items would typically require separate purchases from other manufacturers. The body works with the VXL-3M brushless electronic speed control found in compatible E-Revo models, meaning your high-performance brushless setup won't be compromised by inadequate aerodynamic design. The clear shell allows the sophisticated internal components and innovative suspension engineering of the E-Revo to remain visible — a feature many RC enthusiasts appreciate as it showcases the quality build inside.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use this body on any 1:16 RC monster truck or is it E-Revo specific? — This bodyshell is specifically designed for the Traxxas E-Revo VXL 1:16 4x4 RTR brushless models and won't fit other 1:16 chassis due to unique mounting hole placements and dimensional specifications. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing, particularly if you own an older or different variant of the E-Revo.
• What paint should I use on this clear polycarbonate body? — Traxxas ProGraphix paint is the recommended choice as it's specifically formulated to adhere perfectly to polycarbonate and deliver professional results. Other acrylic or polycarbonate-specific RC body paints from recognised UK hobby brands will also work, but ProGraphix offers the best colour coverage, durability, and finish quality for this application.
• Is painting an RC body difficult for beginners? — Not at all, especially with this fully-trimmed body and included masking. Beginners should start with brush painting using ProGraphix paint, which is very forgiving. The pre-applied overspray film protects your chassis, and the window masking eliminates one of the trickiest parts of the process. Many UK RC hobbyists find their first body painting experience surprisingly rewarding with this complete kit.
• Do I need to trim or drill this body myself? — No, this is one of the key advantages. The body comes fully trimmed with pre-drilled mounting holes, so you can go straight to painting. This saves hours of preparation time compared to generic clear bodies and significantly reduces the risk of accidentally damaging the shell during trimming.
• Can I use this body to replace my damaged E-Revo body? — Yes, absolutely. This is one of the most common uses for replacement bodies in the UK RC community. If your current body is cracked, scratched, or simply worn out, this Traxxas genuine part will give your truck a complete refresh whilst maintaining perfect fitment and compatibility with your existing chassis and electronics.
• What's included in the grille and lights decal sheet? — The decal sheet provides realistic grille and lights designs that you can apply after painting. These add authentic detail to your custom paintwork, allowing you to create a fully finished look without needing advanced hand-painting skills or graphic design knowledge.
• Is the polycarbonate durable enough for serious bashing? — Yes, polycarbonate is an excellent material choice for both casual bashers and competitive racers. It provides good impact resistance to handle crashes and rough terrain whilst remaining lightweight. That said, like any RC body, it can eventually crack or scratch with heavy use, which is why having replacement bodies available is valuable for serious hobbyists.
• Will this body fit the purple and blue X E-Revo models? — Yes, this clear body is compatible with both the Traxxas E-Revo VXL 1:16 4x4 RTR Brushless VXL-3M Monster Truck in purple (TRX71076-8-PRPL) and the blue X variant (TRX71076-8-BLUEX), with no modifications required.
