Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this heavy-duty body suitable for beginners new to RC painting? — Absolutely. This body is ideal for beginners because it comes fully trimmed, pre-drilled, and includes window masking and decals. The pre-applied overspray film removes one of the trickiest parts of body preparation, making it much easier to achieve professional results even if you've never painted an RC body before. Combined with Traxxas ProGraphix paint, which is specifically designed for ease of use, this is one of the most beginner-friendly body painting projects available in the UK RC market.
• What paint should I use on this clear Maxxbody? — Traxxas recommends using Traxxas ProGraphix paint, which is specifically formulated for polycarbonate RC bodies and delivers professional quality results with excellent adhesion and durability. ProGraphix paint is available in numerous colours and finishes, making it easy to achieve your desired look. You can also use other high-quality polycarbonate-compatible paints, but ProGraphix is the manufacturer's recommended choice and offers the best compatibility.
• Does this body come trimmed and ready to use? — Yes, this body is fully trimmed and ready to paint. Unlike some untrimmed alternatives, you don't need to spend hours cutting edges or drilling holes — it arrives ready for masking and painting, which significantly reduces preparation time.
• What is the difference between this heavy-duty body and standard Maxx bodies? — The heavy-duty specification indicates this body uses thicker, more durable polycarbonate material that provides superior impact resistance and longevity. Heavy-duty bodies can withstand more aggressive driving, jumps, and crashes without sustaining damage. If you bash hard or race competitively, the heavy-duty option is worth the investment for extended lifespan and reliability.
• Will this body fit my Maxx truck? — This body is compatible with the first generation V1 narrow Maxx only. If you have an original narrow Maxx, this body will fit perfectly with pre-drilled holes aligning with your chassis. If you have a different generation or model variant, please verify compatibility before purchasing.
