The bodyshell comes fully trimmed with pre-drilled body holes for easy mounting, saving you time and ensuring perfect fitment on your Maxx. A protective overspray film is pre-applied to the body to prevent overspray and paint damage during the painting process. This thoughtful inclusion demonstrates Traxxas's commitment to customer satisfaction and ease of use. Combined with the included window masking and decal sheet, you have everything you need to transform your RC monster truck into a show-stopper that turns heads at the track or on the trails.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Maxx heavy-duty clear body represents the pinnacle of polycarbonate bodyshell engineering for 1/10 scale RC trucks. Constructed from high-grade polycarbonate material, this shell delivers exceptional durability and impact resistance that withstands the punishment of aggressive RC driving. The heavy-duty specification ensures the body can handle high-speed impacts, jumps, and rough terrain without flexing excessively or sustaining damage.

UK RC car enthusiasts appreciate the attention to detail that Traxxas brings to this product — every aspect has been engineered to reduce preparation time and maximise your enjoyment. The pre-applied overspray film is a game-changer for anyone planning to paint their body with ProGraphix paint system, as it prevents paint from seeping underneath and maintains crisp, clean lines. The included window masking ensures you can achieve professional transparency without paint contamination, whilst the decal sheet provides an easy way to add finishing touches.

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.
- What's included for customisation? — The kit includes window masking materials to keep paint out of transparent areas, and a full decal sheet so you can add graphics and designs once painting is complete. The pre-applied overspray film also protects the body during painting, helping you achieve professional results.
