Technical Performance
The Traxxas Maxx Clear Bodyshell is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate, a material chosen by professional RC manufacturers worldwide for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to impact. The 1/10 scale body is designed with careful attention to aerodynamic principles, ensuring minimal wind resistance during high-speed runs whilst maintaining a realistic truck profile. The clear polycarbonate material allows light transmission through the windows whilst maintaining structural integrity, and the included protective overspray film means the shell arrives in showroom condition. The pre-drilled mounting holes are precisely positioned to align with your Maxx chassis, eliminating guesswork during installation. Window masks are manufactured with accuracy to fit the contours of the body's window openings, ensuring clean masking lines and professional results when painting. The polycarbonate material is proven to resist UV fading and maintains its clarity over extended use, even when exposed to sunlight during outdoor RC racing sessions. For UK RC enthusiasts using Traxxas ProGraphix paint, the polycarbonate surface provides excellent paint adhesion and durability, ensuring your custom colour scheme remains vibrant through countless bashing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to paint this body shell? — Yes, this is an un-painted clear polycarbonate body shell, so painting is required. The advantage is complete creative freedom to design your own colour scheme and graphics. Traxxas ProGraphix paint is specifically formulated for polycarbonate shells and delivers professional results with excellent durability for RC car UK applications.
- What paint should I use on this clear polycarbonate body? — Traxxas ProGraphix paint is the recommended choice for this shell. It's specifically formulated for polycarbonate construction, providing excellent adhesion, durability, and a professional finish. The paint is resistant to the elements and maintains its colour through extensive RC driving sessions.
- Is this body shell suitable for beginners? — The body shell itself is easy to mount thanks to pre-drilled holes and full trimming. However, painting and decorating require some skill and patience. If you're new to customising RC bodies, we recommend watching tutorial videos or seeking advice from experienced RC enthusiasts before starting your project. The included window masks and decals make the process more straightforward than painting from scratch.
- What does the protective overspray film do? — The factory-applied overspray film protects the polycarbonate during manufacturing and shipping. Simply peel it away before painting to reveal a pristine surface. This film prevents scratches, dust, and minor damage during handling, ensuring your body shell is in perfect condition when you receive it.
- Will the window masks fit perfectly? — Yes, the window masks are moulded specifically to match the contours of the Maxx body shell's window openings. They're designed for precise fitment to ensure clean masking lines and professional paint results without overspray on the transparent areas.
- Can I use this body on other Traxxas 1/10 scale trucks? — This shell is specifically designed for the Traxxas Maxx. While the scale is 1/10, it's engineered to fit the Maxx's unique chassis and mounting points, so it may not be compatible with other Traxxas models without modification.
- How do I mount this body to my Maxx chassis? — The body shell comes with pre-drilled holes that align perfectly with your Maxx's body posts and mounting hardware. Simply position the shell and secure it using your existing body mounting clips and hardware. No drilling or modification is required.
- What's included in the decal sheet? — The decal sheet provides custom graphics and Traxxas branding options that you can apply to your finished paintwork. This allows you to add professional-looking detail work without the need for additional graphic design skills.
