Key Features
- Cab-Forward Design with Enhanced Steering Response — The innovative cab-forward geometry provides superior steering response and handling characteristics, giving you more precise control during competitive racing and allowing your RC truck to turn in faster with better front-end grip and cornering performance.
- Ideal Side-Bite Balance Through Side Ridge Design — The integrated side ridges balance out the rear section of the car, creating the ideal side-bite characteristics that professional racers demand for consistent performance through technical sections of the track.
- Clean-Sheet CAD Design Technology — Every detail of the Axis T has been engineered using the latest computer-aided design technology, ensuring optimal aerodynamics, fit, and performance characteristics that give you a competitive edge on the track.
- Ultra-Low-Slung Profile with Sharp Lines — The aggressive low-slung stance combined with sharp, intentional lines throughout the body creates an unmistakable visual identity while contributing to improved aerodynamic efficiency and stability at racing speeds.
- Perfect Motor and Electronics Clearance — The rear section has been specifically designed with the right amount of clearance for your motor and electronic components, and it fits perfectly behind the front shock tower of your race truck without any interference or modification issues.
- Paint-Then-Peel Overspray Film Built-In — A protective paint-then-peel overspray film comes pre-applied to the body, allowing you to paint directly onto the body without worrying about over-spray on unwanted areas, then simply peel away the film for a professional finish with sharp paint lines.
- Crystal Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from premium crystal clear polycarbonate material, providing excellent impact resistance, durability, and optical clarity that showcases your chassis components while allowing customisation through painting and decoration.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line's heritage of manufacturing quality RC bodies in the USA for over four decades ensures you're purchasing a product with proven engineering, reliability, and attention to detail that serious racers trust.
- Included Window Masks for Easy Painting — Professional-grade window masks are included in the package, allowing you to mask off the windows before painting so you can achieve clean, professional paint lines without the need for additional masking materials.

Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Axis T Bruggy body represents the pinnacle of 1/8 truck body shell engineering, combining aerodynamic design principles with proven racing performance. This crystal clear polycarbonate shell measures 16.9 inches (430mm) in length, 7.78 inches (197mm) in width, and stands 4.05 inches (103mm) high, with a wheelbase of 14.7 inches (373mm), making it compatible with multiple leading 1/8 truck platforms including the Team Losi Racing 8ight-XT/E, the Associated RC10T3.2/E (with minor trimming), and the Mugen MBX8T/E (with trimming). The body's construction from premium crystal clear polycarbonate ensures excellent durability whilst maintaining optical clarity for showcasing your chassis and components. The included paint-then-peel overspray film provides professional-level masking during the painting process, eliminating the need for separate masking tape and ensuring crisp, clean paint lines. As a clear body, it requires no finishing before installation—simply clean, mask the windows, apply your chosen paint colour through the overspray film, then peel away the film to reveal a professional result. The design has been optimised for both on-road and off-road racing applications, offering the low profile and sharp lines demanded by competitive racers in the UK and worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which 1/8 truck chassis does the Axis T Bruggy body fit? — The Pro-Line Axis T Bruggy clear body is designed to fit the Team Losi Racing 8ight-XT/E directly without modification. It also fits the Associated RC10T3.2/E and Mugen MBX8T/E platforms, though these require minor trimming to achieve the perfect fit. If you own one of these platforms, the Axis T offers excellent compatibility and represents a fantastic upgrade option for your RC racing truck.
- Is this a painted or clear body? — The Axis T Bruggy is sold as a clear, unpainted body. This gives you complete creative control over the final colour and design of your RC truck. The included paint-then-peel overspray film makes the painting process simple and professional—you simply clean the body, apply the window masks, paint through the overspray film, and then peel away the film to reveal clean paint lines without any over-spray.
- What paint should I use on this RC body? — You should use polycarbonate-specific paint designed for RC body shells. Never use standard automotive paint or acrylic paints, as these will not adhere properly to the polycarbonate material. Pro-Line and other specialist RC manufacturers produce dedicated body paints in a wide range of colours that are formulated to bond correctly with polycarbonate whilst remaining flexible and durable during racing.
- Does this body shell require any modification to fit my truck? — The Axis T fits the Team Losi Racing 8ight-XT/E without any modification. If you're using an Associated RC10T3.2/E or Mugen MBX8T/E platform, you will need to perform minor trimming to achieve the ideal fit. For other platforms, additional modifications may be necessary. Always check the specific compatibility details for your chassis model.
- What makes the Axis T design different from other 1/8 truck bodies? — The Axis T Bruggy is a clean-sheet design created entirely from scratch using modern CAD technology, rather than being a variation on an existing body. This means every aspect—from the cab-forward geometry to the side ridge design—has been engineered specifically for enhanced steering response and ideal side-bite characteristics. The ultra-low-slung profile with sharp lines gives it a distinctive appearance that stands out on the track compared to older body designs.
- What is included when I purchase this body? — Your purchase includes the Axis T Bruggy Edition clear body shell, one set of professional window masks for painting, and a complete decal sheet with multiple design options. Everything you need to prepare the body for painting and decoration is included in the package.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes and no—while the body shell itself is straightforward to install on a compatible chassis, painting and decorating an RC body requires some experience and proper materials. Beginners should be prepared to invest in polycarbonate-specific paint and take time to follow proper painting procedures. However, the included overspray film and masks make the process much simpler than it would be without these tools. If you're new to painting RC bodies, we recommend watching tutorial videos and taking your time with the painting process.
- Will this body fit my specific truck model? — The Axis T Bruggy is confirmed compatible with the Team Losi Racing 8ight-XT/E (TLR04009), the Associated RCT3.2/E (ASC80944) with minor trimming, and the Mugen MBX8T/E (MUGE2024 / MUGE2023) with trimming. If your truck model is not listed here, it will not fit without significant modification. Always verify compatibility with your specific chassis before purchasing.
- How durable is the clear polycarbonate material? — Polycarbonate is an excellent material for RC bodies, offering superior impact resistance compared to many other plastics. It's durable enough for serious racing applications whilst remaining lightweight. However, it can crack under extreme impacts, so it's worth keeping a spare body or repair materials on hand if you race competitively.
