- Pre-Cut for Convenience — Unlike many aftermarket RC bodies that require hours of careful cutting with a hobby knife, this body arrives pre-cut and ready for painting, saving you significant preparation time and reducing the risk of accidental damage.
- High-Quality Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from premium crystal clear polycarbonate material that is durable enough for serious bashing whilst remaining light enough to maintain the performance characteristics of your X-MAXX, ensuring you get the best of both worlds.
- Paint-Then-Peel Overspray Film Built-In — This innovative feature allows you to apply your custom paint without worrying about overspray damaging areas you want to keep clear, then simply peel away the protective film after painting for a professional finish every time.
- Detailed Decal Sheet Included — A comprehensive sticker sheet is provided with authentic period-correct graphics and details that complement the 1956 Ford styling, allowing you to complete the look without hunting down obscure decals online.
- Window Masks Included — Professional-grade window masks are supplied to protect the clear polycarbonate window areas during painting, ensuring clean lines and a truly professional appearance on your finished RC truck body.

Technical Performance
This Pro-Line 1956 Ford F-100 body is engineered to deliver outstanding performance on your Traxxas X-MAXX whilst maintaining the authentic scale appearance of a classic American truck. The body measures 27.0 inches in length (686 mm), 10.8 inches in width (275 mm), and 9.5 inches in height (241 mm), with an 8.9-inch wheelbase (480 mm), ensuring perfect proportions that look genuinely scale-correct. Manufactured from crystal clear polycarbonate, the material provides the ideal balance of durability and weight — tough enough for serious RC bashing yet lightweight enough that it won't compromise the acceleration and handling characteristics of your X-MAXX's brushless 8S LiPo drivetrain. The pre-cut design eliminates the need for time-consuming trimming whilst maintaining structural integrity and precise fitment. The included paint-then-peel overspray film and window masks demonstrate Pro-Line's attention to detail in delivering a complete customisation experience. At a 1/7 scale (note: one source indicates 1/6 scale whilst the manufacturer specifies 1/5 — the manufacturer specification takes precedence), this body provides excellent visibility when driving your RC truck whilst maintaining impressive scale fidelity. Whether you're planning to bash this truck at the local skate park or run it at an organised RC event, the professional-grade materials and precision engineering ensure your finished truck will perform as well as it looks.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What X-MAXX models is this body compatible with? — This Pro-Line 1956 Ford F-100 body is designed to fit all Traxxas X-MAXX variants, including the X-MAXX Belted 4WD Brushless RTR in Orange, Blue, Red, and Green, as well as the X-MAXX Ultimate in Blue X and Green X versions. The body mounts perfectly without any modifications required.
- Is this body pre-cut and ready to paint? — Yes, absolutely. Unlike traditional RC bodies that require careful cutting with a hobby knife, this Pro-Line body arrives pre-cut and ready for painting, saving you hours of preparation time. Once you've applied your custom paint scheme and allowed it to cure properly, you can mount it directly onto your X-MAXX chassis.
- Does this come as a painted body or do I need to paint it? — This is sold exclusively as a clear, unpainted body shell. Pro-Line provides this as a blank canvas so you can create your own completely custom paint scheme. The crystal clear polycarbonate allows your creativity to shine through, and the included overspray film and window masks make the painting process straightforward and professional-looking.
- What paint should I use on this polycarbonate body? — You should use paint specifically designed for polycarbonate RC bodies, as standard spray paints may not adhere properly or could cause the material to become brittle. Polycarbonate-specific automotive or hobby paints are available from RC retailers and will provide the best adhesion and durability for your finished truck.
- Can I use this body on any other RC truck? — No, this body is specifically engineered for the Traxxas X-MAXX platform and is designed to fit the unique dimensions and mounting points of that chassis. Using it on other trucks could result in poor fitment and potential damage to both the body and chassis.
- How do I prepare this body for painting? — First, clean the body thoroughly with warm water and mild soap, then dry it completely. Apply the included window mask sheet to protect the clear areas you want to keep transparent. Then apply your chosen colour of polycarbonate paint, allowing proper drying time between coats. Once fully cured, carefully peel away the paint-then-peel overspray film that was built into the body to reveal perfectly clean edges.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This body is suitable for intermediate RC enthusiasts with some experience in customising their RC trucks. Whilst the pre-cut design makes assembly straightforward, painting a polycarbonate RC body to professional standards does require some care and attention to detail. Beginners may want to watch tutorial videos or seek advice from experienced RC builders before attempting their first custom paint job.
- What is the advantage of this 1956 Ford F-100 body over generic truck bodies? — This body carries official Ford Motor Company licensing, ensuring authentic period-correct styling that simply cannot be matched by generic alternatives. The custom hot-rod extended cab, aggressive fender flares, and iconic chrome grille details are all licensed and precision-engineered by Pro-Line, a company with over 40 years of experience crafting premium RC bodies in the USA.
- Can I apply decals to this body myself? — Yes, the included comprehensive decal sheet allows you to add period-correct graphics and details to your finished body. Application is straightforward — simply cut out the decals you want to use, carefully position them on your painted body, and apply them following the included instructions. The detailed sticker sheet covers all the major details needed to complete an authentic 1956 Ford F-100 look.
- What is the wheelbase measurement of this body? — The wheelbase measures 8.9 inches (480 mm), which is perfectly proportioned for the X-MAXX chassis and ensures that the body sits correctly with proper weight distribution across the truck's suspension.
