Overview
Introducing Pro-Line's Coyote body for the SCX24™ — a premium 1/24 scale rock crawler bodyshell that brings authentic styling and uncompromising performance to your Axial SCX24. Just like the larger Coyote for 12.3" crawlers, this mini-Coyote features a pinched front end and a dove-tailed rear end for maximum tyre clearance whilst still maintaining a true-to-scale, Late-80s domestic-style appearance that will turn heads at the rock crawling patch. Whether you're a seasoned RC car enthusiast looking to upgrade your SCX24 setup or a newcomer discovering the world of RC rock crawlers in the UK, this clear body shell offers everything you need to create a show-stopping scale crawler that performs as well as it looks.
The wheel openings have clearance for the largest SCX24™ tyres with no trimming needed, whilst the short overhangs provide best-in-class approach and departure angles — exactly what you need when tackling demanding terrain. The Coyote is manufactured from a single piece of crystal-clear polycarbonate to save on weight and features a molded-in drop-down bed, giving you room to add your favourite scale accessories and truly personalise your build. Everything on the Coyote body has been optimised for maximum crawling performance, making this the ideal choice for serious RC enthusiasts and weekend bashers alike. Don't get stuck on the rocks — get your very own Coyote body today and join the Pro-Line family of satisfied builders across the UK.
This is sold as a clear and unpainted body, giving you complete creative control over the final finish. The included detailed graphics, paint-then-peel overspray film, window mask sheet and decal sheet provide everything you need to get your Coyote crawl-ready in just four simple steps. No vehicle chassis is included with this product — you'll need an existing Axial SCX24 platform to mount this premium bodyshell onto.

Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Coyote High Performance Clear Body represents the cutting edge of 1/24 scale rock crawler body design, delivering exceptional performance characteristics that serious SCX24 enthusiasts demand. Measuring 7.45 inches (189mm) in length, 3.1 inches (79mm) in width, and 2.3 inches (58mm) in height, the Coyote offers the perfect balance of scale realism and functional performance. The 5.35-inch (136mm) wheelbase provides optimal weight distribution and articulation for technical terrain, whilst the pinched front end and dove-tailed rear configuration work in harmony to maximise usable tyre clearance without sacrificing approach and departure angles. This engineering philosophy ensures that your SCX24 can compress fully over obstacles, articulate aggressively over rocks and uneven terrain, and maintain steering geometry that doesn't bind or cause unpredictable handling. The single-piece polycarbonate construction eliminates panel gaps and structural weak points, delivering a rigid yet lightweight shell that maintains its shape through countless impact events. The crystal-clear polycarbonate material provides excellent durability against UV exposure and weathering, meaning your finished Coyote will maintain its appearance season after season of outdoor rock crawling. The molded-in drop-down bed design adds rigidity to the structure whilst providing creative space for scale details and accessories, enabling builders to create trucks with depth and personality. Whether you're competing in formal SCX24 rock crawling events, weekend bashing with friends, or exploring your local terrain, this body shell delivers the performance engineering and design excellence that Pro-Line is recognised for throughout the RC community in the UK and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Pro-Line Coyote body suitable for beginners building their first SCX24 rock crawler? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst the Coyote is designed for serious performance, the body itself is straightforward to paint and apply. The included paint-then-peel overspray film eliminates complex masking, and the decal sheet provides an easy way to achieve professional-looking results. Beginners should allow extra time for careful paint application and decal placement, but there are no mechanical complexities involved. The body simply mounts onto an existing SCX24 chassis, making it ideal for anyone wanting to upgrade or customise their truck without tackling mechanical modifications.
- What makes the Coyote's design better than other SCX24 body shells? — The Coyote's pinched front end and dove-tailed rear are specifically engineered to maximise tyre clearance whilst maintaining exceptional approach and departure angles — something many generic crawler bodies compromise on. The short overhangs provide best-in-class performance characteristics, and the molded-in drop-down bed adds structural rigidity whilst enabling creative personalisation. Additionally, Pro-Line's manufacturing heritage dating back to 1982 ensures quality standards that newer competitors simply haven't developed yet. If you're serious about rock crawling performance, the Coyote delivers engineering excellence that justifies the investment.
- Do I need to trim this body to fit my SCX24? — No, the wheel openings have been engineered to provide clearance for the largest SCX24 tyres with absolutely no trimming required. This is a significant advantage over generic bodies that often require careful cutting and can result in structural compromise. You can mount the Coyote onto your chassis with complete confidence.
- What painting and finishing advice would you recommend for the clear Coyote body? — Start by thoroughly cleaning the clear polycarbonate shell with mild soap and water, then dry completely. Apply the included window mask sheet carefully to protect glazed areas. Apply your chosen polycarbonate paint in thin, even coats — avoid heavy single coats that can lead to runs and drips. The included paint-then-peel overspray film eliminates the need for detailed masking, so you can paint more freely. Once paint is fully cured (typically 24 hours), carefully peel away the overspray film to reveal clean edges. Apply the included decal sheet for graphics and details, then consider sealing with a clear polycarbonate protective coat for increased durability and UV resistance. Allow all coatings to cure fully before mounting onto your chassis to avoid paint damage during fitting.
- Can I use this body on different SCX24 models from different manufacturers? — This body is engineered exclusively for Axial SCX24 platforms. Whilst it will not fit on SCX24 competitors from other manufacturers, it is fully compatible with all Axial SCX24 variants and ready-to-run models, including JLU variants, Chevrolet C10 trucks, Lexus GX 470 models, Base Camp editions, Ford Bronco models, Toyota 4Runner variants, and the Deadbolt rock crawler. If you own an Axial SCX24 in any colour or variant, this body will fit perfectly.
- What are the actual dimensions and will my finished model look to scale? — The Coyote measures 7.45 inches (189mm) long, 3.1 inches (79mm) wide, and 2.3 inches (58mm) tall, with a wheelbase of 5.35 inches (136mm). At 1/24 scale, these proportions accurately represent a full-size domestic pickup truck from the Late 1980s, delivering authentic styling that looks genuinely scale-correct. The late-80s appearance will give your SCX24 a distinctive vintage aesthetic that stands out at the rock crawling patch.
- Is this a painted body or do I need to paint it myself? — This is sold as a clear, unpainted body shell. The transparency allows the polycarbonate to remain lightweight whilst giving you complete creative control over the final colour scheme and design. The included masking film, window mask, and decal sheet make the painting process straightforward even for first-time builders, and the unpainted format keeps the cost accessible whilst allowing unlimited customisation possibilities.
- What is the approximate weight and will it affect my SCX24's performance? — The single-piece polycarbonate construction ensures minimal weight compared to bodies made from multiple materials or thicker materials. The lightweight design actually enhances performance by keeping your centre of gravity low and improving articulation over obstacles. Weight specifications are not provided by the manufacturer, but the weight penalty compared to stock bodies is negligible — in fact, many builders report improved crawling performance due to the optimised shell geometry and reduced unnecessary material.
- Where can I find inspiration for painting schemes and customisation ideas? — Pro-Line encourages all builders to submit their finished models to Reader's Rides on the Pro-Line website, where the community shares photos and ideas. You can browse these galleries for inspiration before starting your own build. Additionally, YouTube features countless SCX24 build logs and customisation tutorials that showcase different painting techniques and creative ideas for the Coyote body.
