Overview

The Traxxas Body, Stampede, ProGraphix is the perfect choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want to personalise their Stampede or Stampede VXL with a truly unique finish. This isn't a fully painted body shell — it's a customisation platform that puts creative control directly into your hands. The ProGraphix technology combines professionally printed graphics with a clear polycarbonate shell, allowing you to choose your own primary body colour while the detailed graphics remain factory-applied. Whether you're a weekend basher looking to refresh your RC car UK setup or a serious collector wanting to stand out from the crowd, this body shell offers professional results that rival factory paint jobs. The Traxxas Stampede is one of the most popular 1:10 scale RC stadium trucks and short course trucks on the market, and this body is the perfect way to give your truck a fresh, custom look.

What makes the ProGraphix body so appealing is the combination of factory precision with user customisation flexibility. You get the best of both worlds: professional-quality graphics that are fully printed and sealed, combined with the freedom to select any colour scheme you prefer for the main body panels. This approach ensures that even RC car beginners can achieve impressive, professional-looking results without requiring advanced painting skills. The body comes completely trimmed and ready to fit, with pre-drilled body post holes for straightforward installation on your Stampede or Stampede VXL platform.

Traxxas has engineered these bodies to help you stand out from the crowd with tough, colourful RC bodies that are built to withstand the rigours of regular bashing and racing. The polycarbonate construction provides excellent impact resistance, and the factory trimming means you're ready to move from unboxing to track in minutes. This is a genuine upgrade part from the world's leading RC manufacturer, designed to be compatible with both the standard Stampede and the powerful Stampede VXL brushless variant.

Key Features

• ProGraphix Printing Technology — The detailed graphics are fully printed directly onto the polycarbonate body shell at the factory, providing crisp, professional detail work that would be extremely difficult to achieve by hand or with decals alone. This ensures your graphics remain vibrant and durable throughout your RC car's life.
• Choose Your Own Colour — The centre panels and primary body surfaces are clear polycarbonate, allowing you to spray your chosen colour over them using Traxxas ProGraphix paint or any compatible RC body paint. This gives you complete creative freedom whilst the graphics remain perfectly positioned.
• Pre-Printed Graphics — Graphics come professionally pre-printed on the body shell, eliminating the tedious task of applying multiple decals by hand. Simply paint the clear sections and you're done — no alignment issues or decal bubbles to worry about.
• Included Decal Sheet — A full decal sheet is provided as backup or for alternative design options, giving you additional customisation flexibility. These can be applied to other parts of the body or kept as spares.
• Protective Overspray Film — A protective coating is pre-applied to the body shell for convenience, helping to shield the factory graphics during your painting and assembly process. This reduces the risk of accidental damage during customisation.
• Fully Trimmed and Ready — The body comes completely trimmed from the factory, with all necessary windows, vents and openings cut to precision. No further trimming or modelling skills are required.
• Pre-Drilled Body Post Holes — Factory pre-drilled mounting holes for body posts mean installation is straightforward and secure, with no guesswork about hole placement or potential misalignment.
• Easy Professional Results — Even first-time painters can achieve instant, professional-looking results by simply selecting a can of Traxxas ProGraphix paint and applying it to the clear sections. The factory-printed graphics guide your colour choice.
• Compatible with Multiple Models — This body fits both the Stampede and Stampede VXL, making it ideal if you're planning to upgrade or own both versions of this popular stadium truck.
• 1:10 Scale Stadium Truck Design — Engineered specifically for the Stampede platform, this body captures the aggressive styling of modern short-course racing trucks, giving your RC car an authentic, competitive appearance.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Stampede ProGraphix body is manufactured from polycarbonate, a material chosen specifically for its excellent impact resistance, durability and lightweight properties essential for RC vehicles. Polycarbonate is significantly tougher than standard plastic bodies, meaning it can handle regular bashing, crashes and track use without cracking or splitting easily. The 1:10 scale body is designed to fit the Stampede and Stampede VXL platforms — the VXL variant being the brushless electric version that delivers higher speeds and performance than the standard Stampede. The body's aerodynamic design is tailored for stadium truck and short-course truck racing, with proportions that match modern competitive RC vehicles. The factory trimming ensures that all body lines, window openings and design details are cut with precision, requiring no additional work before installation. The pre-drilled body post holes are positioned to align perfectly with the Stampede chassis, ensuring a secure fit without the need for measuring or adjusting hole positions. The protective overspray film applied during manufacturing safeguards the factory-printed graphics during your painting and assembly, though this should be removed before final installation. The ProGraphix printing process bonds graphics directly to the polycarbonate at the molecular level, creating a durable finish that won't peel, fade or separate under normal use. When you add your chosen colour using Traxxas ProGraphix paint or compatible alternatives, the result is a professional-grade custom body that's indistinguishable from factory-painted shells.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What's the difference between ProGraphix and a fully painted body? — ProGraphix bodies come with the detailed graphics pre-printed and sealed at the factory, but the main colour panels are clear polycarbonate that you paint yourself. This gives you complete creative control over the primary colour while guaranteeing professional-quality graphics. Fully painted bodies come completely finished but offer no customisation options. ProGraphix bodies are perfect if you want a unique, personalised look.
• Do I need special paint for this body? — Traxxas recommends using ProGraphix paint, which is specifically formulated to adhere to polycarbonate bodies and provides excellent durability. However, other quality RC body paints designed for polycarbonate will also work. Avoid using standard household or automotive paints, as these won't adhere properly and may damage the body.
• Will the graphics fade or peel off? — No. The ProGraphix printing process bonds the graphics directly to the polycarbonate at the factory, creating a permanent finish. The graphics are sealed beneath a protective layer and won't peel, fade or separate under normal bashing or racing conditions. They're as durable as factory-painted graphics.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This body is ideal for beginners because it combines factory-quality graphics (no decal application required) with simple DIY painting. If you can spray paint, you can achieve professional results. The protective overspray film helps prevent accidental damage during the painting process, and the clear sections make it obvious where your colour goes.
• Will this fit my Stampede VXL? — Yes. This body is officially compatible with both the standard Stampede and the Stampede VXL brushless variant. The VXL is the upgraded electric version with higher performance, and the body dimensions are identical between both models.
• What's included in the box? — You receive the polycarbonate body shell with pre-printed graphics, a complete decal sheet for additional customisation, and factory pre-drilled body post holes. You'll need to supply paint, body posts, and an existing Stampede chassis to complete the installation.
• Can I apply my own decals over the factory graphics? — Yes, the provided decal sheet gives you additional design options. You can apply these decals strategically over the printed graphics or onto other body sections to further personalise your truck. The factory graphics form a professional base, and additional decals can enhance the design further.
• How difficult is installation? — Installation is straightforward. The body comes fully trimmed with pre-drilled mounting holes, so it simply clips onto your existing Stampede chassis using standard body posts. No cutting, drilling or modification is required. The entire process takes just a few minutes.
• What colour should I choose? — That's entirely your choice. Popular options include white, red, blue, black, yellow and green — all available in Traxxas ProGraphix paint or other RC body paint ranges. The factory graphics work with virtually any colour scheme, so choose whatever matches your personal style or team colours.
• Do I need to remove the overspray film before painting? — The protective overspray film should remain on the body during painting to protect the factory graphics. Once your paint is fully cured and dry, you can carefully remove this film before final installation on your chassis.
