Key Features

• Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is manufactured from durable clear polycarbonate material, which is lightweight yet strong enough to withstand the demands of competitive racing and casual bashing. This material allows you to paint it in any colour scheme you choose, giving you complete creative control over your RC car's appearance.
• Fully Trimmed with Pre-drilled Holes — This bodyshell comes fully trimmed and pre-drilled with all necessary mounting holes for easy installation onto your XRT chassis. You won't need to spend hours carefully cutting and preparing the body; simply mount it straight onto your vehicle and start painting.
• Protective Overspray Film — A protective overspray film is applied to the body during manufacturing, which helps protect the clear shell during transportation and handling. This film is removed before painting, ensuring you have a pristine surface for your custom paint job.
• Window Masking Included — Professional-grade window masks are included in the box, allowing you to mask off the windows before painting. This ensures clean, professional-looking results without paint bleeding onto the clear windows, saving you hours of careful masking work.
• Decal Sheet Included — A full decal sheet is provided, giving you authentic Traxxas graphics and designs to apply over your paint job. These decals add the finishing touch and professional appearance to your custom bodywork.
• Compatible with Multiple XRT Models — This bodyshell is compatible with several XRT variants including the XRT VXL-8S in blue, orange, green, and black, plus the XRT Ultimate in green and blue, making it a versatile upgrade option for XRT owners across the UK.
• Traxxas ProGraphix Paint Compatible — The smooth, clear polycarbonate surface is specifically designed to work perfectly with Traxxas ProGraphix paint system, which delivers professional results even if you've never painted an RC body before.
• 1/7 Scale Truggy and Stadium Truck Design — Purpose-built for the 1/7 scale truggy and stadium truck segment, this bodyshell features authentic truck proportions and design elements that look aggressive and competitive on the track or the bash course.

Technical Performance

This clear bodyshell represents the pinnacle of Traxxas engineering for 1/7 scale truggy and stadium truck bodies. The polycarbonate material used in construction is carefully selected for its balance of flexibility and durability—it won't shatter under impact like cheaper plastic alternatives, yet remains rigid enough to maintain its shape during high-speed racing. The fully trimmed design with pre-drilled mounting holes means installation is straightforward and requires no modification to your XRT chassis. The protective overspray film applied during manufacturing protects the body during shipping and storage, but is easily removed to reveal a pristine painting surface. The included window masking system is professional-grade and designed to work seamlessly with standard RC body painting techniques. The decal sheet provides authentic Traxxas graphics that perfectly complement custom paint schemes. This bodyshell is engineered to fit perfectly on all compatible XRT models, maintaining the precise fitment and aerodynamic properties that Traxxas is renowned for. The clear colour allows full creativity in customisation whilst maintaining structural integrity through hundreds of hours of use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this bodyshell suitable for beginners wanting to paint their first RC body? — Absolutely. The clear polycarbonate construction is forgiving for first-time painters, and the included window masks remove the most difficult part of the painting process. Traxxas ProGraphix paint is specifically designed for easy application with professional results, making it ideal for those new to RC body customisation.
• What is the difference between this clear body and a pre-painted body shell? — Clear bodies like this one offer unlimited customisation possibilities—you choose the exact colour scheme and design. Pre-painted bodies are fixed designs. If you want a truly unique look for your 1/7 scale XRT truggy, a clear body is the way to go. You'll have an RC car that stands out from every other standard colour option available in the UK.
• Do I need special equipment to paint this bodyshell? — No special equipment is required. You can paint this body using brushes if you prefer, though spray equipment will typically give smoother results. Traxxas ProGraphix paint works with both methods, making it accessible whether you have a full paint shop or just want to paint in your garage.
• Will this bodyshell fit my XRT model? — This clear bodyshell is compatible with XRT VXL-8S models in blue, orange, green, and black, as well as XRT Ultimate models in green and blue. If you own one of these XRT variants, this body will fit perfectly thanks to the pre-drilled mounting holes and fully trimmed design.
• How durable is polycarbonate compared to other body materials? — Polycarbonate is one of the most durable materials used in RC bodies. It's impact-resistant, won't shatter easily, and can handle repeated collisions and bashings. This makes it ideal for both competitive racing and recreational RC use across the UK.
• What happens if I damage the bodyshell after painting? — If minor damage occurs, small cracks and dents can often be repaired with polycarbonate-specific epoxy adhesives. For major damage, having a replacement clear body available means you can quickly get back on the track with a new painted shell whilst repairs are attempted on the damaged one.
