Key Features

• Tough Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, a proven compound that withstands the rigours of high-speed driving, impacts, and outdoor conditions whilst remaining lightweight enough to maintain optimal performance and handling characteristics.
• ProGraphix Premium Paint Finish — Traxxas ProGraphix paint represents the gold standard in RC body finishing, providing a vibrant, professional-quality finish that resists fading and maintains its lustre through extensive use and exposure to sunlight.
• Pre-Applied Decals — The authentic Traxxas decal set comes pre-applied from the factory, saving you hours of painstaking work and ensuring perfect alignment and a showroom-quality appearance right out of the box.
• Front Body Mounts Pre-Installed — The front mounting hardware is already assembled and ready to connect to your X-Maxx chassis, eliminating guesswork and ensuring secure, properly aligned attachment that maintains structural integrity during aggressive driving.
• Rear Body Mounts Pre-Installed — Rear mounting points are factory-fitted, providing stable body positioning and preventing unwanted movement or vibration that could compromise handling or cause the body to shift during high-speed cornering.
• Roof Skid Plate Included — The integrated roof skid plate offers additional protection against impacts and roll-overs, safeguarding the delicate paint finish and preventing damage from obstacles during off-road or rough terrain driving.
• Rear Body Support Pre-Installed — This structural reinforcement maintains the body's shape and integrity, particularly important during aggressive driving or when navigating obstacles that might otherwise cause flexing or deformation.
• Tailgate Protector Fitted — The tailgate protector prevents damage to this prominent styling feature, maintaining the body's aesthetic appeal whilst protecting against scratches, impacts, and wear from regular use.
• 1/7 Scale Design — At 1/7 scale, this body is specifically engineered for the X-Maxx platform, ensuring perfect fitment and proportional accuracy that reflects the real-world vehicles that inspire these impressive models.
• Factory-Assembled for Immediate Use — Unlike bodies requiring assembly, this unit arrives completely prepared, allowing you to mount it to your chassis and hit the track or bashing spot within minutes rather than hours.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas X-Maxx Ultimate body represents cutting-edge engineering in the 1/7 scale RC monster truck category. Manufactured from premium polycarbonate, the bodyshell offers an optimal balance between weight and durability, ensuring that your brushless RC truck maintains its impressive acceleration and handling characteristics without the burden of excessive mass. The polycarbonate material has been specifically selected for its impact resistance, UV stability, and flexibility — properties that allow the body to absorb minor impacts without cracking whilst resisting the degradation caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight. The ProGraphix paint system Traxxas employs provides exceptional colour saturation and depth, creating a finish that appears almost metallic in certain lighting conditions, whilst the pre-applied factory decals ensure alignment precision that would be extremely difficult to achieve during home application. The roof skid plate, rear body support, and tailgate protector are engineered from the same durable polycarbonate, providing integrated protection without requiring additional components or modification. This body is compatible with the full X-Maxx range, including the Traxxas X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck models and the X-Maxx Ultimate variants, making it a versatile upgrade option for multiple platform configurations across the X-Maxx family.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this body compatible with all X-Maxx models? — This body is compatible with the Traxxas X-Maxx range, including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck (red, green, orange, and blue variants) and the X-Maxx Ultimate models (green X and blue X configurations). Always verify your specific chassis model before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
• How is the paint finish applied at the factory? — The bodyshell arrives with ProGraphix premium paint applied by Traxxas at their manufacturing facility, combined with factory-applied decals that ensure perfect alignment and professional quality. This eliminates the need for home painting or decal application, saving you significant time and effort.
• What protection does the roof skid plate provide? — The roof skid plate is a structural component that guards against damage from roof impacts and roll-overs, preventing scratches and dents to the painted finish and helping maintain the body's aesthetic appeal through extended use in rough terrain or competitive environments.
• Do I need to assemble this body when it arrives? — No. This body is fully assembled with all mounting hardware, the roof skid plate, rear body support, and tailgate protector already installed and ready to connect to your X-Maxx chassis. You simply need to bolt the body to your existing frame.
• Can I use this body as a replacement if my original is damaged? — Yes. This body is designed as a direct replacement for damaged X-Maxx bodies, and it's equally suited as an upgrade to refresh your truck's appearance. The pre-installed mounts and support components make installation straightforward.
• What is the difference between this X-Maxx Ultimate body and standard X-Maxx bodies? — The X-Maxx Ultimate body comes fully assembled with integrated roof skid plate, rear body support, and tailgate protector, whereas standard X-Maxx bodies may require additional component installation. The Ultimate version is designed for maximum convenience and immediate readiness.
• Is the blue colour a metallic or solid finish? — The blue finish is achieved through Traxxas's ProGraphix paint system, which provides exceptional colour depth and a premium appearance. The exact finish characteristics (metallic properties) are consistent with Traxxas's professional paint standards.
• Will the pre-applied decals stay on during aggressive driving? — Factory-applied Traxxas decals are designed for durability and adhesion. However, extreme impacts, crashes, or prolonged contact with abrasive surfaces may eventually affect decal appearance. Normal recreational driving and bashing should not compromise the decal integrity.
