Overview
The Traxxas Body, XO-1, ProGraphix is a premium bodyshell replacement designed for the legendary Traxxas XO-1 high-performance RC car. This is not a ready-to-run body, but rather a sophisticated custom body kit that comes with professional graphics already printed onto the shell, giving you a head start on creating a truly unique appearance for your RC car UK setup. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to refresh your XO-1's look or someone seeking to customise their brushless RC vehicle with a professional-grade finish, this ProGraphix body offers exceptional value and creative potential.
What sets this body apart is the innovative ProGraphix approach—the graphics are pre-printed directly onto the shell, but the colour application is left to you, allowing complete creative control over the final aesthetic. This means you can choose your own colour scheme to complement the printed graphics, making each body truly one-of-a-kind. The kit includes everything needed for a professional installation, featuring a genuine Traxxas construction that guarantees perfect fit and durability on your XO-1 platform. For anyone serious about RC hobby excellence, this body represents an opportunity to elevate their vehicle's appearance while maintaining the reliability and precision that Traxxas is renowned for throughout the UK RC community.
This is an official Traxxas product designed specifically for the XO-1, one of the fastest and most capable RC vehicles ever produced. The body shell material is engineered to withstand the extreme speeds and performance capabilities of this legendary machine, whilst the included wing and uprights provide both functional aerodynamic benefits and aggressive styling that matches the vehicle's incredible performance credentials.
Key Features

Technical Performance
The Traxxas XO-1 body shell is manufactured from premium polycarbonate material, the same tough engineering plastic used in professional RC racing worldwide. This material provides an optimal balance between light weight for performance and structural rigidity for durability. The shell has been tested extensively to withstand the extreme aerodynamic forces, impacts, and vibrations generated by the XO-1's incredible 100+ mph performance capabilities. The included wing assembly is designed to provide measurable aerodynamic downforce, helping to keep the vehicle planted at extreme speeds whilst also enhancing the aggressive, race-car aesthetic. The mounting system uses precision-engineered attachment points that align perfectly with the XO-1's roll cage structure, ensuring there is no flexing or movement of the body during driving. The 2-piece wing uprights provide a sturdy, proven mounting solution that has been validated through countless hours of high-performance driving. The overall design reflects Traxxas's commitment to engineering excellence and attention to detail that has made them the leaders in high-performance RC vehicles across the UK hobby market and internationally.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What paint should I use on this ProGraphix body? — You should use polycarbonate-compatible paint, which is specially formulated to adhere properly to plastic bodies without cracking or peeling during driving. Traxxas offers dedicated polycarbonate paints that are ideal for this application, and many UK RC retailers stock compatible alternatives. Avoid standard acrylic paints, which will not provide adequate durability on moving RC car bodies.
- Is this body suitable for beginners? — This is more suitable for intermediate to advanced RC enthusiasts rather than absolute beginners. The ProGraphix system requires you to apply paint and final colour yourself, which demands some painting skill and access to appropriate materials. However, if you're willing to learn or already have experience with custom painting, this represents an excellent way to create a truly unique-looking RC car UK setup.
- Will this body fit my XO-1 perfectly? — Yes, as an official Traxxas product manufactured specifically for the XO-1, this body is engineered for perfect fitment. All mounting points are precisely aligned with the XO-1's chassis, and installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic RC maintenance and assembly.
- How long does it take to paint and finish this body? — This depends on your painting approach and skill level. Hand-painting with brushes typically requires 4-6 hours including multiple coats and drying time. If you use spray equipment and apply multiple thin coats, the process can be completed in 2-3 sessions over several days, allowing proper drying between coats. Adding clear protective coat adds additional time but significantly improves durability.
- Can I use airbrush techniques on this body? — Absolutely. Many advanced RC enthusiasts use airbrushes to apply polycarbonate paint to bodies like this, allowing for professional-quality results including gradient effects, detailed artwork, and smooth colour transitions. This method produces excellent results but requires airbrush equipment and experience.
- What makes ProGraphix different from a pre-painted body? — ProGraphix combines the best of both worlds: the graphics are already professionally printed onto the shell, saving you masking time and ensuring perfect graphic placement, but you retain complete control over the colour application. This allows you to choose colours that complement the printed graphics perfectly, creating a truly custom appearance rather than being limited to pre-selected colour schemes.
- Will the ProGraphix graphics show through my paint? — Yes, depending on your paint colour choice. Light colours or translucent paints will allow the printed graphics to show through beautifully, creating a layered effect. Darker or opaque colours will cover the graphics more completely, though you can still see them subtly beneath the colour. This is part of the creative process—you choose how much graphic visibility you want based on your colour selection.
- Is this compatible with standard XO-1 chassis and electronics? — Yes, this body is designed specifically for the Traxxas XO-1 and is fully compatible with all standard XO-1 chassis, motors, ESCs, batteries, and electronics. It is a direct replacement or upgrade bodyshell with no modifications needed to your existing setup.
