Key Features

• Clear polycarbonate construction — The translucent polycarbonate material allows you to see inside the truck while giving you a pristine surface for your custom paint job, ensuring that your design choices become the focal point of your build.
• Fully trimmed and paint-ready — The body arrives with all necessary trimming already completed, saving you hours of preparation time and allowing you to move straight to the painting stage without frustration or waste.
• Included decal sheet — A professional decal set is supplied with the body, giving you authentic BIGFOOT No. 8 graphics that you can apply exactly as intended or modify to suit your custom colour scheme.
• Pre-applied overspray film protection — A protective overspray film comes factory-applied to prevent paint overspray from reaching unwanted areas, allowing you to paint with confidence and precision without masking off every edge manually.
• Window masking included — Professional window masks are provided to ensure clean paint lines around the windows, giving your finished body a polished, professional appearance without tape residue or paint bleed.
• Compatible with ProGraphix® paint — The body is specifically designed for use with Traxxas ProGraphix water-based acrylic paint, which delivers professional-quality results and is easier to work with than traditional RC paints.
• Iconic BIGFOOT design — The BIGFOOT No. 8 4x4 platform is legendary in the RC world, instantly recognisable and beloved by enthusiasts, making this body an excellent choice for creating a show-stopping machine.
• Clipless mounting compatibility — This body is designed for use with modern clipless mounting systems, offering a cleaner look and easier body changes when you want to swap between different designs.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas BIGFOOT No. 8 clear body is engineered from durable polycarbonate material that combines lightweight properties with excellent impact resistance, essential for surviving aggressive bashing and off-road use. As a 1/10 scale truck body, it's proportioned to fit standard 1/10 scale chassis and components, making it compatible with popular Traxxas platforms and other 1/10 4WD monster truck builds. The body requires the Traxxas 9047 body support and 9040 body mounts (sold separately) for complete installation, ensuring a secure fit and reliable performance during high-speed runs. The polycarbonate construction allows light to pass through while providing structural integrity, and the pre-applied overspray film protects crucial internal areas during the painting process. The clear finish means that once painted with ProGraphix® paint—which adheres excellently to polycarbonate—you'll achieve a finish that matches factory-quality truck bodies. The included window masks ensure crisp, clean lines around the windows, while the decal sheet provides authentic BIGFOOT graphics that enhance the classic truck aesthetic. Whether you're building a competitive RC truck or a weekend basher, this body delivers the quality and customisation options that serious RC enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this RC truck body suitable for beginners? — Yes, the Traxxas BIGFOOT No. 8 clear body is excellent for beginners who are interested in learning about RC customisation and painting. The body arrives fully trimmed and ready to paint, eliminating difficult preparation work. However, you'll need to have or source a compatible 1/10 4WD chassis, motor, electronics and radio system separately, so this is best suited to builders who already have some RC experience or are upgrading an existing truck.
• What paint should I use on this clear polycarbonate body? — Traxxas ProGraphix® paint is specifically formulated to adhere to polycarbonate bodyshells and delivers professional results. This water-based acrylic paint is easier to apply than traditional RC polycarbonate paints and is more forgiving for first-time painters. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times.
• Why does this body require the 9047 body support and 9040 body mounts? — These components are essential for securely mounting the body to your chassis. The body support provides internal structural support that prevents the body from flexing excessively during aggressive driving, whilst the body mounts attach the body to the chassis using either traditional clips or the newer clipless mounting system. Without these parts, the body cannot be properly installed on your truck.
• Can I use this body on any 1/10 4WD RC truck? — The BIGFOOT No. 8 body is specifically engineered for Traxxas platforms and compatible 1/10 4WD monster trucks. Before purchasing, verify that your chassis is compatible with this body and that you have access to the required 9047 body support and 9040 body mounts. Some chassis designs may require different mounting solutions, so checking compatibility with your specific truck is important.
• What's the difference between a clear body and a painted body? — A clear body requires you to purchase paint and apply it yourself, giving you complete creative control over the final appearance and allowing you to create unique custom designs. A pre-painted body saves time but offers limited colour options. Clear bodies are typically less expensive and appeal to builders who enjoy the customisation process and want a one-of-a-kind finish.
• How long does it take to paint this body? — Painting time depends on your chosen design, painting method (brush vs. spray), and number of colours. Typically, you should allow several hours for painting plus drying time between coats. Using Traxxas ProGraphix® paint will speed up the process as it's formulated for easy application on polycarbonate.
• Does this body come with everything I need to start painting? — The body includes the window masks and overspray film protection, plus a decal sheet for graphics. However, you'll need to source paint, brushes or spray equipment, and optionally a clear protective topcoat. The included protection film saves you masking time, which is a significant advantage when preparing for painting.
