Traxxas Body, Maxx, Orange (painted, decals applied) (fits Maxx with extended chassis (352mm wheelbase)) TRX8918T

Overview

Transform your Traxxas Maxx monster truck with this stunning pre-painted orange body shell, designed specifically for the V2 Maxx with extended 352mm wheelbase chassis. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to refresh your RC car's appearance or a weekend basher wanting to stand out from the crowd, this replacement body offers an instant visual upgrade with professional-quality ProGraphix paint and factory-applied decals. The Maxx is already renowned as one of the most capable and fun-to-drive RC monster trucks available in the UK RC market, and swapping the body is one of the quickest ways to customise your machine without affecting performance or handling characteristics.

This pre-painted bodyshell represents excellent value for money compared to purchasing unpainted alternatives and applying paint yourself. Traxxas has invested in premium ProGraphix paint technology to deliver a vibrant, durable orange finish that resists UV fading and provides that professional show-quality appearance straight out of the box. The brilliant orange colour is eye-catching both on the track and during outdoor RC bashing sessions, making your monster truck instantly recognisable whether you're competing at your local RC club or enjoying casual weekend driving with friends. For UK RC enthusiasts seeking ready-to-run customisation options, this body eliminates the need for expensive spray equipment and time-consuming finishing work.

Installation is straightforward and requires no specialist knowledge, making this an ideal upgrade for both experienced RC hobbyists and those newer to the ready to run RC truck scene. The body comes fully assembled with all necessary components pre-installed, meaning you simply remove your existing body and mount this new one using the pre-existing body mounts on your Maxx chassis. This is one of the quickest and most satisfying upgrades you can perform on your brushless RC monster truck.

Key Features

• Pre-Painted ProGraphix Finish — The entire body is finished in vibrant ProGraphix paint, which is Traxxas's premium paint system designed specifically for polycarbonate RC bodies. This eliminates the need for you to purchase spray paint cans, hire expensive air-brushing equipment, or spend hours masking and painting, saving you both time and money whilst guaranteeing professional results.
• Factory-Applied Decals — High-quality decals come pre-applied to the body by Traxxas, meaning the graphics and branding are already perfectly positioned and sealed. This removes the frustration of trying to apply decals yourself and ensures a crisp, professional appearance that lasts through countless bashing sessions.
• Tough Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, the industry standard for RC car bodies. Polycarbonate offers excellent impact resistance, meaning your body will withstand crashes, bumps and aggressive driving without cracking or shattering, whilst remaining lightweight to maintain optimal handling characteristics.
• Fully Assembled and Ready to Mount — Unlike some replacement bodies that require trimming, drilling and assembly, this Maxx body arrives completely finished and ready for installation. Pre-installed body mounts mean you can fit this to your existing Maxx chassis in minutes without requiring additional hardware or modifications.
• Pre-Installed Roof Skid Plate — The protective roof skid plate is already fitted to the body, providing additional protection for the top of the chassis during driving and contributing to the finished, premium appearance of the truck.
• Pre-Installed Tailgate Protector — The rear tailgate protector is factory-installed, safeguarding the rear body panel from impact damage and scratches whilst adding authentic detail to the truck's appearance.
• Exact Fitment for Extended Wheelbase Maxx V2 — This body is engineered specifically for the Maxx V2 with the extended 352mm wheelbase (13.85 inches), ensuring perfect panel alignment, proper ground clearance, and authentic proportions. This precise fitment means no cutting, trimming or modifications are required.
• Compatible with Multiple Maxx Variants — This body shell fits all Traxxas WideMaxx monster truck models including the Rock N Roll, Green and Red variants, making it an excellent universal upgrade option for Maxx enthusiasts with multiple machines.

Technical Performance

The Maxx orange body represents Traxxas's commitment to delivering high-quality replacement bodywork for one of their most popular and capable monster truck platforms. Manufactured from impact-resistant polycarbonate at 1/10 scale, this body maintains the aggressive, proportioned styling that the Maxx is famous for, with generous panel width and height appropriate for the truck's extended 352mm wheelbase chassis. The polycarbonate material provides the perfect balance between durability and weight, ensuring that swapping from a different colour body to this orange version will not affect acceleration, top speed, handling characteristics or suspension response. The ProGraphix paint system used by Traxxas is specifically formulated for polycarbonate bodies, offering superior adhesion, UV resistance and durability compared to standard automotive spray paint, which means your orange finish will maintain its brilliant colour and gloss even after extended exposure to sunlight during outdoor RC bashing. The factory-applied decal application ensures perfect alignment and professional finish that would be difficult to achieve with manual application. All body-mounting hardware integration points are pre-drilled and pre-formed, allowing seamless installation on Maxx chassis without requiring the tools or expertise needed for bodies requiring post-purchase trimming or drilling.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this orange Maxx body fit my existing Maxx chassis? — Yes, this body is engineered specifically for the Traxxas Maxx V2 with the extended 352mm wheelbase. It will fit perfectly without any trimming, modification or additional hardware required. Simply remove your existing body and mount this new one using the pre-existing mounting points on your chassis.
• What is the difference between this pre-painted body and purchasing an unpainted clear body? — This body arrives finished in vibrant ProGraphix orange paint with factory-applied decals, ready to install straight from the box. An unpainted clear body would require you to purchase spray paint cans, perform masking and painting yourself (or hire professional painting services), apply decals manually, and invest significant time in finishing work. This pre-painted option eliminates all of that effort and expense whilst guaranteeing professional results.
• Is the paint durable enough for outdoor RC bashing? — Yes, the ProGraphix paint system is specifically designed by Traxxas for use on RC polycarbonate bodies exposed to outdoor conditions. The paint offers excellent UV resistance, meaning it resists fading from sunlight exposure, and provides strong adhesion to polycarbonate that prevents chipping or peeling even after crashes and impacts during aggressive driving.
• Will changing the body affect the performance of my Maxx? — No, replacing the body shell will not impact acceleration, top speed, handling, suspension performance or any other performance characteristic. The body is purely cosmetic and does not affect the mechanical components, motor, ESC, gearing or chassis setup of your truck. Performance will remain identical to your previous body.
• What else do I need to complete my Maxx setup with this body? — If you already own a Traxxas Maxx V2 with extended chassis, this body is the only component required to complete your upgrade. Simply remove the old body and install this new one. If you do not yet own a Maxx, you will need to purchase the complete Maxx chassis separately.
• Can I use this body on other Traxxas models? — This body is designed specifically for the Maxx V2 with 352mm extended wheelbase and is not compatible with other Traxxas models such as the original Maxx, Sledge, Hoss, or other 1/10 scale trucks, as those models use different body mounting systems and wheelbase dimensions.
• Is this body compatible with the WideMaxx monster truck? — Yes, this body is fully compatible with all Traxxas WideMaxx monster truck variants including the Rock N Roll, Green and Red models, as they all share the same extended 352mm wheelbase and body mounting system.
