Key Features

• Authentic 1972 Chevrolet C-10 Design — This body captures the distinctive styling elements that make the original C-10 instantly recognisable, including detailed front grill, realistic headlight housings, and authentic body moulding trim that distinguishes it from generic truck bodies available for RC cars and trucks in the UK.
• Crystal-Clear Polycarbonate Construction — Manufactured from premium polycarbonate material, this clear body shell allows light to pass through for dramatic display potential whilst maintaining structural integrity during active bashing and racing applications, ensuring your custom paint job remains visible and vibrant.
• Included Decal Sheet with Multiple Livery Options — The comprehensive stock and custom decal sheet provides flexibility in personalisation, allowing you to choose between classic original Chevrolet styling or modern custom designs that reflect your unique RC taste and building preferences.
• Paint-Then-Peel Overspray Film System — The built-in overspray protection film eliminates the need for traditional masking tape around windows and trim, saving preparation time whilst ensuring cleaner paint lines and professional-quality results that rival purpose-built RC show vehicles.
• Professional-Grade Window Mask Included — The included window mask provides precise protection during the painting process, allowing you to achieve factory-quality glass-to-body transitions without the risk of paint seepage or the tedious task of removing overspray from transparent areas.
• Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line's heritage of American manufacturing and quality control means you're investing in a body shell designed and produced to the highest standards of precision and durability that serious RC enthusiasts expect.
• Extended Compatibility with Traxxas 1/8 Scale Platforms — This body is engineered to fit multiple professional Traxxas platforms, though extended body mount kits are required for some models, providing a versatile option for builders with existing chassis or those planning to acquire compatible vehicles.
• Long Bed Configuration for Scale Realism — The long bed design characteristic of the 1972 C-10 pickup provides proportionally accurate styling that enhances the overall scale appearance and offers additional visual interest compared to shorter chassis designs.

Technical Performance

The Pro-Line 1972 Chevy C-10 Long Bed clear body represents a precision-engineered component designed to enhance the visual appeal and authenticity of professional 1/8 scale RC trucks. Measuring 475mm in length (18.7 inches), 180mm in width (7.1 inches), with a height of 147mm (5.8 inches), and a wheelbase of 320mm (12.59 inches), this body provides accurate proportions that translate beautifully onto compatible Traxxas platforms. The crystal-clear polycarbonate material used throughout offers excellent impact resistance whilst maintaining optical clarity for stunning visual presentation. The body is supplied as an unpainted shell, allowing complete creative freedom in customisation—whether you prefer authentic period-correct Chevrolet colours or modern custom finishes. The integrated paint-then-peel overspray protection and included window masking system streamline the preparation process, whilst the comprehensive decal sheet offers multiple design directions. For UK RC enthusiasts building on E-MAXX 3905, E-REVO, REVO 3.3, or T-MAXX 3.3 platforms, compatibility requires either the extended body mount kit PRO630700 (for E-REVO and REVO 3.3) or PRO630400 (for E-MAXX 3905 and T-MAXX 3.3), making installation straightforward once the appropriate mounting hardware is sourced.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this a complete ready-to-run RC vehicle? — No, this is a clear polycarbonate body shell only. It does not include a chassis, electronics, motor, battery, or radio system. You will need a compatible Traxxas 1/8 scale platform (E-MAXX 3905, E-REVO, REVO 3.3, or T-MAXX 3.3) and the appropriate extended body mount kit to complete your build. This approach is perfect for experienced builders who already own compatible vehicles or those who want complete flexibility in chassis selection.
• What is the difference between this 1/8 scale body and 1/10 scale alternatives? — The 1972 Chevy C-10 comes in 1/8 scale format specifically designed for larger, more powerful Traxxas platforms. This larger scale provides proportionally bigger dimensions and greater surface area for detail and paint work compared to 1/10 scale bodies, making it ideal for serious collectors and builders seeking impressive visual impact.
• Do I need special paint for polycarbonate RC bodies? — Yes, you must use acrylic or polycarbonate-compatible RC paint specifically formulated for polycarbonate bodies. Standard automotive paint can damage or soften polycarbonate. Pro-Line and other major RC manufacturers produce dedicated polycarbonate paints in various colours that adhere properly and cure without harm to the material.
• What is the paint-then-peel overspray film and how does it work? — This is a temporary protective coating applied to the interior of the body. After painting your chosen colours on the outside, you simply peel away this film from the inside, removing all overspray and achieving a clean, professional-looking paint job without the hassle of traditional masking tape cleanup. This system is a significant time-saver for serious RC builders in the UK.
• Will this body fit my existing Traxxas truck? — This body is compatible with E-MAXX 3905, E-REVO, REVO 3.3, and T-MAXX 3.3 platforms, but requires an extended body mount kit (either PRO630700 or PRO630400 depending on your chassis). Check your truck's model number and order the correct mounting hardware accordingly.
• How difficult is it to paint and finish this body? — The included window mask and paint-then-peel overspray film make the finishing process significantly easier than traditional methods. The four-step process (clean body, apply window mask, paint and peel film, apply decals, mount on truck) is accessible to builders of intermediate skill level. First-time painters should allow extra time and consider watching tutorial videos before starting.
• Is this body suitable for aggressive bashing or just display? — The crystal-clear polycarbonate construction is durable enough for regular bashing and racing use when mounted on compatible Traxxas platforms. The material is impact-resistant and designed to withstand the demands of active RC driving. However, the visual appeal of this classic design makes it equally attractive for display and collection purposes.
• What are the exact dimensions and will it fit my setup? — The body measures 475mm (18.7 inches) in length, 180mm (7.1 inches) in width, 147mm (5.8 inches) in height, with a 320mm (12.59 inches) wheelbase. These dimensions are specifically engineered for the E-MAXX 3905, E-REVO, REVO 3.3, and T-MAXX 3.3. Confirm your chassis model matches this compatibility list before purchasing.
