Combined with the included decal sheet featuring both stock and custom design options, plus the window mask for protecting glass areas during painting, you'll have all the components needed to transform this into a truly unique machine. Perfect for UK RC enthusiasts looking to explore creative customisation whilst maintaining compatibility with proven, reliable truck platforms.

Key Features

• Crystal Clear Polycarbonate Construction — Made from premium polycarbonate material, this body provides excellent visibility for body panel inspection and showcases your paint work beautifully whilst maintaining the durability required for serious RC bashers.
• Paint-Then-Peel Overspray Film — The integrated protective film allows you to paint directly onto the body with confidence, knowing you can easily peel away overspray after painting without damaging underlying details, making professional-quality finishes accessible to all skill levels.
• Included Decal Sheet — Both stock and custom design decals are supplied, giving you authentic factory-style options or the freedom to create your own unique livery to complement your chosen paint scheme.
• Window Mask Included — Pre-cut masking film protects the window areas during painting, ensuring clean lines and saving significant preparation time during your build process.

Technical Performance

This Pro-Line clear body represents the pinnacle of injection-moulded polycarbonate body shell engineering. Manufactured using crystal-clear polycarbonate of consistent thickness throughout, the body provides an excellent balance between durability and visual clarity. At 1/8 scale, this body is specifically engineered for monster truck platforms, with dimensional specs meticulously designed to fit E-MAXX 3905, E-REVO, and REVO 3.3 trucks. The body measures 470mm in length, 175mm in width, and 145mm in height, with a wheelbase of 313mm, ensuring perfect proportions and authentic stance. The paint-then-peel overspray film technology represents Pro-Line's commitment to user-friendly customisation — you can apply paint directly to the body and remove the protective film once curing is complete. The polycarbonate material offers superior impact resistance compared to thin-wall alternatives, meaning your finished body will withstand the inevitable bashings and hard landings that come with serious RC monster truck operation. For users of brushless or nitro-powered Traxxas platforms, this body provides the visual upgrade that transforms your vehicle's personality whilst maintaining perfect compatibility with your existing drivetrain and electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas trucks does this Pro-Line body fit? — This 1/8 scale body is specifically designed for three Traxxas monster truck platforms: the E-MAXX 3905, the E-REVO, and the REVO 3.3. Both the E-REVO and REVO 3.3 require the Extended Body Mount Kit PRO630700, whilst the E-MAXX 3905 requires the Extended Body Mount Kit PRO630400. Always verify you have the correct mounting hardware before installation.
• Do I need to paint this body before use? — Yes, this body is sold completely clear and unpainted. The clear polycarbonate allows you to apply your chosen colour scheme using polycarbonate-compatible paint. The included paint-then-peel overspray film makes the painting process straightforward, even for beginners.
• What painting method works best for this polycarbonate body? — Pro-Line polycarbonate bodies work excellently with airbrush systems, spray guns, or even Tamiya spray cans specifically formulated for polycarbonate. Always ensure you use paint rated for polycarbonate to prevent crazing or damage to the clear material.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whilst this is a body shell rather than a complete ready-to-run RC truck, if you already own a compatible Traxxas platform, the body installation is straightforward. The paint-then-peel overspray film technology makes painting accessible to newcomers, and the included decal sheet removes the need for complex custom artwork.
• What is the difference between this 1980 Chevy and other Pro-Line monster truck bodies? — Pro-Line offers various classic body shells, but the 1980 Chevy Pick-up specifically captures the aesthetic of that iconic decade with period-correct grille styling, headlight design, and overall proportions. Each Pro-Line body is designed for specific chassis platforms, so compatibility differs between models.
• Does this body come with a chassis? — No, this is a body shell only. You must have an existing Traxxas E-MAXX 3905, E-REVO, or REVO 3.3 chassis platform to use this body. The body mounts to your existing vehicle using the appropriate Extended Body Mount Kit.
• Can I modify this body for custom designs? — Yes, the polycarbonate material can be trimmed, drilled, and modified to suit your preferences. Many RC enthusiasts create custom vents, window designs, or light modifications to truly personalise their builds.
