Overview
The Pro-Line 1/10 1946 Dodge Power Wagon Black Body is a meticulously detailed scale crawler body shell that brings authentic vintage truck styling to your RC setup. This is a genuine 1946 Dodge Power Wagon body designed specifically for 1/10 scale rock crawlers with a 12.3 inch (313mm) wheelbase, making it compatible with popular platforms like the Axial SCX10, Element Enduro, and other similarly proportioned RC crawlers. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast looking to upgrade your crawler with period-correct styling or a UK-based hobbyist searching for a ready-to-customize body shell, this Pro-Line offering delivers exceptional scale realism and durability that will transform your RC vehicle into a show-stopping replica of the iconic First Generation Power Wagon.
Pro-Line Racing, manufactured in the USA since 1982, has earned recognition as one of the industry's leading body manufacturers for RC vehicles. This 1946 Dodge Power Wagon body represents their commitment to historical accuracy and exceptional engineering. The body is crafted from Pro-Line's proprietary Tough-Color black polycarbonate material, which means you're purchasing a pre-coloured body that requires no painting—the durable polycarbonate resists chipping, peeling and UV damage far better than traditional paint finishes. This makes it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor RC crawling enthusiasts across the UK who want professional results without the complexity of custom paint work.
What sets this body apart from generic crawler shells is the authentic two-piece construction that perfectly captures the character of the original military-inspired civilian truck. The separate cab and bed create an ultra-realistic appearance that enthusiasts will immediately recognise, whilst detailed design elements like the menacing flat front grille, large flat panel fender flares, textured rocker panels and realistic undercuts demonstrate Pro-Line's attention to authentic detail. The round headlight housings are specifically designed to accommodate working LED lights, allowing you to add functional lighting that enhances both the scale appearance and nighttime visibility of your RC crawler.
Key Features
- Authentic 1946 Dodge Power Wagon Styling — This body faithfully reproduces the iconic First Generation Power Wagon design that became a legend in the RC crawling community, featuring the characteristic flat grille and aggressive stance that made the original vehicle famous as a military-inspired 4x4 truck available to civilians.
- Two-Piece Construction (Separate Cab and Bed) — Unlike single-piece generic bodies, this design includes a detachable cab and bed section, creating an ultra-realistic silhouette that looks substantially more scale-accurate and allows for improved access to internal components when needed.
- Tough-Color Black Polycarbonate Material — The body is manufactured from Pro-Line's premium black polycarbonate, which is pre-coloured throughout the material itself, meaning you never have to worry about paint peeling, chipping or fading—a significant advantage for UK RC enthusiasts who regularly run their vehicles in varying weather conditions.
- Separate Round Headlight Housings for LED Integration — The individually designed round headlights feature open designs that allow you to install real working LED lights, transforming your crawler from a display model into a fully functional vehicle suitable for evening runs and adding authentic period lighting details.
- Menacing Front Grille and Large Fender Flares — The body features a huge, flat front grille design and large flat panel style fender flares that perfectly replicate the aggressive stance of the original truck, creating a commanding presence on any terrain or display shelf.
- Detailed Rocker Panels and Undercuts — Textured rocker panels and realistic undercuts add depth and shadow detail to the body's profile, creating a more convincing three-dimensional scale appearance that looks dramatically better in photographs and under scrutiny.
- Complete Window and Headlight Decal Sheet Included — The package includes a detailed decal sheet featuring realistic window stickers and headlight details, allowing you to complete the body's appearance with authentic graphics without requiring separate purchases or custom decal work.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line's long manufacturing heritage means you're purchasing from a recognised leader in RC body design with decades of experience in scale realism and product quality assurance.
- Universal 12.3 Inch (313mm) Wheelbase Compatibility — This body is engineered to fit multiple popular rock crawler platforms including Axial SCX10 models, Element Enduro, and other 12.3 inch wheelbase crawlers, making it a versatile upgrade option for many builders.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line 1946 Dodge Power Wagon Black Body is a bodyshell component designed for scale crawler applications, meaning it integrates with existing crawler chassis rather than functioning as a complete ready-to-run vehicle. The body's construction from Tough-Color polycarbonate provides significantly superior durability compared to traditional painted ABS plastic alternatives. This polycarbonate material maintains its colour integrity throughout the material depth, ensuring that minor scuffs or scratches do not expose unpainted plastic underneath. The body measures 18.6 inches (472mm) in total length, 5.8 inches (146mm) at the door width, 8.3 inches (211mm) at the fender width, and 5.8 inches (146mm) in height, with the cab section measuring 10.3 inches (260mm) in length. These proportions are precisely calculated to fit 12.3 inch (313mm) wheelbase crawlers with proper visual balance and authentic scale proportions. The engineering incorporates realistic design elements including textured rocker panels and accurate undercuts that create visual depth when viewed from multiple angles. The separate round headlight housings are engineered with open backs to accommodate LED light inserts, allowing builders to integrate functional illumination systems. The polycarbonate material provides excellent impact resistance for off-road crawling applications whilst remaining lightweight enough that it does not negatively impact the vehicle's centre of gravity or handling characteristics. This is purely a body shell with no integrated electronics, motor, or drive components—it is designed to mount directly onto your existing crawler chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What chassis does this 1946 Dodge Power Wagon body fit? — This body is engineered for 1/10 scale crawlers with a 12.3 inch (313mm) wheelbase. It is confirmed compatible with Axial SCX10, Element Enduro, and other rock crawlers using this wheelbase specification. Before purchasing, confirm your current chassis wheelbase measurement to ensure proper fitment.
- Do I need to paint this body? — No, the body arrives in Tough-Colour black polycarbonate, which is pre-coloured throughout the material. Unlike traditional painted bodies, you do not need to apply paint, though many RC enthusiasts choose to add custom graphics, decals, or additional paint detailing to further personalise their builds.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This body shell is appropriate for builders with basic RC assembly skills. Installation requires removing a protective outer film, applying the included window and headlight decals, and mounting the body onto your existing crawler chassis using the provided hardware. It is not suitable as a complete vehicle for absolute beginners—you must already own or purchase a compatible crawler chassis separately.
- How durable is the Tough-Colour polycarbonate material? — Tough-Colour polycarbonate offers exceptional durability for RC applications. The black colour is integrated throughout the material's depth, meaning minor scuffs and scratches do not expose unpainted plastic underneath like traditional painted bodies. The material resists UV fading, chipping, and peeling far better than standard paint finishes, making it ideal for UK operators who run vehicles in varying weather conditions.
- Can I add LED lights to the headlights? — Yes, the body features separate round headlight housings that are specifically designed to accommodate working LED light units. The open back design allows for easy LED installation, enabling you to create functional lighting effects that enhance both the scale appearance and provide practical illumination for evening crawling sessions.
- What is included in the box? — The package includes the complete two-piece body (cab and bed), eight screws and eight nuts for mounting, and a detailed decal sheet featuring realistic window stickers and headlight graphics.
- How does this compare to other 1/10 scale crawler bodies available in the UK? — Pro-Line bodies are recognised for exceptional scale accuracy and build quality. This 1946 Dodge Power Wagon offers authentic period styling with genuine two-piece cab and bed construction, durable Tough-Colour polycarbonate material, and detailed design elements like flat grilles and fender flares. The separate cab and bed design provides superior realism compared to single-piece generic bodies.
- Can I apply custom paint or vinyl wrap to this body? — Absolutely. Many RC enthusiasts apply vinyl wraps, custom graphics, or additional paint layers over the pre-coloured Tough-Colour base to create unique customised appearances. The polycarbonate surface accepts paint and vinyl adhesive effectively.
