This is a fully licensed replica of the iconic Black and Gold Heatwave Trophy Truck driven by professional desert racer Chris Isenhouer, who competes alongside his brother Nick in some of the most demanding off-road conditions. Now you can recreate that legendary race truck for your own RC short course vehicle, bringing genuine motorsport heritage to your RC hobby in the UK and beyond. Whether you're a seasoned RC competitor, a weekend basher, or just discovering the world of RC cars, this body shell offers an unparalleled level of scale authenticity combined with practical durability that makes it suitable for any skill level.
Pro-Line has engineered this body to capture every detail of Chris Isenhouer's full-size Heatwave F-100, including the iconic flat front grille and aggressive wide fender flares that represent the fiberglass bulges found on the original race truck. The Pre-Cut Tough-Colour Black polycarbonate construction ensures that this is not just a visual upgrade—it's a durable, long-lasting investment in your RC setup that will withstand the rigours of regular driving without the maintenance hassles of traditional painted bodies.

The included Black and Gold Heatwave decal wrap is pre-cut specifically for this body, taking the guesswork out of application and ensuring professional-looking results every time. With realistic window stickers also included, your finished build will be instantly recognisable as the legendary Heatwave truck, and you'll have the option to showcase your creation on Pro-Line's Reader's Rides blog where outstanding builds are featured and prizes are awarded.
Key Features
- Fully Licensed 1967 Ford F-100 Heatwave Design — This body carries official licensing from Ford and the Heatwave brand, meaning every detail from the iconic grille to the fender flares has been authentically replicated from Chris Isenhouer's actual race truck, giving your RC short course truck genuine motorsport credibility and scale accuracy that unbranded bodies simply cannot match.
- Pre-Cut Tough-Colour Black Polycarbonate Construction — Made from premium polycarbonate material that will never peel, chip, or fade regardless of how hard you push your RC truck, eliminating the need for paint touch-ups and repair work that traditional painted bodies require, whilst delivering a finish that looks factory-fresh year after year.
- No Paint Required — Ready to Decal Immediately — The body arrives in finished Tough-Colour Black, meaning you skip the time-consuming and skill-intensive painting process entirely; simply remove the protective film, apply the included pre-cut Black and Gold Heatwave decal wrap, and you're ready to hit the track or field within minutes rather than days.
- Detailed Pre-Cut Heatwave Decal Wrap Included — Rather than requiring you to source, cut, and apply generic decals, Pro-Line provides a professionally designed and factory pre-cut Black and Gold decal wrap that's been specifically formatted for this body shell, ensuring perfect alignment and professional appearance every single time with zero guesswork.
- Realistic Window Stickers Included — The package includes detailed window stickers that complete the scale replica effect, transforming a plain polycarbonate shell into an authentic representation of the full-size Heatwave Trophy Truck with period-correct styling and motorsport authenticity.
- Iconic Flat Front F-100 Grille and Wide Fender Flares — These signature styling elements are accurately moulded into the polycarbonate, capturing the aggressive stance and visual character of Chris Isenhouer's actual desert race truck, giving your RC short course truck unmistakable presence and authenticity on the track.
- Made in the USA by Pro-Line Since 1982 — Pro-Line's reputation for quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction spans over four decades, and this body reflects their commitment to producing premium RC products that deliver genuine value and performance for UK RC enthusiasts and hobbyists worldwide.
- Three-Step Installation Process — Setup could not be simpler: remove the protective outer film, apply the pre-cut wrap and window decals following the included instructions, and mount the body onto your truck chassis, with the entire process typically taking less than 30 minutes even for first-time users.
- Compatibility with Multiple Short Course Platforms — This body is engineered to fit Traxxas Slash 2WD and Slash 4X4 (with extended body mounts), as well as Tenacity TT Pro SCT platforms, providing flexibility for different RC short course truck setups and configurations.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line 1967 Ford F-100 Heatwave body is constructed from premium Tough-Colour Black polycarbonate, a material specifically engineered for RC applications where durability and appearance must coexist without compromise. At 1/10 scale, this body captures the proportions and styling of the full-size truck with remarkable accuracy across its overall dimensions of 528mm length, 254mm width at the doors, 295mm width at the fenders, and 157mm height, creating a visually imposing and scale-accurate presence on any track. The 325mm wheelbase measurement ensures compatibility with standard short course truck platforms whilst maintaining the authentic proportions of the original 1967 F-100. The polycarbonate material itself is the key to this body's outstanding durability: unlike traditional lexan painted bodies that require careful handling and regular maintenance to prevent chips and peeling, Tough-Colour polycarbonate is pre-coloured throughout the material itself, meaning the finish is essentially permanent and impervious to mechanical wear. This represents a substantial advantage for UK RC enthusiasts who want to enjoy their vehicles without the ongoing maintenance burden of monitoring and touching up painted finishes. The body arrives pre-painted in factory-finished Tough-Colour Black, requiring no additional painting, sanding, or preparation work—you simply apply the included decal wrap and install the body. The engineering approach reflects Pro-Line's understanding that RC enthusiasts want to spend time driving their vehicles, not maintaining them, and this body delivers on that principle completely.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes this body different from a standard painted RC bodyshell? — This body uses Pro-Line's proprietary Tough-Colour Black polycarbonate, which is pre-coloured throughout the material rather than having paint applied to the surface, meaning the finish will never chip, peel, or fade regardless of how aggressively you drive or how many bumps and scrapes the body sustains, eliminating the need for paint touch-ups and repair work that traditional painted bodies require.
- Is this body suitable for beginners in RC short course trucks? — Absolutely. The three-step installation process is straightforward, the included pre-cut decal wrap removes guesswork from the application process, and the durable Tough-Colour polycarbonate construction means beginners don't need to worry about damaging a delicate painted finish during their learning phase, making this an ideal choice for anyone new to RC short course racing.
- What chassis does this body fit? — This body is designed specifically for Traxxas Slash 2WD (with extended body mounts PRO607000), Traxxas Slash 4X4 (with extended body mounts PRO608700), and Tenacity TT Pro SCT (with extended body mount kit PRO637400 sold separately), making it compatible with multiple popular short course truck platforms available in the UK.
- Do I need to paint this body? — No. This body arrives in finished Tough-Colour Black and requires no painting whatsoever. You simply apply the included pre-cut Black and Gold Heatwave decal wrap and the realistic window stickers, then mount the body onto your chassis and you're ready to drive, saving hours of preparation time compared to traditional bodies.
- Who is Chris Isenhouer and what makes this body special? — Chris Isenhouer is a professional desert racer who drives an iconic Black and Gold Heatwave Trophy Truck (converted from a 1967 Ford F-100) in demanding off-road racing conditions alongside his brother Nick. This body is a fully licensed replica of his actual race truck, giving your RC short course vehicle genuine motorsport heritage and authentic styling that honours real-world performance racing.
- How long does installation take? — With the three-step process (remove protective film, apply pre-cut decals, mount body), most users complete installation in 15-30 minutes, and the detailed included instructions make the process straightforward and foolproof even for first-time RC enthusiasts.
- Will the Tough-Colour Black finish look factory-fresh after heavy use? — Yes. Unlike painted finishes that can be damaged by scratches, impacts, and UV exposure, the Tough-Colour polycarbonate is engineered to maintain its appearance indefinitely; the colour is integral to the material itself rather than a surface coating, so the body will continue to look factory-fresh no matter how much you drive.
