Overview
Experience the golden age of American automotive design with the Pro-Line 1/10 Early 50's Chevy Clear Body, the perfect addition to your Traxxas Stampede or ARRMA Granite RC car. This beautifully detailed bodyshell captures the essence of classic 1950s styling, bringing nostalgia and character to your RC bashing sessions. Whether you're an RC car enthusiast in the UK looking to customise your ride or a seasoned collector seeking authentic period details, this clear polycarbonate body delivers the timeless appeal of a vintage Chevrolet truck in true 1/10 scale format.
There's nothing quite like a classic automobile. Their rugged design, authentic interior details and straightforward engineering screams ingenuity and provides a unique character that modern vehicles simply cannot replicate. Perhaps that's why so many enthusiasts have such appreciation for classics—or maybe it's because of their timeless simplicity. Whatever the reason, Pro-Line has captured that magic and made it available in 1/10 scale for your RC Stampede or compatible chassis. This is your opportunity to experience the charm of 1950s automotive design without leaving your driveway, track or local RC bash spot.
Pro-Line's team of classic car enthusiasts carefully studied the proportions, curves and details of authentic Early 50's Chevrolet trucks to create this stunning replica. The result is a body that doesn't just fit your Stampede platform—it honours the heritage of one of America's most iconic vehicle designs. From the detailed front grille and headlight bezels to the distinctive body moulding trim and those signature rounded body lines, every element has been thoughtfully reproduced. This is ready-to-customise RC car bodywork that transforms your electric or nitro Stampede into a rolling piece of automotive history.
Key Features
- Classic Early 1950s Design — The body captures the iconic rounded body lines and proportions that made 1950s Chevrolet trucks instantly recognisable, allowing you to build an authentically styled RC truck that stands out at any RC meet or local bash event.
- Crystal Clear Polycarbonate Construction — Made from high-quality clear polycarbonate material, this bodyshell allows you to apply your own paint schemes whilst maintaining visibility of chassis components, and the material offers durability during aggressive RC driving.
- Paint-Then-Peel Overspray Film Built-In — The body includes a protective overspray film that allows you to apply multiple paint colours without masking individual body sections, then simply peel away the film to reveal clean paint lines—saving time and ensuring professional-looking results on your ready-to-customise RC body.
- Detailed Exterior Trim — Includes meticulously moulded details such as a prominent front grille, realistic headlight surrounds, and body moulding trim that capture the authentic character of the era and add visual depth to your finished RC model.
- Perfect Fit and Proportions for Stampede Platform — Engineered specifically for the Traxxas Stampede and compatible ARRMA and ECX platforms, ensuring a flush fit with proper overhang and body-to-chassis alignment without modification.
- Included Window Masks and Decal Sheet — Everything you need to finish your body is included: window masks protect glass areas during painting, and a factory decal sheet provides authentic period-correct graphics to complete the classic look.
- Wide Compatibility — Works with Stampede Electric, Stampede Nitro, Stampede 4x4, ECX Barrage, ARRMA Granite (with extended body mounts), and ARRMA Vorteks (with extended body mounts), making this an excellent choice if you own any of these popular UK RC platforms.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line has been crafting quality RC bodies for over four decades, combining heritage craftsmanship with modern engineering to deliver bodyshells that perform and last.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Early 50's Chevy Clear Body represents a masterclass in RC bodyshell design, constructed from crystal clear polycarbonate—the same premium material used in competition-grade RC bodies across the UK and worldwide. The polycarbonate offers exceptional durability during high-speed bashing whilst remaining lightweight enough not to compromise your Stampede's performance characteristics. At 16.1 inches (409mm) in length, 6.7 inches (170mm) width at the door line, and 5.1 inches (129mm) in height, the proportions are carefully calculated to deliver authentic Early 50's styling whilst maintaining the perfect fit on your Stampede or compatible chassis. The 9.8-inch (249mm) wheelbase matches your platform precisely, eliminating overhang issues and ensuring the body sits flush with the suspension geometry whether you're running electric brushless power on a 2S or 3S LiPo setup, or pushing nitro-fuelled performance through your Stampede platform. The integrated paint-then-peel overspray film system dramatically simplifies the finishing process—no masking tape required—allowing you to create multi-colour paint schemes with clean separation lines. This body is uncompromised in its authenticity; Pro-Line's engineers captured every subtle curve and detail from genuine Early 50's Chevrolet trucks, translating them faithfully to 1/10 scale so your finished RC model becomes a rolling tribute to American automotive heritage.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which RC trucks does this body fit? — This Pro-Line body is designed specifically for the Traxxas Stampede (electric and nitro versions), Stampede 4x4, ECX Barrage, ARRMA Granite (requiring extended body mounts), and ARRMA Vorteks (also requiring extended body mounts). Always verify your specific chassis before ordering.
- Is this body suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The clear polycarbonate construction is forgiving for first-time painters, and the included paint-then-peel overspray film eliminates the need for complex masking techniques. The four-step process (clean, paint, peel, apply decals, mount) is straightforward enough for newcomers whilst producing professional results.
- What do I need to do to finish this body? — Follow Pro-Line's simple four-step process: first, clean the clear body and apply the included window masks to protect the windscreen and rear window areas; second, apply your chosen polycarbonate paint colours, using the built-in overspray film as your masking guide; third, carefully peel away the overspray film to reveal clean paint lines; and finally, apply the included decal sheet and mount the body onto your truck using your chassis's body mounting hardware.
- Can I use this body on my ARRMA Granite? — Yes, but you'll need extended body mounts to ensure proper fitment, as the Early 50's Chevy body is slightly longer than the standard Granite shell. Extended mounts are readily available from RC retailers across the UK.
- What's the difference between clear and painted bodies? — This is a clear, unpainted body shell that you finish yourself, allowing complete creative freedom with paint colours and custom graphics. Pre-painted bodies limit your customisation options but arrive ready to mount. The clear polycarbonate material in this body is the same high-quality compound used in all Pro-Line shells regardless of finish state.
- Is the paint-then-peel overspray film really effective? — Yes. Pro-Line has perfected this system over decades of bodyshell production. The film creates precise paint line separation, eliminating the need for masking tape on most body areas and allowing you to create complex multi-colour schemes cleanly and efficiently.
- Will this body fit my nitro Stampede? — Absolutely. Pro-Line designed this body for both electric and nitro Stampede platforms, and the proportions accommodate either drivetrain without modification.
- What materials do I need to paint this body? — You'll need polycarbonate-compatible RC body paint (available from most UK RC retailers), paintbrushes or an airbrush setup, and ideally a clear protective topcoat to seal and protect your finished paintwork during bashing.
