Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Rat Rod Clear Body represents a masterclass in RC bodyshell engineering and design. Manufactured from crystal-clear polycarbonate rather than cheaper ABS plastic, this 1/8 scale body offers superior durability and optical clarity that allows painted details to truly shine through with professional finish quality. The construction delivers authentic Rat Rod proportions with a length of 19.8 inches (503mm), width of 7.5 inches (190mm) at the doors, height of 6.2 inches (157mm), and wheelbase of 13.9 inches (353mm), ensuring perfect fitment on Traxxas REVO 3.3, E-REVO, and Summit platforms without modification in most cases. The integrated paint-then-peel overspray film eliminates the traditional masking process, streamlining the customisation workflow and delivering consistently professional results even for first-time painters. The detailed scale supercharged engine moulded directly into the bodyshell creates incredible visual depth and authenticity that distinguishes this body from generic designs. Whether you are building a weekend basher or competition-grade RC monster truck in the UK, the Rat Rod body delivers the visual impact and build quality that serious enthusiasts demand, making it an excellent investment in the appearance and uniqueness of your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this Pro-Line Rat Rod body fit my Traxxas monster truck? — Yes, the Pro-Line Rat Rod Clear Body is specifically engineered to fit Traxxas E-REVO, E-REVO Brushless with 17mm hubs, REVO 3.3, and Summit platforms. Please note that these models require the extended body mount kit PRO630700 for proper fitment. The body may fit other vehicles with front body mount modification, but fitment is not guaranteed on non-Traxxas platforms.
- Is the Rat Rod body painted or unpainted? — This bodyshell is supplied as an unpainted clear polycarbonate shell. The vibrant painted example shown in product images is for display purposes only to illustrate the finished appearance and design details. You will need to paint the body yourself using Lexan-compatible hobby paints, which allows complete customisation of colour scheme and graphics. All necessary masking materials and decals are included to make the painting and finishing process straightforward.
- What is included for painting and finishing? — Pro-Line includes everything you need to get started: a comprehensive decal sheet featuring custom engine stickers (with displacement choices from 396 to 502 cubic inches), grille decals, headlight graphics, pre-cut window masks, and paint-then-peel overspray film that is already bonded to the body. This eliminates the need to purchase masking materials separately and ensures professional results.
- Can beginners paint and finish this body? — Absolutely. The included paint-then-peel overspray film, window masks, and detailed decal sheet make the Rat Rod body extremely beginner-friendly. The four-step process (clean, mask with included film, paint, peel, apply decals, and mount) is straightforward and requires only basic hobby tools and Lexan-compatible paint. Many first-time RC builders successfully complete this body with excellent results.
- What paint should I use on this Lexan body? — Genuine GE Lexan polycarbonate requires specialty paints designed for Lexan or polycarbonate materials. Standard acrylic or enamel paints may not adhere properly or could cause cracking. Always check the paint manufacturer's specifications to confirm Lexan compatibility. Most hobby retailers in the UK stock dedicated RC body paints that are formulated for polycarbonate shells.
- How durable is crystal-clear polycarbonate compared to plastic? — Genuine GE Lexan polycarbonate is significantly more durable than ABS or other plastics commonly used in RC bodyshells. It resists cracking from impacts, maintains optical clarity even after minor abrasions, and flexes rather than shatters if your vehicle crashes, making it ideal for bashers and competitive drivers who subject their RC monsters trucks to demanding conditions.
- Do I need any additional mounting hardware? — The body itself is designed to mount directly to your monster truck's body post or mount structure. Depending on your specific Traxxas model, you may require the extended body mount kit PRO630700 to achieve proper fitment. Standard body mounting hardware should work once the extended mount kit is installed.
- Can I use this body on a ready to run RC monster truck? — Yes, provided you own a Traxxas REVO 3.3, E-REVO, or Summit ready to run package. You will need to remove the original body, install the extended body mount kit if required, prepare and paint this Rat Rod shell, and install it on your chassis. This is a straightforward upgrade that transforms the appearance of your ready to run RC vehicle.
- What makes the Pro-Line Rat Rod design special? — The Rat Rod was originally designed by Pro-Line for the 1/8 scale market and was featured in one of their most viewed YouTube videos in company history. The refined 1/8 scale version includes exceptional detail like a fully formed supercharged engine with customisable displacement decals, large period-correct front grille, round headlights, and authentic vintage hot rod proportions that capture genuine automotive styling in a 1/8 RC scale body.
- Is this suitable for competition or casual bashing? — The Pro-Line Rat Rod Clear Body is excellent for both competition and casual weekend bashing. The durable Lexan construction withstands track abuse and crashes, while the stunning visual presentation makes it perfect for showing off at RC clubs, parks, and events across the UK.
