Key Features

• ProGraphix Design with Factory-Applied Graphics — The detailed graphics are fully painted by the manufacturer, but the remaining body sections are clear, giving you complete control over the final colour scheme and allowing you to personalise your RC buggy exactly how you want it.
• Integrated Wing — The bodyshell includes a pre-mounted wing that provides aerodynamic downforce at high speeds, which is especially valuable when running the Bandit VXL's powerful brushless motor on pavement or at high throttle settings.
• Pre-Drilled Body Post Holes — All body post mounting points are pre-drilled at the factory, eliminating the need for drilling and ensuring accurate, repeatable fitment every time you install the body.
• Complete Trimming — The body arrives fully trimmed, meaning all windows, light buckets and body line cuts are finished, saving you hours of preparation time and reducing the risk of accidental damage during trimming.
• Protective Overspray Film — A protective film is applied to the body during manufacturing, shielding the factory-applied graphics from dust and damage during shipping and storage until you're ready to begin painting.
• Full Decal Sheet Included — A comprehensive decal sheet is provided with the bodyshell, offering additional customisation options to enhance the graphics once you've painted your chosen base colour.
• Easy to Paint Application — Simply apply a single colour of Traxxas ProGraphix paint to the clear sections for instant professional results, with no complicated masking or tape removal required, making this ideal for anyone new to body painting.
• Universal Fitment for Bandit Models — This body fits both the standard Bandit and the Bandit VXL brushless variant, making it a versatile upgrade option for owners of either model.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Body, Bandit ProGraphix / wing bodyshell is manufactured to the exacting standards Traxxas is renowned for throughout the RC hobby. Designed specifically for 1/10 scale Bandit platform RC buggies, this replacement body provides excellent aerodynamic characteristics whilst maintaining the iconic Bandit profile that enthusiasts love. The integrated wing works in conjunction with the Bandit's aerodynamic design to manage lift at high speeds, particularly important when running the Bandit VXL's potent brushless power system that's capable of 70+mph out of the box. The clear body material used for the ProGraphix sections is durable polycarbonate that resists cracking during normal off-road use and impacts typical of RC bashing. When painting the clear sections, Traxxas ProGraphix paint is specifically formulated to adhere properly to polycarbonate and provide both aesthetic appeal and protective properties. The body's design includes slightly increased wing area compared to stock Bandit bodies, providing enhanced downforce without compromising visibility from the driver's perspective. The factory graphics are applied using professional printing techniques that bond to the polycarbonate for durability, and the remaining clear sections are thick enough to withstand typical bashings whilst remaining light enough not to significantly affect the Bandit's performance characteristics. This body is compatible with the TQi radio system and works seamlessly with both brushed and brushless Bandit variants, whether you're running 2-cell or 3-cell LiPo batteries in your ready to run RC buggy.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this body fit my Bandit VXL? — Yes, this ProGraphix body is specifically designed to fit both the standard Traxxas Bandit and the Bandit VXL brushless variant, so it's a direct replacement for either model.
• Do I need to mask off areas before painting? — No, this is one of the key advantages of the ProGraphix design. The factory-applied graphics are already painted, and the clear sections are pre-designated for your colour choice, meaning minimal masking is required compared to a fully clear body.
• What paint should I use? — Traxxas manufactures ProGraphix paint specifically formulated for polycarbonate bodies, ensuring proper adhesion and durability. These paints are available in a wide range of colours and provide professional results with minimal effort.
• How does the integrated wing affect performance? — The wing provides valuable aerodynamic downforce at speed, helping to keep the front end of your Bandit planted during high-speed runs and reducing the tendency to wheelie, particularly when running the Bandit VXL's powerful brushless motor with 3-cell LiPo batteries.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The ProGraphix design is specifically engineered for ease of use, with factory-applied graphics eliminating complex masking and the simple painting process making it ideal for your first custom body painting project.
• What is the difference between ProGraphix and a clear body? — ProGraphix bodies come with detailed factory-applied graphics that you complement with a single colour application, whereas clear bodies require you to paint and design the entire graphic scheme yourself, making ProGraphix significantly faster and easier.
• Will the wing affect how the body looks? — The integrated wing is styled as part of the Bandit's race car aesthetic and enhances the aggressive appearance whilst providing functional aerodynamic benefits, making your RC buggy look more competitive and purposeful.
• Can I use this body on other Traxxas models? — This body is specifically designed for the Bandit and Bandit VXL platforms. While other 1/10 buggies may have similar overall dimensions, fitment cannot be guaranteed on different models.
• How durable is the polycarbonate material? — Traxxas polycarbonate bodies are designed to withstand typical RC bashing and minor impacts during off-road use. The material is flexible enough to absorb impact energy but rigid enough to maintain its shape, and the thickness is optimised to balance durability with weight.
