Key Features
- Pre-Painted Factory Finish — This body arrives in stunning blue with a professional paint job applied by Traxxas, eliminating weeks of drying time and the need for expensive spray equipment. You can have your truck looking fresh and race-ready immediately upon installation, saving time and money compared to purchasing an unpainted body and handling the painting yourself.
- Factory-Applied Decals — The authentic Traxxas decal sheet comes pre-applied to the body, giving your Stampede that genuine factory appearance. This attention to detail makes your RC truck look professional and finished, enhancing its appearance whether you're racing competitively or bashing casually with friends.
- Universal Stampede Compatibility — This body fits both the standard Traxxas Stampede and the upgraded Stampede VXL variants, making it an incredibly versatile upgrade option. Whether you're running the original brushed motor version or the newer brushless VXL powertrain, this body will mount securely and look fantastic on your truck.
- Clipless Mounting System — The body comes pre-assembled with front and rear body mounts specifically designed for Traxxas's innovative clipless mounting system. This means you can install and remove the body quickly without fumbling with traditional body clips, saving precious time during pit stops or when switching between different setups. The clipless design also provides a cleaner, more professional appearance when the body is mounted.
- High-Quality Polycarbonate Construction — Built from tough, durable polycarbonate material, this body shell is engineered to withstand the rigours of off-road RC driving. Polycarbonate provides excellent impact resistance and flexibility, allowing the body to absorb impacts without cracking or shattering, ensuring your investment stays protected through countless driving sessions.
- Ready to Mount Straight from the Box — Unlike unpainted bodies that require careful preparation, painting, and decal application, this body is ready to install immediately. The pre-installed front and rear body mounts mean you can have your truck looking completely refreshed within minutes of opening the package, perfect for restoring your RC truck to showroom condition quickly.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Body Stampede (TRX3620-BLUE) is engineered using premium polycarbonate material, which offers the perfect balance of rigidity and flexibility required for 1/10 scale RC truck applications. Polycarbonate is an industry-standard choice for RC body shells because it provides excellent impact resistance, allowing it to absorb bumps and crashes without permanent deformation or breakage. The pre-painted blue finish is applied using Traxxas's renowned ProGraphix paint system, which delivers vibrant colour and professional-grade durability that resists fading and chipping even under the intense UV exposure and rough handling typical of RC driving. The factory-applied decals are precisely positioned to match Traxxas's original design specifications, ensuring your truck looks authentically finished. The front and rear body mounts come pre-assembled to the shell, eliminating assembly work and ensuring perfect alignment with your Stampede chassis. These mounts are specifically designed for the clipless latching system, which provides secure retention of the body whilst allowing rapid removal for maintenance, battery changes, or body replacement. The clipless mounting system represents a significant advancement over traditional body clips, offering quicker setup times and a cleaner overall appearance. Whether you're running a 2WD Stampede, a 4WD Stampede 4x4 variant, or the brushless Stampede VXL, this body shell will fit perfectly and deliver the authentic Traxxas appearance that's instantly recognisable on the track or trail.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this body fit my Traxxas Stampede VXL? — Yes, absolutely. This body is specifically designed to fit both the original Traxxas Stampede and the upgraded Stampede VXL brushless variant. The mounting points and overall dimensions are identical across both models, so you can use this body confidently on either version of the Stampede platform.
- Do I need to paint this body myself? — No, this is one of the key advantages of purchasing this pre-painted body. The factory blue finish is already applied with professional quality, and the decals are already positioned and applied to the shell. You can install it directly on your truck without any additional painting, masking, or decal work required.
- How do the clipless mounts work? — The clipless mounting system uses precision-engineered latches that grip the body shell at the front and rear, holding it firmly in place without traditional body clips. To install the body, simply align it with the chassis and press down firmly until you hear or feel it click into place. To remove the body, press the release tabs on the latches and lift the body away from the chassis. This system is much faster than clip-based mounting and provides an incredibly clean, professional appearance.
- Can I use this body on other Traxxas models? — No, this body is specifically engineered for the Stampede and Stampede VXL platforms. Traxxas bodies are designed with precise mounting points and dimensions for each specific model. Using this body on other trucks like the Slash or Rustler would result in improper fit and potential performance issues.
- Is this body durable enough for serious bashing? — Yes, polycarbonate bodies are specifically designed for the demands of RC driving, including intense off-road bashing and competitive racing. The material is engineered to absorb impacts without cracking, and the robust mounting system keeps the body securely attached even during aggressive driving. However, like any plastic component, the body can be damaged by severe impacts; this is why keeping spare bodies is a common practice among RC enthusiasts.
- What is the difference between this pre-painted body and an unpainted body? — The primary difference is that this body arrives complete with professional blue paint and applied decals, ready to install immediately. An unpainted body requires you to source paint, spend time masking and spraying the shell, allow proper drying time (often several days), and then carefully apply decals. By choosing this pre-painted option, you save significant time, effort, and the cost of purchasing paint and decal sheets separately.
- Where can I buy replacement parts if I damage this body? — RC Model Shop stocks genuine Traxxas replacement parts and accessories, including additional body shells, decal sheets, mounting hardware, and all compatible components for your Stampede. Our knowledgeable team can help you source exactly what you need to keep your truck in peak condition.
