Traxxas Body, Stampede (also fits Stampede VXL), Red (painted, decals applied) (assembled with front & rear body mounts for clipless mounting) TRX3620-RED

Overview

The Traxxas Stampede body in striking red is the perfect way to refresh your RC monster truck with a bold new look or complete your first build. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to customise your existing Stampede, or you're discovering the world of RC trucks for the first time, this genuine Traxxas replacement body delivers authentic style and proven performance. The Stampede has earned its reputation as one of the most popular and capable 1/10 scale monster trucks available in the UK, and this vibrant red finish with factory-applied decals helps you stand out at the track or in your local bashing spots.

This isn't just a simple plastic shell—it's a fully prepared bodywork solution that arrives painted and ready for mounting right out of the box. The polycarbonate construction offers the perfect balance between lightweight performance and durability, essential for the rigorous demands of off-road RC driving. The pre-applied decals add that professional finish that makes your truck look like it just rolled out of the Traxxas factory, complete with the iconic Stampede branding that's recognised worldwide.

One of the standout advantages of this body is its universal compatibility—it fits both the standard Traxxas Stampede and the high-powered Stampede VXL brushless variant, making it an excellent choice if you're planning to upgrade your power system in the future. The factory-installed front and rear body mounts mean there's no fumbling with clips or complicated assembly; simply attach it to your chassis using the clipless mounting system and you're ready to get back on the job.

Key Features

• Pre-Painted Professional Finish — The body arrives in a striking red colour with authentic ProGraphix paint that's durable and resistant to UV fading, so your truck maintains its eye-catching appearance through countless bashing sessions across UK terrain.
• Factory-Applied Decals — All graphics are pre-applied during manufacturing, eliminating the need for fiddly decal application and ensuring a perfectly aligned, professional look that's indistinguishable from a factory-assembled vehicle.
• Polycarbonate Construction — The tough polycarbonate material provides excellent impact resistance while remaining lightweight, allowing your motor and battery to deliver maximum performance without unnecessary weight penalty.
• Clipless Mounting System — Pre-installed front and rear body mounts use Traxxas's innovative clipless design, which means faster body changes when you're racing or testing different setups, and fewer parts to lose.
• Universal Stampede Compatibility — Fits both the original Stampede and the newer high-performance Stampede VXL, giving you upgrade flexibility and ensuring this body works with your current or future power system.
• Ready to Mount — Unlike raw unpainted bodies or those requiring decal application, this shell arrives completely prepared, so you can spend your time driving rather than building.
• Authentic Traxxas Design — The aggressive monster truck styling with proper proportions and detailing is instantly recognisable and proven to perform well in both the wind tunnel and the field.

Technical Performance

The Stampede body is engineered from high-quality polycarbonate that combines the rigidity needed to protect your chassis and electronics with the flexibility required to absorb impacts without shattering. This is critical for RC trucks that regularly launch off jumps, crash into obstacles, and endure the kind of punishment that comes with serious bashing in the UK's diverse terrain—from clay and mud to grass and rocky ground. The polycarbonate formulation used by Traxxas has been refined over years of real-world testing, ensuring that your investment remains intact through countless driving sessions. The paint finish uses Traxxas's ProGraphix technology, which creates a durable colour coating that resists chipping from impacts and maintains its vibrancy even under intense UV exposure on sunny days. The factory-applied decals use industrial-grade adhesive and printing techniques, meaning they won't peel, fade, or shift during normal use. The 1/10 scale proportions are precisely engineered to fit the Stampede chassis whilst maintaining perfect aerodynamics and appearance, and the body's height and width are optimised to provide adequate clearance for suspension articulation and wheel movement without creating unwanted gaps or loose-fitting sections. The clipless mounting system featured on this body uses high-quality fasteners that are securely pre-installed, eliminating the frustration of lost clips and providing consistently reliable body attachment session after session.

Compatibility and Customisation

This body is specifically engineered for the Traxxas Stampede platform, and the beauty of the Stampede's design philosophy is that it accepts an enormous range of aftermarket customisation options. Once you've mounted this red shell on your chassis, you can explore the extensive library of Traxxas hop-up parts available to UK RC enthusiasts. Consider upgrading your suspension with Traxxas fiberglass front suspension tie bars, extended suspension pins, or their renowned Big Bore shocks to dramatically improve handling and durability. The Stampede's motor can be upgraded from the standard brushed setup to more powerful brushless configurations like the Stampede VXL, and this body works perfectly with those higher-performance powertrains. Aftermarket wheel and tyre options abound, with suppliers like RPM and Pro-Line offering custom 2.2-inch wheel designs and specialised tyre compounds for different surfaces. The chassis itself can be upgraded with aluminium components throughout—from caster blocks and steering knuckles to hub carriers and camber links—all of which are compatible with this body and will enhance both the appearance and performance of your finished build.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use this body with my existing Stampede? — Yes, absolutely. This body is designed as a direct replacement for standard Stampede bodies and will mount perfectly using the existing chassis mounts. If you have a Stampede VXL, this body is fully compatible with that more powerful variant as well.
• Do I need to apply decals myself? — No, that's one of the major advantages of this body. All decals come pre-applied from the factory, so you can mount it straight onto your chassis without any additional preparation or fiddly graphics work.
• What kind of paint finish is used? — Traxxas uses their proprietary ProGraphix paint system, which is formulated to be durable, UV-resistant, and resistant to the kind of minor impacts and scrapes that are inevitable during RC bashing and racing. The red finish is vibrant and professional-looking right out of the box.
• Will this body fit my Stampede VXL? — Yes, this body is specifically engineered to fit both the standard Stampede and the Stampede VXL brushless variant, so if you're thinking about upgrading to the faster VXL platform in the future, this body will work with it.
• How do the clipless mounts work? — Rather than using traditional body clips that can be easily lost, the Stampede uses pre-installed fasteners built into the body mounts themselves. This creates a secure, rattle-free connection and means faster body changes when you're out at the track or field.
• Is this body suitable for beginners? — Completely. Body replacement is one of the easiest and most rewarding customisations for RC truck owners of any experience level. If you can slide a body onto your chassis and attach two mounts, you can have this looking fantastic in under two minutes.
• What should I check before installing this body? — Simply ensure your chassis is clean and the mounting points are free from dirt or damage. The pre-installed mounts on this body are engineered for perfect fitment with standard Stampede chassis, so there's virtually no risk of fitment issues.
• Can I paint this body a different colour? — Technically yes, but you'd need to strip the existing ProGraphix paint first, which would damage the pre-applied decals. For maximum visual impact and durability, we recommend keeping the factory red finish as it's designed specifically for this truck.
