Overview
The Traxxas Body, Jato 3.3, ProGraphix (TRX5511R) is a premium replacement bodyshell designed specifically for the legendary Traxxas Jato 3.3 RC truck. This is not just any RC car body—it represents Traxxas' commitment to delivering professional-quality aesthetics without the complexity. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to refresh your Jato 3.3, a competitive racer wanting a fresh look for your competition truck, or someone exploring ready-to-race RC vehicles in the UK market, this ProGraphix body offers an exceptional opportunity to personalise your machine whilst maintaining factory-standard quality and fit.
What makes this replacement body truly special is Traxxas' unique ProGraphix painting process. Unlike traditional RC car bodies that require you to paint everything from scratch, the Jato 3.3 ProGraphix body arrives with the detailed graphics already fully painted with crisp, clean lines and smooth professional fades. The remainder of the body shell is clear polycarbonate, which means you simply need to add your own splash of colour to create a completely customised look. This innovative approach eliminates the most difficult and time-consuming part of body customisation—painting fine details and achieving professional graphics—whilst still giving you creative freedom to choose your main body colour. It's the perfect balance between personalisation and convenience for RC car enthusiasts in the UK who want results that look like they came from a professional paint shop.
The Jato 3.3 is one of the most iconic and respected high-performance RC trucks on the market, and this ProGraphix body ensures your truck looks as impressive as it performs. The body comes fully trimmed and ready to paint, meaning there's no additional cutting, filing, or preparation required—just grab a can of Traxxas ProGraphix paint in your chosen colour, apply it, and you're ready to get racing. For anyone seeking quality RC bodyshells UK retailers can be proud to stock, this is a genuine, authorised Traxxas product that delivers professional results with minimal effort.
Key Features
- ProGraphix Pre-Painted Graphics — The detailed graphics are fully painted at the factory, featuring crisp, clean lines and smooth colour fades that would normally require professional airbrushing skills to achieve. This eliminates the most technically difficult aspect of body painting, allowing you to focus only on applying your chosen main body colour.
- Clear Polycarbonate Base Colour — The main body colour area is transparent polycarbonate, giving you complete creative freedom to choose any colour you desire. Simply spray your chosen Traxxas ProGraphix paint colour, and the combination with the factory-painted graphics creates a fully personalised, professional-looking result.
- Fully Trimmed and Ready to Paint — Unlike unpainted bodyshells that require cutting and final trimming, this body arrives completely trimmed with all windows, vents, and details already cut to perfection. You can start painting immediately without any additional preparation work.
- Included Rear Wing with Hardware — The body package includes a fully assembled rear wing with all necessary mounting hardware, so you have everything needed to mount the body onto your Jato 3.3 chassis straight away.
- Factory-Applied Overspray Film — A protective overspray film comes pre-applied to the body, protecting the pre-painted graphics during transit and storage, and remaining in place until you're ready to paint.
- Polycarbonate Construction — Built from durable polycarbonate material, this body offers excellent impact resistance and flexibility, essential qualities for a high-performance RC truck body that needs to withstand bashing and racing impacts.
- Quick and Easy Professional Results — Traxxas has engineered the ProGraphix process to deliver instant, professional-quality results that require very little painting expertise. Even first-time painters can achieve show-quality finishes, making this ideal for anyone new to customising RC cars UK-wide.
Technical Performance
The Jato 3.3 ProGraphix body is engineered as a direct replacement for the painted body on Traxxas' flagship Jato 3.3 RC truck. Manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate, this material provides the perfect balance of durability and weight distribution needed for high-performance RC racing and bashing. The body's aerodynamic design has been proven through years of Jato development, ensuring optimal airflow and stability at speed. The pre-painted graphics demonstrate Traxxas' advanced multi-stage painting process, which creates professional-grade results that rival custom paint shops. The factory-trimmed construction means every window, door line, and vent opening is precisely cut to Traxxas' exacting standards, ensuring perfect fitment on your Jato 3.3 chassis. The inclusion of the rear wing and mounting hardware means you have a complete aerodynamic package designed to improve high-speed stability and handling. The pre-applied overspray film protects the graphics during storage and shipping, maintaining the factory finish quality until you apply your chosen colour. Whether you're running a standard or modified Jato 3.3, this body maintains compatibility with all standard mounting points and accessories designed for the Jato 3.3 platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is ProGraphix and how does it differ from a standard painted RC body? — ProGraphix is Traxxas' proprietary painting process that pre-paints all detailed graphics onto the body before it leaves the factory. Unlike standard painted bodies where you paint the entire shell, ProGraphix bodies have the complex graphics already complete, so you only need to add the main body colour. This saves hours of difficult painting work and ensures professional-quality graphics every time, making it ideal for RC enthusiasts UK-wide who want showroom-quality results without professional paint shop skills.
- Will this body fit my Jato 3.3? — Yes, this is a genuine Traxxas replacement body designed specifically for the Jato 3.3. It uses the same mounting points and assembly method as the original body, ensuring perfect fitment on all standard Jato 3.3 chassis and configurations.
- Do I need special paint for this body? — Traxxas ProGraphix paint is recommended for the best results and colour matching, as it's formulated to work perfectly with the ProGraphix process and provide durability for high-performance RC trucks. However, standard RC spray paints and airbrush paints can also be used if you prefer a different colour range or already have paint on hand.
- What colour options are available with ProGraphix paint? — Traxxas offers a wide range of ProGraphix paint colours, allowing you to truly personalise your Jato 3.3 to your preferences. Check with your local RC retailer or Traxxas' official website for the current colour palette available.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The ProGraphix body is actually perfect for beginners because it dramatically simplifies the painting process. The pre-painted graphics eliminate the most technically challenging part of body customisation, so even first-time painters can achieve professional results by simply applying one colour coat.
- How do I prepare the body for painting? — The body arrives fully trimmed and ready to paint. Simply remove the protective overspray film, mask off any areas you want to keep unpainted (such as windows), and apply your chosen colour. No cutting, filing, or additional preparation is required.
- Can I use this body on a modified or upgraded Jato 3.3? — Yes, this body is designed to fit all Jato 3.3 configurations, including those with upgraded electronics, suspension, or performance modifications, as it uses the standard mounting points and doesn't interfere with internal chassis components.
- What makes Traxxas bodies different from other RC manufacturers? — Traxxas bodies are renowned for precision engineering, perfect fitment, and innovative features like ProGraphix that set them apart. Traxxas invests heavily in aerodynamic testing and manufacturing quality control, ensuring that replacement bodies maintain the same performance standards as original equipment.
