Overview
The Traxxas Body, X-Maxx Ultimate, ProGraphix (TRX7868X) is a premium bodyshell designed for the legendary 1/7 scale X-Maxx monster truck, one of the most iconic and capable RC vehicles available in the UK today. This is not a complete ready-to-run RC truck — it is a replacement or upgrade bodyshell for enthusiasts who want to customise their X-Maxx with a fresh look. The ProGraphix system represents Traxxas's innovative approach to personalisation, allowing you to create a truly unique RC car that reflects your individual style. Whether you're a seasoned RC basher, a competitive racer, or an RC hobbyist looking to refresh your machine, this bodyshell offers professional results with minimal effort.
What makes the X-Maxx Ultimate ProGraphix body special is the clever combination of pre-painted graphics with a clear base colour. The detailed graphics are fully painted by Traxxas, but the rest of the body remains transparent polycarbonate, giving you complete creative freedom to choose your own main body colour. This hybrid approach means you get the best of both worlds: professional artwork on the graphics combined with your personal colour choice for the main panels. It's the perfect solution for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want a custom RC car without the complexity of hand-painting detailed designs.
The bodyshell comes completely trimmed and ready for paint, with protective overspray film already applied and a decal sheet included in the package. Simply select your preferred Traxxas ProGraphix paint colour, spray the final colour coat, and you'll achieve instant professional results that rival custom airbrushed finishes. This makes it ideal for anyone from beginners to experienced modellers who want impressive visual impact without specialist airbrush skills or expensive custom paint jobs.
Key Features
- ProGraphix Half-Painted Design — The detailed graphics come fully painted by Traxxas, while the main body panels remain clear, allowing you to spray your chosen colour for a truly personalised RC car that stands out from the crowd.

- Easy Professional Results — Traxxas designed this system so that anyone can achieve instant professional results simply by selecting a paint colour and spraying, making premium customisation accessible to all skill levels.
Technical Performance
The X-Maxx Ultimate ProGraphix body is engineered for the demands of 1/7 scale RC bashing and racing in the United Kingdom. Constructed from premium polycarbonate, the bodyshell combines lightweight durability with the structural rigidity required to withstand the punishment of high-speed off-road running and aggressive bashing. At this scale, the X-Maxx is one of the most powerful and fastest RC monster trucks available, and this bodyshell is specifically designed to match its performance envelope. The body's design accommodates the X-Maxx's brushless 8S LiPo drivetrain and 4WD suspension geometry, ensuring perfect fitment and clearance for all components. The pre-applied overspray film protects the pre-painted graphics during the final colour application stage, allowing you to achieve a seamless, professional finish without complex masking or airbrush expertise. The inclusion of factory-applied protective film and a complete decal sheet demonstrates Traxxas's commitment to delivering a complete customisation solution. The bodyshell is compatible with various X-Maxx variants including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck (available in blue, orange, red and green) and the X-Maxx Ultimate in blue and green variants, making it a practical upgrade for an existing RC truck owner in the UK RC community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the ProGraphix system different from a standard painted body? — The ProGraphix system is unique because the detailed graphics come fully painted by Traxxas, but the main body panels remain clear polycarbonate. This allows you to choose your own colour for the main body whilst keeping the complex graphics professionally finished. It's a clever hybrid approach that combines professional artwork with personal customisation, giving you instant professional results without needing airbrush skills or expensive custom paint shops.
- Can I use any paint on this bodyshell? — Whilst any compatible polycarbonate RC paint can technically be used, Traxxas specifically recommends using Traxxas ProGraphix paint for the best compatibility, coverage and professional results. Traxxas paint is formulated to work perfectly with polycarbonate bodyshells and provides excellent durability for RC use.
- Is this body suitable for beginners? — Yes, the ProGraphix system is specifically designed for anyone to achieve professional results. The protected overspray film means you don't need to mask the graphics, and simply spraying a colour coat gives professional results. No airbrush or specialist skills are required — just follow Traxxas's straightforward painting instructions.
- What X-Maxx models does this bodyshell fit? — This bodyshell is compatible with the Traxxas X-Maxx Ultimate and the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck. It fits multiple colour variants of these models including blue, orange, red and green versions.
- Do I need any special tools to fit this body? — The bodyshell comes completely trimmed and ready to install. You'll need the basic RC tools you already use for your X-Maxx, such as body clips or clipless latches (sold separately). Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with RC cars.
- What paint colours are available? — Traxxas offers a range of ProGraphix paint colours specifically designed to complement the pre-painted graphics. Check the current Traxxas paint range for available colours that suit your design vision.
- Is the protective overspray film removable? — Yes, the factory-applied overspray film is protective only and designed to be removed after painting. It prevents paint from adhering to the graphics during your colour coat application, then peels away cleanly to reveal the finished bodyshell.
- Can this body be used for racing as well as bashing? — Absolutely. The X-Maxx is a capable racing platform as well as a basher, and this bodyshell is equally suitable for both applications. Its durable polycarbonate construction handles competitive racing, high-speed driving and aggressive off-road use.

- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
