Key Features

• Pre-Painted Professional Finish — This body arrives completely painted in a sleek black colour, eliminating the need for spray painting and saving you countless hours in the workshop. The ProGraphix paint system used by Traxxas provides exceptional colour depth, durability and UV resistance, ensuring your RC truck looks fresh and vibrant whether it's in bright sunlight or under garage lights.
• Decals Pre-Applied — The graphics are already professionally applied to the bodyshell, giving your E-Revo that finished, race-ready appearance without the skill and patience required to apply decals yourself. This is particularly valuable if you're new to the hobby or simply want immediate results without the learning curve associated with decal application.
• Fully Assembled with Mounting Hardware — Unlike many aftermarket bodies that require you to source and install mounts separately, this shell comes with front and rear body mounts plus a rear body support bracket already integrated. This means you can have your new body mounted and ready to drive within minutes, not hours.
• Clipless Mounting System — The rear body support bracket is specifically designed for Traxxas's innovative clipless mounting system, which means securing your body requires no tools and no fiddly clips. Simply position the body and it locks into place securely, making maintenance and body swaps incredibly quick and hassle-free.
• Genuine Traxxas Construction — Built from tough polycarbonate material, this body is engineered to withstand the demands of serious bashing and racing. Traxxas bodies are recognised throughout the UK RC community and worldwide for their durability, impact resistance and longevity compared to inferior aftermarket alternatives.
• E-Revo Compatible Design — Engineered specifically for the E-Revo 1/8 scale platform with a wheelbase of 380mm (14.94 inches), ensuring perfect fitment and aerodynamic performance. This body is not a generic fit — it's designed with precision to match your E-Revo's exact proportions and mounting points.
• 1/8 Scale Stadium Truck & Truggy Class — This body is purpose-built for E-Revo's class, making it ideal whether you're running your truck in competitive stadium racing, recreational bashing, or truggy events. The proportions and styling reflect the aggressive, performance-focused design language that defines this category of RC vehicles.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Body, E-Revo, Black represents a significant engineering achievement in RC body design. Manufactured from premium polycarbonate — the same material used in bulletproof glass and protective equipment — this bodyshell offers superior impact resistance and flexibility compared to cheaper plastic alternatives. The polycarbonate construction allows the body to flex and absorb impacts without cracking, which is essential when you're pushing your E-Revo hard across rough terrain or at high speeds on the track. The material thickness is precisely engineered to provide structural rigidity where it's needed while maintaining the flexibility required for durability during collisions and rollovers.

The ProGraphix paint system delivers professional-grade colour and finish that goes far beyond basic spray-on alternatives. This multi-layer paint application provides superior adhesion to the polycarbonate substrate, exceptional UV resistance to prevent fading and colour degradation from sunlight exposure, and a tough outer coating that resists the everyday wear and tear of RC driving. Whether you're driving in bright UK sunshine or under the lights at an indoor RC track, this finish maintains its vibrant appearance. The pre-applied decals are integrated into the overall design aesthetic, creating a cohesive, factory-finished appearance that would take hours of professional-level skill to replicate manually.

With a wheelbase of 380mm (14.94 inches), this body maintains the exact proportions required for optimal aerodynamics and handling characteristics on the E-Revo chassis. The E-Revo is classified as both a stadium truck and truggy, meaning this body is optimised for versatile performance whether you're running smooth tarmac, grass fields, or rough off-road terrain. The front and rear body mounts are pre-installed and precisely positioned to match the E-Revo's suspension geometry, ensuring that the body sits correctly on the chassis with proper weight distribution. The rear body support bracket and clipless mounting system eliminate the need for elastic bands or body clips, providing a cleaner, more professional appearance while ensuring the body stays firmly in place even under extreme driving conditions or during high-speed wheelies.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this a complete ready-to-run RC truck or just a body? — This is a replacement bodyshell only, designed specifically for the Traxxas E-Revo 1/8 scale truck or truggy. You will need an existing E-Revo chassis to mount this body onto. It is not a complete, ready-to-run vehicle — it's an upgrade component for E-Revo owners.
• Do I need to paint or apply decals to this body myself? — No, absolutely not. This body arrives fully painted in professional black ProGraphix finish with all decals already applied. You can mount it directly onto your E-Revo and drive immediately without any painting, decal application, or additional finishing work required.
• What tools do I need to install this body onto my E-Revo? — Because this body features Traxxas's clipless mounting system with a rear body support bracket, you don't need any tools at all. The front and rear mounts are pre-installed, and the body simply clips into place using the integrated bracket system. Installation takes just a few minutes and requires no screwdrivers, spanners or specialist equipment.
• Will this body fit my Traxxas E-Revo? — Yes, this body is engineered specifically for the E-Revo platform with a wheelbase of 380mm (14.94 inches). The mounting points are pre-installed and precisely positioned to match the E-Revo's chassis geometry. It is not a universal body — it is a purpose-built replacement for the E-Revo only.
• What is the difference between ProGraphix bodies and standard painted bodies? — ProGraphix is Traxxas's premium paint system that delivers professional-grade colour depth, adhesion and durability far superior to basic spray paint. ProGraphix bodies like this one feature multi-layer paint application with enhanced UV resistance, making them more durable against fading and wear. The graphics integration is also superior, with decals professionally applied as part of the manufacturing process rather than applied aftermarket.
• Can I repaint or modify this body? — Yes, polycarbonate bodies can be repainted using appropriate RC body paints (never use standard automotive paint). However, this body is already finished to a professional standard, so repainting would be unnecessary unless you want a different colour scheme. The polycarbonate material is also flexible enough to accept decal modifications if desired.
• Is this body durable enough for serious bashing and racing? — Absolutely. Polycarbonate construction provides excellent impact resistance and flexibility, allowing this body to absorb collisions and rollovers without cracking. Traxxas bodies are used by competitive racers and serious bashers throughout the UK and worldwide, making them one of the most durable options available for 1/8 scale vehicles.
• What makes this suitable for both stadium truck and truggy racing? — The E-Revo platform is uniquely versatile, and this body reflects that design philosophy. It's equally at home on smooth stadium surfaces or rough off-road terrain, making it ideal whether you're running track events or recreational bashing. The proportions and styling are optimised for both use cases.
