Key Features

• Pre-Applied Factory Decals — All graphics and decals come factory-applied and professionally positioned, eliminating the need for manual decal application and ensuring perfect alignment and finish every time.
• Tough Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material that withstands crashes, impacts and rough handling whilst remaining lightweight to maintain your Maxx's performance characteristics.
• Includes Roof Skid Plate — A protective roof skid plate comes pre-installed, offering additional protection during aggressive driving, rollovers and impacts to the upper body section.
• Tailgate Protector Installed — The rear tailgate protector is factory-fitted, safeguarding the rear section of the body from damage during reversals and backing up.
• Exact Fit for Extended Chassis — Specifically designed for the Maxx V2 with 352mm extended wheelbase, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment with your chassis without modification.
• Clear Body Technology Option — Whilst this version comes fully painted, the underlying clear polycarbonate construction means you have the flexibility to customize the main body colour by applying Traxxas ProGraphix paint if desired in future.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Maxx Blue Body is engineered to exacting standards using high-quality polycarbonate material that balances durability, weight and impact resistance. The 352mm wheelbase fitment is specifically calibrated for the V2 Maxx extended chassis configuration, ensuring perfect body alignment over the wheels and suspension geometry without any binding or clearance issues. The ProGraphix paint system employed by Traxxas is recognised across the RC hobby as providing exceptional colour vibrancy, UV resistance and durability, maintaining its finish through countless hours of outdoor use. The pre-applied decal application utilises professional-grade adhesive and positioning, eliminating the common issues of bubble formation, misalignment or premature peeling that can occur with amateur decal installation. All mounting points, body clips and fastening locations come pre-drilled and pre-fitted with mounting hardware, including the integrated roof skid plate and rear tailgate protector, which are engineered to absorb impacts and protect the body shell during aggressive bashing. The clear polycarbonate substrate underneath the paint allows for future customisation if desired, and a protective overspray film is applied during manufacturing to prevent damage during transport and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this body fit my Traxxas Maxx RC truck? — This body is specifically designed for the Traxxas Maxx V2 with extended 352mm wheelbase chassis. If your Maxx features the extended chassis configuration, this body will fit perfectly without any modifications. Always verify your chassis wheelbase measurement before ordering to ensure compatibility.
• Do I need to paint this body or apply decals myself? — No, this is a completely finished product. The body arrives fully painted in vibrant blue with all graphics and decals pre-applied by Traxxas at the factory, so you can mount it straight onto your chassis without any additional painting or decal work required.
• What makes this better than a bare polycarbonate body? — A bare polycarbonate body requires you to source paint, mask detailed graphics, apply multiple paint coats, allow drying time, and carefully apply decals—a process taking many hours and requiring specialist equipment. This pre-painted version eliminates all that work whilst delivering professional factory-quality results, saving you time and ensuring perfect finish quality.
• Is the body easy to mount onto my Maxx chassis? — Yes, mounting is straightforward. The body comes with all necessary mounts pre-installed, and all mounting points are pre-drilled and fitted with the required hardware. Fitting typically takes just 10-15 minutes, making this an ideal weekend upgrade.
• What happens if I want a different colour in future? — The body is manufactured from clear polycarbonate beneath the blue paint finish, so if you wished to change colours later, you could apply Traxxas ProGraphix paint over the existing finish or carefully strip the existing paint and apply a new colour of your choice.
• Will the decals fade or peel after extended use? — Traxxas decals are applied using professional-grade adhesive and sealed as part of the ProGraphix finish, providing excellent durability and fade resistance. However, like any exposed graphics, they will gradually show wear through extended use, impacts and weather exposure, though they typically maintain appearance for many months of regular bashing.
• Does this body offer any protection to my Maxx during crashes? — The polycarbonate construction absorbs and distributes impact forces, and the included roof skid plate and tailgate protector provide targeted protection to vulnerable areas. However, this is a body shell designed for appearance and should not be relied upon as crash protection—always wear appropriate safety equipment and drive responsibly.
• What is the roof skid plate and tailgate protector? — The roof skid plate is a protective panel covering the roof area, safeguarding against damage during barrel rolls and side-over impacts. The tailgate protector shields the rear section of the body from damage during backing up or reverse impacts, extending the service life of your body shell.
