Key Features

• ProGraphix Paint Finish — The body features the hottest ProGraphix paint scheme available from Traxxas, delivering a professional, high-quality appearance that looks factory-fresh and incredibly detailed. This premium paint system ensures vibrant colours and sharp graphics that stand out whether you're racing at your local club or bashing in your garden.
• Pre-Applied Decals — Every body comes with factory-applied decals already in place, eliminating the tedious task of applying decals yourself and ensuring perfect alignment and professional results. You can take your truck straight from the box to the track without any additional finishing work required.
• Tough Polycarbonate Construction — Built from durable polycarbonate material, this body offers excellent impact resistance and flexibility to withstand crashes, rollovers, and the rigours of serious RC bashing. Polycarbonate is the gold standard for RC body construction because it absorbs impacts without cracking or shattering like plastic, ensuring longevity and durability.
• Fully Assembled and Ready to Mount — The body comes completely assembled with all mounting hardware, the roof skid plate, and the tailgate protector already installed. This means you simply mount the body onto your Maxx chassis and you're ready to go, with no complicated assembly or additional components needed.
• Pre-Installed Body Mounts — The factory-installed body mounts ensure secure, rattle-free attachment to your chassis, providing stability and peace of mind during high-speed runs and aggressive driving. This eliminates the need to source and install separate body mounts, saving you time and ensuring perfect fitment.
• Roof Skid Plate Protection — The integrated roof skid plate protects the top of your body during rollovers and impacts, a common occurrence during off-road RC bashing. This protective feature extends the life of your bodyshell and prevents costly damage to the roof section.
• Tailgate Protector Included — The tailgate protector shields the rear of your body from damage during collisions and rough terrain, ensuring the back section of your truck maintains its appearance and structural integrity throughout your RC adventures.
• Perfect Fitment for Maxx V2 Extended Chassis — This body is specifically designed and tested to fit the Maxx V2 monster truck with extended chassis (352mm wheelbase), guaranteeing perfect alignment, clearance, and compatibility without any fitment issues or modifications required.
• Easy Installation — Pre-drilled mounting holes and trimmed edges mean installation takes just minutes, making this an ideal choice for anyone wanting a quick body swap without spending hours on preparation or fitment work.

Technical Performance

This premium replacement bodyshell is engineered from high-quality polycarbonate material, the same materials used in genuine Traxxas factory bodies, ensuring exceptional durability and impact resistance. The 352mm wheelbase specification means this body is precisely dimensioned to fit the Maxx V2 extended chassis variant, eliminating any fitment concerns or compatibility issues that might arise from third-party or incompatible bodies. The ProGraphix paint system delivers a factory-quality finish with deep colours and crisp graphics that withstand UV exposure, ensuring your body maintains its vibrant appearance through extended use. The pre-applied decals are bonded using professional techniques, preventing peeling, fading, or separation during operation. The integrated roof skid plate and tailgate protector are moulded directly into the bodyshell structure, adding protection without adding separate components that could vibrate loose or become detached. The completely assembled design means you're receiving a body that has been tested and finished to Traxxas quality standards, ensuring every mount point, every edge, and every finishing detail meets the manufacturer's exacting specifications. This is a genuine OEM Traxxas part (part number 8918R), ensuring compatibility, quality, and longevity with your Maxx V2 monster truck.
