Key Features
- Licensed BIGFOOT® No. 8 Design — This body carries an official license from the iconic BIGFOOT® brand, meaning you're getting authentic monster truck styling that's recognised worldwide. The legendary No. 8 livery is instantly recognisable and adds genuine character to your RC rig that generic body shells simply cannot match.
- Fully Painted Finish — The body arrives pre-painted in stunning detail, eliminating the need for spray painting, priming, masking and all the associated preparation work. This saves you significant time and effort whilst guaranteeing a professional factory finish that matches Traxxas standards perfectly.
- Pre-Applied Decals — Rather than supplying loose decal sheets that require careful application, the BIGFOOT® No. 8 livery comes pre-applied at the factory. This means you get perfectly aligned, bubble-free graphics without the skill and patience normally required for manual decal application.
- Fully Assembled Body Cage — The protective body cage comes pre-installed, meaning there's no separate assembly required before mounting. The cage protects your shell from impacts and bash damage whilst maintaining the authentic BIGFOOT® appearance.
- Pre-Installed Body Supports — The internal support structure is already fitted, which maintains shell rigidity during aggressive driving and prevents flex that could distort the painted finish or crack the polycarbonate material.
- Tailgate Protector Included — A dedicated protector for the rear section comes pre-installed, safeguarding the tailgate area from impact damage during high-speed runs and jumps.
- Ready-to-Mount Design — Everything comes assembled and ready to attach to your X-Monster chassis using standard Traxxas mounting hardware. Simply mount and drive — no body work preparation required.
- Polycarbonate Construction — The shell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material that balances lightweight performance with impact resistance, ensuring your body can handle the demands of serious RC driving without excessive weight penalty.
Technical Performance
The X-Monster Bigfoot No. 8 Body is engineered as a direct replacement for the X-Monster platform, compatible with Traxxas X-Monster chassis configurations. The polycarbonate shell offers exceptional durability for bashers and competitors alike, providing a perfect balance between protective rigidity and weight management that experienced RC enthusiasts demand. The fully assembled construction eliminates installation variables, ensuring consistent results every time you mount this body to your chassis. The factory paint application uses Traxxas-standard finish processes that resist fading from UV exposure and maintain colour vibrancy through extended outdoor use. The pre-installed body cage, supports, and tailgate protector work together as an integrated system that distributes impact loads effectively, protecting both the body shell and the chassis underneath during aggressive driving, jumps, and bash sessions. The polycarbonate material maintains its clarity and impact resistance across a wide temperature range, making this body suitable for year-round RC driving throughout the UK climate. The pre-applied decal application ensures graphics longevity without the adhesion issues that sometimes occur with manual decal application, particularly on polycarbonate surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Traxxas X-Monster Bigfoot No. 8 Body suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Since the body comes fully painted with pre-applied decals and is pre-assembled with all internal components installed, beginners can achieve professional results immediately with zero painting or decal application skills required. Simply mount it to your chassis and drive. This removes a significant barrier to entry for new RC enthusiasts who might be intimidated by body preparation work.
- Do I need to paint this body? — No. The body arrives fully painted in factory finish with professional application standards. The pre-applied decals mean you don't need to apply any graphics either. It's ready to mount straight from the box.
- What tools do I need to mount this body to my X-Monster? — You'll need only basic tools to attach this body to your X-Monster chassis using standard Traxxas body mounting hardware. Consult your X-Monster manual for specific mounting instructions and fastener requirements.
- Will this body work with other Traxxas monster trucks? — The TRX7691 is specifically designed for X-Monster and X-Maxx platforms. It is compatible with Traxxas X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck models and Traxxas X-Maxx Ultimate configurations across all available colours. Do not attempt to fit this body to other Traxxas monster truck platforms as it may not align properly.
- How durable is polycarbonate for RC bashing? — Polycarbonate is an excellent choice for bashers and competitors. It offers strong impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight, meaning your body can absorb significant impacts without cracking. The pre-installed cage and supports provide additional protection for the shell structure during aggressive driving and jumps.
- Can I modify this body? — The polycarbonate material can be trimmed, drilled, and modified using standard polycarbonate tools if you want to customise the body fit for your specific chassis configuration or add custom features. However, this is entirely optional as the body comes ready-to-mount.
- What is the difference between this BIGFOOT® No. 8 body and other X-Monster bodies? — This body features an official BIGFOOT® licence, meaning you're getting authentic monster truck styling that's recognised worldwide. The iconic No. 8 livery is instantly identifiable and carries the heritage of legendary monster truck racing. The fully painted, pre-assembled design with pre-applied decals means you get professional appearance immediately, without the body preparation work required by unpainted or partially-finished alternatives.
- How do I care for and maintain this body? — Clean your body regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges that might damage the paint finish. Store the body indoors away from direct sunlight to preserve paint colour vibrancy. Inspect the shell periodically for cracks or impact damage, and replace if necessary to maintain your truck's appearance and protect the chassis underneath.
- Is this body waterproof? — Polycarbonate shells are inherently water-resistant due to their material properties. However, the internal cage, supports, and mounting components may have areas where water could enter. Ensure your chassis electronics (motor, ESC, servo) are appropriately sealed for wet conditions if you plan to drive in wet weather or wet grass environments.
