Pro-Line has introduced the new pre-cut Brute Bash Armor body shell for the Traxxas X-Maxx monster truck.

The all-new material is twice as thick as regular X-Maxx bodies and is ultra-flexible to prevent cracking and shattering. Unlike clear polycarbonate, the Bash Armor material is white and is not paintable, so Pro-Line includes detailed decal sheets that feature fender and window graphics to complete the look. The Brute is Pro-Line’s take on a modern truck and features a bold grill with eye-pleasing body lines sure to turn heads at your local bash spot. The Brute body has been designed to work with the stock X-Maxx body mount and cage system which is sold separately and is required for proper mounting.

JConcepts Stampede ’51 Ford Panel Grandma body shell

Coming from JConcepts is the 1951 Ford Panel Grandma body shell for the Traxxas Stampede monster truck. The “Grandma” was one of the most feared vehicles in monster truck racing during the late 1980’s. The 1951 Ford Panel truck was mean, a little green and always known for the most amazing single qualifying passes. JConcepts went to work creating the 1951 truck by once again starting from scratch to redefine a generation design from the “golden years”. The hood of the truck makes its point with a swooping radius and raised badging. The front fenders boast a large set-back to the hood which makes that undeniable stance as a 1950’s panel truck. The stand-up cab screams retro while the side windows are small but large enough for a scale driver to take a look outside. The body line along the side separates the sides to break-up the height between the fenders and top of the dome. The rear fender flare kicks-out in a vicious way to protect chassis components while giving the rear of the vehicle an almost car-like flare. The Ford truck has built-in running boards featuring a diamond-plate look which is found on the real monster while the wheel well openings are slightly enlarged to accommodate a large assortment of jumbo tyres and specifically, JConcepts’ Rangers and Fling King tyres. The front grille is made as a secondary part to get the utmost detail and 3D design which can be painted or decorated off the vehicle for the most convenience. After trimming, the front grille can be attached (using not included double-sided tape) into the recessed portion on the body as the finishing touch to this ultra tough and memorable piece. The body comes clear, including window masks and a decal sheet and it fits all Stampede-based Traxxas monster trucks.

JConcepts Ford F-250 Traxxas Stampede body shell

Coming from JConcepts is the Ford F-250 body shell for the Traxxas Stampede truck. The 1989 Ford body built and fit for the Traxxas Stampede offers first class styling and its exterior is accentuated with a smooth and moulded front and rear bumper. The must-have body of the 1980’s was featured on several of the most popular full-size monster trucks during this generation and always proved to be popular among the Ford enthusiasts and always wreaked havoc on the competition. The 1989 F-series carries over the same body style from the previous generation, yet sports a new rounded front clip that improves vehicle aerodynamics over its predecessors. The softened body lines around the rear of the bed and large fender arches around the wheel wells provides the scale monster truck look. The body features flush-fitting grille and headlights, wrap-around parking lights, a minimalist grille and an accurate and clean-looking Ford and JConcepts decal sheet.
