2021 FORD BRONCO CLEAR BODY— #PRO359100

At the top of our list is the Pro-Line 2021 Ford Bronco clear body. This body is ideal for 1/10-scale monster trucks like the Arrma Granite and Arrma Vorteks or other like trucks that have a 10.5-inch wheelbase. We like this body since it is a departure from the typical pick-up style body that is found on many RTR off-road vehicles and has some great scale details. The Bronco is a legendary name in the truck world and its unmistakable retro-modern styling with off-road prowess is perfect for updating a RTR off-road vehicle. Pro-Line gave this body plenty of detail included a detail sticker sheet so that you can create a mean looking off-road rig. The one-piece Bronco body comes clear with window masks and paint-then-peel overspray film.

Pro-Line High-Quality Body Replacements For Off-Road RTR Rigs

PRE-CUT FLO-TEK FUSION TOUGH-COLOR BLACK BODY— #PRO345818

Now if you want to hit your local off-road track or your favorite bash area as fast as possible, you need to check out the Pro-Line Pre-Cut Flo-Tek Fusion Tough-Color black body. This is what you get when you combine the best features from the most successful short course body of all-time with the most aerodynamically advanced race body ever conceived. Large vent holes are found in the front, middle and rear to drastically reduce the parachuting effect. Pro-Line wisely kept the prominent fender flares and front grill that made the original Flo-Tek body so popular. It has large openings and ideal body mounting positions that will allow this body to be used with a wide variety of the short course trucks on the market. The big difference of this body compared to the rest in this article is Pro-Line’s use of a completely black polycarbonate material named Tough-Color polycarbonate which gives you the peace of mind that you will never have to worry about paint peeling or chipping off. All you need to do to get the body ready for action is to place the Fusion wrap decals that are already precut for you and make the body post holes.

CLIFFHANGER HP TOUGH-COLOR GRAY BODY— #PRO356614

Comparable to the Pro-Line Pre-Cut Flo-Tek Fusion Tough-Color black body above, the Pro-Line Cliffhanger HP body is focused on performance and convenience where it can be easily mounted on a rock crawler chassis and excel when crawling. Many RTR rock crawlers have large, truck bodies that can hinder a crawler when it is trying to conquer a gate. To address this, Pro-Line developed the Cliffhanger body specifically for 12.3” wheelbase Class 2 and Class 3 vehicles. It has a pinched front end and a dove-tailed rear to offer maximum clearance while still giving a scale appearance. Pro-Line molded the body in its Stone Gray Tough-Color polycarbonate so you won’t need to paint the body or worry that the paint will chip off. Furthermore, the Cliffhanger is molded from a single piece of polycarbonate to save on weight and even has a drop down bed so that scale accessories can be mounted. Along with the body is a stylish black and red factory livery stickers that also include window stickers. Just remove the protective outer film, apply the stickers and mount the body on your RTR crawler.

VW FULL FENDER BAJA BUG CLEAR BODY— #PRO323863

Not everyone necessarily wants a truck body for their off-road vehicle and Pro-Line has body options to meet that need. A great example is the Pro-Line VW Full Fender Baja Bug clear body molded for 1/10-scale vehicles with an approximate wheelbase of 12.5-inches. With one look, you know this body would be right at home on top of a hardcore sand throwing machine. If you are looking to drop this body on a short course truck, you will notice the footprint of the body is smaller than your standard short course truck and exposes the tires. So if decide to run Pro-Line Sand Paw tires (PRO1016010), the sand can be launched skyward while blasting across the surface instead of being collected inside the body. Pro-Line even took the trouble and got this body officially licensed and included the typical overspray film, window mask and sticker sheet.

1978 CHEVY K-10 CLEAR BODY— #PRO359800

The absolute largest body in this group is the massive Pro-Line 1978 Chevy K-10 body that is nearly 30-inches long and fist trucks with a 19.74-inch wheelbase like the giant Axial SCX6 crawler. Old school, square body fans will love this body and appreciate that Pro-Line took the extra steps and secured licensing from GM to produce this pick-up truck body. The ’78 Chevy K-10 styling is arguably one of the most popular trucks from that generation. The extra thick 2mm crystal clear polycarbonate is beautifully molded with the same body lines and squared-off style that you would find on the full size 4×4. The extra thickness of the polycarbonate will be welcomed out on the trail for those inevitable run-ins with rocks and branches not to mention rollovers. Like all of Pro-Line bodies, this K-10 comes with a detail sticker sheet, window mask and the indispensable paint-then-peel overspray film that protects the body from overspray.

1985 TOYOTA HILUX SR5 CLEAR BODY— #PRO346600

Scale body details are something that we at RC Driver are drawn to and this led the Pro-Line 1985 Toyota HiLux SR5 clear body onto this list. Out of the seven bodies shown here, the Toyota HiLux SR5 is the only one that comes in two separate pieces…the cab and the bed. This allows you more options if you are looking for a fully customized look and run just the cab portion of the body without the rear bed. The body is intended for 1/10-scale crawlers with a 12.3-inch wheelbase. Pro-Line did an awesome job in capturing the fine scale details of the full-size 1985 Toyota HiLux which is officially licensed by Toyota. It is constructed of crystal clear genuine GE Lexan, has paint-then-peel overspray film on the outside of the body, includes a detailed decal sheet which will all help ensure your truck looks incredible once you lay down your very own paint scheme. Please keep in mind that the roll bar with lights are not included with this body.

1946 DODGE POWER WAGON CLEAR BODY— #PRO356500

There is no question that the small 1/24-scale off-road crawlers are hugely popular right now with the Axial SCX24 leading the charge. Pro-Line offers six different bodies for the pint-sized truck and our favorite is the 1946 Dodge Power Wagon which comes clear so that you can create the look you want. Similar to the other Pro-Line bodies, the Power Wagon is protected by paint then peel over-spray film along with window mask and a decal sticker sheet. Even in this small package, the Pro-Line designers did a great job of capturing the tough off-road features of the real truck. It has its menacing front grill, large flat panel style fender flares over each tire and rounded windows. Depending on the SCX24, you may need to change the body mounts to get it installed.
