best place for 1/10 body?

[94exa2]

hey everybody! im looking for the best place to get finished/pre-painted 1/10 scale rc bodies.

ive looked around and only see clear ones, or pre-painted cars i dont want (like a dodge stratus:-? ?)

thanx in advance guys!

It's fairly difficult to get prepainted 1:10th scale bodies that don't come stock with a chassis. The only ones you'll more than likely find are those made by manufactures that they stick on their own RCs (example: HPI Wheely King body, Traxxas Stampede body, Associated RC10 body).

To be honest, just get an unpainted and have a go at it. If it doesn't look pretty, who cares. It probably wouldn't after a few runs anyway! :lol: And, you could always just leave it unpainted; clear bodies look kinda cool, actually.

Cheers,
Kyle.

I was just looking for some the past few hours. Try HPI's website, then find the body you need. 200mm or 190mm.

Other then that, go on Google and type in "190mm Lexan body" or "200mm Lexan body" Should come up with a bunch of sites and from there it's just finding the perfect body.

im looking for a skyline r33,r34,r35 gtr...preferably r34

and i suck at painting and dont really want to pay someone to paint it for me...

you don't need to pay somebody to paint for you.
you cut it out, paint from the inside using lexan paint (like faskolor or tamiya polycarbonate paint), peel off the overspray film and stick on the decals. they also have window decals to imitate a window so no need to worry about masking.

HPI bodies tend to crack easier. just search around until you find a body you like. right now, i'm hoping to scrap up money for an ABC Hobby SW20 shell. they're pretty sweet.

go on the tamiya site. they make the r34 and R35 bodyshells they also have some nice rx7's and s15s. r 32 shells you'll just have to search around for.
(you might have to drill bodymount holes, but that's pretty easy to do. drill and trim it while it's still clear. use sharpie to mark the outside so you know where to cut, and when you remove the overspray film after paint, the sharpie comes off with it.)
