|  Best place for Micro bodies?
I've got a trail trekker on its way in the mail and while it makes its way here I've been looking for different bodies to replace the bland stock one. Anybody have any go-to sites I should be checking out? I don't have any local hobby stores that carry anything close to 1:20 or 1:24 models. |

To be honest there are none that are direct fit. Everyone here uses toys and models to make their rigs. That's really the only way to do it! Best of luck!

eBay is your best bet. Most 1:20 scale models are discontinued, so it's the only place really. As for 1:24/1:25 scale, they're easier to find.

I've been finding that exact thing, that 1:20 bodies are non-existent. Not having a direct fit doesn't bother me, as with all things crawling sometimes you have to make things fit where you need them to. I didn't know if there was a favorite place to get plastic models from. eBay I guess is the best place. |

What's the first thing you look for to see if a toy body would fit, especially if they don't state a scale? I'm assuming wheelbase?

Around 4 inch wheelbase is good reference point
