Default Sources for 3D Printable Bodies?

I embarked on the wonderful world of 3D Printing a little while back and have kept my Ender 5 Plus running nearly non-stop.
I have done a lot of searching and found a LOT of good accessories and parts available at no cost, and even a few bodies, including the Land Rover Series 2 that is now on my TRX4.
But-

the body shells I have found for free are rarely ready to print (the Series 2 had to be scaled 120% to fit properly for example) including modifying the stls themselves.


Has anyone had experience with any specific sites or sources for good bodies and experience with printing them?


3dsets.com has a couple that look really good- actually complete vehicles including running gear (not the screws, bearings and electronics, etc.)
scale3drc.com is another one that is just bodies but has a greater selection.


Does anyone have experience with either of those, or any other reliable sources?


Thanks for any input.

scale3drc.com has nice bodies that are scalable. I have seen a few printed and as long as you use petg or abs they will hold up in the sun. There are also bodies on cults3d

While I’ve never printed a body for myself, I really like Scale3D RC. Very nice looking bodies, inexpensive, tons of wheelbases, and customizable STL files. I found out about the, by Make It RC on YouTube, and if I ever print a body for myself, I will be going there.
