Try your luck at navigating through rcscrapyard.net The sites kind of a mess buy lists lots of brands i forget to look up myself and helps you search for them on ebay.

Is there a specific body you are looking for?

Most of our bodies used fit between 1/8th and 1/12th scale. Even though they run together the aren't proportionally scale to each other and 10th is a very generic term in RC.

There are plenty of bodies available close to 1/8th scale.

Seems everything I find usiing google is like 1/10 or 1/16 and just looks too small . I have a 1/10 Topkick with dually bed on it now and I hate how it looks .. Thanks

Like I said 1/10th in rc is all relative. A 1/10th body can vary in actual scale size from 1/8th to 1/12th depending on the body.

You really have to look and the measurements and see to get an idea what the true scale is. What vehicle are you putting it on and what wheelbase?

 

[saddlehorse]

The wheelbase is like 18 3/4 . it is for an Exceed Maxstorm 1/8.
I do look at the measurements , but all the ones I see only maybe 1 of 1000 show measurements

That's a really long wheelbase. Maybe look at some 5th scale truck bodies and be ready to do some mods to the wheelbase as well.

Thinking now on just brazing up a tube body with panels instead ..
