Default Painted 190mm TC bodies

Does everyone paint to order or are there already painted designs ready to go?

well I do see bittydesign bodies on Amain from time to time that are pre-painted. Most of them are usually backordered though. They seem okay if you need a body on the fly and can't wait for your painter to do one. But they kind of lack inspiration IMO.

at least lol. My painter has a LONG list of bodies ahead of mine. He hasn't even had time to draw up the design yet and it's been two weeks.

HAH! Yeah man Amazon seriously spoils us with same-day shipping. Especially since most of the time it's free!

Check out thebuildrc.com. It's an RC store out of Hong Kong. They have at least a hundred pre-finished bodies for all types of vehicles. The bodies are priced cheap ($7) since they are just mass produced and most are PVC instead of polycarbonate. I have a couple of the PVC bodies and they have held up surprisingly well. My son likes super cars, so he has a Bugatti, Lamborghini and Ferrari he can switch between and all 3 cost me less than 50 bucks shipped. Shipping is about $10 for 1 body, $15 for 2 and $20 for 3. It's an easy way to have a couple pre-finished bodies at the ready, but nothing beats a custom paint job that you did yourself.
