Default Best place to get a body?

My T Maxx has a Jeep Wrangler body on it now. It looks good, but I really want the regular T Maxx body. Where is the best place to find one? I would really like it to be all trimmed and painted and ready to put on the chassis. Thanks for the help.

Your local Hobby Shop should have one.

Yeah ebay is the best!!! No other site thats cheaper for OEM body's. Here's a link
www.ebay.com/itm/Traxxas-T-Maxx-3-3-BLUE-GRAY-BODY-Decals-Black-/330656413482
That's just one example!!!

ebay is great for lots of parts, i use it frequently for rc stuff.....except for bodies. when you counter in the shipping bodies seem to cost more on the bay than the local hobby store. Will the 3.3 body fit your truck...yes and no, the current tmaxx 3.3 body will not, its too long but the fisrt 3.3 maxx body will as that truck still used the shorter 2.5 chassis, just order a 2.5 maxx body to save any confusion.

I have noticed that on Ebay, I found a really nice body for $18.00 and shipping was like 17. I will keep looking around. Thanks for the info about the 3.3 bodies.

Shipping is what is going to kill you on getting a body off of ebay. You would be better off ordering one from Tower Hobbies, Stormerhobbies or Amain Hobbies. Do you have a local hobby shop?

Yeah I only pay about 7-10 bucks for shipping. It's better than the gas money driving 1.2 hours to my lhs.
