I just want to know if any of you guys know a place to buy pre-painted Revo bodies. I am looking for both Revo bodies and bodies that fit the Revo (charger, hummer, f-350, etc.).

You will have a hardtime finding 'normal' pre-painted bodies for the revos, usually just pro-graphics shells from traxxas that are sold as spares/ parted out trucks, or unpainted pro-graphics ones that have the decals applied, but still need a coat of paint.

Otherwise, its off to a custom shop to pay for a pro-painted body costing $60 upto a $100+...

Those are all for the old emaxx/tmaxx with the shorter wheelbase.

As someone else alluded, I think you're misinterpreting or miundertanding the use of terms. Pre-painted usually refers to stock, replacement bodies; these are offered by every manufacturer. But I think you're looking for custom or specialty bodies, that for the most part are no longer offered by any of the body companies because people didn't want to pay for the paintwork so they sat collecting dust on the hobbyshop walls. What you're likely going to need is enlisting the services of a propainter, and their work usually starts at about $75 a body plus the cost of the body.

No excuses, you're fired! :p

nah, aimed at the old 2.5 revo with the shorter wheelbase.

Best bet woud be ebay, for all manner of bodyshells that will fit the longer vehicles (anything for a 1/8 truggy will fit, or the muggy/LST type vehicles).
