hi guys i want to get a 3D primted rs200 evolution body shell. I thought pf scalextric body but to scaleauto size + some mods. Then the chassis too custom built s i can try out some ideas that if work out will be a one off build plus possibly a body kit to widen the wheel arches by a couple of mills. These are wht i need so far but i have lots more plans too. Any ideas where i can get this built (3D printed)? Any thoughts welcome

Unless the 3D file exists for your exact needs then it'll need someone spending umpteen hours on the computer before printing... which will be expensive!
The printing is the easy part.

The base file is out there.
But those wanting bespoke work should consider a few things:
1) Cost of the base file
2) Cost of the CAD work to do the mods desired
3) Iterative cost if prints are not satisfactory
4) Modeling required to finish the car.
You are basically hiring someone, unless they have the same desire as you do to have that car in that configuration.
