I am diving back into the hobby of R/C. I have worked with nitro planes and boats during college, but relatively new to cars. Ordered a cheap Baja King kit off eBay and was going to take it apart and rebuild it to teach myself. Was just wondering, how does one go about finding replacement bodies for R/C cars, specifically the Baja King. I tried to google for information and have searched on the forums with limited luck. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the form.
A lot of bodies are universal fit and you have to make them fit. The biggest thing is getting where the holes go marked for the body post. One way to do this is put a little paint on top of the body post and set the body on before the paint dries. Make sure you have it where you want it before setting it down on the wet paint. I recommend doing this before you paint it and when you do paint it put tape over the holes to keep over spray from getting on the out side of the body. I all ways do my cutting before painting. Since above link does not seem to be working here you go. http://www.towerhobbies.com/index.html
I looked for a replacement body for your model but could not find a listing on Tower. You might have to get a universal body.
