    This is perhaps a little unusual. We have a 2012 Prius v (lowercase v for the Prius v wagon) skyblue. We recently got into a hobby radio controlled trucks where the bodies are made of lexan/plastic and interchangeable.

    We have tried really hard searching for a Prius v blue body to fit the RC truck (Traxxas Stampede VXL 4x4, 1/10)

    We thought it would be so hilarious to put it on this truck that is capable of accelerating faster than our actual Prius! :)

    Any help is appreciated!

    You could 3D print a body then use that as a form for a fiberglass shell.

    RC car bodies are normally vacuum formed from lexan sheet. If you can find model with correct scale you can use that to create mold and then use that to make those bodies.
