As you can see the body comes with separate sides and a separate airbox. You can run the body with the straight sides on the main body part, but even then with the Xray chassis you will have to cut away a lot of the flat lower portion of the body to clear the links, you might even need to cut a section away to let the battery stick out if you are mounting the lipo across the chassis.
If you want to use a Tamiya body and you want it to look good, choose any chassis but the Xray.

Depends on your definition of fitting. The McLaren body itself will fit over the chassis, but you will have to cut away a lot of the body to clear the side links.
To get the undercut on the sidepods Tamiya have made them as separate pieces. Here are all the pieces of the body set.

Okay, thanks for that , I understand now. The photos from http://www2.gpmd.com didn't show up until I directly pasted the link. Also your last comment on the Xray is really what I wanted to know.
