Default Body Shell, Wheel Size?

Hi. I just joined this forum and am completely new to R/C car customizing.
I didn't have much money to spend so I bought one from argos because it was cheap (30 quid.)
So, the first thing I planned on doing was changing the shell and wheels but I don't know what size to buy. Its a 1:14 scale but I found some that are 200mm size and 190mm. Also, will the holes line up with the stick things (I don't even know what they're called)?
And what size wheels?
Thanks a lot.

hi mate, bodyshells that are 190mm are for electric 1/10th, and the 200mm is for nitro cars, wheel dia. goes from about 52mm - 63mm, which these shells wont fit your car unfortually

stick things are body posts

take a look on ebay and type in scale car you go may come up with optional body shells

I cant find any for a 1/14 scale. Could somebody tell me on a 200mm body shell, what is the 200mm a measurement of?

Is there any way to tell which bodies will fit my chassis when shopping online? My LHS has limited options.

I have a stampede and a rustler fwiw.
