They are 200mm wide so the wheels will be tucked in a bit or you can run some larger hexs or different offset wheels if you wanted. I myself would stick with the 0mm offset and standard wheel hex's because the car tends to work better this way and just have a bit more wheel tuck inside the body.
Thanks for the info. Looking at the USVTA site it says they have a limitation of up to a 5000mah battery?

Thanks for the tip on the body. I am going to sit down with her and show her the various bodies available initially from HPI to get an idea of what she likes from there. She'll probably start with some VTA tires as I believe I got a set on the way too.

Lastly, anyone got a setup they recommend for Xray T3s on carpet to start with?

Thanks everyone for all your help!
