Hi, are you looking for new chassis? comparing between ta05 and 4tec? i dont really understand the q.

jedijeff123

i'm trying to get a chassis that fits my body, because my body's wheelbase in only 7.5 (thats my measurement) but all the ones i'm looking at are about 10 in.
can i find any chassis that fits? i plan on modding, so the specs really do not matter

CHRIS CHAVEZ

Wow, that must be one sweet looking Saleen body if your willing to find a chassis to match your body. Typically, you'll need to cut the body to match the chassis. don't worry, just get a nice pair of body cutting scissors and make the body fit whatever chassis you chose. Hope this helps

Is that the body you have?

And times 2 to the body to fit car, Thats just how it is.....

Furthermore, A nice body is cool but a good handling car looks even better. Try and pick a car thats known to handle well like any of the big brand names. By the way, Speedtech or your local hobby shop should be a good starting point

jedijeff123

wait....WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?
how would i do that....
i measured from left side of back wheel to right side of front wheel and came up with 7.5, was that right?
this is body- http://www.hpiracing.com/products/en/7469.html

ps yes it is a great body
got pic of it in pics section of forum.....second one?

CHRIS CHAVEZ

I saw the pic on the HPI website. If its a 190mm body then it should fit any electric 10th scale touring car chassis. Although, you will need to do a little trimming to make it fit right. Good luck!

jedijeff123

its a 200mm
did i measure right
?

CHRIS CHAVEZ

Well 200mm are supposed to be used on 10th scale Nitro cars and 190mm is for electric. You can either go buy a gas car or just have a slighty oversized looking saleen body on your electric car.

jedijeff123

ok, i guess i'll go to my hobby shop and see what they say.....
i just think it would suck to buy a nice chassis the the sprint 2 and find out it does not fit

MrUnlimited

This body is indeed for 200mm nitro. Here are a few chassis you can choose from: Mugen MTX3, HPI R40, Kyosho V-one R and FW-05, Serpent.

many people actually fit 200mm bodies on electric...All you need to do it buy some offset rims. Around 3-6mm offset in the rims will make the wheels stick out a bit more, and fill in the body.
