I just bought a tc6.1 off of ebay. I have a fe sc trucks but this is my first on road.

It has the hpi vta spec tires on it. This means that its not set up for a 200mm body instead of 190mm correct? And if so will any 200mm body work and look right vta or something new?

My vta body was 200mm. I used the 6mm offset wheels just to fit the gap.

Crappy pic.

So i do need a 200 you're saying?

Not sure if all vta legal bodies are 200. Check and see with the one you want. But hpi makes the vta wheels in 0mm, 3mm and 6mm offset.

Looks like they are all 200mm. Yes you'll want a 200mm or get slicks and run a protoform 190 body.

Take a look at this vta section. Look at the wheels you need as well.

Fyi the tires have been hard to find. Many hpi items are weeks out so get another set off ebay if you don't have any spares in case they run out.

Car came with the hpi vta spec and extras as well as hpi x patterns. Would only a 200mm vta body work or could any new model 200 work the same with vta offset?

the entire car spec should be given!

VTA, 17.5, 1s, blinky

I was one of the guys that informed him to run a lighter oil in a gear diff in front, to cure a problem of not being able to get the car to rotate on your more tight tracks.

in sedan and 25.5 2s vta i run spool or thick gear diff, but the car has more power.

This is what I have to work with.

Yes a 200 would be ideal so you don't rub. They make touring car bodies in 200 if you don't want a vta body. I have the protoform p37 190 and fits snug with hpi 6mm rears and 3mm front with x patters (same as your vta offset). The rears are close to the body but they don't rub much at all. All depends if you are going to run vta class or not.

Thanks I appreciate the help a lot. Not planning on racing any class. Just going to have fun with it. I prefer the look of the new touring car bodies over vta.

Ok so not worry about vta then.

Look here at their modern none vta 200mm bodies

Look here at hpi all 190 & 200mm bodies.http://www.hpiracing.com/en/product_...uct_group_190C

Take a look a tamiyas as well. They are expensive though.

Here is my gt3 200mm body I painted.

Ps careful with those tamiya bodies. Some are for inboard shock suspension. They don't have shock towers so the bodies are lower therefore not fitting our tc6.

That looks good! I just bought a zonda body.

I will show a 0$ conversation to master this obstacle tomorrow.

it looks USVTA ready...if you ever get the need/want to sale it...drop me a pm...Ive got plenty looking at the moment

I have that same body and I used regular HPI VTA wheels These for Rear and These for Front

The wheels fit good under the body and dont rub. I can slam the body where the tires upper portion is inside the car and still turn without rubbing.

Are there certain bodies where the offsets are required? I've always just bought these same rims. But this is the only body I have had so far. My next body will be the HPI 68 Camaro maybe that body would need wider offsets for the 200/210mm width.
