Basic wheel well question
 
I'm probably missing something obvious here.

I bought a 200mm stratus for my tc6. The wheel cutouts do not line up with both wheels. Forcing me to cut the front opening in the right spotand the back wheel wells back ~1/4" aft of where they're supposed to be. It looks terrible.

What am I doing wrong??? I'd post pics but the site wont let me yet.

Electric TC6?
That's a 190mm chassis with 255mm wheelbase.
200mm bodies are for nitro cars usually.

(smacks forehead) ... thanks.

I only ever had nitro cars previously and have only ever used 200mm bodies, that's it alright. Thanks!

Also, dont ever trust where wheel well lines are on the body. 99% of the time, the wheelbase marked on the body and the wheel base on the car are 2 different things. I always use a circle cutter and make my own.
