Default 200mm chassis

How many electric cars are 200mm out of the box?

I'd like a car to run for fun at club level with some of those awesome 200mm bodies HPI do but tyres are a problem. We run on very dusty concrete so the grip is very low, everyone runs premounted Sorex 24's or CS22s or things like that. One option is to run offset wheels to make a 190mm chassis wider to 200mm but you can't find tyres which work unmounted.

OFNA do the JL10E but we can't get it here in the UK without paying import taxes. Is the HPI Sprint 2 (the latest one, orange anodised) 200mm or is it offset wheels?
