How much does the short arm conversion shorten the wheel base by, and if I use the short arms, am I required to use the Sort arm bodies or can I lengthen the wheel base with the spacers and throw a standard body on?

Mark..if your TB-02 has a surikarn evoIII on it.. and then you put on the TA04-SS arms.. if you shim the arms so that its the longest wheelbase... then YES you can use the regular bodies (nsx, ferarri). ive tried it.. but never actually drove the car. ive always used the MRS body (because its so freaking cool! )

BUT that might be considered a loophole and be deemed illegal at TCS events. since if you are using the SS arms, you might be required to use an SS body (MRS, Audi TT). im NOT sure on that. and im not sure if the SS arms are tied to the two bodies mentioned above. really NOT sure.email fred and have him clarify for you.
