RS1 should fit easily, with loads of room to spare in the wheel wells. I found it pretty easy to set up.

On the one pictured below, I've got 7mm wheel hexes, slammed the body down using M03 front body mounts on the rear and lopped off 5-10mm from the bottom edge of the shell. Wheels still tuck in perfectly.

Fitting shells can be tricky and frustrating. I've screwed up a few.
