What differences are there in set up betwen the SWB and MWB cars on carpet at your track?

Like on a lot of other things the body hits the servo mounts on an M03.

You can put the body on but it has to sit real high at the front and it looks crap...

The only 225mm alternative that I know of is the Audi TT from Proline. Only problem being that its been out of production for about 3 years...

The HPI Mini and/or VW Concept are both 210mm, they wont fit.

Solution? Pull out the spacer and run 210mm!

HPI told me the Civic would not fit, and it does.

All of this has me confused. Can anyone post a pic of how the Civic body does/does not fit on an MO3M? Does anyone have pics of a body mounted on an MO3M besides the included swift body? Thansk fellas.
