I see the sc18 is ever so slightly longer than the 18r. Can someone with both put the 18r body on the sc18 chassis & take a pic for me, I wanna see how far out it is...
If you are going to run the Skyline body, you are probably going to have to trim the wheel wells a little larger because of the extra wheelbase length. I have an Exotek GTZ body for mine as soon as I get a chance to paint it. That body can be trimmed for a stock length RC18, or the longer wheelbase of the SC18 (which is the same as the R18II Exotek chassis). Plus, its just a killer looking body:


*edit*
Since I have had the flu and have not had a chance to take this truck to the track (and while I wait for the GTZ body to arrive), I figured I would make the stock body a little more 'authentic' looking for a real short course truck:



*edit #2*
I got my GTZ painted and installed:
