With the rear offset of the HPI VTA rims and tires the shells will not fit. But other companies make same to similar bodies. So it should nor is it a big deal imo
But I dont see it an issue in GT.

If they don't fit then it does not matter if they are on the list. They are just really good looking shells. I want all of the best ones to be legal, but if they don't work then they don't work.

But, alas, it is too narrow for our chassis/wheels. I tried it. The guy I did it for said that he and some other guys were running the Vaterra's locally because their hobby shop started that class. But, obviously, its a club class just at that location.

If the paint is good and cured on both pieces then you can shoo goo it on. I would lightly sand the outside of the lip on the body before you shoo goo. The edge on the body that tucks under the nose piece. Some racers need to use the rivets. Some use rivets, shoo goo, and drywall tape. This was a great shell for me. Good luck.

This body is the handiwork of Jeff Matthews from Columbia, SC. There are spots where the body is "rusted through". I really like the shattered window (although it would likely be considered illegal in official USVTA competition). Jeff has made "rusted" wheels as well, but I don't have them.
