Ok, so I was looking through some bodies by Tamiya ® and I was wondering if those Supra and NSX bodies would fit... now I know its not goint to fit snuggly with the wheels but I dont mind if the body is really wide, all I am concerned with is how the wheels will look. If anyone can tell me how it would look, I would really appreciate it. I was wondering how it would look like looking at it from the side.. I was wondering if it would come out lop sided or if it would come out even with the same ammount of space on the front wheel well and the rear.

( = fender
) = fender
O= wheel
_= side of car
. = space between wheel and fender

A. (...O.)_________(.O..) (I had to add dots because w/o it A and B looked the same, but ignore the dots)

or

B. (.O.)__________(.O.)

If anyone could please tell me which one it would look like, I would really appreciate it.

EDIT: Sorry I forgot to include this link.. lol :D http://www.ehobbies.com/models-shop-by-manufacturer-tamiya-1-24-sports-cars.html

they probably will not fit since they 1/24 scale. u could make it fit by chopping away some of it. u have a better chance of it fitting with a 1/25. i found a 1/25 scale shelby that fit just about perfectly, but its a convertible.:mad:

After searching through some of my model bodies, It appears that your diagram "A" lis going to be the answer.. unless you stretch the chassis to fit.. :rolleyes:

poop.. I just ordered an Efini RX-7 for my XMOD™, if it doesnt fit my XMOD™ I'll just make the model and sit it somewhere lol..

EDIT: Oh yea, the model cost me 2 dollars on eBay NIB (new in box).. for 2 bux you cant go wrong. And yes its 1:24, so it should fit with some modifications.
