I ordered up a Ferrari 250 GTO body from that 1st site. I had the guy measure the wheelbases on two different bodies, it appears they all are only 100mm. I figure I could make it fit on my DTM-SP but NOT on the X4 
Well, I guess I'll know in a week or so.

You'll find that a 1/24 scale slot car wheelbase is about 1/2" shorter than a 1/24 scale RC car. In addition to that, they are very low profile and not scale appearing making them unsuitable for RC. Drag bodies are the exception but they are usually on the narrow side.

Thats interesting!
I dont understand why they can call all these 1/24th cars then when some are longer and some are shorter?? Wouldnt some really be 1/26 or 1/22? Labeling these correctly would really be nice because then you could find out what fits what, better!

well, some types of cars are scaled, while others are not. some cars like the lemans cars actually are longer and are scaled for 1/24, while cars like the mini cooper are way off because it is stretched.
