Just Bought my first car... HPI RS4 kit. I came with a body but noticed Tamiya makes nice bodies for their cars. Someone told me the Tamiya bodies are 190mm, therefore the wheel well have to be cut slightly larger than what is designated.

1.Where do I drill the holes on the body to make the Tamiya body fit on the Hpi RS4 chassis?

2. Anyone see a Mazda RX-7 body?

Check the width of your car and then the width that the body fits, normally, electric is 190mm or so, and Nitro is 200mm or so. To know where to drill the holes, you have to mark them on the body, easiest way I have seen is to put some type of wet marking stuff on top of the body posts and then lower the body on top in a position you want it. And then drill away! Sorry, don't remember an RX-7 body off the top of my head.
