Is it possible to mount a 200mm body to an electric car and just put offset wheels on it? I find the selection of 190mm bodies to be very limited. I want to put a silverado or f-150 truck body on my TC3 but the only company who makes a 190mm one is protoform and its REALLY ugly I think. HPI has nice 200mm ones but nothing for 190mm which is disapointing. I was wondering if anyone could answer this question for me? thanks.
oh also I dont want to do the conversion rally kit to 200mm due to cost issues. I dont think its worth $60 to put a $20 piece of plastic on. I just wanted to know if it is possible or if anyone has any idea's?

Yes, you can put 200mm bodies on your car. If you race, some tracks wont allow it. To do it, you can use spacers that come with most HPI wheels, and use offset wheels to push it out to 200mm.
