Fudge It

You may find a body that has the look you’re going for but the wheelbase is slightly off by a few millimeters. You can still use the body by trimming the wheel wells a little larger to make up for the short. You don’t have to stick with bodies designed for trail trucks; for example, you may find a body designed for a monster truck like the Tamiya Clod Buster that has the right wheelbase to work on your truck. So don’t limit yourself—think outside the body. You may just come up with something that will blow people away!

When you pick a body that doesn’t have the same wheelbase as the truck that you’re putting it on, you may have to trim the wheel wells slightly to make it fit better.
