Hello first of all. I have been around rc and owned real cheapos but this is my first real rc. I bought a used Nitro stadium truck and i wondered do all 1:10 scale bodys fit pretty much with little mods or not? Also, do all stadium 2.2 wheels interchange brand/style? Thanks for the help!:confused:

You can get pretty much anything to fit whatever you want. It is jsut a matter of how much hacking and cutting you have to do and how it looks after you get done.;)
Your best bet is to check out the different manufacturers that make bodies for your specific vehicle. Be advised that not all bodies for a specific vehicle fit like the one that came with the vehicle.

I bought an Atomik body for my RC10GT RTR+ and it fits like poo. Had to hack out the side for the pipe and the mounts are not tall enough to get the body on without flexing the body. Stressing the body will result in cracks especially if jumping. :cry:

Just ask questions here or around where there are other RC folks near you.

Most bodys will fit, but the only body that will fit right is the stock body or a body specifically made for your car. I have made bodys fit cars they werent designed for, they fit, but all needed some cutting that made it look kinda goofy when done, or needed extended body mount posts.

What car do you have and what body are you thinking of using?

Some wheels are interchangeable, some arent. HPI sells wheels that come with adaptors, so you can use them with most brand cars...

I have a Nitro Evader from Duratrax. It's no RC10GT, it has a simular look, but I like it and I think it's a good starter car. I got a killer deal, basically free, and a ton of extra parts. It has the .18 motor and it's like the one in my avatar but the body is green and purple, not the best look for me:shoot:
I am considering a clear stock body that I can paint to my liking but I am really wanting a F150 body so I can make it look like my real truck :rock: anyways I really don't care what it is I just want a different look. As far as the wheels I would like a different look rather than the stock solid colors, maybe chrome or spoke wheel:confused:

i'm not familiar with the evader, does it use hex hubs or just axle pins?

[FadeToBlack]

Pins :rock:

I ordered HPI wheels, Masher 2000's, new front shocks, F350 body, and a tribal flame mask for the body. Should have everything this week!!!:rock:
