300mm body?

[k0m0d067]

when they quote 300mm, are they measuring width? or length?? someone said a 200mm body would almost fit a savage...so would a 300mm fit on my FastLane extended beast??

[[hs] darkshine]

200mm is wheel width on hpi shells.

[k0m0d067]

300mm between front and rear axles? so does anyone know off the top of their head if 300mm will fit the extended FLM tvps?

[k0m0d067]

nvm...just did the math, and it's slightly less than 12 inches...

[k0m0d067]

so basically, I have no idea if this will fit my truck or not...LOL

thats an RS4 shell. correct me if im wrong but the RS 4 is HPI's touring car??

[[hs] darkshine]

sorry bud i am being a retard. the 200/300/190mm is wheelbase, so yours at 12 inches is 300mm. it should fit and be to scale, dunno bout roll bar, mill head etc, and yes the rs4 is a touring car, damn fun

no, I'M the one being a tard...by wheelbase you're reffering to width? or length? doesn't matter about the body anyway..I went and drank beer and worked on my racer, instead of bidding...LOL

[[hs] darkshine]

lol! i always thought it was width, but 300mm, i'm not so sure now! :eek:

[wullie]

RS4 from hpi is 190mm so im lost now!!LOL

[[hs] darkshine]

i thought that was the micro rs4..just to really add some confusion to the mix!!

SPECS: Body: Length: 20-1/2" Width: 9" (center) Height: 4-3/4" (un-cut)
Wheelbase: 12"
Wing: Length: 8-1/4" Width: 2"


Wheelbase would be the measurement from the center of one front axle to the center of one rear axle on the same side.

yaaay. well done 08! so it's length, not width!

[k0m0d067]

maybe I'll just go topless...

[polystyrene]

it will fit as if you are making the car look like a real car. ie it will almost go all the way to the end of the tyres. we had a doge viper shell which we tried. the wheels bind all the time with this size of shell

I was planning on putting it on my FLM extended/lcg tvp'd Savage-behemoth...so I doubt it would bind...LOL

[polystyrene]

no its binds on width, not length

a savage shell is bout 170mm width

200mm is the width, 300mm is a bit too wide.

if you wanna compare dimensions on shells, look them up against the stock shell on towerhobbies. they have measurements of all shells they sell. easier than guessing

[R6 DADDY]

sounds like a lot of hassle the topless idea is looking good to me but to be fair i have seen the pics of your truck and i wouldnt be driving it anyway. problem solved for me lol

Here is some tower links to a 300mm body and the specs shown, they have the 300mm measurment at the wheelbase :confused:
