it depends on how low you put it. if you put the finders above the wheels it wont but if you put the finders right above them then yeah it would. but since i didnt use body posts if the wheels move up and hit the body they will just push it up a little.

hmm i dont think my wheelbase is as wide as yours so i may be able to get away with that body. off to the hobby shop i go! looks like there will be plenty of room for my wireless camera in there

yeah there is some more space in this body then other bodies. is your chassis more narrow or just the wheels?

i use xmod wheels. their offset is the same as the minix but you can shave down the inside of the wheel to decrease the offset.

oh cool. are you gonna write a tutorial on how to do the xmod drive shafts? i would do it if i ever get my battery charger.

well i ran into one of the legs of my kitchen table and broke off the front left headlight assymbly and the left mirror. also the front bumber came off but it was velcroed so i just stuck it back on. i guess i learned my lesson about driving this body. i want a hot rod body for my mini x. do you know where i can get one. i was thinking it would probably have to be a slot car body but i dont know where i can buy these. i have never seen them at my LHS. some links would be nice
