Body modification or chassis
Recently on another forum, a question was posed, where someone wanted to fit a zip body onto a bit chassis. This brought up my question for this poll. I would rather stretch a chassis to fit a body and keep the proportions of the body. Another person suggested that it would be better to chop the body to fit the chassis and make it look like a bit. I was wondering what others would do in this situation.

Fit the Chassi to the body since it would destroy the body.

The chassis, the chassis!
Chop up the chassis as much as you want. That's what it's there for!

Take the wheels off and use a ruler to cut the plastic you're gonna add.

the chasis is natural prey to the dremel! so i'd say strech strech it cuz then more cells can be placed in and also and the body still looks good.

i'd say its waaaay easier to chop a chassis.... yeah you have to deal with wires but its a lot easier to get it straight and lookin ok than a body... i mean getting a u shape channel to fit back together straight is a lot easier than getting a chopped body to fit together and look right... plus one thing i hate about bits is the out of proportion body.

Holy crap you mean I could just go and buy a zip zap !!?
LOL no offense
Close but no cigar. I would still need to shave the wheel wells (which I've done with another body) quite a bit.
