TFQoN, You can paint the clear lexan body shell any color you want, yes, even pink. They're painted from the inside, so the outside stays nice and glossy.

I like how most RC cars come in 1:12 minimum (bad pun ), but this one is in 1:10.

I have a CEN 4wd nitro-powered RC Mini. It came with John Cooper Challenge decals on it. It is the off-road version of the one above, I think. It is pretty cool. I scored it off of eBay over a year ago. The cost was sub $300. Here is what it looks like (scroll to bottom):

Ummm, I don't think so. Look at the specs on the buttom. The width is only 165mm, so I'm not sure it would even fit AT ALL. 190mm body is pushing it on a 200mm, especially a WB.

Measure your car and see....but my guess would be no.

-Cody

Edit* I just measured mine and it would fit my car. I'm sure about WB though.

Measure it and see! My WB is ~8", so it would be short on both sides, but it would fit.
