  I’ve been looking around at internet sites for extra bodies and such for my bit cars. HO’s look nice, but I’m not sure if they are the right size. For example, would this car work with a little modding?

  Here’s a few others. I wouldn’t mind getting some more selection for bodies.

  I am not sure of the exact scale but they are 8mm bigger than a BCG.
  
  My R32 Skyline BCG:
  65mm long
  30mm axel to axel
  
  HO scale:
  73mm long
  38 mm axel to axel
  
  If you could lose the 8mm between the wheel arches you would have some very kick ass shells!!!

  They’ll fit but you’ll have to mod the body some and/or the wheel/tyres.

  bruce. ive used ho shells on regular zipzaps before. i really had to cut and glue a bunch to get it to fit. se’s are a lot tighter of a fit.
  
  youd be best off making a custom hacked bit chassis to suit the ho shell.
