-ok i just figured it was a question so i threw it here.
- i meant like models at craft store or what not.

- i think i might just take my xmod there and rip appart boxes until i find one that fits.

I haven't found any bodies yet that fit perfect. my focus I did went on an extended evo long chassis. so if you are looking for a car to fit the best ones are ones that are small wheel base cars.;)

I've heard some people say that Mini-Z bodies fit the Xmods... I can't say for sure though because I've never tried with one of those. Revell bodies have worked for me before.

- yeah i have heard good things about those but i was basically wondering who knows of a brand that has the right scale for xmods...bodies i have tried are not right so there just scrap in my basement.

-or paint attempts ;)

mini z bodies also sell for like 40+ bucks on ebay, kinda expensive.

tamiya bodies seem to be about the best. also a lot of 1/24 scale bodies fit better than the 1/28 sclae.

oh and reading yoru sig. good luck on finding an awd kit, hope your ready to pay 50 bucks for it lol. thats what they have been selling for on ebay.

None of the 1:25 ur looking for would fit a gen1 skyline perfectly...since xmdos are 1:28 not 1:25 so its a bit smaller...So ur best bet would be a miniz body wich isnt 40 but around 20 on atomicmods.com. hope that help.

a 1;25 actually can fit a xmod perfectly, since none of the scales are exact. generally the small scales than 1:28 fit xmods better than a 1:28 scale...

and depends what body your looking for. the suby mini z body i wanted was 45 bucks.
