HPI RS4 Mini bodies

[Chris]

Anyone know if HPI's Mini RS4 bodies will fit on the Tamiya M03 (Mini) chassis?
Thanks,
Chris

No
two entirely different scales. Tamiya minis are small cars in 10th scale.
HPI cars are 1/18th scale

i think you go confused there with the micro and mini,

AFAIK some mini shells will fit but its best to take your car along as the
tamiya cars have a higher front bulkhead.

All of the HPI mini Bodies will fit an M-03 if you have the right parts ;)
There are 3 wheelbase lengths standard to the tamiya mini size cars are 210
225(m) and 239(L)
The M-03(not having an "M" or "L" designator at the end) has a wheelbase of
210 mm. the HPI mini bodies are either 210 , which should fit with no
modificaions, (with the caveat being that the front of the chassis is a
little high, and so the lower-profile bodies may not be as low to the ground
as you would like)and 225mm.
The M-03 can be made into a 225 mm wheelbase chassis with the use of a $6.50
chassis extender from
http://www.carttonic.com/catalog/index.php?file=catalog&action=catalog_produ
ctinfo&uid=466&pi_id=19315&clist=0,13203,14263

I have an m-03 with the above chassis extender and an HPI VW golf body, and
it works great.
Hope I helped,
