Width:F - 7.9" (200mm), R - 8.3" (210mm)
Height:3.9" (110mm)
Wheel Base:10.2" (260mm)
Love the mustang man.

Ok i have a newbuilt NDS i measured, I could be off a couple mm but its close lol, I think the body will work good, i might have to get one for my NDS lol.
RC10NDS
Wheelbase: 258mm
Rear width: 209mm
Front: 203mm
Now this is from a NDS, both my DS cars have had work to change the wheelbase, I think the NDS has the same basic sizes as a DS.

Thanks man, this sounds good to me. I will probable build my DS before I get the body but I think this us a very cool looking body.
