Switching bodies from one manufacturer to another is ok as long as it's the same size. if you have a 1/10th car (200 mm) make sure the body is made for that. if it's a 1/12 buy that body size.

Remember, not all markings on the body will coincide where your body posts are. What I do is cut out the excess plastic except for the wheel wells then I do a test fit on the car (take off the antenae) and mark the body posts as well as the stinger, with a permanent marker. Then make the holes and mount the body. Once the body is mounted, I can make the markings for the wheel openings. It's just easier that way since it's harder to make the markings for the cuts after the body is painted.

12th scale cars are not 190mm.

200mm bodies are for gas cars and 190mm bodies are for electrics, generally.

Ok, I stand corrected ... but point being made was stay with the size when going from make to make
