I think the 1/28 LMP's (and similar bodies) would be too low for the 02 chassis to fit under successfully. F1 might be possible. That said, I'm pretty sure 1/24 models have been used. Somewhere on Mini-Z-Bar lie the pics...
has anyone tried putting on a 1/24 scale slot car body(like the carrera audi r8) onto the f1 chassis?
Now I have a project idea to work on... I have used 'wing' slotcar bodies on MR02/CP2 conversions, but havent used an F1 chassis as the base. I think in some ways it will be harder, but you dont need as much room for the wheels to articulate...
Time to start hunting for some bodies... I do have an old Tamiya Tamtech Porsche body, Ill have to see how it fits. I think the wheelbase will be too short, but not certain. I think that most 1/24 cars have around 106-115mm wheelbase, while the F1 has 130mm wheelbase (just checked my Tamtech Porsche, and it is ~106mm).
I would love to setup a Bently

ON mini-z bar there was one. I know I'd like to have something like that. It would almost be a mould around the chassis with tall wide wheel arches.
I wasn't a fan of the VDS body but really liked the VDSII body lines. Reminded me of the car we are talking about but I don't like the bat mobile rear end. I know it has more to do with aerodynamics but if the rear end went flat straight back and had a nice lexan wing setup like the MRS4's I think it would be much more appealing.
If it was made of hard plastic like the VDS bodies they would be more durable and lighter weight and with the +3 wheels all around it would be very very quick and precise. I love the way the VDSII handles but I think it has a lot to do with the wheel offset. Oh the VDS bodies also sit very low and do not require shims to make it sit lower to look right. It's a true race body.
Cooldragon in Germany has made several prototype carbon bodies with the audi R8 style in mind. He called it the "mini-z condom" and it was too! He had to make some small cutouts in the body but in all it literally was moulded around the chassis.

You wouldn't have a link to some pics, by chance, would you?
I could have sworn there was another thread with some other bodies in it. This was the only one I could find. I dont know if hes ever posted something like that over here. If he has I havent seen it.
