Perfect Fits
Please post to this thread with any plastic models you've discovered that fit the Mini-Z perfectly without the need for chop jobs or custom H-plates. Thanks!

italieri humvee models fit. the front mount is difficult, and the motor pod gets in the way of the tailgate, but other than that, no custom H-plates or chopping.

I have nothing to contribute, as my '66 Cutlass required the biggest dang H-Plate I could find, but a thread like this at TinyRC in the Mini-X section might be a good idea, because if there were one 6 months ago, I wouldn't have 10 bodies sitting around gathering dust!
Good idea for any r/c car, actually!

Revelle Monogram, 67 Corvette 427 Roadster. You'll need to open the wheel arches towards the doors just a tad.

The 1/35 scale one? Or is there a different one? I know the Hummer is a large vehicle-type-monstrocity but 1/35 seems like real small. Do you have an item number?

I am not sure
Yours looks a little bit bigger than mine.It covers the wheels alot better.Like a 1/24 scale the one I have is 1/25 and like I said it is tight.I had to file the battery holders down a bit (older frame note the cracks around the servo).

rick, yea, its 1/35 scale, sorry for not posting that. all the humvee models should fit. it is a REAL tight squeeze, its on mid H-plate setting, and the front mount sticks out farther than the front of the body.

Nope - use the "Attach file" feature and you don't have to worry about external servers blocking.
