If so, keep in mind that the resin body is made to fit HL's KV-1 hull, and that the included wheel conversion set does only include the outer disc of each wheel, while the inner one is the stock one, thus requiring the two to have the same diameter.
Thank you Borealis, I didn't buy the wheels, holding off until I decided which way to go. I was looking at the fit up of the upper to lower hull on the HL, and I will probably have to go with a KV lower hull like you say, but I hope to use the JS-2 wheels/sprockets and tracks though the tracks may need extra links since the KV is longer by about 3/4 inch. Also, since I will probably go with a Taigen lower hull, I'll have to do surgery to the front and rear cast pieces....not looking forward to that...
