Default bodies that fit the driftstar?

I purchased a brusless drift star and I'm loving it. However, I would like a different body (shell) for it. I have the orange/black one, but I don't want to get another one of the same bodies just different color. Are there any bodies from different people that would fit the driftstar? Links would be great :]

Should get you what you need. Wheelbase on driftstar/champion is 260mm. Should be able to find you something there.

This is the first time i've bought a body for an rc so I don't really know which dimensions I should look at. Do I only have to look at the width (200mm) and the wheel base (260mm), or does the length/height matter too. Also how exact does the wheelbase have to be?

width is the biggest. Wheelbase will just need to be close mm wise.

how close is close? 5mm? 10mm? and so length doesn't really matter, as long as wheelbase is right?

If you have a local shop. Take the car and they can help you find a body that fits.

The wheelbase is what I look at the most.
