Default GP2 Hex size?

I was wondering what the size is for the hex washers for the Gp2?

I saw these but they have no documentation on size.

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXTT64&P=Z

Is it 12mm? 14mm?

I'm getting a used one soon and I'd like to change the wheels along with many other parts. Anybody also know what size of bodies it will fit on well? 190mm?

They are 12mm like most 1/10 onroad. The bodies are 200mm for nitro and 190mm for electrics.
To change wheels, you don't need those, the wheels are held onto those by regular ole' locknuts. Just remove nut, pull off tire, put new one on, tighten nut back down, GO GO GO!!!

Awesome, so any heads up on this car? Anything I should worry about? Any considerable hop ups?

I would recommend getting a HPI primeless fuel tank to minimize air leaks.

As for hop-ups, there are quite a few CF items and many other things. Check out my garage for a list that I have done to my original SF

HPI springs, HPI 18SS (discontinued), HPI aluminum pulleys (possibly discontinued), HPI exhaust coupler, HPI RS4 titanium turn-buckles, and HPI primeless tank. All can be found on towerhobbies.com

Is it me or, its a lot easier to control it when you have RWD only?

One of my pulleys broke so I took it out and I'm running with only the back wheels, it burns out on take offs, but on the long run its a bit easier to turn, even though cornering has less traction.

I always thought of experimenting like that, but never did.

It's actually pretty fun, a little easier to drift.
