I think the offset is different between the XXT & XXXT wheels - but I have both types so can check for you.
Re; bodyshells - Team Blue Groove do reproductions of both the original style & 'CR' XXT bodies .... the CR has a slightly different shape around the front end which allows for the longer 'XL' chassis. Team Blue groove bodies do seem to come up a touch small in most cases, but being a truck body - a precise fit is probably less critical than for a buggy - just don't rely on the position of the indents for the body mount holes... they weren't in quite the right position on the original Losi moulding - so I doubt the TBG version is any better! http://stores.ebay.co.uk/TEAM-BLUEGR...&_sid=97772842
Of course, within reason any 1/10th truck body can be 'made' to fit, but the proper XXT body has the indents in the rear section which encapsulate the rear shocks & tower - so is able to sit sleek & low, without these 'humps' you'd have to mount the body higher up
P.S; pictures in this thread are required when you receive the truck
