That being said if you look into smaller bodies (1/12 or smaller) you can make them fit with little mods... If you want to stick with the larger bodies you'll have to make new chassis and then adapt 1.5 or 2 tanks into it to make it large enough to fit under the truck... I tried 1.5 length Blizzard tracks to work with a F650 body and it was rediculous.
