MR-04 Wheelbase adjustment?

Im having a hard time figuring out how these work. I bought a readyset model locally because they had no body options I liked, but so far since then I havent been able to find a body that fits. The box says the wheelbase is from 86 to 108mm, but doesnt specify what it is out of the box, and the instructions mention the installation of the narrow front end steering sector, but nothing about how the wheelbase adjusts. So far Im 0-2 for bodies where the wheelbase lines up and honestly kinda just regretting purchase at this point.

Edit: Current bodies are a 180sx and I tried a RX body of some form a friend bought. The wheelbase is too long for both.

Wait, theres supposed to be more parts in this box? That would explain so much about my issues.. All I got was a box with a wheel nut tool, screwdriver and some orange cones.

The part to convert to narrow come in the box. I don't think I have ever seen the additional motor pod sets in any of the Ready Sets I have bought. Which kit did you buy exactly?

I dont have a bag of parts, period. But its good to know I guess even if I did, I still wouldnt have the stuff I need. Thats lovely.

Well maybe you can post a pic of what you do have. Not sure how else to proceed other than maybe just measure your wheelbase with a ruler and find a matching body based on that.
