Default 1/25 scale models?

hey there folks, im lookin to build myself a scaler now that my crawler is mostly done. i found some realy cool models online that i would like to use as possible body donors. does anyone know if 1/25 scale or 1/16 scal model bodies would look funny on a 1/10 scale crawler chassis? im looking to use scale toyota frame possibly, but i havent seen many people using model bodies. mostly just hard plastic 1/10 bodies. help me out please?

In the micro scale rigs section, there are people using losi micro crawlers as a chassis. I would imagine a 1/25th scale body would be way too small for a 1/10 chassis.

1/16th might look a little too small and 1/25th is almost the size of the tires of some 10th scale rigs

You're asking if a 1/25 scale body would look funny on a 1/10 chassis. Hmm, let's see.

1/10 chassis with a 1/20 body. Nope, looks perfectly fine to me.

Yea i wish they made a lot of ten scale models and sold em at the local wallmart but thy dnt. So i was just curious as to how big the diff was. But now i see. Lol. Was just thinking cheap easy way to make scale bodies.i do think some hobbie shops carry 1/10 scale models though.
