Default 1/14 parts on a 1/16 bruder cab ?

i got a bruder/scania cab from ebay and its 1/16 scale , looking on ebay all i can find are 1/14 parts (axles , springs etc)

can i use the 1/14 parts on my build without them looking out of place or not fitting ?

A lot of people use the bruder cab on tamiya frames. The tamiya axel is a little wider and the wheels will stick out a little... You can use a tamiya acel but you may have to modify the wheel off set to get the wheels placed correctly....search YouTube for bruder r/c and you will see some builds. lots of people have modified the bruder Mack into a tamiya frame. I'm sure you could do the same with the scania...

Actually I retract my previous statement.. I just measured my stock bruder mack and stock tamiya widths at the wheels and they are both about the same overall width. The bruder was 7-1/4" the tamiya was 7-1/8"
