So here's the story. Today I got a call from my neighbor and he asked if he could bring some stuff over that he thought I might like. So I said sure. A few minutes later, he was at the door with a big cardboard box that had an older Traxxas Rustler, Traxxas Stampede, and a kind of Tamiya Sedan in it. He gave them all to me for free! After some research, I found out that the Tamiya sedan was a Tamiya TL01LA.

The stock body on this car is really beat up with paint chipping off almost everywhere. So my question is, is the car a 200mm or 190mm car. I'm new to the whole sedan rc scene, so I'm just a little confused. I really like the car so far.

here's a picture of it with the bad body:

It came with a better looking Volkswagon Jetta body on it, but I would really like to get something like a Corvette. So I just want to make sure that when I get a new body, it's the right size for the car. Thanks!:)

it's a 190mm body, I have the exact same one. Actually, Tamiya's are more like 185 or so...to add a 190mm body to the chassis, you might need to use wheels with about 3-5mm of offset to fill in the wheel wells.
