model bodies have a wheelbase which require some modification to get the xmod to fit.

The li-ion gamebot battery would technically work but probably doesnt have appropriate discharge capability to keep up with the motor in your xmod. It wont last very long....

I think there might be a tutorial or two around here on mounting bodies, just have take a look around the tutorial section.

When doing a model, it'll be better to do it on a Evo chassis, as they are easier to extend. There has been A LOT of threads covering these the two questions you asked, search a bit before you ask.

this is why you extend the chassis, so the body looks real

Yes there is. Thats why you search, if you have then you didn't need to ask this question.
