Hello,  
you can modify the example vehicles, but there are a few things you should consider:

1. it´s better to modify them in your project folder, not in the installation folder → Copy & paste it in your project´s Movie folder
2. .mobj files are encrypted files, therefore you shouldn´t modify them directly
3. to modify a .mobj file, create your own .obj file and include the .mobj file in it (have a look at the MB\_Actros\_1996+Trailer.obj file from our examples, maybe this will already help you)
4. don´t forget to select your .obj file as the vehicle´s outer shell (Vehicle Data Set \> Tab Body \> Outer Shell)
