Have seen the Grappler body and it looks great..

look through the mini T bodies. most should fit. I'm using the Bronko body. Plus I just picked up the mini grappler. TCS also makes a scale Jeep body...atleast I thinks it TCS.

TCS scale Jeep body:

RCP has the PTI JL (Jeep Look-a-like) body:

If you can find a Losi Mini or Mini Mega Baja body, those would work also, but VW cracked down on Horizon for those "copyright design infringements" so you'll have to check what may remain in inventory at local shops or on line.

I got this Parma body:: http://www.shopatron.com/product/par...93.13982.0.0.0

Is that true? If so it explains the dumb decision to get rid of the Mini Baja. If it was just because of the body they should have at least replaced it. The Mini T offers so much less.

Yup, we found out from our Horizon Rep the day that VW's lawyers called them. Horizon had the Micro Baja, the Mini Baja, and the Mini Mega Baja off their site within an hour of the phone call.

VW must have upped their licensing fees too, I think that's why HPI disco'd the ever popular Bug body.

Would a mini-dt body fit?

Mini DT? If you meant a Mini T body, it should, but personaly, I've never been a big fan of stadium bodies on crawlers. That's just me.

Calicrawler23 · 11-10-2008, 08:19 PM

Mini Desert Truck I like the look of them.

CreepyCrawl · 11-10-2008, 08:32 PM

Ah...

Yes it should fit. Any 1/18th body should work, it just becomes a matter of personal taste.

Interesting. Maybe I can get top dollar for my "rare" Mini and Micro Baja bodies on eBay! :-P
