I ran this past weekend without the bug body, and I will never comp without one again, Having the bug body would have saved me 30 points for the weekend, that adds up fast

Sometimes I don't understand companies. How could they not see that they sell well to the crawler guys? Do they even look at their sales charts? Unless they lost their license for it (but their other vw stuff is still there), I don't see why they would do this. I have never been a fan of that body but I know alot of people here are. silly.

Is it HPI's doing or just at tower hobbies???

I used the bug body since I started till the beginning of this season. And it was a good body to use, but have since went with the proline desert rat body and really haven't looked back.

Why people don't like the bug body is beyond me. Its a functional body that meets our size requirements. Still have to cut it up so it clears during articulation but all bodies need some type of modding.

There is a huge assortment of bodies to choose from. I'm sure if the losi grappler worked as well as a bug body everyone would dislike it also , and that's just silly.

But remember " to each is own ".

I don't get it. I just pulled one off the shelf from my LHS, about two weeks ago. He can obviously still get them.

He may have already had it stock from previously.
