Yeah the others are discontinued VW license issues forced them out. The only one I know of at this point is the one at CKRC.

i was looking at the parma bug, and chose the ckrc baja instead... it looks as if the parma's hood doesnt slant or curve down in front as much as the hpi or ckrc bug bodies do (which would help aid in roll-over recovery). it is a better option than most out there tho...

I would highly recommend the CKRC VW body. But you can also try e-Bay. Search Tamiya Volkswagon Beetle. The only thing a can see is that the body post and antenna holes are pre-drilled.

I own a HPI bug but just bought a used Tamiya Bug from the M-L chassis just to see how it will do ...Click the image to open in full size.

paid $7 for it (shipping another $10) perfect for chopping up


No need to go for the Kamtech since the Tamiya will be cheaper, the Kamtech is a copy of it and Kamtech is based in the UK so thats extra shipping for you...
