Default PL Bug body question

I have looked at all of the Bug pic's here and still have a question.

Is the bigger Proline bug body TOO big for a 2.2 Losi Crawler or should I go with the smaller Proline bug? I like the lights in the hood, it's a great look.

I don't plan on being in comps, I'm a scaler but got the LCC free and want to do a rock bug.

Thanks

Have you checked the wheel base?
I know PL has all that info on their web site.

Yeah I did check, it doesn't really help either.

The big body has WB = 12.5 and overall length = 19
the Small bod has WB= 9.6 and overall length = 14.6

I really need someone that has them both

Losi's site says the LCC has a WB of 12.3".
I'd say that's close enough...

I put the PL short wheel base monster truck Bug body on my scx 10 Dingo and it's a near perfect fit.

There's a lot of room to work with when using a beetle body... a lot of fender shaving can be done w/o it looking strange.

I have both. U need the bigger 2.2 body. The mini body is way to small and will look retarded on a 2.2 truck. It won't even fully cover the chassis on the lcc and will sit way to high on the chassis due to it's small size.
