That's a Parma PSE bug body. PARMA/PSE 1/10 BUG w/Wing - Clear Body Not sure on Parma's attention to detail or their lexan thickness durability. I would go with Proline's bug bodies. Mine has survived 2 seasons of comps and the only thing that is a bit weak is the hood to the A-pillar which I patched up. Heres pics: Reinforce Here: CKRC has thicker bug bodies but the rear window is split which is not a licensed VW body but it's all personal preference! |

Thats a different body all together. After some more research it appears that I'm looking for an HPI body which is hard to find.

Thanks! I've looked through the thread with only bugs, and really want to find this HPI body. I'm not a huge fan of the detailed engine, if I do go that route I will cut it off.

It is an HPI but its not a bug guys TMYjeeper and I used to run this body a few years ago. It is an HPI though and the body was really thick Lexan, but it didn't like to flex like other bodies, really just crack on hard hits. I think it was called a TT... Yep It was for the HPI savage called the Baja TT. Dang you beat me! |

I didn't know that as well , bought a few about a year ago and started to build one. The back end has a dished section but looks better than the engine hanging out? | |
