Default Body Question

What body seems to be the best fit scale wise for the CR-01 wheelbase? The stock one isn't big enough and a lot of the 1/10 scale bodies seem too big. Are there any bodies out there that actually fit the wheelbase without modification?

I just saw a guy on rcu that has the Proline dump truck body on a CR-01 and it looks to be the perfect size. So if you want a dump body you could go that way. I think it looks pretty cool like this

Here, I linked his pic

If you shorten the wheelbase the stock bodies line up perfect

I had mine shortened, but I had no end of trouble trying to get everything to run properly, because it put the driveshafts at such a high angle. What am I doing wrong?

Back on topic, I find that the Ambush and Blazer bodies are pretty close on stock CR-01; Ambush a couple of mm short, Blazer a couple long, but both suit mine well.
