Bug bodies

[mmbackpacker]

I am going to get a baja bug body for my WK. HPI makes one. Who else? I know there is a smaller company that makes a couple variations, who is it? Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Mike

Pro-Line but they pulled them .

There is a Parma shell with a smaller nose, smaller overhang in the rear, and I believe there is also a Kyosho shell, but not positive. If you want a larger version, Team Losi makes one. I've modded one to fit my 1/8 scale nitro buggy...

Hpi makes two bug bodies.

The "Baja TT" and the "Baja Bug".

The Baja Bug is the smaller of the two.

Kyosho used to make one for the QRC series, it's closer to scale than the HPI one. 237mm wheelbase and if memory serves me right, 180mm wide.

Good luck finding one, they're very old and the QRC series didn't sell well anw. You're better off going with the HPI imho.

IMHO the Parma bug body looks the most correct out of the current batch of avalible (not sure) bug bodies..."thumbsup"

^^^^ that's the parma
Looks like a Tamiya Blitzer Beetle remould, which is by no means a bad thing

It's not the most correct VW Beetle replica, since it doesn't have the lights on the fenders (Tamiya's M-Chassis Beetle body gets that acclaim). It probably has the best balance between scale and performance though.


If you plan on cutting the fenders off, then I'd go with the HPI Baja Bug

Thunder tiger used to sell one. Im not sure if its still available though.
