Default Baja Bug Body for Rustler?

I have a Pro-Line bug body on my Slash, and would love to put one on the Rustler. Which body fits the Rustler good?

Thanks

The proline body is about an 1-1/2 inches too long for the rusty. You can stretch the chassis to make it fit pretty easily. Search for my build " bandit to baja bug". You'll see what was required to make that body fit a bandit. A rustler is the same process.

I am using the Proline Baja Bug (short version) for the T-Maxx on my Stampede.

Looks like that short version of the pro-line bug would work good. About 1.5" shorter than the one for the Slash, and the wheelbase matches the Rustler exactly.

im really surprised proline hasnt made onespecificallyfor the rustler, considering all the rustlers out there and the popularity of that body.

Yeah. That surprised me too when I asked for one at the LHS. I assumed there would be one specifically for the Rustler.
