I don't think any are a direct fit. I bought a Parma a while back...

I had to use on-road posts and trim the wheel wells a little but other than that, it's not bad at all!

Here is another Parma Bug Body, but chopped up. I believe that TBG also makes a reproduction of the Dahms Bug Body that was made for the 10T.

Are you talking about the one for the RS4 with the air intake scoop above the rear window? If so I believe they discontinued them and the only version available I know about are the ebay repros of them. As far as those repros go, it's hit or miss. I was happy with the truck body I bought however extremely disappointed with the buggy body I bought :roll:

don't know if it was intended for rs4, seemed too tall. does have oil cooler scoop. not enough of it left to test fit on my sons rs4. I wonder if the ones the crawler guys run are the repros?

Technically, it was for the RS4 MT version not the Touring Car version.

Not sure what the crawler guys you speak of are using, the Proline baja Bug for the Slash?
