The 5t body actually looks a little better with the 1/2" shorter wheelbase. On the Baja the wheelbase actually shortens slightly when the suspension is compressed because of the kickup in the front of the chassis. With a 4wd MT chassis this isn't usually the case and the tires can be centered more in the wheelwell of the body as a result. I know the Proline body Linc has was considered a conversion body for the 5b and is shaped slightly differently in a few areas. Either way, should do whatever "looks right" for his combination. I just know on my 5T bodied Revo build, the 1/2" shorter wheelbase centered the tires in the wheelwells better IMO.
