FTW RC Ultima RB5, B4.1 & Cougar SV shells
FTW Racing Components today announced its official company debut. Created to equip radio control car enthusiasts and serious racers with components exhibiting form and function that defies convention, FTW RC will produce bodies, wings, and associated parts for 1:10 and 1:8 scale radio control cars. Along with the company debut, FTW RC announced its initial lineup of 1:10 scale off-road buggy bodies, including versions for the popular Team Associated B4.1, Schumacher Cougar SV and Kyosho Ultima RB5 platforms. FTW RC will continue to expand beyond the initial product offering to include bodies for most 1:10 and 1:8 scale platforms. According to co-founder Joshua Riewe, “Prototype FTW bodies for several popular 1:8 scale buggy platforms are currently undergoing testing at national level races. The lessons we learn from in-race testing will be incorporated into the final products that will soon be available to the public.”

I saw them racing the Night Hawks for the B4.1 at the BigFoot Classic race in Dallas this year, and picked up 2 of them before I left! Awesome bodies, and all the guys were fast!

Just when you thought bodies couldn’t get any uglier these come along setting a new lowpoint. Embarassingly bad.

I actually think these bodies look awesome. And being among the few people who have them, I can say that the handling characteristics given by the cab forward design gives a lot more steering and rear traction.
