The latest 1/8th buggy to receive Leadfinger Racing’s A2.1 Tactic body shell treatment is the Agama A319. First introduced in mid-2019, the A2.1 Tactic body design has proven itself on the track with a handful of different platforms. Fitment, performance and looks are key in every design, and every platform presents different challenges with each layout. The Agama was no exception. Fuel tank location, and the position of throttle and brake bias linkages needed to be taken into consideration. LFR were looking for a low profile and sleek design to fit the A319 perfectly. The designers were able to combat these differences by stretching the rake of the windshield and adding to the size of the side pod scoops for just the right amount clearance. To keep performance in check, additional down force was added to the rear of the side pods and rear centre of the body. As things started to come together, Leadfinger Racing topped off the cab with a shark fin for stability. To finish off the design the body includes a front scoop for even more tuning ability. As usual the body comes moulded from high-quality polycarbonate material and it includes window masks and a decal sheet.
