Bittydesign Force body for Mugen MBX7

Bittydesign have released their new Force body for the Mugen MBX7. The body has been developed and tested with the collaboration of 2012 IFMAR World Champion Robert Batlle. Having made its debut 2 weeks ago in France at the GP Montpellier, the feedback they have received back from the Spanish driver has been very positive. Designed to obtain the best balance, the result is a cab forward body style in addition to a reverse side scoop on the back which generates high downforce giving the car a nimble feeling while at the same time more stability. As usual the body is produced using 1mm original Lexan polycarbonate and it comes complete with protection film, decal sheet and windows mask. BD also produce rear mud guards for the same car to complete the factory look.

Bitty Design 8ight Force 2.0 body

Bittydesign have given the Force line a refresh for 2013 and will be released new 2.0 bodies. The first model to receive the new look is the Losi 8ight body. They have completely changed the front part of the cab, a new angle providing different downforce which helps reduce steering aggression compared to the original version. Also the introduction of a side air scoop reduces the air impact on the front to give the new 2.0 body a more neutral response. They also worked on the back, with two reverse scoops which help better balance the front/rear of the body giving to driver a better feeling. Produced with genuine 1mm Lexan polycarbonate, the body comes complete with decal sheet, window mask and protective film.

Bittydesign Force body for XB9

Bittydesign have released the new Force body for the Xray XB9 buggy. Recently shown at the Euros in Austria, the new body is a real good alternative to the existing stock body. Italian Xray Factory driver Alessandro Stocco used the new body during qualifying at the Euros and his impressions were really good saying the car had more steering in low speed corners but at same time was more stable on high speed turns compared to the standard body. The big fin on the roof and the rear engine ‘reverse scoop’ section complete the look of this new cab forward body. Made from high quality 1mm thick Lexan polycarbonate, it is sold with window masks, decal sheet and protective film.
