FTW Agama A8 Night Fox body

FTW Racing Components is pleased to present the Agama community with a Night Fox tailored specifically for the A8 buggy. Testing proved that not only does it perform well, it looks great on the podium too with Team FTW’s newest member, 2010 RC Pro National Champion, Jason Branham scoring podium finishes in his first two outings with the body. For optimum fit FTW recommends replacing the factory air filter assembly with the Team Losi 8ight 2.0 air filter assembly or similar. The body is formed from clear .040” polycarbonate and comes in clear with a protective film and molded cut lines and is supplied with window masks and decal sheets.

FTW Racing Components today introduced Exabyte, the only purpose-built body for the Tekno V4 conversions. Sleek styling belies Exabyte’s spacious interior, with clearance for 50mm tall LiPos and large ESCs. Intakes direct cool air toward the ESC while the rear of the body is open to remove hot air. For optimum fit, Exabyte is available in two versions to fit the body mounts of the most popular Tekno conversions—the Mugen MBX6 and the Hot Bodies D8. Both fit all Tekno V4 conversions when secured by Velcro in lieu of the body mounts. Exabyte for Tekno V4/MBX6 and Tekno V4/D8 are molded from clear .040” polycarbonate and come in clear with a protective film and molded cut lines. Window masks and decal sheets are included.

The newest Night Fox exhibits the same proven handling characteristics and striking stealth-inspired styling for which FTW is known. “As you will see, with the Night Fox for MBX6R we’ve maintained all that has made the Night Fox series popular—the stability and downforce it adds to the handling of the car, the quality, durability, and of course the stealth-inspired styling,” said FTW co-founder John Riewe. “Plus, Night Fox’s low roof line leaves more of the engine head exposed for better cooling without making the car look like a truck,” added FTW co-founder Joshua Riewe. Night Fox for MBX6R is packaged with window masks and a decal sheet.
