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.
