FTW Racing Components today added to its 1:8 buggy lineup with the introduction of the new Night Fox body for Mugen’s MBX6R. 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.
