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.

Avid vented motor plate for B4.1 & TLR22

Avid RC have released this new vented motor plate for both the B4.1 and TLR22. Take advantage of the unique design of the Avid vented motor plates to improve your buggy or truck. The design team wanted to remove as much weight as possible up high, so they created the 45 degree angled vents which cut completely through the part which removed weight and added much-needed airflow around the motor-plate, yet still maintaining a rigid motor plate to keep gear mesh consistent. 100% milled which avoids all the extra stress that comes from stamping parts in order to keep the motor plates flat and your gear mesh perfect. Each plate is made from black anodized 3mm 6061-T6 aluminium with silver chamfered edge.

JConcepts Finnisher for MBX-6R

JConcepts have announced the release of their Finnisher body for the Mugen MBX-6R. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have a strong and chiseled look, including a recessed area in the rear which allows another option for air-escape. The chassis side-guard to body fit has been tightened up which helps eliminate large empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The area behind the cab has been greatly lowered exposing more of the engine heat-sink allowing more heat-escape.
