FTW Racing - FOX XL for AE B4.1

[jimmy]

FTW Racing Components today introduced the Night Fox XL body shell, an extended version of its revolutionary Night Fox body shell designed to fit the Team Associated B4.1 when equipped with the longer T4.1 chassis. The Night Fox XL is the first production body shell designed to fit this chassis configuration.

"When I saw the length of the new TLR22 buggy, I wondered what it would be like to drive a longer Team Associated B4.1," explained FTW co-founder Joshua Riewe, "so when I found that the 19mm longer Team Associated T4.1 chassis would fit, I knew we had to try it. Tests by our team drivers on various track types showed the lengthened B4.1 to be more forgiving and easier to hustle around the track, even with minimal or no setup changes from the stock chassis configuration." FTW co-founder John Riewe added "The performance benefits of the B4.1/T4.1 setup prompted us to bring to market the first body shell designed to properly fit the B4.1 with T4.1 chassis. As the Night Fox is a proven design recognized for its superb aero qualities, it made perfect sense to simply adapt this existing design."
Night Fox XL is packaged with two wings, window masks, and a decal sheet.

If you didn't paint the cockpit at all (leave it a clear bubble), would it look just a little less ugly?

[discothesnake]

Awful

Ive been running the B4.1 with Night Fox XL and T4.1 chassis, and have found it extremely good.

I'll post a setup sheet in the next few days for Southport/multi surface tracks.

[dbizzle5]

Is anyone in the this country going to be importing them?

[Tom3012]

Having seen Chris' it looks a lot better in the flesh!

[Chrislong]

Cheers Tom
I love it. I know the looks are unique, but wouldn't it be boring if we were all the same? More importantly, the handling is fantastic.

The night fox xl is better than the cougar attempt

TBH, half a Coke bottle would be better than the Cougar effort....

I never said it was nice though Chris ...

Joking aside it looks like a stealth bomber!!!

[traffman]

Do you remember when they re styled the Subaru and basically sales nose dived......hmmmm i think its a marmite shell.

[neiloliver]

Ugly

In ten years we will look back and laugh at cab forward. They are wrong.

[freckler]

I have a standard Night Fox, and love it! Its all about how you paint them! Saw them racing at in Dallas Tx, and had to get one!

Now if I have a track that requires more rear traction, I go old school with the "Cab Rearward" design on the b4.1!

Who in the UK is stocking these bad mofo's? I'm gonna get a T4 chassis ordered soon and give it a shot but I need the shell or it'll get full of dirt very fast

[RoyalCBR]

Does anyone know apart from the actual chassis (either plastic or carbon) what other parts are needed for the T4 conversion of the B4.1?
