In keeping with their stated commitment to create productsexhibiting form and function that defies convention, FTW with thisproduct launch enters the 1:8 scale arena with the same dramaticstyling, exceptional performance, and uncompromising quality that hasgained notoriety in the 1:10 scale market.

"Since the inception of FTW we’ve been eager to bring 1:8 scale bodies tomarket. Over the past two months our prototype bodies for RC8B and808 have undergone testing at national races, with excellent resultsfor our test team," said FTW co-founder Joshua Riewe. "We areexcited to finally release them to the public." Regarding thestyling of the new bodies, FTW co-founder John Riewe explained that"the stealth-inspired Night Fox design language we introduced withour B4.1 body is something we wanted to continue working with, andthe the dimensions of the RC8B and 808 provided a perfect opportunityto apply that language on a larger scale. The balanced handlingcharacteristics we saw with the Night Fox for B4.1 have translated toboth 1:8 scale fitments as well."

FTW plans to expand its 1:8 scale buggy lineup to include fitments forother popular platforms.
