RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I do like the flat black look of that wing, but while I can appreciate companies trying new things those are just very unattractive. I would probably outfit at least half of my runners with just a nice rollcage if they were available. There aren't very many nice looking production ones. I would especially love one for my GT, but I've never seen one that I thought was done exactly right and I certainly don't have the skill to make one.

dont forget some of the paint jobs they have been putting on them lately. There is a reason I like the vintage stuff. I especially love the old biggies with the drivers in them

How about this one?

It's the new FTW Fox XL for the long wheel base modified B4.1





I quite like it

More like WTF? j/k Much better than the others.

I've always thought that the Bulldog shells were horrible, but some of those are just plain offensive!!!

Oh, look, a boxy F1 racing boat with wheels.

Gak, I think I just chundered on my shoes.

That has to be one of the worst I've seen seriously... who the hell is going to buy one

Looks loike a bottle opener from an old fashioned pop bottle machine.

Looks just like my old RC10 did after the wiring on my msc caught fire back in '86. Oddly my shocks had the same brownish tint afterwards too.

I think that yellow one looks like a tractor. It just needs bucket scoop coming out of the front or back.

I have seen people say that the cab forward bodies help offer a bit of front downforce but the reality is that there is so much air turbulence off of the front shocks and shock towers (not to mention that all open wheel cars are high drag), that any aerodynamic benefits the shape may theoretically have are completely useless. I don't and never will believe that there is an aerodynamic benefit from it. Someone will literally have to put one in a wind tunnel comparison before I even would open up to the idea and even then there are better looking ways to accomplish the exact same thing. They look horrible and nothing in the world could get me to use one regardless of reason or logic. Of course they don't do anything anyways.

Does anyone else here agree that actually naming a car "FTW" has got to be one of the lamest things ever? They should've called it the "LMAO".

Yeah, the name is stupid. Where I come from, FTW means F#ck The World.

The company is named FTW, For The Win. I think that thing is called the night stalker or something. Anyway its just about the ugliest thing I've seen. I don't mind the whole cab forward thing on trucks or 8th scale cars, but on a 2wd buggy it just looks... umm.... like poop.
