New Protoform pan car bodies & Formula wings

Protoform have introduced a range of new 1/10th and 1/12th scale pan car bodyshells as well as front and rear wings for Formula cars. First up and coming in time for the indoor carpet season is the new BMR-12 1/12th scale body, an addition to the popular AMR-12. The new design features a front splitter and enhanced dive planes on the front fenders for increased front end rigidity and reduced body rubbing. The design features a cab-forward cockpit, simulated roof intake and a unique half-fin and in testing BMR-12 decked out car offered more rotation, more high speed steering, and more corner speed, all without sacrificing stability. The body fits all EFRA/IFMAR, BRCA, ROAR and JMRCA body specs and is offered in both light weight .020″ Lexan for experts and regular weight .030″ for novices. It comes with protective film and includes window masks and a decal sheet.


Next up is the 2017 Ford GT 200mm body for 1/10th pan cars such as the new World GT-R category. It offers an ultra-low stance, teardrop-shaped cockpit, and unique b-pillar “side wings”, to capture every detail of this mid-engine sportscar that snatched the GTE Pro class win at the 2016 24h of Le Mans. The officially-licensed body comes with distinctive side wings that are add-on pieces that can be secured with the included hardware, shoo-goo or high-strength double-sided tape. Each body also includes injection molded nylon wing struts, a unique rear wing, an extensive decal sheet, window masks, and overspray film an a 190mm version is coming soon. Next up is the Swift-235 body for 235mm Pro10 pan cars. To celebrate the Pro10’s return to prominence, Protoform created a low and sleek body with a few styling cues from modern full-scale LMP cars. It’s made to suit a variety of tracks and traction conditions whether it’s indoor carpet or outdoors on pavement. Included are three different sized add-on Gurney flaps, as well as side dam extenders, so fine tuning for a specific track is as easy as possible. The Swift-235 is offered in light weight .025″ Lexan and comes with protective film, window masks and a decal sheet. Last but not least come the injection moulded front and rear wings for 1/10th Formula cars. Starting with the aesthetics, the wings come in a sleek matte black finish. Inspired by real F1 wing styling, and the front wing is a 1-piece design with inner fins for added stability and smooth steering. For high-nose bodies such as the Protoform F1-thirteen, an add-on nose support is also included. The rear wing is a true multi-element design featuring slots in the side dams, just like the full-scale cars. Combining both provides an ideal combination of overall stability and steering, making the car super easy to drive. The wings will fit most popular Formula cars on the market such as Xray, Tamiya, Yokomo and Roche.
