Protoform D-HD Oval race body
Categories - Bodies, Products, Protoform
In an effort to keep in step with what’s running up front on the real 1:1 oval tracks, Protoform is proud to release the all-new D-HD Oval race body. Once again this body is a natural evolution of previous designs and features all the state-of-the-art aero-tweaks that are standard on the Nationwide Series stock cars. The left side now allows even more clearance for the extremely offset batteries that are so popular. The testing has indicated that D-HD body allows your car to turn in as hard as any Protoform body design to date. It’s suited for carpet racing as well as capped tire asphalt racing.

Exclusive – Protoform P56-Nitro sedan body
Categories - Bodies, Products, Protoform
Protoform have given us the Exclusive first look at their all new P56-Nitro sedan 200mm body. This body is designed to be a more compact race body, thus offering superior response while giving excellent down force levels. This body adheres to the EFRA “Global Body Spec” rules as well as all ROAR body rules. The large aggressive wing sits upon 2 oversize wing stands that allow for larger wing screws and quick track side adjustments. Two small molded-in shark fins support the outer ends of the wing and prevent distortion at high speed. The P56-N is ROAR approved and is on the IFMAR ‘approved body’ list for this summer’s IFMAR Worlds in Houston TX. Made of high quality lexan, it’s available in 2 weights, ‘Lite’ and an even lighter weight ‘Pro-Lite’. It comes with a protective coating for easy painting. The body has been tested and given a “thumbs up” by racers like Mike Swauger and Scott Kimbrow. The P56-N will be available on May 5/10.

Protoform TCC wing set
Categories - Bodies, Products, Protoform, Wings
Following requested by oval racers to make TCC wings available separately, Protoform responded with this double wing set pulled in durable lexan. These wings with the add-on spill plates are identical to the wings that are included with the TCC race body at the time of purchase. Now you’re able to have extra wings in your pit box to allow for experimentation with varying degrees of downforce as well as the ability to replace damaged wings. Supplied with mounting hardware.

Protoform R5-N 200mm body shell
Categories - Bodies, Products, Protoform
Protoform have announced the immediate release of the all new R5-N 200mm gas sedan race body. Gas sedan bodies require numerous openings to be cut in the roof area to enable cooling and fuel filling and thus the bodies tend to become aerodynamically ‘dirty’ and inefficient. Protoform has designed a body to minimize the net drag losses caused by these openings. The unique side windows as well as the rear window contours enhance the efficiency of the linear airflow into and out of the body. Every feature, including the large rear wing, is within EFRA/ROAR/200mm Global Body Spec dimensions. The enlarged wing struts allow for the use of larger screws for quicker trackside adjustments and the center strut adds stability. Made to fit all the popular 200mm gas chassis this body is pulled in .030 lexan and is supplied with protective covering, decal sheet, window masks and wing hardware.

Protoform Type B & M F1 Retro shells
Categories - Bodies, Products, Protoform, Tamiya
New from Protoform for the Tamiya F103 chassis are two new body shells, the Type B F1 Retro and the Type M F1 Retro shells. The re-released Type B body replicates one of the first F1 cars to be designed with a “high nose” and a suspended front wing. It turned out to be a championship winning car that influenced the design of many F1 cars since then. This body is made to fit the recently released Tamiya F103RM kit that’s equipped with the proper “high nose/wing” pieces. The Type M body replicates one of the most distinctive cars of an earlier era. It’s made to fit the ever popular Tamiya 103R F1 chassis and both body shells are pulled in .030 lexan and come with a protective film.
