Protoform, who has spent the last 10 years focusing on race bodies for sedan, on-road and oval classes, have added a new body shell for the Losi 8ight to their ever-expanding off-road bodyline known as the HardDrive. Features consistent with all HardDrives include ventilation louvers found throughout each body, which are emulated after full-scale off-road vehicles and each can be cut out to allow air to flow more effortlessly through the body. This creates less airtime when flying over jumps and less airtime equals more time on the ground, and more time on the ground equals reduced lap times and greater consistency lap after lap.
