Protoform Type-S & MS7 190mm TC body shells

Protoform have introduced their long-awaited Type-S and MS7 190mm electric touring car body shells. First up is the aggressively shaped Type-S, a high downforce body for modified classes or any other track condition or class where more grip is needed. It was shaped to offer ultra-precise steering characteristics and superior rear grip and was extensively tested to handle track surfaces such as ETS carpet, outdoor or indoor asphalt, even the new high-grip CRC black carpet. With PRO-Lite bodies now being the standard for indoor carpet racing, the overall stiffness of the body was taken into consideration. Added ridges along the hood, a-pillar and trunk bed provide rigidity even in thinner materials giving less body tuck and less flex while not sacrificing performance. A small deck lid spoiler also adds both rigidity and rear grip. The critical tuning aid of body positioning is once again made easier with mounting marks inside the front wheel arches. Positions for 0, +2mm, +4mm and +6mm are scribed in for convenience. The Type-S is Global Body Spec compliant and fully EFRA (#4056) and ROAR approved and it is available in both lightweight and PRO-lite weight. Included are a Protoform decal sheet, window masks, overspray film and metric wing mounting hardware.

Also new is the MS7 for high-grip track conditions. With a reduced downforce, a more free-feeling car can be created for surfaces such as CRC black carpet with superior corner speed. This body delivers smooth turn-in characteristics with increased mid-corner rotation, perfect for spec classes and small, tight tracks. It has also proven capable on high-grip asphalt tracks. Added ridges along the door, lower sides and trunk bed along with a recessed hood vent detail provide rigidity even in thinner materials giving less body tuck and less flex while not sacrificing performance. The front splitter features a unique concave profile that adds rigidity to this vulnerable area of the body, as well as providing more aero stability. Mounting marks inside the front wheel arches in positions for 0, +2mm, +4mm and +6mm are scribed in for convenience. The MS7 is Global Body Spec compliant and fully EFRA (#4057) and ROAR approved and it is available in both lightweight and PRO-lite weight including Protoform decal sheet, window masks, overspray film and metric wing mounting hardware.
