2011 was a great year for Protoform in the 1/8th IC Nitro On-Road class. Now only did 8 A-Main finalists at the IFMAR WORLDS in Homestead Florida chose the P909 body, but the other 2 A-Main drivers chose the Protoform R15, which ran the quickest lap times of the entire event. In the end, Robert Pietsch brought home the very deserving win and trophy. They decided to incorporate what they felt were the best characteristics of these two world class bodies to create the Protoform PFR18. Loosely modeled after the car that conquered the 24HR of LeMans, this body style has a few tricks of it’s own as well. There are a couple more molded in body stiffening contours to make the body more consistent and the body conforms to the 2012 ERFA/IFMAR body rules in every way. Available in 3 thicknesses, .040 Lexan (regular weight), .030 Lexan (light weight) and .025 Lexan (lightest weight) “Pro-Lite” for the expert racers. This body has a protective outer film, body side-stiffeners (w/hardware) and comes with a large Protoform decal.

This is a BullDog Clear Body for the Team Associated B44.1 Buggy. For 2012, Ryan Cavalieri has improved upon the design and developed the most advanced body yet, the 2012 BullDog body. Ryan took great care in refining the design for 2012 to create even more stability with enhanced steering to gain an advantage on the track. The windshield is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels and the roof ridges have been raised to channel the air flow over the middle of the body for increased high-speed stability. The rear of the roof has been lowered and fins have been added to achieve stable air flow over the body and the fins also add rigidity to the body to increase aerodynamic efficiency.
