Exclusive – Protoform AMR-12 body shell

Exclusive - Protoform AMR-12 body shell

On Oct 1st 2009 there will be new EFRA/BRCA body rules that will come into effect, so a ‘clean sheet’ type design was required by Protoform in an effort to fully comply. The AMR-12 had been exhaustively tested in preparation for these rule changes and the body has actually shown an increase in performance over the ‘old format’ type race bodies. It’s made to fit all the popular 1/12th chassis with design considerations built in to accommodate the larger brushless motors and lead wires. This semi-realistic body is pulled in .020 lexan and has a protective film on it. Ready to ship at this time, it’s just in time to start practicing for the IIC Race in Vegas and the US Indoor Champs in Cleveland.
