Protoform D9 electric touring car body shell

Following a couple of teaser images Protoform have fully unveiled their all-new D9 body shell for 190mm touring cars. After much success with the Type-S, drivers requested a less-aggressive body handling feel in specific conditions where traction roll was being combated, or in super low grip when utmost rear traction was needed. Developed through extensive testing, the D9 features smooth, easy-to-drive handling characteristics, helping to achieve maximum lap times consistency over a run. In addition, added ridges along the front fenders, door panels, a-pillars and trunk bed provide rigidity even in thinner materials. The critical tuning aid of body positioning is once again made easier with PF’s mounting marks inside the front wheel arches. Positions for 0, +2mm, +4mm and +6mm are scribed in for convenience. Included with every D9 are the all-new rear wing mounts with top “button” and bottom “nut”. The D9 is Global Body Spec compliant and fully EFRA (#4062) & ROAR approved. The body comes made of high-quality, super-durable polycarbonate, it is available in both lightweight and Pro-lite weight versions and includes a decal sheet, window masks, overspray film and wing mounting hardware.

Leadfinger Racing ET410 Strife body shell

Leadfinger Racing have introduced their Strife body shell for the Tekno RC ET410 1/10th 4WD truck. The design idea comes from it’s much larger brother, the ET48 Strife body. To see if the idea would work, Leadfinger started by shortening the cab and rear truck bed, then narrowing the entire original mould to better suited the smaller ET410. The final step was to reverse or flip the front mounting posts. This gave LFR the room needed to install the front clips and clear the front cowling, making it a drop fit. The body comes clear and including window masks and sticker sheet.
