Protoform Mazda 6GX 190mm body

The follow up to the ultra successful Protoform Mazdaspeed6 race body is here, the Mazda 6GX. Officially licensed, it captures all the details from the full-scale racer, the GX’s striking lines, hood air extractors and signature Mazda grille which give it an unmistakable look, showing that form can indeed coalesce with function. The Mazda6 GX is proving to be a contender right out of the box. Initial testing on asphalt from Team Protoform drivers and ISTC World Champions Marc Rheinard and Jilles Groskamp has them raving: “Great steering but the rear end also has stability,” Marc said after using a Mazda6 GX to win the 2013 Bangkok Int’l RC Championship in its first race ever, “Overall great traction. I love it.” Reigning champ Groskamp had this to say: “The GX seems to have the steering of the LTC-R and stability of the Mazdaspeed6! Overall lap times matched the LTC-R right away but the GX just drives really easy!”
