For the last 6 years the Protoform Stratus 3.1 has been one of the most popular and successful 200mm gas-sedan bodies. It’s still used even today in race winning performances by many top ranked pro drivers. Today, Protoform is proud to release the P37-N (nitro) 200mm Gas Sedan body to continue that legacy. This new P37-N body uses some of the time tested and proven design features of the 3.1 but includes many evolutionary improvements to aid down force and steering capabilities. The wing struts are enlarged and new oversized nylon wing hardware is now included with the body. The body conforms to all the ERFA “Global Body Spec” criteria and it comes with protective coating, decals and window masks. Available in Lite and PRO-Lite weights.

By popular demand Protoform is now making the “PRO-Lite” version of the P909 1:8 On-Road body available to everyone. The success and reputation of this body continues to grow with Mike Swauger winning the ROAR Nationals using the P909 body and Robert Pietsch’s domination of the 2010 1:8 On-Road European Championships in Italy. Made from extremely durable .025″ lexan material it is super light and not recommend for use by novice racers.

In an effort to keep in step with what’s running up front on the real 1:1 oval tracks, Protoform is proud to release the all-new D-HD Oval race body. Once again this body is a natural evolution of previous designs and features all the state-of-the-art aero-tweaks that are standard on the Nationwide Series stock cars. The left side now allows even more clearance for the extremely offset batteries that are so popular. The testing has indicated that D-HD body allows your car to turn in as hard as any Protoform body design to date. It’s suited for carpet racing as well as capped tire asphalt racing.

Our site sponsors Protoform have been in touch to let us know about the launch of their all new website.

The site has only just launched this weekend but almost all the content is in place so be sure to check it out here.
Protoform have given us the Exclusive first look at their all new P56-Nitro sedan 200mm body. This body is designed to be a more compact race body, thus offering superior response while giving excellent down force levels. This body adheres to the EFRA “Global Body Spec” rules as well as all ROAR body rules. The large aggressive wing sits upon 2 oversize wing stands that allow for larger wing screws and quick track side adjustments. Two small molded-in shark fins support the outer ends of the wing and prevent distortion at high speed. The P56-N is ROAR approved and is on the IFMAR ‘approved body’ list for this summer’s IFMAR Worlds in Houston TX. Made of high quality lexan, it’s available in 2 weights, ‘Lite’ and an even lighter weight ‘Pro-Lite’. It comes with a protective coating for easy painting. The body has been tested and given a “thumbs up” by racers like Mike Swauger and Scott Kimbrow. The P56-N will be available on May 5/10.

Following requested by oval racers to make TCC wings available separately, Protoform responded with this double wing set pulled in durable lexan. These wings with the add-on spill plates are identical to the wings that are included with the TCC race body at the time of purchase. Now you’re able to have extra wings in your pit box to allow for experimentation with varying degrees of downforce as well as the ability to replace damaged wings. Supplied with mounting hardware.
