Protoform have introduced the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R short wheelbase 1/8th GT bodyshell. From the signature Corvette muscular stance and swept-back roofline, to the large front splitter and side vents, every detail of the full-scale race car is captured to add scale realism to the world of 1:8 GT. Included with the body is an add-on rear wing, secured with three oversized nylon screws and featuring two trim-lines and spill-plate sizes; a lower line for sanctioned racing, and an upper line for low-grip club racing. The body fits popular 1/8th scale GT cars with the shorter GT1 wheelbase of 325mm, such as the Mugen MGT7, Serpent Cobra GT and more. For GT2 racers, a longer 360mm wheelbase version of the C7.R is also available.
Made for Serpent vehicles such as the Project 4X, F110, S120, 748 and 977 are T-Works’ titanium upper arm pivot balls. The parts are made from high-quality 64-grade titanium and they replace the standard kit pivot balls. Offering a lower weight than steel while being still tough and durable, titanium parts lower the weight of the car while also adding visual impact.

Coming from T-Works and made for the new Serpent Project 4X touring car is a titanium turnbuckle set.
