Protoform Strakka-12 1/12th body shell

Protoform is taking aim at 1:12 Stock and SuperStock classes with their new 1:12 race body, the Strakka-12. Modelled after an all-new racecar contending in the WEC series, the Strakka-12 is a reduced downforce alternative to the ultra-successful AMR-12. This race body will help your car slip around the track efficiently without scrubbing too much all-important corner speed. Modified racers looking for a less downforce on super high grip tracks can also use the Strakka-12, attaching the add-on Gurney Flap marked out in the back of the body. The Strakka-12 fits all EFRA, IFMAR, BRCA, ROAR and JMRCA body specs. Available in both light weight .020” lexan for experts and regular weight .030” for novices, it comes with protective film and includes window masks and a decal sheet.

HPI announce HB Pro 5 electric touring car

In the build-up of the 2014 IFMAR Electric Onroad World Championships HPI Racing today announced the soon release of the Hot Bodies Pro 5 touring car kit. No exact details are known yet but HPI promise “a complete re-think of the standard TC design” that was needed due to the massive increase of speed and power available from today’s brushless motors and LiPo batteries. HPI states: “The Team then further refined this concept to achieve the ultimate goal of supreme “stability” and “flow” in a no holds barred next level top competition chassis. The resulting Pro 5 chassis affords the driver with the ultimate stability at speed coupled with the edge in being able to smoothly flow in the transition areas.” We bring you more information on the kit as soon as they become available.
