Protoform Formula 1 bodyshells – Teaser

Protoform Forumla 1 bodyshells – Teaser

Two decades after their iconic “McLaren” and “Benetton” style 1/10th Formula 1 bodyshells Protoform soon have new F1 shells available. Modelled to resemble 2014-ish “penis” nose and 2012-ish “platypus” nose cars, the bodies should fit most of today’s formula chassis when combined with a low front wing, making for a welcomed alternative to the many non-scale F1 bodies out there. We bring you more information about the forthcoming releases as soon as they become available.
