Protoform have released their much anticipated R9-R, which is the latest in 190mm touring sedan bodies. This Global Body Spec ready race body is designed specifically for rubber tire racing whether it’s on a carpet or a paved surface racetrack. It features a low center of gravity even at the legal 115mm height. The oversize rear wing helps performance on a poor-grip surface that’s commonly experienced in club racing. Also new is the PF8 GT shell, designed for the exciting 1/8th scale GT class. This body style is sure to enhance speed and handling with its large rear wing and front splitter. It’s pulled in rugged genuine lexan and features 3 wing struts for added durability. If more rear downforce is required, the wing has the extra lexan material needed to bend a “gurney lip” across the top edge. Both bodies come with protective film, decals and wing mounting hardware.

russmini - August 16, 2008 10:12 PM (GMT)
Oh it was just some Cheap Yokomo Pro Stock...

I got it Free. It was Brand New. It was actually Really Good, but i think i may have taken it a bit too far on Friday Night.... :lol:

can't beat a good old pro stock i've had a few of them, decent motors for what they are and cost

russmini - August 17, 2008 08:26 AM (GMT)
Yeh, i was Shocked how well it went.

I even said, Balls to £30 Motors from now on, this'll do for Indoor Club Racing...

But now i'll see after the Skim and Re-Brush... Which of course presents it's own Problems as it's Non Re-Buildable... :lol:

If it's lived it's life, then it hasn't lasted very long...
