Ford® GT Clear Body
for 200mm Pan Car & TC
#1549-30, $31
Simply put: the 2017 Ford GT is one of the coolest street cars ever designed, and PROTOform is proud to bring it to 1:10 RC Racing.
From the ultra-low stance, to the teardrop-shaped cockpit, to the never-before-seen b-pillar “side wings”, the Ford GT is the ultimate expression of form following function. PROTOform has captured every detail of this mid-engine sportscar that captured the GTE Pro class win at the 2016 24h of Le Mans.
This officially-licensed body fits 1:10 200mm pan cars for racing in classes such as the new World GT-R rubber tire class. For touring car fans, don’t fret: a 190mm version of Ford GT is coming soon.
Ford GT’s distinctive side wings are add-on pieces that can be secured with the included hardware, shoo-goo or high-strength double-sided tape. Each body also includes injection molded nylon wing struts, a unique rear wing, an extensive decal sheet, window masks, and overspray film.

BMR-12 Light Weight Clear Body
for 1:12 On-Road
#1615-20, $22
BMR-12 Regular Weight Clear Body
for 1:12 On-Road
#1615-30, $22
Introducing the all-new BMR-12 race body, a clean-sheet design aimed at all 1/12 classes from modified to stock. The team at PROTOform felt the need for a companion body to the all-conquering AMR-12 with the emergence of many new types of carpet racing across the globe.
The striking new design features a front splitter and enhanced dive planes on the front fenders for increased front end rigidity and reduced body rubbing. The design features a cab-forward cockpit, simulated roof intake and a unique “half-fin.”
In testing, our team of drivers found that the BMR-12 freed up the car. More rotation, more high speed steering, and more corner speed: all without sacrificing stability.
The BMR-12 fits all EFRA/IFMAR, BRCA, ROAR and JMRCA body specs and is offered in both light weight .020” lexan for experts and regular weight .030” for novices. Like all PROTOform bodies, it comes with protective film and includes window masks and a decal sheet.

PROTOform F1 Front Wing
for 1:10 Formula 1
#1722-00, $15
PROTOform F1 Rear Wing
for 1:10 Formula 1
#1723-00, $20
PROTOform is proud to release our first wing set for 1:10 Formula 1 cars, one of the fastest growing segments of On-Road RC racing.
There were three main ingredients the team at PROTOform took into consideration when designing these wings: 1) look awesome, 2) be durable and 3) perform excellently on the track.
Starting with the aesthetics, the wings come in a sleek matte black finish. Inspired by real F1 wing styling, this wing will give your 1:10 Formula 1 car an unmistakable look on the track. The front wing is a 1-piece design with inner fins for added stability and smooth steering. For high-nose bodies such as the PROTOform F1-thirteen, an add-on nose support is also included.
In testing this product, we went through many different types on nylon to select the best material for our wings. Areas that take huge loads during frontal impacts were reinforced for added durability, with just the right amount of overall flexibility. The rear wing is a true multi-element design featuring slots in the side dams, just like the 1:1 cars. The middle element proudly features an emblazoned PF icon.
Our team of F1 drivers have said the combined wing set (Front #1722 and Rear #1723) provides an ideal combination of overall stability and steering, making the car super easy to drive. Rear downforce can be tuned by removing either of the upper elements, creating a “Monza-style” setup for high speed tracks. There are also three different mounting positions on the plate to adjust the height of the wing if your chassis does not have this feature. This wing set will fit most popular F1 cars on the market such as Xray, Tamiya, Yokomo and Roche.

Swift-235 Clear Body
for 235mm Pan Car (Pro-10)
#1553-25, $29
Here at PROTOform we're excited about the rejuvenation of the Pro-10 class! It was a premiere on-road racing class back in its early 90's heyday and is now proving to be even more exciting with the improved technology of today’s 235mm pan cars.
To celebrate the Pro-10's return to prominence, we've created a contemporary new design - the PROTOform Swift-235. It's low and sleek with a few styling cues from modern 1:1 LMP cars. It's made to suit a variety of tracks and traction conditions whether it's indoor carpet or outdoors on pavement.
We’ve included 3 different sized add-on Gurney flaps, as well as side dam extenders, so fine tuning for a specific track is as easy as possible. Dial in the chassis and aero setup - then go for that TQ position!
The Swift-235 is offered in light weight .025” lexan and comes with protective film, window masks and a decal sheet.
