Press release from PROTOform:

F1 has seen a massive resurgence in R/C racing the last few years, and no one has been happier to see it than the gearheads at PROTOform. We are proud to release two all-new race bodies taking styling from the last few years of Formula 1 race cars: F1-Thirteen and F1-Fourteen.

The F1-Thirteen features styling from the 2013 season, including the high-nose and Coanda exhaust detailing. Side-pod undercuts, an overall low-slung design and the included injection molded black nylon driver’s helmet give it the ultra-realistic look that F1 R/C racers strive for. The decal sheet, featuring seatbelts, steering wheel detail, car numbers and a variety of helmet visor colors, completes the scale detail. The F1-Thirteen fits most modern F1 chassis* and requires Tamiya’s F60 Front wing (#9115267 or #9115357)**.

The F1-Fourteen features styling from the 2014 season, including the unique low nose and single turbo exhaust detailing. Racers have the option to add on the controversial extended nose cone with tape or shoo-goo (not included), or cut/black out the center section of the nose for a more conventional look. Side-pod undercuts, an overall low-slung design and the included injection molded black nylon driver’s helmet give it the ultra-realistic look that F1 R/C racers strive for. The decal sheet, featuring seatbelts, steering wheel detail, car numbers and a variety of helmet visor colors, completes the scale detail.

The F1-Fourteen fits most modern F1 chassis* equipped with Tamiya’s F2012 Front wing (#51524 / #51525).** Due to the unique nose configuration of this body, the upright nose support of the wing is removed and an additional body post and 40mm M4 screw are included. See the guide below of how to mount your F1-Fourteen.

Both bodies are produced in genuine .030” (0.7mm) Lexan, is Made in the U.S.A. and includes decal sheet, driver helmet, hardware and paint-then-peel overspray film.
