MS7 PRO-LITE WEIGHT CLEAR BODY
#1555-22, $29

MS7 LIGHT WEIGHT CLEAR BODY
#1555-25, $29

The MS7 is PROTOform’s new contender for high-grip track conditions. With a reduced downforce, more free-feeling car, the MS7 glides around surfaces such as CRC black carpet with superior corner speed. This body delivers smooth turn-in characteristics with increased mid-corner rotation, perfect for spec classes and small, tight tracks. It has also proven capable on high-grip asphalt tracks.

With PRO-Lite bodies now being the standard for indoor carpet racing, the overall stiffness of the body was taken into consideration. Added ridges along the door, lower sides and trunk bed along with a recessed hood vent detail provide rigidity even in thinner materials giving you less body tuck and less flex while not sacrificing performance. The front splitter features a unique concave profile that adds rigidity to this vulnerable area of the body, as well as providing more aero stability.

The critical tuning aid of body positioning is once again made easier with our Mounting Marks inside the front wheel arches. Positions for 0, +2mm, +4mm and +6mm are scribed in for your convenience.

The MS7 is Global Body Spec compliant and fully EFRA (#4057) & ROAR approved. Made in the USA from our new high-quality, super-durable polycarbonate, it is available in both light weight and PRO-lite weight. Included are a PROTOform decal sheet, window masks, overspray film and metric wing mounting hardware.

TYPE-S PRO-LITE WEIGHT CLEAR BODY
#1560-22, $29

TYPE-S LIGHT WEIGHT CLEAR BODY
#1560-25, $29

The Type-S is PROTOform’s new high downforce racing body. For modified classes or any other track condition/class where more grip is needed, the Type-S is the ultimate aerodynamic solution. With ultra-precise steering characteristics and superior rear grip, the balance provided is unmatched by any other body on the 190mm electric touring car market.

Extensively tested by our world-class team of drivers, it was proven there was no track surface the Type-S body couldn’t handle: ETS carpet, outdoor or indoor asphalt, even the new high-grip CRC black carpet.

With PRO-Lite bodies now being the standard for indoor carpet racing, the overall stiffness of the body was taken into consideration. Added ridges along the hood, a-pillar and trunk bed provide rigidity even in thinner materials giving you less body tuck and less flex while not sacrificing performance. A small deck lid spoiler also adds both rigidity and rear grip.

The critical tuning aid of body positioning is once again made easier with our Mounting Marks inside the front wheel arches. Positions for 0, +2mm, +4mm and +6mm are scribed in for your convenience.

The Type-S is Global Body Spec compliant and fully EFRA (#4056) & ROAR approved. Made in the USA from our new high-quality, super-durable polycarbonate, it is available in both lightweight and PRO-lite weight. Included are a PROTOform decal sheet, window masks, overspray film and metric wing mounting hardware.
