Whats The Deal With Protoform
Just want an opinion from all you guys.
Not to knock protoform because they make great bodies, but why is it that they can make a "alfa 2.0" which looks just like losi's alfa, and when yokomo trys to sell its "stratus type d" they cant because protoform gets wet in their pants because it looks too much like the "stratus 2.0"?
Tell me what you think.

The Protoform Alfa 2.0 is different to the Losi Alfa, a much bigger difference than the Yokomo Type D and the Protoform Stratus 2.0.
Personally I don't like these new Alfa shells - they're beginning to look less and less scale (how many real cars do you see with extra vertical fins on the top of their wings), and they're also pushing the spirit of the TC rules (super deep front splitters, and rear bumper sides that reach the ground instead of curving up, creating a mini-venturi like the pan cars). One good thing is that the BRCA hasn't homologated the Losi Alfa or Stratus 2.0 for modified racing.

The Losi Alfa is available in the UK, The origional Proto one is also. I suspect that the new Proto alfa 2.0 will be available, but i doubt it is at the moment.

The Losi Alfa works good on tight tracks and the Protoform works better on big tracks. The Losi Alfa is the same as Maxtec Alfa, it slow down faster and turn sharper. Protoform Alfa is a different body.
