Here's the reason I got a bit behind schedule. (photo 4) I appreciate all your opinions.

Dale Epp - Protoform Race Bodies

Body looks great .
Is that a 1/5 scale in the fourth pic ?

Any plans on releasing this in 200mm

Dale that looks sick. I have a question... have you guys been outsourcing the manufacturing of the bodies? I have started to notice more and more folds in the bodies and dents and stuff when a few years ago I don't remember any of that. The bodies are still great just quality has dropped significantly.

Steve I'm not Dale but from what I can tell things like creeses and folds seem to happen in shipping. When I get bodies directly from Protoform (JConcepts and Parma also) they rarely have a flaw. I see it muchmore when I get bodies from customers or order them from my LHS.

They get packed and shipped at Protoform sent to a distributor unpacked and stored (and probablt stacked) .Then repacked sometimes with other heavy products in the same box and sent to a shop ,and once again you might repete the same process to have it shipped to you.

Also this body looks great can't wait to get mine:nod:

As soon as I see them in my LHS I will be snagging a couple of them. I like the looks of this body, she looks sleek.

Good things come to those who wait!:nod:

that is a touring body for an eigth scale buggy ;)

Nice :nod:

Lemieux's not really running that paint job is he?:weird:

Body looks great Dale:D

They both look great, guess I am going to have to get one for my 1/8th scale also now! Good job and keep 'em coming!:nod:
Not too be pushy but could you guys design a body for the Losi XXX-T CR??? Something sleek and modern

looks good, well have to see how it handles:nod:

I like the body line squared off above the rear wheel well. I saw a couple today at my LHS. Nice! :cool:

that looks awesome when and where can I get one down under???

Hi Dale

Looks like another fantastic body - great work!!

Quick couple of questions - how does this shell handle compared to (say) the Mazda 6 and the MazdaSpeed 6 ?? And how do you anticipate it will work on both carpet (obviously with rubber tires) and on asphalt tracks?

Many thanks, looking forward to trying one out as soon as I can grab one!!

Oli

I also want to know if there will be a 200mm version:D

Excellent work Dale.
