For asphalt sedan, I tend to just run Mazda speed 6 or mazda 6.
For Nitro sedan I use either the 3.1 stratus and Mazda 6 once in a while.

Both made by protoform..... For some reason protoforms just seem to line up better or have better guide lines to begin with for the bottom and wheel well lines....

I'm only a club level racer but here goes...

1) Favorite Shell design and company - R9-F Protoform...brand new I've never seen it but it has my initals & my fav #...what's not to like?

2) Why have you chosen this shell - see above

3) how does it perform compared to other shells - ???

4) weight of painted shell if possible - ???

5) do you use diffrent shells for indoor/outdoor if so why - Yes. I run foam indoors & rubber out.

That didn't help much did it

But what IS an R9-F? A search on Google came back with NO cars with that designation...

What's a DNA1-3? Protoform original design. Same with the R9-F.

The DNA kinda looks like the new Pontiac GTR and figured that was what it was. Something that I don't understand is how fantasy bodies can be made...they can't be ROAR legal, can they?
