Default Alfa 2

I got an Protoform Alfa 2 the other day. I can see why these bodies handle so well. I have not driven/raced with it yet but I can tell it will have a heap of down force. It will be a tight track/low grip master. It actually looks like its a very high body but could be a opic.

Rear wing is huge.

Pic’s coming soon.

Mate, there is only one line you should be worried about. It’s called the legal one. But yes it's still large. It's actually the frontal area that has impressed me. I don't think anybody should use this in Stock if you know what I mean.

it's an impressive looking body, i'm sure it will become standard issue for electric and nitro...

i did one in just black and it still looks good! lol

Will the Alfa 2.0 support the patented "Coxy Gangsta" windows...?

strewth were you blokes checking bodies too! how did i ever get through!

why have the illegal line?

i thought that the alfa 1 (i guess now) had an impressive frontal area (or lack there of) there seems only to be subtle changes to the front but the rear has had a major rework

Would the Alfa 2 be suitable for Castle hill?
Does anyone find the stratus 2 to be a bit unstable? Its probably because i mounted it crookedly.

It would generate too much front end grip. With the natural braking effect of Stock motors it would make the car way too twitchy entering a corner.

Fair enough i guess i should try the stratus 2.0, the alfa 2.0 seems to be preety cool to me specially using rubbers

We sure were. We knocked back two guys for wings too high and one for being too far back. Sorry contact, we will look at yours a little closer next time LOL.
