i have been out of the rc game for a lil while but i just found these two and i was a bit confused.


is this a new protoform speed 6? it has the wing supports like the 3.0 stratus

and then the moorespeed 6


can anyone give me some info on these boddies.. are they really any different?

Tommy Bergfeldt

The upper body you posted is Protoform's Mazdaspeed6
The lower is from Hot Bodies.

The Mazda Speed 6 is another option by Protoform to add to the already successful Mazda 6. Slightly different in characteristics from each other. The Moorespeed is a made by Hot Bodies and is basically a knock off of the Mazda 6 (not speed 6).

how is the speed6 different then the mazda 6.. just an update of the mazda 6? still a more of rear down force body?

The most obvious difference when you look close at the two of them is the Speed 6 has a more intricate nose than the regular 6 and a lot more surface area. There's a lot of other subtle differences too. It's got a lot more steering but it's not from a lack of rear grip like some bodies. Lots of steering and still stable in the rear. I've really liked it a lot.

I don't think so. Too much going on this summer. Wish I could though. The track sounds a lot like the one we've got down here now. Small and tight.

i just got a new mazda speed6 bodyshell for myself, and i was just wondering on the wing i am surpose to cut out the holes on the wing or doesn't it matter.

i think dale from protoform says that it aids in straight line speed and doesnt decrease rear end grip so it is a good thing to do, but i dont know what peoples experiences are with doing it

I didn't cut them out and I don't think I saw anyone who did last week.
