is this really an Audi R8
Just a thought is this really the Audi R8 ? the front grille looks like it, perhaps Protoform couldnt get the licence so called it the R9 ? doesnt really matter its a stunning body and handles a treat on tarmac with rubber tires.

Hi Guys I think if you look at this body carefully it looks just like the Audi R8 I was wondering if Protoform made it but couldnt get the licence to sell it so called it the R9 just a thought, we have tried it on our team cars and boy does it handle on tarmac with rubber tires, cant speak for carpet or foam tires. the front grille look like a Audi.

When talking to Dale when he was designing it, he didnt try to get the liscence for the body. If he did, it would come at a higher price. Audi doesnt make an R9 which is how it got its name. It is supposed to resemble an R8

I just got told by the owner of SpeedtechRc.com that the R9-R bodies wont be available until september? But i thought they were coming out tomorrow (aug 15th)? He said something about kinks in the body design...
now im really confused. Enlightenment please?

In answer to several questions firstly we have had the R9 for 3-4 weeks now in the uk and we ran it on rubber tires using an F as we dont have the R as yet fantastic body to race with not only in looks but also in handling

So I didn't see the R9-R on new products over at ProLine's site so perhaps the September date is accurate? I do have a R9-F I picked up so based on tfracing's info I might just try fitting that with my Rubber setup. Any updates on release for the rubber version would be appreciated!

why are leightweoghts more expensive,
lets material should equal less price, right?
And its not like they are machining the material to tight tolerences, they just lay down a thinner sheet
