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

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!
Not too be pushy but could you guys design a body for the Losi XXX-T CR??? Something sleek and modern

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

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!!
