#1128-00 - 40 Series Mulcher

Introducing PROTOform's Light Weight Stratus 3.0 "Carpet" Body and PROTOform's Light Weight Stratus 3.0 "All-Purpose" Body.

PROTOform has a reputation for producing touring car racebodies that are on the leading edge in terms of design and aerodynamics. To enhance performance even further, we are now producing selected touring car body styles in a light weight version. This LW option has been requested by hardcore racers for quite some time. The extra performance does come at a small price however. The bodies have a slightly shorter racing life (depending on how good a racer you are) because of the thinner material, and a slightly higher cost. From our research, it seems most factory pro's and "go-fast racer types" think it's a small price to pay compared to the performance gain.

Though lighter in weight, they still have all the crisp detail and structural integrity that you've come to expect from PROTOform race bodies. There will be more selected styles of light weight bodies to be announced in the future.

Since Craig Drescher's big win at the 2005 Reedy Race of Champions using the Stratus 3.0 "AP" it was been used to win many more world class events. The winner of the ultra competitive JMRCA Japanese Sedan Nationals used the body as well, as did 8 of 10 racers in the a-main. The LW Stratus 3.0 bodies come with wing, wing mounting hardware and a decal sheet. As usual, protective film and window masks ease the painting process.

With the continued popularity and evolution of the Micro Sedan class it only seemed natural for PROTOform to develop another direct descendant from its line of championship winning 1/10th scale race-sedan bodies. The new Stratus 3.0 Micro body is just what the 1/18th crowd has been waiting for.

For the the serious racer, this body has been proportioned to fit the original 150mm wheelbase chassis as well as the trendy new 140mm wheelbase aftermarket chassis. It shares all the details and styling cues of its bigger brother.

As usual it has comes with a protective coating, add on wing with mounting screws, window masks, and a decal sheet. Its sure to be a winner!
