These Protoform GTR Pro Mod bodies are on back order at amain for $12.78
Thats crazy for a painted body.

Does anyone have experience with protoform? Id hate to buy 10 of them and they end up being junk

Protoform is ProLine's side brand I'm pretty sure

From my experience with Proline buggy bodies, lexan would probably be super thin and it will crack first run or when painting or just putting it on the car... Horizon quality for ya...

Protoform was the MAIN brand before Pro-line was even a thought for a side gig..

I've had the same experience with the proline buggy bodies, but the proline octane I'm running now has really taken a beating. Its cracked in a few places but nothing not repairable with some hot glue

This.

Everyone ran protoform bodies way back when. They were the main brand.
Some of my 1/10 touring cars still rock protoform.

I have a Proline (Protoform) Mustang body on my Infraction 3s. It's took a beating for 4 years. The front around the splitter has split some & I've repaired it w/ delrin tubing on the inside. Many roof skid landings & barrel rolls, it's held up.

Good looking body, I guess if you don't crash it won't matter.

iv run 3 protoform bodies over the years. 1 on my pan car, 1 on my TC4, and 1 on my RC10T3. the on road bodies are on the thin side (they are after all race bodies) but for on road cars did last long enough that i felt i got my moneys worth out of them. and the T3 body iv had sense late 2000 and is still in use.

I have the clear version, nice body. But I'm pretty sure it's discontinued, so you may never get it.
