Overview
The P47 is the next evolution of the IFMAR World Title-winning P37. Featuring all-new aero concepts and some design cues never before seen in the class, the P47 was exhaustively tested by the PROTOform team to find a body that offers more precise and smoother steering, increased corner speed and forward bite, and additional top speed on long straights. A raised section of the left side window can be cut out to scoop air into the body for additional engine cooling, and a large high-downforce/low-drag wing complete the design. This body meets all EFRA (#2058), IFMAR and ROAR body rule requirements.

The combination of reduced weight, optimised aerodynamic efficiency and enhanced handling characteristics makes this an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve lap times and overall track performance.
Key Features
- All-new aerodynamic design — The P47-N introduces completely new aero concepts and design elements never before seen in the touring car class, resulting in enhanced performance characteristics that translate directly to faster lap times and better consistency on track.
- Regular weight construction (0.030 inches) — The lighter regular weight shell reduces unsprung mass on your RC car, improving handling responsiveness and allowing your suspension to work more effectively whilst maintaining durability for competitive use.
- Increased corner speed and forward bite — Advanced aerodynamic tuning provides superior grip and traction through corners, allowing drivers to maintain higher speeds through technical sections and brake later into turns for improved lap times.
- Smoother, more precise steering response — The refined body design promotes neutral handling characteristics that make the car easier to drive consistently, reducing oversteering tendencies and giving drivers greater confidence and control.
- Added straightaway speed — Optimised aerodynamic efficiency reduces drag on the straights, allowing your touring car to achieve higher top speeds and maintain momentum through high-speed sections of the track.
- Optional cooling air scoop — A raised section on the left side window can be carefully cut out to allow air to be scooped directly into the body, providing additional engine cooling capability during intense racing sessions and keeping your brushless motor running at optimal temperatures.
- Large high-downforce/low-drag wing — The included wing mounting hardware allows you to fit a professionally designed rear wing that maximises downforce for improved stability and cornering performance whilst maintaining an efficient aerodynamic profile.
- Competitive racing compliance — The body meets all EFRA (#2058), IFMAR and ROAR body rule requirements, meaning you can confidently enter this body in sanctioned racing events and competitions without any regulatory concerns.
- Professional finishing package included — Each body comes with a decal sheet for custom graphics and a paint-then-peel overspray film with four window masks, giving you everything needed to create a professional-looking custom paint scheme.
Technical Performance
The PROTOform P47-N represents a significant advancement in 1/10 touring car body technology. This is a clear polycarbonate shell measuring 200mm in length, designed specifically for 1/10 scale touring car platforms. The regular weight (0.030 inch) construction offers the optimal balance between durability and performance, reducing overall vehicle mass whilst maintaining the structural integrity needed for competitive racing. The body's aerodynamic package has been engineered through extensive testing to provide measurable improvements across all performance metrics: enhanced cornering grip means your car will maintain higher speeds through technical sections, forward bite ensures stable acceleration and straight-line performance, and the reduced drag profile allows higher top speeds on extended straights. The optional left-side window cooling scoop is a clever engineering feature that allows drivers to further customise their aerodynamic package depending on track conditions and ambient temperatures. For racing in hot conditions or with high-output brushless motors, cutting this scoop provides direct cooling air flow to the engine bay, helping maintain peak motor performance throughout extended races. The large high-downforce/low-drag wing completes the aerodynamic package, designed to maximise grip and stability without sacrificing the top-end speed that modern racing demands. Build quality is exceptional throughout, with clean lines, precise panel fitment and professional-grade polycarbonate construction that will withstand the rigours of competitive touring car racing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this a complete ready-to-run RC car? — No, this is a body shell only and is designed to fit onto an existing 1/10 touring car chassis. You will need to transfer your chassis, electronics, motor and battery from your current body to use this component. This is ideal for racers and enthusiasts who already have a touring car setup and want to upgrade to a new competitive body shell.
- What chassis platforms does this body fit? — The P47-N is a 200mm touring car body designed for standard 1/10 touring car chassis from manufacturers such as Tamiya, HPI, Losi and other major brands that use the universal 200mm touring car layout. However, you should verify compatibility with your specific chassis platform before purchasing.
- Can I use this body in racing events? — Yes, the P47-N meets all major international racing regulations including EFRA (#2058), IFMAR and ROAR body rule requirements. This means you can confidently use this body in sanctioned racing competitions across the UK and internationally, making it an excellent choice for competitive racers.
- What does regular weight mean and why does it matter? — Regular weight (0.030 inches) refers to the thickness of the polycarbonate shell. This standard weight offers the best balance between durability and performance, reducing the overall weight of your vehicle compared to heavy-weight bodies whilst maintaining sufficient strength for competitive racing. The lighter weight improves handling responsiveness and suspension performance.
- Do I need special tools to install this body? — Installation of a touring car body typically requires basic tools such as scissors or a hobby knife for trimming, and you may need to drill mounting holes to match your specific chassis. The included window masks and paint-then-peel overspray film make the painting and finishing process much easier and more professional.
- What paint and finishing supplies do I need? — You will need polycarbonate-compatible paint (usually specialised RC body paint) and clear coat. The included paint-then-peel overspray film and window masks protect areas during painting. We recommend using quality RC body paint from brands that specifically formulate for polycarbonate to ensure excellent adhesion and finish quality.
- How does the optional cooling scoop work? — The P47-N features a raised section on the left side window that can be carefully cut out using a hobby knife or precision cutting tool. When cut out, this opening creates an air scoop that channels air directly into the body, providing active cooling to your motor during racing. This is particularly useful in hot conditions or when running high-powered brushless motors that generate significant heat.
- What is the difference between the P47 and other touring car bodies? — The P47-N is based on the award-winning P37 platform but features completely new aerodynamic concepts and design elements never before seen in the touring car class. Testing by the PROTOform team has demonstrated measurable improvements in steering precision, corner speed, forward bite and top speed compared to earlier designs. If you're upgrading from an older body or switching from a competitor's product, you should see noticeable improvements in lap times and overall handling consistency.
- Is this body suitable for beginners? — While the P47-N body itself is straightforward to install, it is primarily designed for experienced racers and competitive enthusiasts who already have a 1/10 touring car platform and understand the setup, tuning and maintenance required. If you're new to RC cars, you would be better served starting with a complete ready-to-run package rather than purchasing just a body shell.
