Overview
One of the most iconic drag cars of yesteryear is now available for your No Prep RC Drag Car! PROTOform introduces the 1963 Chevy® Corvette Stingray™ Pro-Mod.
This officially licensed body combines scale realism with a low-LCG aerodynamic upgrade to your 13.2" wheelbase No Prep Drag Car. We combined the signature "split-window", enlarged rear haunches and low-slung nose with some stretched, pro-mod drag racing proportions to transform your no-prep car into a scale-1/4-mile beast. The exaggerated ribs and front fenders create an extra stiff hood area to avoid folding down at high speeds. Due to the overall slammed design of the hood, this body will only fit the latest high-end No Prep racing models with low-profile front shock towers.
The Stingray Pro Mod features a built-in spoiler, but for top-level Outlaw Class racers, we recommend pairing the Stingray™ with the upgrade Outlaw Wing Kit (PRM173400) for maximum stability and performance at blazing fast speeds. Just trim the rear spoiler lip off your Stingray™ and mount the wing on the conveniently marked dimples.
The '63 Corvette Stingray™ Pro Mod body is Made in the USA from our crystal-clear polycarbonate and includes a detailed decal sheet and window masks. Give your SC drag car the most unique look at the strip with PROTOform's Corvette Stingray™ Pro Mod!
Don't forget to submit your finished PROTOform body to Reader's Rides when you are done. Who knows, you could get your ride posted on the blog and you could even win a prize!
This is sold as a clear and unpainted body. Image of the painted body is only to display details. No vehicle chassis is included with this product.

Overview
One of the most iconic drag cars of yesteryear is now available for your No Prep RC drag car! PROTOform introduces the 1963 Chevy Corvette Stingray Pro-Mod, an officially licensed body that combines scale realism with a low-LCG aerodynamic upgrade specifically designed for 13.2-inch wheelbase No Prep drag cars. Whether you're a competitive RC drag racer in the UK or someone looking to build a stunning scale replica for the track, this is the ultimate choice for serious enthusiasts who demand authenticity without compromising on performance.
This officially licensed body transforms your no-prep RC car into a scale quarter-mile beast. The signature split-window design, enlarged rear haunches, and low-slung nose are combined with stretched, pro-mod drag racing proportions that give your brushless RC car an unmistakable presence at the strip. The exaggerated ribs and front fenders create an extra stiff hood area that resists folding down at high speeds—a critical feature for competitive drag racing where aerodynamic stability directly impacts performance and consistency.
The PROTOform 1963 Corvette Stingray Pro-Mod represents the pinnacle of RC drag car body design, offering UK RC enthusiasts an uncompromising combination of period-correct styling and modern aerodynamic engineering. Made in the USA from crystal-clear polycarbonate since 1982, this is a body designed for racers who refuse to compromise on either performance or aesthetics.
Key Features
- Officially Licensed by General Motors — This body carries authentic GM licensing, ensuring you're building with a genuinely authorised replica of the iconic 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not a generic interpretation or unlicensed copy.
- State-of-the-Art Aerodynamics — The low-LCG (low centre of gravity) design incorporates modern aerodynamic principles that provide improved stability during high-speed drag racing, helping your RC car maintain consistency through the quarter-mile.
- Classic Pro-Mod Styling — The body blends authentic 1963 Corvette design cues with exaggerated pro-mod proportions, creating a visually striking appearance that stands out on the track whilst maintaining scale realism.
- Built-in Spoiler — A rear spoiler is integrated into the bodyshell design, providing aerodynamic downforce to help keep your drag car planted at high speeds.
- Outlaw Wing Compatible — For top-level Outlaw Class racers, you can upgrade performance by adding the PRM173400 Outlaw Wing Kit (sold separately) which mounts on conveniently marked dimples after trimming the rear spoiler lip.
- Paint-then-Peel Overspray Film Included — The included overspray protection film allows you to mask windows and body details during painting, then peel away cleanly for a professional finish without tedious masking cleanup.
- Crystal-Clear Polycarbonate Construction — Made from premium, optically clear polycarbonate material that maintains transparency and structural integrity, allowing your paint and decals to shine through whilst providing the stiffness needed for high-speed racing.
- Window Masks Included — Pre-made window masks are provided in the box, saving you time during preparation and ensuring clean, professional window masking without manual cutting.
- Detailed Decal Sheet — A comprehensive decal sheet with authentic graphics and badging is included, allowing you to customise your build and add period-correct detailing.
- Exaggerated Hood Ribs and Front Fenders — These design elements create an extra stiff hood area that resists deformation during acceleration and high-speed runs, maintaining aerodynamic integrity when your brushless RC drag car is at full throttle.
- Slammed Design Profile — The overall low, slammed proportions give a pro-mod aesthetic whilst lowering the centre of gravity for improved handling characteristics on No Prep drag courses.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — PROTOform's decades of manufacturing experience in the United States ensures consistent quality, precision tooling, and attention to detail that reflects their heritage as an industry-leading bodyshell manufacturer.
- Fits 13.2-inch Wheelbase Drag Cars with Low-Profile Shock Towers — This body is specifically engineered for the latest high-end No Prep racing models featuring low-profile front shock towers, ensuring compatibility with current competition platforms.
Technical Performance
The PROTOform 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Pro-Mod clear body represents cutting-edge RC drag car bodyshell engineering. Manufactured from premium crystal-clear polycarbonate, the body measures 634mm in length, 286mm in width, and 141mm in height, with a wheelbase of 335mm (13.2 inches), perfectly matched to modern SC-based No Prep drag platforms. The engineering prioritises aerodynamic efficiency through low-LCG design principles that directly translate to improved launch consistency and mid-range acceleration stability when paired with brushless RC racing motors and high-performance ESC systems. The exaggerated hood ribs, front fenders, and slammed profile work together to maximise downforce whilst minimising drag coefficient, critical factors when every hundredth of a second counts in competitive drag racing. The body accommodates vehicles with low-profile front shock towers, a requirement found on the latest generation of high-end No Prep racing chassis. Built-in structural reinforcements around the hood area prevent folding and deformation during aggressive acceleration, maintaining aerodynamic integrity through the entire drag strip. The body's compatibility with both standard built-in spoiler racing and upgraded Outlaw Wing configurations provides flexibility for competitors at different performance levels, from clubhouse racers to serious contenders pushing for every millisecond of improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC drag car chassis is this body compatible with? — This body is designed specifically for 13.2-inch wheelbase No Prep drag cars with low-profile front shock towers. Compatible platforms include the Team Associated RC10DR Desert Edition Brushless and the Associated DR10M Drag Car Mid-Motor Team Kit. Always verify that your chassis has the low-profile shock tower configuration before purchasing, as standard shock tower heights will prevent proper fitment.
- Is this a painted body or do I need to paint it myself? — This is sold as a clear, unpainted body. You will need to apply polycarbonate paint yourself. The included paint-then-peel overspray film makes the painting process easier by protecting windows and detail areas during the spray process—simply paint over the film, then peel it away for a clean finish.
- Can I upgrade this body with the Outlaw Wing? — Yes, the body features conveniently marked dimples on the rear for mounting the optional PRM173400 Outlaw Wing Kit. Simply trim off the rear spoiler lip from the body and mount the upgrade wing on the marked locations. This configuration is recommended for top-level Outlaw Class racers seeking maximum aerodynamic stability at extremely high speeds.
- What dimensions should I expect? — The bodyshell measures 634mm long, 286mm wide, and 141mm tall, with a wheelbase of 335mm (13.2 inches). These proportions are designed to fit modern No Prep platforms whilst maintaining authentic 1963 Corvette Stingray proportions.
- Is this body suitable for drag racing competition? — Yes, this body is specifically engineered for No Prep drag racing with state-of-the-art aerodynamic design and low-LCG construction. The exaggerated hood ribs create structural rigidity to prevent deformation during high-speed acceleration, and the built-in spoiler provides aerodynamic downforce for improved traction and stability.
- What makes this better than other drag car bodies? — This body combines official GM licensing for authentic styling with modern aerodynamic engineering purpose-built for No Prep competition. The low-LCG design, reinforced hood structure, and choice of adding an Outlaw Wing distinguish this from generic drag bodies. Additionally, it's made in the USA by PROTOform, a manufacturer with over 40 years of industry experience and reputation for quality polycarbonate bodyshell construction.
- Will the hood fold or deform at high speeds? — No, the exaggerated ribs and front fenders create an extra stiff hood area specifically engineered to resist folding during aggressive acceleration and high-speed runs, maintaining aerodynamic profile integrity throughout your drag passes.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This body is designed for experienced RC drag racers rather than beginners, as it requires a compatible No Prep drag car chassis, painting skills, and understanding of RC drag racing setup and tuning. Beginners should start with a complete RTR (Ready to Run) drag car platform before investing in premium competition bodyshells like this.
