PRM 1/10 Venturi GT Clear Body: 190mm Touring Car G-PRM1591-25

Overview

Introducing the PROTOform Venturi GT, a new contender in the popular USGT class that combines scale looks with all-out performance on the track. Whether you're an experienced RC car UK racer or a dedicated club competitor, this clear body shell represents a significant leap forward in 1/10 touring car design. The Venturi GT takes inspiration from a new wave of hypercars, featuring a low-CG, cab-forward design sure to provide exceptional handling characteristics whilst also looking stunning under the lights at your local track. This is a purpose-built racing body shell that has earned full approval for USGT-sanctioned competition, making it an ideal choice for serious competitors looking to maximise their performance potential.

The super low-slung hood and raised wheel arches give the Venturi an aggressive GT-style aesthetic that turns heads on the track, whilst the deeply sculpted side panels provide superior side bite and overall body rigidity where it matters most. At approximately 85-90 grams when race-ready, this body offers a significant weight advantage that directly translates to improved acceleration, braking performance and overall handling dynamics. The crystal clear polycarbonate construction allows you to see the engineering beneath whilst providing the durability needed for competitive racing. Made in the USA since 1982, PROTOform bodies are trusted by competitors worldwide and represent the gold standard in 1/10 touring car bodywork.

This is sold as a clear and unpainted body shell, giving you complete creative freedom to design your own unique livery or replicate your favourite real-world racing schemes. The comprehensive package includes everything you need to get race-ready, from detailed decals to a paint-then-peel overspray film that makes painting and preparation straightforward. No vehicle chassis is included with this product, so you'll need to have your own 190mm wheelbase touring car ready to accept this fantastic new body.

Key Features

• USGT Class Approved Design — The Venturi GT has been fully approved for competition under USGT rules, meaning you can race it at sanctioned events with complete confidence. This racing pedigree ensures the body meets strict performance and safety standards demanded by organised RC racing.
• Low-CG, Cab-Forward Styling — The innovative cab-forward layout with a low centre of gravity dramatically improves handling characteristics and vehicle stability through high-speed corners. This aerodynamic philosophy translates directly to quicker lap times and more predictable on-track behaviour, giving you the edge over competitors.
• Dual Rear Wing Trim Lines — The rear wing features two distinct cut lines: a lower 10mm trim for USGT-sanctioned racing where downforce regulations are strict, and a taller cut line for no-holds-barred club racing where extra rear downforce improves traction and straight-line stability. This flexibility means you can optimise the body for your specific racing format.
• Deeply Sculpted Side Panels — Advanced panel sculpting provides superior side bite and dramatically increases overall body rigidity. These aren't just aesthetic details—they enhance aerodynamic flow and structural strength during aggressive cornering, directly improving lap times and consistency.
• Crystal Clear Polycarbonate Construction — Made from high-quality, optically transparent polycarbonate, this body showcases your chassis and components whilst providing the impact resistance needed for competitive racing. The material is light yet durable, weighing just 85-90 grams race-ready.
• Paint-then-Peel Overspray Film Built-in — The integrated overspray protection film allows you to paint your body without masking windows, then simply peel away the protective layer to reveal perfectly clean glass areas. This dramatically simplifies the painting process and ensures professional results even for first-time body painters.
• Comprehensive Decal Sheet — An extensive decal sheet is included with windshield headers, number plates and additional detailing options, giving you everything needed to create a competition-ready appearance. Whether you choose to use all the decals or create your own custom scheme, the options are completely yours.
• Window Mask Sheet Included — Professional-grade masking material is provided to protect window areas during painting, ensuring crisp, clean lines and a professional finish. This is particularly valuable when creating detailed custom liveries for ready to run RC racing.
• Wing Mounting Hardware Included — All necessary hardware for secure rear wing installation is provided, ensuring your downforce-generating rear wing stays perfectly positioned throughout your racing sessions without movement or vibration.
• Made in the USA Since 1982 — PROTOform brings nearly four decades of RC body manufacturing expertise to every product. This heritage ensures consistent quality, proven engineering and the kind of attention to detail that competitive racers demand.

Technical Performance

The Venturi GT body shell represents cutting-edge engineering in 1/10 touring car design, optimised for competitive racing across both USGT-sanctioned events and club-level competitions. Manufactured from premium crystal clear polycarbonate, the body achieves a race-ready weight of approximately 85-90 grams—a critical specification that directly impacts your touring car's acceleration, braking performance and overall responsiveness. The low-CG cab-forward design philosophy is not merely aesthetic; it fundamentally alters the aerodynamic and handling characteristics of your 190mm wheelbase touring car. The deeply sculpted side panels extend the effective aerodynamic surfaces, generating additional downforce and improving side bite during high-speed cornering. The dual rear wing trim lines accommodate different competition formats: the lower 10mm profile satisfies strict USGT regulation requirements where downforce is carefully controlled, whilst the taller cut-line option provides maximum rear downforce for club racing where aerodynamic advantage is unlimited. With a length of 430mm (16.9 inches), width of 191mm (7.5 inches) and wheelbase of 258mm (10.16 inches), this body is engineered to fit 190mm touring car chassis with precision. The construction quality reflects PROTOform's manufacturing heritage, with consistent wall thickness and careful attention to structural integrity that ensures the body maintains its aerodynamic profile lap after lap, season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the PROTOform Venturi GT approved for competitive racing? — Yes, the Venturi GT has been fully approved for USGT-sanctioned racing events. It meets all competition regulations and is trusted by competitive racers worldwide. This official approval gives you confidence to race at organised events without concerns about technical compliance.
• What is the difference between the two rear wing trim lines? — The lower 10mm trim line is designed for USGT-sanctioned racing where downforce is regulated and limited. The taller cut line provides increased rear downforce for club racing and practice sessions where maximum aerodynamic advantage is desired. You can choose which line to cut based on your specific racing format and conditions.
• What 190mm touring car chassis will this body fit? — This body is designed for any 1/10 scale chassis with a 190mm wheelbase. This includes most modern touring cars and can also fit converted buggies. We recommend checking your specific chassis specifications to confirm the wheelbase before purchasing.
• How much does the body weigh? — The Venturi GT achieves a race-ready weight of approximately 85-90 grams. This lightweight construction is critical for touring car performance, improving acceleration, braking and overall handling dynamics compared to heavier body shells.
• Is this body suitable for beginners? — Whilst the body itself is straightforward to fit to any 190mm touring car, the preparation process (painting and decal application) requires some care and attention. Beginners can certainly use this body, though you may want to allow extra time for the painting and finishing stages. The included paint-then-peel overspray film makes the painting process significantly easier than traditional masking methods.
• What painting process should I follow? — Start by cleaning the body thoroughly and applying the included window mask sheet to protect glass areas. Paint your chosen colour scheme, then carefully peel away the paint-then-peel overspray film. Finally, apply the extensive included decal sheet and mount the body onto your 190mm touring car chassis using the provided wing mounting hardware.
• Does this body come painted? — No, this is sold as a clear unpainted body shell. You have complete creative freedom to design your own custom livery or replicate genuine race schemes. The included comprehensive decal sheet provides numerous options for finishing your design.
• Can I use this body for casual bashing or only racing? — Whilst the Venturi GT is engineered for competitive USGT racing, its tough polycarbonate construction makes it suitable for any 190mm touring car use. However, the aerodynamic features and competition-focused design are optimised for on-track performance rather than casual recreational use.
