Key Features
- Aerodynamic, High-Downforce Profile — The PTzero1 features a carefully engineered aerodynamic design that delivers maximum downforce and stability at speed, allowing your RC touring car to maintain grip through corners and across varied track surfaces whilst reducing understeer and improving overall handling characteristics.
- Engineered Contours for Optimal Rigidity — The body's contoured design provides exceptional structural rigidity and significantly reduces flex during aggressive cornering and acceleration, ensuring consistent performance lap after lap and eliminating the unpredictable handling that comes from body flex in competitive racing.
- Recessed Trunk Section — The innovative recessed trunk section lowers the centre of gravity and adds extra stiffness to the chassis, improving weight distribution and contributing to better handling balance and overall performance on the track.
- Signature Mounting Marks for Precision Adjustment — PROTOform's renowned mounting marks inside the front wheel arches allow you to choose your body position in precise 2mm increments up to +8mm, giving you the ability to fine-tune your setup for different track conditions and driving styles, whilst additional markings on the hood and rear bumper ensure easy alignment of body posts.
- Protective Body Post Decals — The included decal sheet features protective decals for body posts that enhance durability and help prevent damage to critical mounting points during aggressive driving and crashes.

Technical Performance
The PTzero1 Light Weight body represents the pinnacle of 1/10 scale touring car aerodynamic design, engineered specifically for 190mm wheelbase touring cars with demanding performance requirements. At 0.65mm thickness, this lightweight variant strikes the perfect balance between durability and minimal weight penalty, making it ideal for novice drivers who benefit from predictable handling characteristics and for outdoor racing in windy conditions where lighter bodies demonstrate superior stability. The body's engineered contours have been developed through rigorous testing to provide optimal rigidity, reducing the flex that can cause unpredictable handling characteristics during aggressive cornering and high-speed acceleration. The recessed trunk section not only contributes to a lower centre of gravity but also adds structural stiffness where it matters most, improving overall chassis feel and responsiveness. The high-downforce aerodynamic profile ensures your RC touring car maintains grip and composure across diverse track conditions, from smooth indoor circuits to bumpy outdoor layouts. With precise mounting marks allowing adjustment in 2mm increments up to +8mm, you have genuine control over body position to optimise performance for your specific track and driving style. The complete package includes everything needed to prepare your body for racing: protective window masks, paint-then-peel overspray film, protective decals for body posts, mounting hardware including plastic wing buttons, under-wing nuts, and M3 × 6 black screws, plus a stylish decal sheet for finishing touches.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the PTzero1 Light Weight suitable for beginners to RC touring car racing? — Yes, the Light Weight (0.65mm) variant is specifically designed for novice drivers. The reduced weight compared to heavier body options provides more predictable handling characteristics and is particularly well-suited to outdoor racing in windy conditions where lighter bodies demonstrate superior stability and responsiveness. If you're new to competitive RC touring car racing in the UK, this is an excellent choice.
- What is the difference between the Light Weight (0.65mm) and PRO-Lite (0.5mm) versions? — The Light Weight (0.65mm) version offered here is thicker and more durable than the PRO-Lite (0.5mm) variant. The PRO-Lite is described as a good all-around option for experienced drivers, whilst the Light Weight is specifically optimised for novice drivers and windy outdoor conditions. The extra thickness means better durability for learning drivers whilst still providing excellent performance.
- Will this body fit my touring car chassis? — The PTzero1 is designed specifically for 190mm wheelbase touring cars. This is the standard wheelbase for most competitive 1/10 electric touring car classes in the UK and internationally. Check your chassis documentation to confirm it has a 190mm wheelbase before ordering. The body includes precise mounting marks to help you position it correctly on your specific chassis.
- What preparation work is required before racing? — This is a clear, unpainted body that requires painting before use. The good news is that everything you need to prepare it is included: window masks to protect the clear areas, paint-then-peel overspray film to keep your windows clean during painting, and protective decals for the body posts. Simply clean the body, apply the window mask and overspray film, paint with your chosen colours and graphics, allow to dry, then peel away the protective film. The complete preparation process takes just a few hours.
- What paint should I use on the PTzero1 body? — Use polycarbonate-specific RC body paint, which adheres properly to polycarbonate material. The crystal-clear polycarbonate construction of the PTzero1 provides excellent paint adhesion. Apply a clear base coat first, then your chosen colour coats, and optionally finish with clear coat for extra protection and gloss.
- Does this body meet racing rules and regulations? — Yes, the PTzero1 is specifically designed to meet Global Body Spec rules, making it legal for sanctioned competitive racing events and club racing. If you're competing in formal races in the UK or internationally, this body is an approved choice for your class.
- What body posts will I need? — Body posts are chassis-specific and are not included with the body. Check your chassis manual to determine the correct body post height and type for your particular touring car model. The PTzero1's mounting marks will help you position posts correctly once installed.
- Can I adjust the body position after mounting? — Yes, one of the standout features of the PTzero1 is the signature mounting marks inside the front wheel arches that allow you to adjust body position in precise 2mm increments up to +8mm. This means you can fine-tune aerodynamic performance for different tracks and weather conditions without purchasing a different body.
- Is this suitable for indoor track racing? — The PTzero1 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor racing. However, the Light Weight (0.65mm) variant is specifically optimised for outdoor conditions and windy environments. If you're primarily racing indoors on smooth circuits, the lighter PRO-Lite (0.5mm) version might be worth considering, though this Light Weight version will work perfectly well indoors too.
- How durable is polycarbonate? — Polycarbonate is extremely durable and is the standard material for RC touring car bodies. It provides excellent impact resistance and will withstand the rigours of competitive racing. The Light Weight (0.65mm) thickness used in this body offers good durability whilst keeping weight to a minimum, particularly important for novice drivers and windy outdoor conditions.
