Precision bodywork designed around the PROTOform PFM-12

The PROTOform PFM-12 Lightweight Clear Body gives 1/12 GT12 on-road cars a low-mass option that keeps airflow tidy. Manufactured from clear polycarbonate, it is easy to cut and customise while helping to reduce unwanted drag on fast straights.

Aerodynamic intent and handling benefits

With an emphasis on stability, the PFM-12 contours control airflow to improve mid-corner grip and straight-line stability. Its light construction helps the car respond quicker to throttle and steering inputs, which matters in tight club races.

Fitment guidance and paint prep

This shell is made to sit on common 1/12 GT12 chassis without major modification. For best results, clean the surface, use polycarbonate paint and mask carefully to preserve clear sections or sponsor panels.

The PFM-12 is a straightforward upgrade for hobbyists seeking a light, tuneable body that is easy to personalise for race day.

Most builds need light trimming around wheel wells and mounts; follow chassis reference lines and test-fit before finalising cuts.
Yes, adding small polycarbonate tabs or using body posts with washers helps protect mounts and keeps the shell secure during aggressive driving.
Using proper polycarbonate paints and thin coats prevents bleed under masks; allow each coat to dry thoroughly to avoid seepage.
Yes, the PFM-12's aerodynamic balance and light weight work well on low-grip indoor surfaces, though setup changes may be needed for optimal balance.
