PROTOform Type-S X-Lite Shell for 190mm Touring Cars

The PROTOform 1560-20 Type-S X-Lite is a clear, lightweight body shell intended for 190mm touring cars, offering a low-mass option that supports internal painting and decal work. Its profile emphasises smooth airflow and trim weight savings for competitive environments.

Aerodynamic Profile for Consistent Performance

The Type-S X-Lite shape has been drafted to smooth airflow across the body, contributing to stable downforce and predictable behaviour through fast sections. Its construction aims to strike a sensible compromise between minimal weight and durable shape retention.

Specifically Sized for 1/10 Scale 190mm Applications

Produced to 190mm width, this body suits standard 1/10 scale touring car layouts and common mounting patterns, making it straightforward to fit and prepare for racing or club running.

Specifications

  • Width: 190mm
  • Material: Clear Polycarbonate
  • Weight: X-Lite
  • Compatibility: 1/10 Scale Touring Cars

As a lightweight, paintable body for 190mm touring cars, the PROTOform 1560-20 Type-S X-Lite suits drivers wanting a simple aero advantage and a clean base for custom liveries.

Can this body be run unpainted?

You can run the clear shell without paint, though painting the inside improves UV resistance and gives a finished look. Internal paint also adds a touch of stiffness to the shell.

How should I mount the body to prevent rubbing?

Check clearance at wheel arches and adjust body posts to avoid contact. Use thin foam or body mounts at key points to stop rubbing and reduce vibration transfer.

Are there paint brand recommendations for best finish?

Choose paints formulated for polycarbonate and follow the manufacturer's thinning and drying guidelines. Test colours on a spare section before full application.

Will the X-Lite affect battery or electronics fitment?

No, the body shape does not change internal layout; ensure you trim openings for cooling or antenna routing as needed for your specific electronics layout.

What maintenance helps keep the shell looking new?

Clean with mild soap and water, avoid harsh solvents on painted areas, and store out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and warping over time.
