Without a doubt, the Dodge Stratus body style has been the most popular body style ever raced in the world of RC sedans. For six straight years racers around the world have chosen Stratus bodies to dominate and win national titles and world championships. PROTOform has been a key player in the development and evolution of the Stratus race-body that's included an IFMAR ISTC World Championship as well as numerous national titles on every continent.
The Stratus "C" is the first race body that PROTOform has produced specifically for carpet racing. Anyone who has raced at a large, well-attended carpet racing event realizes how the traction levels become extremely high, unlike "the track back home". A well tuned carpet racecar needs balance without excessive downforce to allow the car to run "free". It's in this situation that the "C" version of the Stratus 3.0 will shine.

This ROAR legal body comes with 2 trim lines, one for legal sanctioned racing as well as one for "slammed" club racing. Its small wheel well markings compliment the ultra small 56 mm foams used by the "pro racers". It conforms to all IFMAR, FEMCA, JMRCA and FAMAR specs. It's light weight too, weighing in at 90 grams. (without film or paint) As usual, it includes an add-on wing, mounting hardware, decal sheet, window masks and protective film.

Features:
• Light durable .030 lexan with protective film
• Lower-downforce design for high-bite carpet track conditions
• Wheel wells optimized for small diameter foam tires
• ROAR legal and comforms to all IFMAR specs

Part no.1476-00
Price: $25.00

I am not sure if I like this as much as the previous versions. The roof looks alittle odd. For serious racing doesn't really matter too much, but, when club racing sedan I like the vehicle to be eye pleasing as well.

Yea the windows really show how it is shaped. Like an equal arch in the front and rear.

If you line it up next to a parma alfa, its nearly idenitcal with a more dome roof (ie less drag) and is obviously nothing like the real car, but whatever, sedan bodies are becoming less and less to scale since the governing bodies dont step in and approve everything... Something to note... body was available to team guys i think at snowbirds yet at that race and at the nationals everyone minus one or two drivers ran the parma alfa...
