Protoform bodies, wings, and accessories are known worldwide and the leading brand when pros try to find an edge. Take a look at what the pros are running at events and you’ll see that most choose Protoform. Along with his father Dale, Eric Epp is part of a family duo that helps bring these great products to life. Besides being part of the industry, Eric is a passionate racer at heart.
RC Car Action: What are your work responsibilities?
Eric Epp: Depends which day you ask! My main focus is the Protoform brand, for which I oversee the development and public release of all body projects as well as doing some product development myself. I also manage our race team, making sure our drivers have the products needed to compete at the highest levels.
What’s the most fun part of the job?
