Lola Aston Martin DBR1-2 inline body kit

The inline body kit of the Lola Aston Martin DBR1-2, by Slot.it

Slot.it has been a reference for the most demanding slot car builders for years, and this inline body shell of the Lola Aston Martin DBR1-2 (reference SICS31b2) is a clear example of why. Specifically designed for inline configurations —longitudinal motor in line with the rear axle— this body kit allows for the combination of the distinctive silhouette of the Le Mans prototype with the advantages offered by this mechanical layout.

What is an inline body kit?

When we talk about an inline body kit, we refer to a body designed to fit a chassis with inline motorisation. In this type of configuration, the motor is placed longitudinally —perpendicular to the rear axle— which allows for a lower centre of gravity and a more balanced weight distribution. It should not be confused with the sidewinder configuration, where the motor runs parallel to the rear axle, nor with the anglewinder, which is at an angle.

Slot.it has designed this body kit while respecting the proportions of the original prototype, ensuring that the final result is coherent both in competition and in collection.

Main features

• Body specifically for inline motorisation setups.
• Represents the Lola Aston Martin DBR1-2, one of the most recognisable prototypes in endurance racing.
• Manufactured by Slot.it, a leading brand in the competitive slot market.
• Reference: SICS31b2.
• Compatible with Slot.it chassis and mechanical systems for inline configurations.

Applications and use

This body kit is primarily aimed at two user profiles: the club builder looking to construct a competition car with the DBR1-2 silhouette on an inline mechanical setup, and the collector wanting to expand their garage with a quality body to customise as they wish. In both cases, the Slot.it origin guarantees a manufacturing and fitting standard that simplifies the assembly process.

As this is a body kit —body without included mechanics— the user has complete freedom to select the chassis, motor, and accessories that best suit their track configuration, whether on SPORT track or other compatible systems.

Ideal for…

• Builders wishing to construct a Lola Aston Martin DBR1-2 with inline mechanics from scratch.
• Club competitors looking to personalise their fleet with endurance prototype silhouettes.
• Collectors interested in expanding their garage with reference bodies for assembly.

Considerations

As it is exclusively the body, the body kit does not include chassis, motor, guide, braid, or tyres. It is necessary to have the appropriate mechanical components for an inline Slot.it configuration to complete the assembly. If you have questions about compatibility with your current chassis, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an inline body kit and a sidewinder one?

The difference lies in the motor arrangement in the chassis. In the inline setup, the motor is in line with the rear axle (longitudinal), which lowers the centre of gravity. In the sidewinder, the motor runs parallel to the rear axle (transverse). Each arrangement has different implications for track behaviour, and the body kit must be compatible with the chosen mechanical configuration.

Does this body kit include chassis, motor, or accessories?

No. It is solely the body. The chassis, motor, guide, braid, and tyres must be purchased separately and be compatible with an inline Slot.it configuration.

Which Slot.it chassis is this body compatible with?

It is designed for Slot.it inline setups. To confirm exact compatibility with a specific chassis, we recommend checking the official Slot.it website or contacting our team at Ministry of Hobby.

Is it suitable for club competition use?

Yes, as long as your championship regulations allow the use of this type of body and the chosen mechanical combination complies with current rules. It is a highly valued option among builders competing in endurance prototype classes.

Does it come painted or unpainted?

We do not have confirmed information about the finish of this specific reference. We recommend consulting us before placing your order if this detail is relevant to your project.

The Slot.it SICS31b2 Lola Aston Martin DBR1-2 inline body kit is a purpose-built shell for inline motor configurations, offering slot car builders and club racers the iconic DBR1-2 prototype silhouette with the low centre of gravity benefits of inline setup. A top choice for competitive slot racing and scale modelling enthusiasts looking for quality Slot.it components.

Unverified information

It has not been possible to confirm whether this body is sold painted, unpainted, or in both versions, nor the exact compatibility data with specific Slot.it chassis references beyond the general inline configuration. If you need this information before your order, please contact our team.
