Chassis for Lola Aston Martin

Cumbre Racing CRT-020S Chassis: 3D Engineering for the Lola Aston Martin Racing Car

The CRT-020S from Cumbre Racing Technologies is the technical answer for those looking to extract maximum performance from the Lola Aston Martin body on track. Manufactured using high-strength technical resin 3D printing with elastic memory, this chassis replaces the standard base and transforms a collector's model into a car capable of competing in clubs with real guarantees.

Function and Performance

The geometry of the CRT-020S is designed to address one of the common challenges when preparing the Lola Aston Martin: ensuring that the body, with its aerodynamic volume and characteristic mass distribution, runs evenly on the track. To achieve this, the chassis operates on two fundamental fronts:

• Selective torsional stiffness: the structure withstands lateral forces in corners without transmitting unnecessary vibrations to the front end.
• Controlled flexibility: allows the car to absorb track irregularities while maintaining constant rear traction, ensuring the wheels do not lose contact.

Compatibility and Configuration

The chassis is designed to accommodate independent motor pods compatible with Slot.it type systems or similar. This solution allows for precise tuning of the motor's tilt, which makes a significant difference on technical tracks with elevation changes or undulating sections.

• Body compatibility: Lola Aston Martin (verify the exact reference from the body manufacturer before mounting).
• Motor pods: supports independent pods of Slot.it type or equivalents for inline or anglewinder configuration depending on the pod used.
• Front axle: holes for height adjustment using metric Allen screws, facilitating ride height adjustment without the need for special tools.
• Anchor points: designed to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible, improving cornering behaviour compared to the standard chassis.

Assembly and Preparation

As an aftermarket chassis made from technical 3D resin, it is important to consider some aspects before and during assembly:

• Ensure that the Lola Aston Martin body to be used is compatible with the anchor points of the CRT-020S before starting assembly.
• The motor pod adjustment should be done with the car resting on the track to check that the tilt is uniform on both sides.
• Check the clearance of the front axle after adjusting the height: excessive tightening of the Allen screw can lock the steering and hinder cornering performance.
• The technical resin allows for fine sanding at contact points if necessary to refine the fit with the body.

Ideal for…

This chassis is designed for club racers competing with GT bodies or Le Mans prototypes, and for builders looking to extract the real potential of the Lola Aston Martin without resorting to aggressive modifications. It is also a very valid option for those who have acquired the body for its aesthetic appeal and want to provide it with a mechanical base that meets expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the CRT-020S chassis compatible with any Lola Aston Martin body?

It is specifically designed for the Lola Aston Martin slot body, but since there are versions from different manufacturers with slight dimensional differences, we recommend verifying the exact reference of your body before placing an order.

What type of motor pod does it accept?

The CRT-020S supports independent motor pods compatible with Slot.it type systems or similar. The final configuration (inline or anglewinder) will depend on the pod that is mounted, not the chassis itself.

Do I need special tools to assemble it?

No. The front axle adjustment is done with standard metric Allen screws, which are part of the usual equipment of any slot builder. The motor pod is installed according to the instructions from the manufacturer of the pod itself.

Is the 3D technical resin strong enough for competitive use?

Yes. The resin used by Cumbre Racing Technologies incorporates elastic memory, allowing it to absorb impacts without fracturing, unlike more rigid resins. It is a common material in high-level handcrafted competition chassis.

Does the chassis include the motor pod or front axle?

The product is the chassis as an individual piece. Motor pods, axles, guides, and braids are not included and must be purchased separately according to each builder's preferences.

Is it suitable for universal track systems (Scalextric, Ninco) and Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it)?

The chassis itself is compatible with both track systems, as the adaptation to the type of track depends on the guide and braids used, not on the chassis structure.

The Cumbre Racing Technologies CRT-020S is a 3D-printed technical chassis engineered for the Lola Aston Martin slot car body. Designed for club racing and serious hobbyists, it combines torsional stiffness with controlled flex to maximize traction and cornering performance. Compatible with independent motor pods in Slot.it format, it allows precise swing axle tuning and keeps the centre of gravity as low as possible.
