Why Lexan?

Lexan, or flexible polycarbonate, is the reference material in competition slot car bodies. Its lightweight nature reduces the overall weight of the car, contributing to better cornering performance, and its flexibility allows it to absorb impacts without breaking as easily as rigid ABS. A body shell in good condition is not just an aesthetic issue: it influences the aerodynamics of the model and the proper attachment of the decoration.

Compatibility and Assembly

This body shell is specifically designed for Carrera cars from the Audi DTM 2014 series. As it is an original part from the manufacturer, the fit at the chassis anchor points is exact, with no need for adaptations or modifications. It is recommended to check the condition of the original clips or screws before proceeding with the assembly to ensure a firm hold during operation.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts looking to replace a body shell damaged by track accidents.
• Collectors wishing to keep their original unit intact and use this as a spare for operation.
• Those seeking a clean Lexan base to apply a custom decoration with paints compatible with polycarbonate (such as the specific lines from Tamiya or Vallejo for Lexan).

Considerations

As this is a non-decorated Lexan body shell or in its standard finish, it is important to handle it carefully to avoid scratching the surface before assembly. If it is to be painted, remember that Lexan requires paints formulated for polycarbonate; conventional paints for ABS plastic do not adhere properly to this material.
