A Lexan cockpit designed for those who take speed seriously
The Sloting Plus Universal Speed Lexan Cockpit (ref. SP395001) is a finishing piece designed to complete the interior of competition slot car bodies.

Sloting Plus is a leading brand in the spare parts and slot preparation tool sector, and this cockpit is a good example of its philosophy: pieces designed for the preparer and the demanding enthusiast who wants a well-finished car both inside and out.

Function and application
The cockpit is the piece that occupies the interior of the body, simulating the driver's seat. In speed slot cars, where many bodies are made of clear or semi-transparent Lexan, a good cockpit makes the difference between a car with a neglected appearance and one that is truly finished. This model from Sloting Plus adapts to a wide range of bodies thanks to its universal design, making it a very practical spare part for the workshop or club box.
Assembly and preparation
Assembly is straightforward: it fits or is secured inside the body according to its design. Being made of Lexan, it easily accepts the use of specific polycarbonate paints — such as those from Tamiya or Kaleido in their Lexan range — if you wish to customise the interior with cockpit colours, seat belts, or driver details. This allows for a much higher level of finish with little additional effort.
Ideal for…
- Preparers and enthusiasts who build or restore speed slot car bodies.
- Clubs that need finishing spare parts to keep cars in good visual condition.
- Anyone who wants to give a more realistic finish to the interior of their car without complications.
Aspects to consider
As it is a universal design, it may require some fine-tuning (trimming or minimal adaptation) to fit perfectly in bodies with very specific geometry. We recommend checking the dimensions of the cockpit before permanently securing the piece.
