Mustang Lexan Rally 207 Body Shell: Lightweight and Compatible with Avant Slot

The Lexan Rally 207 (ref. M-L0010R) from Mustang is a body shell made from Lexan —high-strength polycarbonate— designed to fit directly onto Avant Slot chassis. Its construction in this material makes it significantly lighter than conventional plastic bodies, which directly impacts the dynamic behaviour of the car on track.

Main Features

• Material: Lexan (flexible and impact-resistant polycarbonate).
• Compatibility: designed for Avant Slot chassis.
• Reference: M-L0010R.
• Manufacturer: Mustang.
• Unpainted body shell, ready to be decorated with the colours and livery of your choice.

Why Lexan?

Lexan is the reference material in slot racing when looking to reduce the total weight of the vehicle without sacrificing strength. Unlike injected plastic, polycarbonate absorbs impacts without easily breaking, which extends the lifespan of the body shell even on tracks with tight corners or frequent rubbing areas.

Another key advantage: being translucent, it allows for interior lighting if an LED system is installed, and it accepts specific Lexan paint applied from the inside, which protects the decoration from external wear. For this, brands like Tamiya or Vallejo offer specific products for polycarbonate.

Compatibility and Assembly

This body shell is designed to work directly on Avant Slot chassis. Before assembly, it is advisable to check the mounts and the clearance height relative to the chassis to ensure that the body shell fits correctly without rubbing on the axles or guide. Fine adjustments to the body mounts can make a difference in cornering stability.

Preparation and Customisation

Arriving unpainted, the Lexan Rally 207 is the ideal starting point for those who enjoy both mechanical preparation and the creative aspect of the hobby. You can apply competition decals, airbrush, or vinyl to recreate any rally livery that inspires you. Always remember to use paints compatible with polycarbonate and apply them from the inside of the body shell for better results and greater durability.

Ideal for…

• Club racers looking to reduce the weight of their competition car.
• Enthusiasts who want to customise their vehicle with their own livery.
• Preparers who regularly work with Avant Slot bases and need a replacement or alternative body shell.

Considerations

• The body shell is supplied unpainted: you will need specific paints for Lexan/polycarbonate.
• Always check the exact compatibility with your Avant Slot chassis before assembly.
• To cut or adjust the mounts, use appropriate tools for polycarbonate and work carefully to avoid chipping the material.
