Lexan Rally 307 Body Shell for Ninco Track: Lightweight and Durability for Competition
The Lexan Rally 307 (ref. M-L0035R) is a body shell made from polycarbonate —Lexan—, the preferred material in slot racing due to its extraordinary balance of lightness and impact resistance. Designed for direct compatibility with the universal rail system (Ninco, Scalextric), it fits seamlessly into standard club and championship setups.
Features and Highlights
- Lexan Material (polycarbonate): flexibility against impacts, shape recovery, and significantly reduced weight compared to resin or ABS plastic bodies.
- Compatibility: designed for chassis compatible with Ninco, the universal rail system.
- Raw Finish: delivered unpainted, ready for the driver to decorate as desired with an airbrush, Vallejo, Tamiya, Kaleido or Ammo paints, and custom decals.
- Rally Profile: replica of the Peugeot 307 WRC, with a recognisable and proportionate silhouette for the standard scale of competitive slot racing.
Scale and Detail Level
The body shell reproduces the silhouette of the 307 WRC with the fidelity expected from a piece designed for both track use and the hobby of decoration. Arriving in clear Lexan, each enthusiast can choose their desired colour scheme and level of detail: from a historic championship livery to a custom team decoration.
On-Track Performance
Lexan reduces weight in the upper part of the car, which directly impacts cornering stability. Unlike rigid ABS, it better absorbs contacts and off-track excursions without cracking, extending the lifespan of the body shell even in intense competition sessions.
Ideal for…
- Club drivers competing in categories with free body shells or in specific rally classes.
- Hobbyists who enjoy decorating and personalising their slot cars.
- Preparers looking to reduce the total weight of the setup to improve on-track performance.
Considerations
As this is an unpainted Lexan body shell, it requires specific polycarbonate paint applied from the inside of the piece, a common technique in competitive slot racing. Acrylic paints for Lexan from brands like Tamiya (PS series) provide excellent results. Check your championship regulations to ensure the body shell is homologated in your category before the first race.
Frequently Asked Questions
What chassis is this body compatible with?
It is designed to be compatible with Ninco chassis and, in general, with universal rail chassis. Always check the anchoring measurements of your specific chassis before assembly.
How do you paint a Lexan body shell?
The correct technique is to paint from the inside of the body shell using specific polycarbonate paints. They are applied in thin layers, respecting drying times, and the finish is protected by the Lexan itself. Brands like Tamiya have specific ranges for this material.
Does the body come with mounts, posts, or screws?
The available information does not specify whether additional fastening elements are included. We recommend checking directly with our team before placing your order.
Is it valid for official competition?
It depends on the regulations of each championship or club. Consult with your league organiser to verify the homologation before using it in a race.
Can I use it on Scalextric tracks?
The declared compatibility is with Ninco (universal rail). Since Scalextric also uses universal rail, it may be compatible in terms of the rail, but the adaptation to the chassis will depend on the specific model you use.
