Lexan Body Porsche 914 by Mustang: the classic German ready for the track

The Porsche 914 is one of those cars that never go out of style among slot racing enthusiasts. This Lexan body, manufactured by Mustang under the reference M-L0059V, reproduces its characteristic lines with the lightness and flexibility inherent to polycarbonate, the material of choice for those seeking real performance on the track.

Features and Highlights

• Lexan (polycarbonate) material: raw body, unpainted, ready to be decorated to your liking with specific Lexan paints.
• Compatibility: designed to be compatible with SRC chassis, facilitating direct assembly without complex modifications.
• Porsche 914 silhouette: faithfully reproduces the shapes of the German-American sports car from the 1970s, very popular in historic silhouette slot categories.
• Manufacturer Mustang: a company specialized in Lexan bodies for the slot racing world.

Scale and Level of Detail

The body is designed for competitive use, where the balance between scale fidelity and lightness is key. Lexan allows for impact absorption without breaking, an obvious advantage in intense race sessions or club circuits. Arriving unpainted, each driver can customize it with the livery they desire, adhering to the regulations of their category or simply unleashing their creativity.

Track Performance

Lexan bodies reduce the total weight of the assembly compared to ABS or resin bodies, resulting in a more agile response in corners and less inertia in direction changes. Mounted on a well-tuned SRC chassis, this Porsche 914 body can become a very competitive option in historic silhouette categories or club runs.

Assembly and Preparation

As this is a raw Lexan body, it is advisable to clean it with isopropyl alcohol before painting to remove any mould residue. Use specific paints for polycarbonate —always applied from the inside of the body— to achieve a durable finish with good adhesion. Brands like Tamiya or Vallejo offer suitable ranges for this material. Check the fit on the SRC chassis before painting and make any necessary cuts with a craft knife or fine-tipped scissors.

Ideal for…

• Drivers competing in historic silhouette categories based on SRC.
• Enthusiasts who enjoy preparing and painting their own bodies.
• Collectors of the Porsche 914 who want a faithful and lightweight slot version.
