Lexan speed Huracan (comp. Siwys)

Lexan Body Mustang Velocidad Huracan, compatible with Siwys

Lexan is the star material when it comes to winning on track without sacrificing visual presence. This Velocidad Huracan body from Mustang, reference M-L03V, is made from Lexan polycarbonate: a high-strength, extremely lightweight plastic that absorbs impacts without deforming and withstands intense running sessions without losing its shape. If you compete regularly or simply want to maximise the potential of your setup, a Lexan body makes a difference compared to a standard one.

Main Features

• Lexan Material (polycarbonate): lighter and stronger than conventional ABS, it favours better weight distribution and less inertia in corners.
• Velocidad Huracan Design: silhouette inspired by the Lamborghini Huracán, with aerodynamic lines that combine competition and aesthetics.
• Compatible with Siwys chassis: specifically designed to fit with Siwys chassis, simplifying assembly and ensuring a precise fit.
• Reference M-L03V: direct identification for replacement or inquiry at any point of sale.
• Manufacturer: Mustang, a reference brand in accessories and bodies for competition slot cars.

On-Track Performance

Lexan responds notably differently to ABS as the car starts moving at competitive speeds. By reducing the unsprung mass at the top of the chassis, the centre of gravity lowers and the car gains stability in fast corners. Additionally, polycarbonate does not shatter upon spinning out or hitting the barrier: it bends slightly and recovers its position, extending the lifespan of the body even in club sessions with multiple drivers on track.

To achieve the best performance, it is recommended to paint the body from the inside (a common technique in the hobby) using paints compatible with Lexan, such as those from the specific Tamiya range for polycarbonate or equivalent formulations from Kaleido. This preserves the exterior surface intact and prolongs the finish's durability.

Assembly and Preparation

The fit on Siwys chassis is factory-designed, so no structural modification should be required. Nevertheless, it is always advisable to check the clearance between the body and chassis before securing it, and to ensure that the mounts do not create tensions that could affect the geometry of the assembly. A clean and well-leveled assembly directly impacts the stability of the car during the race.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers looking to reduce the weight of their setup without sacrificing a polished aesthetic.
• Tuners working with Siwys chassis who need a reliable replacement or spare body.
• Enthusiasts wanting to start personalising with Lexan before moving on to more elaborate options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it necessary to paint the body before using it on track?

It is not strictly mandatory, but highly recommended. Unpainted clear Lexan is perfectly functional, but interior paint protects the material from UV light and solvents, as well as personalising the car. Always use paints formulated for polycarbonate.

Which chassis is this Lexan compatible with?

According to the manufacturer's information, this M-L03V body is designed to be compatible with Siwys chassis. For any questions about other platforms, please contact our team before proceeding with the assembly.

Can Lexan be easily cut or modified?

Yes. Lexan polycarbonate can be worked with modelling scissors, a dremel, or a precision cutter. It is a user-friendly material for those wanting to adjust the body to their needs or personalise it with additional cutouts.

What real advantage does Lexan offer over an ABS body in competition?

Basically two: lower weight (which improves acceleration and corner response) and greater impact resistance (which reduces breakages in case of an accident). In club competition, where incidents are frequent, Lexan more than justifies its cost.

Can I use this body in universal rail and Sport rail categories?

The compatibility of the body depends on the chassis it is mounted on, not the type of rail. Since it is designed for Siwys chassis, its use in either track system will be determined by how that chassis is configured.
