SRC compatible Toyota Lexan speed

Lexan Speed Body Toyota Compatible with SRC — Reference M-L07V from Mustang

The Lexan Speed Toyota M-L07V from Mustang is a body shell made from Lexan —the benchmark polycarbonate in competition— that reproduces the silhouette of the Toyota speed car and is designed to fit onto chassis compatible with the SRC system. A combination that is particularly attractive for slot car enthusiasts looking to refresh the appearance of their car without excessive investment.

Features and Highlights

• Lexan Material: thermoformed polycarbonate is the preferred option in competition due to its low weight and high impact resistance compared to conventional injected plastic bodies.
• Toyota Speed Silhouette: recognisable, aerodynamic profile true to the competition body it represents.
• SRC Compatibility: designed to fit the SRC chassis mounting system and dimensions, facilitating direct assembly without complex modifications.
• Unpainted: the Lexan is delivered in its natural state, ready to be decorated on the interior side with suitable polycarbonate paints (such as those specific to Tamiya or Vallejo RC).

Track Performance

A well-fitted Lexan body reduces the total weight of the assembly, resulting in a more agile response in corners and less inertia during direction changes. On technical circuits with many chicanes or in endurance races where the wear of rigid bodies can be an issue, Lexan makes a difference. Its natural flexibility absorbs minor scrapes without permanently deforming.

Assembly and Preparation

Before painting, it is essential to clean the interior surface with isopropanol to remove any grease residue. The paint is always applied to the interior side, starting with the finer details (dashboard, windows) and finishing with the background colour. Once the paint is dry, carefully trim any excess following the marked lines. The fit on the SRC chassis should be firm but without excessive tension to prevent the body from transmitting vibrations to the rear end.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts competing with SRC chassis who want to refresh the body with a lighter option.
• Preparers who enjoy the painting and customization process of Lexan.
• Clubs that organise speed categories with regulations open to polycarbonate bodies.

Considerations

As this is an unpainted and undecorated Lexan body, the final presentation depends entirely on the user's painting work. It does not include decals or additional accessories. Always check the dimensions of your SRC chassis before assembly to ensure a proper fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SRC chassis is this body compatible with?

It is designed for the SRC system in general. We recommend verifying the dimensions of your specific chassis before assembly, as there may be variations between models within the SRC catalogue.

What paint should I use for Lexan?

Specific paints for polycarbonate (such as Tamiya's RC lines) are the most common option. You can also use acrylic paints from Vallejo with an appropriate primer. Remember to always apply from the interior side.

Is Lexan lighter than a conventional plastic body?

Generally, yes. Thermoformed polycarbonate typically weighs less than the injected plastic of a standard body, which can be an advantage in competition.

Is it pre-cut or does it need trimming?

Lexan bodies usually require final trimming by the user following the marked lines. If you have questions about the delivery state of this specific reference, please consult us before placing your order.

Can I use it in club categories?

It depends on your club's regulations. Lexan bodies are allowed in many speed or open preparation categories, but it is advisable to verify with the organisers before competing.

The Mustang M-L07V is a Lexan polycarbonate body shell compatible with SRC chassis, featuring the silhouette of a Toyota speed car. Lightweight and impact-resistant, it is the ideal choice for slot car racers looking to reduce weight and improve lap times. Unpainted and ready to customize, it pairs perfectly with RC-specific polycarbonate paints. A great option for club racing and home enthusiasts who enjoy building and painting their own slot cars.
