Lexan speed Porsche 911 (2) compatible with Scaleauto

Lexan Body Shell for Porsche 911 (2) for Scaleauto, by Mustang

The reference M-L10V from Mustang is a body shell made from Lexan —high-strength polycarbonate— featuring the unmistakable silhouette of the Porsche 911 (2), specifically designed to be compatible with Scaleauto chassis. This piece is aimed at enthusiasts who want to take their slot car preparation a step further and take advantage of the benefits of Lexan over standard ABS bodies.

Why choose a Lexan body shell?

Lexan is the material of choice in slot racing when the goal is to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. Being lighter than ABS and considerably more flexible, it absorbs impacts better —especially in corners or when leaving the track— and allows for greater freedom in aerodynamics. Additionally, as it comes unpainted, each racer can customise it to their liking with paints suitable for polycarbonate, such as those from the specific ranges of Tamiya or Vallejo RC.

Compatibility and assembly

This body shell is designed to be mounted on Scaleauto chassis, one of the reference systems in the Sport rail (shared with Slot.it). Before making any adjustments, it is advisable to check the anchors and possible fixing points to ensure that the fit is correct with your specific chassis. Lexan allows for clean cuts with scissors or a craft knife, making it easy to adapt wheel arches or guide supports if the preparation requires it.

Painting and decoration

As this is an unpainted body shell, you have complete freedom to apply the livery of your choice. Remember that Lexan is always painted from the inside, starting with the lighter colours and finishing with the background. Specific paints for polycarbonate from Tamiya (PS range) or Kaleido adhere perfectly and offer very durable glossy finishes. You can complete the decoration with scale decals before applying the background.

Ideal for…

• Racers competing in Lexan body shell categories in their club or championship.
• Preparers looking to reduce the total weight of the car to improve cornering response.
• Enthusiasts who enjoy customising the livery of their cars with complete creative freedom.
• Users of Scaleauto chassis who want to renew or change the body shell of their Porsche 911.

Considerations

• The body shell is supplied unpainted and undecorated.
• It may require cutting or adaptation adjustments depending on the specific Scaleauto chassis.
• Always use specific paints for polycarbonate to ensure adhesion.
• Always paint from the inside to achieve the best finishing results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this body shell come painted or ready to race?

No. The M-L10V body shell is supplied in clear unpainted Lexan. You will need to prepare and decorate it yourself, which is part of the appeal of this type of piece.

What paints are compatible with Lexan?

Paints specifically formulated for polycarbonate, such as Tamiya's PS range or Kaleido RC paints, are the most recommended. Avoid paints for ABS plastic, as they do not adhere properly to Lexan.

Where do you paint Lexan?

Always from the inside of the body shell. Start with the lighter colours or details and finish with the background colour, which acts as a sealing and protective layer.

Is it compatible with all Scaleauto chassis?

It is designed to be compatible with Scaleauto chassis, but since there are different sizes and configurations within the range, we recommend checking the anchoring dimensions before final assembly.

Can I use it on universal track systems like Scalextric or Ninco?

The compatibility of the body shell itself does not depend on the type of track, but on the chassis it is mounted on. If you mount the Scaleauto chassis on a Sport track, the body shell will work without issue.

Is Lexan more fragile than ABS?

On the contrary: Lexan (polycarbonate) is more flexible and impact-resistant than ABS, making it better able to withstand the usual impacts in competition. Its main competitive advantage is also its lower weight.
