Lexan speed P963 compatible with Scaleauto

Mustang P963 Lexan Body: Polycarbonate, Lightweight and Compatibility with Scaleauto

The reference M-L06V is the Lexan body from the speed line of Mustang featuring the silhouette of the Porsche 963, designed to mount directly onto Scaleauto chassis. Made from polycarbonate (Lexan), it offers significantly higher impact resistance compared to resin or injected plastic bodies, while also reducing the overall weight of the assembly, a key factor in competition.

Main Features

• Material: polycarbonate (Lexan), flexible and impact-resistant.
• Silhouette: Porsche 963, with lines true to the competition prototype.
• Speed line: optimised version of Mustang designed for track performance.
• Compatibility: adapted to Scaleauto chassis (Sport rail).
• Finish: transparent, ready to be painted from the inside with specific Lexan paints.

Assembly and Preparation

Lexan bodies are always painted from the inside to protect the finish and achieve that characteristic depth effect. It is advisable to use paints specifically formulated for polycarbonate, as conventional lacquers can crack the material over time. Before painting, clean the interior surface with a soft cloth and degreaser to remove any residue of release agent or dust. Once the paint is dry, carefully cut out the windows following the cut marks to further lighten the assembly.

The fit onto the Scaleauto chassis is direct, although it is always advisable to check the height and position of the mounts before the first track session to ensure that the body does not rub against the guide or the tyres in corners.

Track Performance

The lightweight nature of Lexan compared to other materials translates into a lower centre of gravity and reduced total mass, which enhances cornering stability and reaction times in acceleration and braking. On the Sport rail, where the precision of Scaleauto chassis is a differentiating factor, a well-fitted and lightweight body further enhances that performance.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers competing on Sport rail tracks looking to reduce their car's weight.
• Enthusiasts who enjoy customising and painting their bodies from scratch.
• Collectors interested in the silhouette of the Porsche 963 in competition slot format.

Considerations

• The body is delivered unpainted and undecorated: the final finish depends on the work of the enthusiast.
• Compatible with Scaleauto chassis; verify the exact version of your chassis before assembly.
• Only use paints suitable for polycarbonate to avoid damage to the material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the speed line and other lines of Lexan bodies from Mustang?

The speed line from Mustang is specifically oriented towards track performance: they tend to feature tighter geometries and a more aerodynamic profile compared to collection or detail versions. If your priority is to compete, this is the right choice.

Can I use Vallejo or Tamiya paints to paint this body?

You must use paints formulated for polycarbonate. Brands like Tamiya have specific references for Lexan (PS series). Conventional acrylic paints from Vallejo or Tamiya for standard plastic are not recommended on polycarbonate, as they may crack or not adhere properly.

Is it compatible with Scalextric or Ninco track?

The body itself is compatible with the Scaleauto chassis, which uses Sport rail (Scaleauto, Slot.it). If you have a track with universal rail (Scalextric, Ninco), you would need a chassis adapted to that rail; the body itself does not change.

Does the body include decals or decoration?

No. It is supplied transparent and undecorated. Complete customisation — painting, decals, and finishes — is the responsibility of the enthusiast, making it an ideal canvas for those who enjoy the preparation process.

Do I need special tools to cut it?

Fine-tipped scissors or a craft knife with a new blade are sufficient for most cuts. For very fine detail areas, a curved modelling scissors makes the job easier and reduces the risk of cracking the material.

The Mustang M-L06V Lexan body features the Porsche 963 silhouette in a speed-optimised version, fully compatible with Scaleauto chassis on Sport-rail tracks. Lightweight polycarbonate construction reduces overall car weight for better lap times and cornering stability. Delivered unpainted and ready to customise — an ideal choice for slot car racers and modellers looking for a competitive edge on Sport-lane circuits.
