Scaleauto compatible C7R Lexan speed

Speed Lexan Body C7R Compatible with Scaleauto — The Foundation of Serious Preparation

The Lexan speed C7R compatible Scaleauto (M-L05V) is a polycarbonate (Lexan) body designed for competition builds on chassis compatible with the Scaleauto system. Its profile corresponds to the iconic Corvette C7R, one of the most recognisable GTs in endurance racing, and its Lexan version allows the builder to paint, trim, and adjust the body to fit the regulations of their championship or their aesthetic preferences.

Features and Highlights

• Lexan Material (Polycarbonate): extremely lightweight and flexible, it absorbs impacts better than resin or injected plastic bodies, and recovers without permanent deformation from moderate hits.
• Corvette C7R Profile: silhouette faithful to one of the most representative GTs in modern endurance motorsport.
• Mustang Reference M-L05V: manufactured under the Mustang label, a specialist in Lexan bodies for competitive slot racing.
• Compatible with Scaleauto: designed to fit sport track chassis, the standard shared by brands such as Scaleauto and Slot.it.
• Unpainted: arrives in clear polycarbonate, ready to be painted and customised with your team's colours or favourite livery.

Assembly and Preparation

As it is an unpainted Lexan body, the usual process is to paint the interior with specific polycarbonate paints (such as those from Tamiya or Kaleido, which adhere well to this surface) and then carefully trim the window and skirt lines. It is important to respect the original cutting marks and use fine-tipped scissors or a modelling knife for a clean finish.

The attachment to the chassis is done via the usual anchor points of the Scaleauto system, so no structural modifications are required. Nevertheless, it is advisable to check the lateral play and centring before finalising the preparation.

Track Performance

A well-fitted Lexan body improves the aerodynamics of the whole by reducing weight compared to more rigid alternatives, and contributes to a lower centre of gravity. On sport track, where precision in assembly makes a difference, this type of body becomes a common choice among the most demanding builders.

Ideal for…

• Club competitors looking for a lightweight and durable GT body for speed categories.
• Builders who want to fully customise the decoration with their own design.
• Enthusiasts who already have a Scaleauto chassis and want to renew or change the body without significant investment.

Considerations

The body does not include decoration or chassis parts. Compatibility is indicated for sport track builds (Scaleauto, Slot.it); for universal track (Scalextric, Ninco) it may be necessary to adapt the anchor points. If you have questions about the fit on your specific chassis, please consult us before proceeding with the final trimming.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the body come painted or decorated?

No. It is delivered in clear polycarbonate, unpainted. You decide the decoration: you can paint it from the inside with Lexan paints or apply decals once painted.

What paints work well with Lexan?

The specific polycarbonate paints from Tamiya (PS series) are the most widely used in the hobby for this material. Some formulas from Kaleido also work well. Avoid standard acrylic paints not formulated for Lexan, as they may crack over time.

Is it compatible with universal track chassis like Scalextric or Ninco?

The indicated compatibility is for sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it). For universal track, it may require adapting the anchors. We recommend checking the fit before final assembly.

What advantage does Lexan have over resin or injected plastic?

Lexan is lighter and absorbs impacts better. In minor collisions, it flexes and returns to its shape, while a resin body would tend to break. For club competition, this is a clear advantage.

Do I need special tools to trim it?

It is not essential, but it is highly recommended to use fine-tipped scissors or a modelling knife with a new blade. A clean cut improves the final appearance and avoids edges that may interfere with the chassis.
