Working with a Lexan Body Shell

Lexan is the standard material in competition slot racing due to its mechanical properties: it absorbs impacts without breaking, weighs very little, and accepts paint applied from the inside perfectly, a common technique among preparers. To achieve a professional finish, it is usual to thoroughly clean the interior surface, apply the necessary decals or masks, and paint with an airbrush from the inside out. Brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido offer paints that are perfectly compatible with this material.

Trimming is done with a cutter or fine-tipped scissors following the manufacturer's guides, and the final adjustment to the chassis is refined with fine sandpaper to achieve a clean fit without play that could penalise aerodynamics.

Compatibility and Assembly

This body shell is designed for chassis of the universal track system, the same used by Scalextric and Ninco. If you have doubts about the exact compatibility with your specific chassis, we recommend checking it before starting the trimming work.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts who enjoy preparing and customising their cars from scratch.
• Club competitors looking for a lightweight body with the aesthetics of the Ford Puma rally.
• Custom livery projects or replicas of real rally teams.
• Anyone looking to refresh a Scalextric chassis with a completely different look.

Things to Consider

The body shell is delivered unpainted and untrimmed. It does not include chassis, guide, braids, or any other components. The preparation work is part of the experience and is part of the charm of these types of pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this body shell come painted from the factory?

No. It is delivered in clear Lexan, unpainted and untrimmed. The decoration and final finish are up to you, giving you complete freedom to customise it.

What paints can I use on Lexan?

Is it suitable for club competition?
