Lexan cockpit Formula 1 22

The cockpit that your NSR Formula 1 22 needs to be complete

The Lexan Formula 1 22 Cockpit (reference NSR1551) is the interior piece designed specifically for the NSR Formula 1 22 model. Made from lexan, the benchmark polycarbonate in the slot world for its lightness and strength, this piece faithfully reproduces the interior of the single-seater while maintaining the visual appearance of the car without adding unnecessary grams.

Main features

• Material: lexan (polycarbonate), lightweight and impact-resistant.
• Compatibility: exclusive to the NSR Formula 1 22.
• Official reference: NSR1551.
• Direct fit onto the body without modifications.
• Finish ready for painting or to be left as is according to the preparer's preferences.

Function and performance

In competitive slot racing, every gram matters. Lexan is precisely the material chosen by the most demanding preparers for parts that must be present without penalising the dynamic behaviour of the car. This cockpit serves that purpose: it provides visual presence to the interior of the single-seater while not compromising the balance or total weight of the assembly.

Moreover, as an official NSR piece, the fit with the Formula 1 22 body is exact, avoiding play that could generate vibrations or unwanted noise during the race.

Compatibilities

This piece is designed exclusively for the NSR Formula 1 22. If you have doubts about whether it fits your specific body, consult reference NSR1551 with the Ministry of Hobby team before placing your order.

Assembly and preparation

The assembly is straightforward: the piece is placed in its position within the body following the anchoring points specific to the Formula 1 22. If you want to paint it before assembly, lexan can be painted with specific polycarbonate paint (apply it on the inner side to protect the finish). Brands like Tamiya or Vallejo offer formulations compatible with this material.

Ideal for…

• Owners of the NSR Formula 1 22 who want to replace or upgrade the cockpit.
• Preparers looking to maintain the original aesthetics of the single-seater.
• Enthusiasts who want to customise the interior with their own layer of paint.
