Lexan speed P.9x8 LMH (comp. Scaleauto)

Lexan Body P.9x8 LMH compatible with Scaleauto: lightweight and performance in one piece

The Lexan Velocidad P.9x8 LMH (M-L12V) from Mustang is a clear polycarbonate body designed for those who want to maximise the potential of their slot car setup. The LMH (Le Mans Hypercar) silhouette provides a modern and recognisable aerodynamic profile, while the Lexan material ensures superior flexibility and impact resistance compared to standard plastic bodies.

Main features

• Material: Clear Lexan (polycarbonate), ready to paint from the inside.
• Silhouette: LMH (Le Mans Hypercar), with contemporary lines and aerodynamic profile.
• Scale: P.9x8, designed to fit Scaleauto chassis compatible with this measurement.
• Reference: M-L12V.
• Declared compatibility: Scaleauto chassis.

Function and performance

Lexan is the reference material for slot racing bodies for two fundamental reasons: its lightweight compared to conventional polycarbonate and its ability to absorb impacts without breaking. This allows for more confident racing on track, reduces the overall centre of gravity, and fine-tunes the car's balance without sacrificing durability.

The paint is applied to the inside of the body, protected by the Lexan itself, resulting in a glossy finish that is resistant to scratches without the need for additional varnish. The process is reversed compared to a normal body: first the details and highlights, then the background colours.

Compatibility and assembly

This body is designed to be compatible with Scaleauto chassis. Before assembly, it is advisable to check that the mounting points and wheelbase of the specific chassis you are going to use fit correctly with the dimensions of the piece, as there are different configurations within the Scaleauto range.

For cutting and adjusting the body, it is recommended to use Lexan scissors or a precision cutter, working carefully to achieve a clean edge. The assembly of add-ons, mirrors, and spoilers—if desired—can be done with specific adhesive for polycarbonate.

Preparation and painting

As this is a clear body, the painting process is one of the most interesting aspects. With specific paints for Lexan—or high-adhesion acrylics like those from Vallejo or Tamiya formulated for this surface—competition finishes or custom decorations can be achieved that rival any catalogue car.

• Thoroughly clean the interior surface with isopropyl alcohol before painting.
• Apply the lighter colours or highlights first, and finish with the dark background colour.
• Allow to dry completely before handling or assembling.

Ideal for…

This body is particularly well-suited for enthusiasts who enjoy building and customising: those who construct their own slot car from the chassis, prepare single-seaters or GTs for club competition, or simply want to showcase a unique decoration on track. The LMH silhouette makes it especially attractive for those closely following the latest in endurance motorsport.

Frequently asked questions

Is this body compatible with all Scaleauto chassis?

It is declared compatible with Scaleauto chassis, but there are different configurations within the range. We recommend checking the wheelbase and mounting points of your specific chassis before assembly.

Do I need special paint for Lexan?

There are paints specifically formulated for polycarbonate (Lexan), but high-adhesion acrylics like those from Vallejo or Tamiya applied to the inside also work well. The key is to clean the surface thoroughly before painting and apply in thin layers.

Does the body come pre-cut or does it need to be cut?

Lexan bodies usually require trimming and adjustment by the user. Use Lexan scissors or a precision cutter to achieve a clean, crack-free edge.

What advantage does Lexan have over a conventional plastic body?

Lexan is lighter, more flexible, and absorbs impacts better. This translates to a lower overall weight of the car, improved dynamic behaviour, and greater resistance to impacts on track.

Can it be used on universal track (Scalextric, Ninco) or only on Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it)?

The body itself is not tied to a specific type of track, but to the chassis you use. If you mount this body on a chassis prepared for universal track, you will be able to use it on that type of track.
