Lexan speed Cadillac V-LMdH (comp. Scaleauto)

Competition Lexan with the silhouette of the Cadillac V-LMdH

The reference M-L13V from Mustang is a Lexan body shell —made from polycarbonate— that reproduces the silhouette of the Cadillac V-LMdH, the prototype with which Cadillac returned to the elite of endurance in the Le Mans Daytona h (LMdH) category. Specifically designed to be compatible with Scaleauto chassis, it is the natural choice for those who want to customise or replace the body of their slot car while maintaining the original aerodynamic profile.

Features and Highlights

• Lexan (polycarbonate) material: extremely lightweight and impact-resistant, making it the reference material for speed bodies in slot racing.
• Cadillac V-LMdH profile: silhouette faithful to the real prototype of the LMdH category, recognisable on circuits such as Daytona or Le Mans.
• Compatibility with Scaleauto: fit designed for the brand's own Sport lane chassis, with no need for adaptations.
• Speed version: designed for competition, where every tenth of a gram counts.

Applications and Recommended Use

This body shell is aimed at both the club racer who wants to refresh the aesthetics of their car without losing performance, and the preparer looking to reduce the weight of the upper part of the assembly. Being unpainted Lexan, it allows for custom decoration with specific polycarbonate paints —such as those from Tamiya or Kaleido— always applied from the inside to protect the finish from track wear.

Compatibility and Assembly

Designed for Scaleauto chassis in Sport lane. Before permanently fixing it, it is advisable to check the alignment on the chassis and the clearance in the guide and wheel areas. If painting is planned, it is recommended to clean the interior surface with isopropanol before applying any colour or primer layer for polycarbonate.

Considerations

The body shell is delivered unpainted and undecorated. It does not include chassis, guide, braids, or any other components. Reference images with decoration are for illustrative purposes. Always check the exact compatibility with your version of Scaleauto chassis before assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this body shell come painted or decorated?

No. It is supplied in clear Lexan without any paint or decals. Decoration is the responsibility of the user.

What paint is suitable for painting Lexan?

Specific polycarbonate paint must be used. Tamiya references for Lexan or those from Kaleido are common options among enthusiasts. The paint is always applied from the inside of the body shell to ensure the colour is protected under the polycarbonate.

Is it compatible with chassis other than Scaleauto?

It is designed for Scaleauto chassis. Compatibility with other manufacturers is not verified, so we cannot confirm it without prior testing.

Is Lexan more fragile than the original resin or hard plastic body?

On the contrary: polycarbonate is more flexible and impact-resistant than rigid plastic. It absorbs impacts better without breaking, making it highly valued in competition.

Does it include any accessories or additional parts?

No. This reference corresponds solely to the Lexan body shell. Chassis, guide, braids, motor, and tyres are not included.
