R8 LMS GT3 EVO II Cockpit lexan polycarbonate

The Lexan cockpit SICS58LX from Slot.it: less weight, more performance on the track for your Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II.

When every tenth counts, the details make the difference. This cockpit made from polycarbonate (Lexan) is the plastic chassis replacement that Slot.it has developed to replace the standard interior of the Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II, providing a real weight reduction in the upper part of the car without sacrificing the visual fidelity of the model.

Function and performance

The aim of this component is straightforward: by replacing the original cockpit with one made of Lexan polycarbonate —a material significantly lighter than conventional injected plastic— the mass of the car is redistributed. Less weight in the upper area of the cockpit results in a lower centre of gravity, translating to greater stability in corners, less lateral roll, and a more predictable response at high speeds.

This is the logic applied by club preparers and the most demanding competitors: before touching the motor, guide, or braids, the first step is to eliminate unnecessary weight where it is most detrimental. The interior is, along with the body, the area furthest from the ground and, therefore, the one that raises the centre of gravity the most.

Compatibility and installation

The SICS58LX is designed exclusively for the Slot.it Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II models. The fit is direct under the original body, with no additional modifications required. If you already have the car in your collection or on the track, this replacement fits with millimetric precision, keeping the exterior appearance intact.

Common mistakes

• Confusing compatibilities: this cockpit is specific to the Slot.it Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II. It is not interchangeable with other bodies from the brand, even if they have a similar silhouette.
• Underestimating the impact of weight in the upper area: even small reductions in the cockpit have a noticeable effect on the car's dynamic behaviour, especially on technical circuits with many curves.

Ideal for…

• Club competitors looking to maximise the performance of their Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II on Sport track.
• Preparers working on low centre of gravity configurations.
• Enthusiasts wanting to explore car preparation without interfering with the mechanics.

Frequently asked questions

Which Slot.it models is the SICS58LX compatible with?

The SICS58LX is specifically developed for the Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II from Slot.it. It is not designed for other models from the brand, even if they share a platform or scale.

What real advantage does Lexan polycarbonate offer over standard plastic?

Lexan polycarbonate is significantly lighter than conventional injected plastic. By reducing the mass in the upper part of the cockpit, the car's centre of gravity lowers, improving cornering stability and overall behaviour on the track.

Does it affect the car's exterior appearance?

No. The Lexan cockpit maintains the details of the cockpit and the driver, so the car retains its original appearance once the body is mounted.

Is it a complex modification to install?

No. The fit is direct under the original body of the Slot.it Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II, with no need for special tools or additional modifications.

Is it suitable for official competition in clubs?

It depends on the club or championship regulations. In general, Lexan cockpits are widely accepted in preparation categories, but it is advisable to check the specific rules before competing.

The Slot.it SICS58LX is a lightweight Lexan polycarbonate cockpit designed for the Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II slot car. By replacing the standard injected plastic interior with a high-performance polycarbonate unit, this spare part lowers the car's centre of gravity for improved cornering stability and lap times. A direct-fit upgrade for serious club racers and performance builders running on Sport track systems. Available at Ministry of Hobby with fast international shipping.
