ASV GT3 black medium chassis

The medium chassis from NSR for the Aston Martin GT3: balance between grip and control

The medium black ASV GT3 chassis (ref. NSR1444) is the intermediate hardness option that NSR offers for its Aston Martin GT3 model. Within the colour coding used by the Italian brand to identify different degrees of flexibility, black corresponds to medium hardness, positioned between blue (soft) and hard. This complete range is also complemented by the extralight in yellow.

Function and performance

The hardness of the chassis directly influences how pressure is distributed over the tyres and, therefore, the car's behaviour on track. A medium hardness chassis like this offers:

• Greater stability on fast tracks with few chicanes.
• More predictable response to the throttle, especially useful for drivers seeking consistency in lap times.
• Versatility against extremes: not as sensitive to track irregularities as the soft chassis, but with more feedback than the hard one.

In many cases, it is the recommended starting point for adjusting the setup, as it allows for a clear evaluation of the car's response before moving towards one extreme or the other.

Compatibility

This chassis is specifically designed for the NSR Aston Martin GT3 cars. NSR maintains a very careful compatibility policy within its catalogue, so we recommend always verifying that the chassis reference exactly corresponds to the body model you have.

Assembly and preparation

Changing the chassis in NSR cars is a common operation in the slot preparation world. It allows for adapting the rigidity of the assembly to the conditions of each circuit or to the preferences of each driver without the need to modify other components. If you are new to this type of adjustment, the medium chassis is the best starting point: it provides enough margin to notice differences when comparing it to the soft or hard options.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the soft, medium, and hard chassis from NSR?

NSR uses a colour code to distinguish the hardness of its chassis: blue for soft, black for medium, and a different tone for hard. Each hardness modifies the flex of the chassis and, therefore, how the car behaves in corners and during braking. The medium is the most versatile and is often used as a reference.

How do I know which chassis hardness I need?

It depends on the type of track, the grip of the surface, and your driving style. In general, soft chassis perform better on tracks with low grip and slow corners, while hard ones are preferred on circuits with high grip and fast corners. The medium is a good starting point for any setup.

Does this chassis include a motor, guide, or braids?

No. The chassis is sold without additional components. Motor, guide, braids, and tyres are not included and must be purchased separately if replacement is necessary.

Is it compatible with bodies from other brands?

It is designed for the NSR Aston Martin GT3. Compatibility with other bodies is not verified and we do not recommend it without prior checking.

The NSR1444 is the medium-flex (black) chassis designed for the NSR Aston Martin GT3 slot car. Part of NSR's colour-coded hardness range — blue for soft, black for medium, with hard and extralight (yellow) completing the lineup — this chassis offers a balanced setup suitable for a wide variety of track conditions. Ideal for slot car racing enthusiasts looking to fine-tune their car's handling, it represents a reliable starting point for chassis tuning in 1/32 scale competition.
