Ford P68 Medium Black chassis

The chassis that keeps the NSR Ford P68 alive on track

The Ford P68 Medium Black Chassis (ref. NSR1351) is the official NSR replacement designed specifically for the Ford P68 in its Medium chassis version. If your body shell is immaculate but the chassis has suffered the daily knocks on the circuit, this component will restore the car to its original state without the need to purchase a complete model.

Function and performance

The chassis is the backbone of any slot car: it determines structural rigidity, weight distribution, axle geometry, and consequently, overall behaviour in corners and straights. NSR manufactures its chassis with very tight tolerances to ensure that each component fits precisely and that the result on track is predictable and consistent.

The designation Medium refers to the degree of flexibility of the chassis: an intermediate rigidity that offers a good balance between stability and the ability to adapt to track irregularities. The Black finish indicates the colour of the material, common in NSR chassis references intended for competitive use or direct replacement.

Compatibility

This chassis is designed exclusively for the NSR Ford P68. Before making the change, verify that your model corresponds to the Medium chassis and not to another version (Soft or Hard), as NSR offers different rigidities to suit various driving styles and track types.

Assembly and preparation

As it is an original replacement, the assembly is straightforward: the mounts, motor position, and body shell support points are identical to those of the standard chassis. No additional modifications are required for standard use, although more demanding enthusiasts may use it as a base for a more refined setup: height adjustment, guide selection, braid choice, and tyre tuning.

• Medium version: intermediate rigidity for balance between stability and adaptability
• Black finish
• Direct fit assembly without modifications
• Reference: NSR1351

Common mistakes

The most common mistake is confusing the rigidity versions. NSR markets the Ford P68 chassis in various durometers (Soft, Medium, Hard), and each has a different behaviour on track. If you are looking to replicate the original behaviour of your car, make sure to select the Medium version (NSR1351). If you are looking to experiment with tuning, consider comparing the different options before deciding.

Frequently asked questions

Is this chassis compatible with other NSR bodies?

No. The NSR1351 is specifically designed for the NSR Ford P68. The geometry of mounts and dimensions may not be compatible with other bodies in the brand's catalogue.

What is the difference between the NSR Soft, Medium, and Hard chassis?

The difference lies in the rigidity of the material. A Soft chassis better absorbs track irregularities and can enhance traction on technical circuits. The Hard offers greater stability at high speeds. The Medium is the intermediate option and the most versatile for most circuits and driving styles.

Do I need special tools for assembly?

No special tools are required. With basic slot preparation tools (precision screwdrivers, small Allen keys), assembly is accessible for any enthusiast with basic experience in maintaining their cars.

Can I use this chassis as a base for competition?

Yes. As an official NSR component, it meets standard specifications and can be used in competition in categories that allow the NSR Ford P68. Check your local championship regulations to confirm if chassis substitutions are permitted.

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

No. The NSR1351 is only the chassis. The other components (motor, guide, braids, tyres) are not included and must be purchased separately if needed.
