Ford GT40 Hard White chassis

The chassis your NSR Ford GT40 needs to perform at its best

The NSR1370 is the official replacement chassis in Hard White version designed by NSR for its Ford GT40. If your original chassis has been damaged, you are looking for a version with greater rigidity for fast tracks, or you simply want to have a second chassis ready to assemble with a different motor or transmission configuration, this is the part you need.

Main features

• Hard version: the Hard White compound offers greater structural rigidity compared to more flexible versions, resulting in a more direct and predictable response on track, especially on fast circuits with few chicanes.
• Direct compatibility: specifically designed for the NSR Ford GT40 model, it guarantees a perfect fit with all original series elements: motor pod, guide, braids, axle and body.
• NSR manufacturing: NSR is one of the benchmark brands in the slot world for the precision of its components and the availability of spare parts. This chassis is no exception.
• Preparation base: an ideal starting point to build a competition version from scratch, allowing you to choose your own motor, crown gear, pinion and tyres.

Hard vs. Soft: which version to choose?

NSR offers its chassis in different degrees of rigidity. The Hard version is designed for smooth, fast tracks with high grip, where precision and consistency are sought over the ability to absorb irregularities. If your circuit is more technical or the track has some flex, a more flexible version may suit you better. On well-established competition tracks, the Hard is usually the preferred choice among preparers.

Assembly and preparation

As a raw replacement chassis, assembly requires installing the usual components: guide, braids, motor pod, rear axle, wheels and body. All these elements are compatible with the standard spares of the NSR Ford GT40, making the process straightforward if you already have experience in slot car preparation.

We recommend checking the fit of the motor pod and the axle clearance before the first run, and ensuring that the guide is well seated without excessive lateral play. A new chassis may require a slight adjustment in the tension of the braids to ensure optimal contact with the track.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers who need a quick replacement chassis after an accident on track.
• Preparers who want to build an alternative version of the GT40 with a different motor or transmission configuration.
• Enthusiasts who wish to start in slot car preparation with a solid base from a recognised brand.

Frequently asked questions

Is this chassis compatible with all NSR Ford GT40 models?

It is specifically designed for the NSR Ford GT40. We recommend checking with your car's reference that the chassis version matches your model's generation, as NSR may update its platforms over time.

Does the chassis come with any components included?

The NSR1370 is the raw chassis, without additional components. You will need to install the guide, braids, motor pod, motor, axle and wheels separately.

What is the difference between the Hard and Soft chassis in terms of behaviour?

The Hard offers greater rigidity, providing more precise steering and reducing chassis flex in fast corners. The Soft, on the other hand, better absorbs track irregularities and may provide more grip on circuits with less adhesion or more surface variations.

Is it suitable for official competition?

Yes, being an original NSR component, it meets the requirements of championships that allow the use of the brand's own spare parts. Always check your club or championship regulations before preparing the car.

What type of motor is it compatible with?

The chassis maintains the original configuration of the NSR Ford GT40. To know the compatible motorisation options (type of motor pod, motor dimensions), consult the NSR spare parts catalogue or contact us.
