Ford MK IV medium chassis

The medium chassis of the NSR Ford MK IV: competition geometry in every millimetre

The Ford MK IV medium chassis (NSR1322) is one of the reference pieces in NSR's catalogue for those looking to take their setup a step further. NSR is known in the slot racing world for the precision in moulding its chassis and for the consistency between units, something that makes a difference when the stopwatch decides who wins.

Main features

• Medium version: designed to offer an intermediate flex point, seeking grip without sacrificing stability under braking and in fast corners.
• Specific for the NSR Ford MK IV: fits directly into the official body of the brand without the need for additional modifications.
• Manufactured from high-precision engineering plastic: NSR's moulding guarantees tight tolerances, essential for the transmission and rolling assembly to work with minimal play.
• Reference NSR1322: unique identification to avoid confusion with the soft or hard versions of the same model.

Function and performance

In competitive slot racing, the chassis is not just a simple support: it is the element that defines how the car transmits the irregularities of the track, how it loads the tyres in corners, and how it responds to changes in height between lanes. The medium version of the Ford MK IV is designed for varied layouts, where slow corners, chicanes, and demanding braking straights alternate. It is the usual choice of club drivers looking for a versatile setup before deciding whether to fine-tune towards soft or hard depending on the track conditions of the day.

Its geometry respects the characteristic weight distribution of the NSR Ford MK IV, allowing the guide, braids, and motor-transmission assembly to integrate without unwanted tensions.

Compatibility and assembly

This chassis is specifically designed for the NSR Ford MK IV body. Before acquiring any additional spare parts (axles, crown gears, pinions, mounts), always verify that they correspond to the same scale and motor configuration of the car you are going to mount it on. NSR offers a wide and well-documented spare parts catalogue, making progressive preparation easier without having to change the entire assembly.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers competing in categories with the NSR Ford MK IV who need a spare chassis or want to experiment with different hardness levels.
• Preparers building multiple setups to adapt to different tracks or weather conditions.
• Enthusiasts looking to start preparing chassis without jumping directly to extreme versions (soft/hard).

Aspects to consider

The medium hardness is neither better nor worse than the soft or hard: it is different. The suitable chassis depends on the layout, track grip, tyre type, and driving style. If you have doubts about which version best suits your case, consult us before ordering: we are happy to guide you.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the medium, soft, and hard chassis of the NSR Ford MK IV?

The difference lies in the degree of flex of the plastic. The soft allows more torsion and favours grip on tracks with high adhesion. The hard is stiffer and more stable at high speeds. The medium offers a compromise between both, being the most versatile starting point for most conditions.

Is this chassis compatible with other NSR bodies?

No, it is specifically designed for the NSR Ford MK IV body. Using a chassis from another model may lead to incompatibilities in the anchoring points, guide, or mechanical positioning.

Can I mount an anglewinder motor on this chassis?

It depends on the motor mount or support you use. The chassis itself does not determine the motor configuration, but it must be compatible with the chosen mount. Consult the NSR catalogue to ensure that the accessories you choose are suitable for this specific chassis.

Is the chassis sold alone or does it include any additional components?

The NSR1322 is the chassis only. It does not include a motor, axles, crown gears, pinions, or any other mechanical components. Each element is purchased separately, allowing you to customise the setup to your preference.

Is it suitable for official competition?

That depends on the regulations of the championship or category in which you participate. We recommend checking your league's rules before mounting any spare parts to ensure they meet the category requirements.

The NSR1322 medium chassis for the Ford MK IV is a precision slot car component engineered for competitive and club racing. Designed specifically for NSR's Ford MK IV body, this medium-flex chassis delivers a balanced setup suitable for a wide range of track conditions. Ideal for slot car enthusiasts, club racers, and builders looking for reliable NSR spare parts with consistent tolerances and competitive performance.
