Evo Chassis Ford P68 Hard White

The NSR Evo chassis for the Ford P68: rigidity and precision in a single piece

The Evo Hard White Chassis Ford P68 (NSR1432) is the official spare part from NSR for the legendary Ford P68, designed within the Evo chassis family of the Italian brand. Its designation hard indicates greater rigidity compared to the standard versions, resulting in more predictable behaviour and a more direct load transfer in corners.

Function and performance

The chassis is the mechanical soul of any slot car. It determines how weight is distributed, how the suspensions work, and how precisely the vehicle responds to directional changes. In the case of the Ford P68, a low-profile car with an unmistakable silhouette from the 60s, NSR has developed this Evo platform to maximise stability without sacrificing agility.

• Hard version: greater structural rigidity, ideal for technical circuits with many fast corners or for drivers who prefer a more direct response.
• White colour: facilitates visual identification and allows for a quick check of the part's condition at a glance.
• Manufactured by NSR, a benchmark in the slot world for the quality and tolerances of its components.

Compatibility

This chassis is specifically designed for the NSR Ford P68. Before making any replacement, it is advisable to verify that the version of the car is compatible with the Evo chassis, as NSR has updated its platform over time. If in doubt, check your car's reference or contact our team.

Assembly and preparation

Replacing the chassis is a common operation in the preparation of competition slot cars. When working with a new chassis, it is recommended to:

1. Check that all anchors and support points fit correctly before closing the assembly.
2. Verify the clearance of the guide and braids once the new chassis is mounted.
3. Check the alignment of the rear axle and crown gear to avoid unnecessary rubbing.
4. Run a few laps at moderate speed before demanding maximum performance.

When to opt for the hard version?

The choice between a soft chassis and a hard one largely depends on the circuit and driving style. The hard version like this NSR1432 adapts particularly well to:

• Circuits with very smooth or high-grip surfaces.
• Drivers seeking more security in braking and greater consistency in lap times.
• Competition setups where stability takes precedence over seeking tenths in corners.

Frequently asked questions

Is this chassis compatible with all NSR Ford P68s?

It is designed for the NSR Ford P68, but it is advisable to verify compatibility with your specific car version, as NSR has updated its range of chassis over time. Check your model's reference if in doubt.

What is the difference between the hard and soft chassis?

The hard chassis offers greater structural rigidity, providing a more direct and predictable response. The soft chassis absorbs track irregularities better and can provide more traction in slow corners. The choice depends on the circuit and driving style.

Can I use this chassis on a Scalextric or Ninco track?

Compatibility with the track depends on the guide and braids installed in the car, not the chassis itself. The chassis determines the mechanical structure; adaptation to the type of track is managed with the appropriate guide.

Is it a spare part or does it come in a construction kit?

It is an individual spare part, designed to replace the original chassis or for specific competition preparations.

Do I need special tools for assembly?

The assembly does not require specialized tools, although having a precision screwdriver and a caliper makes the task easier and ensures a correct fit of all components.

The NSR1432 is the Evo Hard White chassis for the NSR Ford P68 slot car, offering increased structural rigidity for more precise and consistent lap times. A key spare part for slot car racing enthusiasts looking to tune their setup, compatible with NSR Ford P68 bodies. Ideal for club racing and competition preparation on 1:32 scale slot car tracks.
