Lotus 72 chassis

The original Policar chassis for the iconic Lotus 72, available as an independent spare part

Under the reference PO-PCS02T, Policar —a brand integrated into the Slot.it universe— offers enthusiasts the specific chassis for its replica of the Lotus 72. Having the correct chassis is not a minor detail: it is the backbone of the car, the piece that determines the geometry of the entire mechanics, the position of the motor, the axle travel, and the final behaviour on track.

Function and role in the car assembly

The chassis is the structural element on which the rest of the components are mounted or anchored: motor, axles, wheels, guide, and braid. When a chassis suffers damage from an accident on track, forced disassembly, or simply from accumulated wear after many running sessions, replacing it with the original part is the only way to ensure that the car recovers exactly the dimensions and design rigidity with which it was conceived.

As it is a chassis from the same brand, compatibility with all original elements of the Policar Lotus 72 is guaranteed without the need for additional adjustments.

Compatibility and assembly

This chassis is designed exclusively for the Policar Lotus 72 (Slot.it). If you have doubts about whether it corresponds exactly to your version of the model, we recommend checking the reference PO-PCS02T against the original chassis of your car before placing the order.

The assembly follows the usual process for Policar/Slot.it cars: once the body is removed, the chassis can be replaced by transferring the mechanical components in an orderly manner. It is an operation within the reach of any enthusiast with some experience in slot car maintenance.

Why opt for the original spare part?

• Guarantee of a perfect fit with the car's original components.
• No need for modifications or adaptations.
• Maintains the geometry and track behaviour that Policar designed for the Lotus 72.
• Extends the lifespan of a model that is difficult to replace in the market.

Frequently asked questions

Which models is this chassis compatible with?

This chassis is specifically designed for the Policar Lotus 72 (Slot.it). Its use is not intended for other models from the brand or cars from third-party manufacturers.

Can I reuse the motor and axles from my damaged original chassis?

In principle, yes: as it is an original replacement, the housing dimensions are identical. We recommend checking the condition of each component before assembly and taking the opportunity to clean and lubricate the mechanical parts.

Can it be used on SPORT track and also on universal track?

The Policar Lotus 72 (Slot.it) is prepared for SPORT track (compatible with Scaleauto and Slot.it tracks). The guide can be swapped for other compatible ones if you wish to adapt it to other systems like Scalextric or Ninco, although this depends on the guide and braid configuration you choose.

Is it a regular stock product or of limited availability?

Policar/Slot.it spare parts are usually available while the model is in production or in the active catalogue. We recommend not waiting if you need it, as the availability of specific spare parts may vary.
