McLaren 720 Medium Black Chassis

The chassis that brings your NSR McLaren 720 back to life

The Medium Black McLaren 720 Chassis (NSR1617) is the original NSR replacement designed specifically for the NSR McLaren 720 slot cars. With medium flexibility —identified by the medium black colour—, this chassis offers a balance between rigidity and adaptability to the track, suitable for both recreational use and club competition.

Function and features of the chassis

In competitive slot racing, the chassis is one of the elements that most influences the dynamic behaviour of the car. NSR identifies the stiffness of its chassis by colours, allowing the driver to select the most suitable flex according to the type of track, cornering speed, and driving style.

• Medium black: intermediate stiffness, versatile for different types of circuits.
• Specific compatibility: designed for the NSR McLaren 720.
• Manufactured by NSR: guarantees a perfect fit with the car's original components.
• Official reference: NSR1617.

When do you need to replace or change the chassis?

The chassis may need replacement for various reasons: wear after many running sessions, breakage due to an accident on the track, or simply because we want to experiment with a different stiffness to adjust the car's behaviour. Having the original NSR spare part ensures that the geometry and fit of all components remain as the brand designed them.

Assembly and preparation

The assembly of this chassis follows the standard process for NSR cars: transferring the motor, rear axle, guide, braids, and body from the original chassis. NSR is precisely one of the brands with the best range of spare parts in the slot market, making it easy to always have everything needed for tuning at hand.

Before assembly, it is advisable to check the condition of the other components —bearings, crown gears, pinions— and take the opportunity to clean and lubricate the assembly.

Ideal for…

• Club racers looking for an original replacement after a breakage.
• Enthusiasts wanting to try a different chassis stiffness in their NSR McLaren 720.
• Preparers who maintain several setups ready for different circuits.

Aspects to consider

This chassis is designed exclusively for the NSR McLaren 720 model. Before placing an order, ensure that your car corresponds to this model to guarantee total compatibility of all mounting points.

Frequently asked questions

What does "medium black" mean in NSR chassis?

NSR classifies the stiffness of its chassis by colours. Medium black indicates intermediate flexibility, a midpoint between the stiffer and more flexible chassis, suitable for a wide variety of circuits and driving styles.

Is it compatible with all NSR McLaren 720s?

It is specifically designed for the NSR McLaren 720. If you have doubts about the specific version of your car, check the reference of the original chassis before placing the order.

Do I need special tools for assembly?

No special tools are required beyond the usual ones for slot preparation: precision screwdrivers and, if necessary, NSR tools for disassembling the rear axle.

Can I use this chassis on any type of track?

The chassis itself is compatible with the track system used by the original car (universal track type Scalextric or Ninco, depending on the guide mounted). Compatibility with the track depends on the guide and installed braids, not the chassis.

Does this chassis include a motor, axle, or other components?

No. It is solely the chassis. The other components (motor, axle, guide, braids, wheels…) must be transferred from the previous chassis or purchased separately.
