MC 720S GT3 White Flex Chassis (Blue)

The correct chassis for your Sideways McLaren 720S GT3 White Flex (Blue)

When a chassis suffers breakage, deformation, or if we simply want to start from a clean base for a more demanding setup, having the exact replacement makes all the difference. This Sideways chassis, reference SW720A1, is specifically designed for the McLaren 720S GT3 in its White Flex (Blue) livery, ensuring a perfect fit with the bodyshell and the original components of the model.

Function and features

• Official Sideways replacement: original part, not a generic adaptation, so the fit with the 720S GT3 bodyshell is as intended from the factory.
• Flexible material: the designation "Flex" indicates that the chassis is made from a plastic with a certain degree of flexibility, which aids in absorbing track irregularities and improves the contact of the braids with the rail.
• Blue colour: quick visual identification to distinguish it from other versions of the same chassis with different hardness or configuration.
• Compatible with the White Flex (Blue) version: if your Sideways McLaren 720S GT3 corresponds to this specific variant, this is the corresponding replacement chassis.

Who is this replacement for?

This chassis is designed for three distinct types of enthusiasts:

1. Those who have suffered a breakage on track: an accident, a broken or bent chassis, and need to return the car to its original state with minimal downtime.
2. The club preparer: who seeks to have a spare chassis on hand or wants to experiment with different configurations while keeping the display car intact.
3. The meticulous collector: who is restoring a model and needs exactly the correct part, not a substitute.

Assembly and preparation

As this is a direct replacement chassis, the assembly process follows the same steps as the original assembly of the Sideways McLaren 720S GT3. It is advisable to check the condition of the other components — guide, braids, motor, and rear axle — before mounting the new chassis, taking advantage of the disassembly for a complete setup. If the car has suffered an impact, it is also recommended to inspect the condition of the pinion and crown gear before running it again.

Points to consider

Ensure that your Sideways McLaren 720S GT3 corresponds exactly to the White Flex (Blue) variant before placing your order. Sideways may market versions of the same model with different chassis hardness (identified by different colours), and compatibility with the bodyshell and internal mounts may vary between variants.

Frequently asked questions

Is this chassis compatible with other versions of the Sideways McLaren 720S GT3?

It is homologated for the White Flex (Blue) version. Other variants of the 720S GT3 may use chassis with different hardness or geometry; always check your model's reference before ordering.

What does "Flex" mean exactly in the chassis designation?

It indicates that the plastic of the chassis has greater flexibility than the rigid versions. This allows the chassis to better adapt to track imperfections, keeping all four wheels in contact with the rail and improving the overall stability of the car.

Can I use this chassis to modify or tune the car?

Yes, many preparers acquire a second chassis specifically to work on it without touching the original car. Being flexible, it can also be a good starting point for height adjustments and braid support.

Does Sideways manufacture resin chassis?

No. Sideways does not manufacture components in resin. Their replacement chassis are made from injected plastic, like this SW720A1.

Do I need special tools for assembly?

The assembly does not require special tools beyond the usual ones in slot preparation: precision screwdrivers and, if additional adjustments are made, the usual workshop setup tools.

The Sideways SW720A1 is the official replacement chassis for the McLaren 720S GT3 White Flex (Blue) slot car.

An essential spare part for slot car collectors and club racers looking to restore or tune their Sideways McLaren 720S GT3 to factory specification.
