LOLA T280/290 EXTRAHARD GREEN CHASSIS

The NSR Extrahard Green chassis for Lola T280/290: rigidity and control in a single piece

The reference NSR1631 is the Extrahard chassis in green designed specifically for the NSR Lola T280 and T290 models. Within NSR's spare parts and accessories catalogue, the Extrahard chassis range holds a prominent position: designed for enthusiasts who want to maximise their model without sacrificing the precision fit that only a component made for the correct car can offer.

Features and function of the chassis

The term Extrahard refers to the hardness of the plastic material used in its manufacture. Compared to standard chassis, an Extrahard chassis has greater structural rigidity, which translates into:

• Less lateral flex during cornering, especially at high speeds.
• Greater consistency in the transfer of forces to the rear axle.
• More predictable and repeatable behaviour on track, essential in timing sessions or club competitions.

The green colour is not merely aesthetic: NSR uses the colour code to visually identify the hardness of the chassis within its range, facilitating selection for the preparer or driver according to the type of circuit and driving style.

Compatibility

This chassis is designed exclusively for the NSR Lola T280 and Lola T290 models. If you have any doubts about whether your specific version of the model is compatible, we recommend checking the reference against the official NSR parts list before proceeding with assembly.

Assembly and preparation

Replacing the chassis is a common operation in the workshop of any experienced preparer. When assembling the NSR1631, it is advisable to pay attention to the following points:

1. Ensure that all internal components (motor, mount, axle, wheels) fit correctly before closing the assembly.
2. Check the clearance of the guide and the free travel of the rear axle.
3. Verify that the braids make clean contact with the rails once the chassis is assembled.
4. Ensure that the body sits without tension that could deform the chassis during operation.

Ideal for…

This chassis is especially recommended for:

• Drivers competing with the Lola T280/T290 in club championships who want to optimise the dynamic behaviour of the car.
• Enthusiasts who have suffered damage to the original chassis and are looking for a genuine NSR replacement with full fit guarantee.
• Preparers testing different chassis hardnesses to find the optimal point according to the type of circuit (fast, technical, mixed).

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a standard chassis and an Extrahard one?

The main difference is the hardness of the plastic. The Extrahard is stiffer, which reduces chassis flex on track and offers more stable behaviour at high speeds. A softer chassis allows for greater flexibility and may adapt better to uneven circuits.

Does the green colour indicate any specific technical characteristic?

Yes. NSR uses the colour code to identify the hardness of its chassis within the range. Green corresponds to the Extrahard version, visually differentiating it from other hardnesses available for the same model.

Is it compatible with all versions of the NSR Lola T280 and T290?

It is designed for the NSR Lola T280 and T290 models in general. However, for specific versions or special editions, we recommend verifying compatibility with the official NSR parts list to ensure a perfect fit.

Do I need special tools for assembly?

No special tools are required. Basic slot preparation tools (precision screwdrivers, fine-nose pliers) are sufficient. It is advisable to work calmly and check each component before closing the assembly.

Can I use this chassis on universal and sport track systems?

The chassis itself is compatible with any type of circuit. Adaptation to rails of different systems (Scalextric, Ninco, Scaleauto…) will depend on the guide and braids mounted on the car, not on the chassis.

The NSR1631 is the Extrahard Green chassis for NSR Lola T280 and T290 slot car models, a genuine replacement part designed for club racing and performance tuning.
