LOLA T280/290 MEDIUM BLACK CHASSIS

The NSR Medium Black Chassis for the Lola T280/290: Adjustment and Control in Every Corner

When it comes to maximising the performance of a Lola T280/290 on track, the chassis is one of the elements that most influences the car's response. NSR knows this well, which is why it offers this Medium version in black (ref. NSR1629), designed for those seeking an intermediate stiffness point that balances traction and agility on most circuits.

Main Features

• Medium Stiffness: a balance point between a soft chassis (more traction, more grip in slow sections) and a hard one (more top speed, livelier response). Ideal as a starting reference for any setup.
• Specific Compatibility: designed and manufactured to fit directly onto the NSR Lola T280/290 models.
• NSR Quality Material: made from NSR's characteristic technical plastic, ensuring precise tolerances and durability against continuous track use.
• Black Colour: standard finish that facilitates identification against other stiffnesses in the NSR catalogue.

Why Change the Chassis?

The stiffness of the chassis determines how the weight of the car is distributed and how it responds to direction changes. A Medium chassis like this is an excellent option for mixed circuits, with medium corners and some fast sections. If the car slides too much with a hard chassis or loses agility with a soft one, the Medium is usually the perfect starting point for fine-tuning.

Assembly and Preparation

The process of replacing the chassis on NSR models is straightforward and does not require special tools. Simply remove the body, release the subassemblies (motor, rear axle, guide) and transfer them to the new chassis. It is important to check that the guide, braids, and motor are properly seated after assembly to avoid electrical contact loss or unwanted rubbing.

Ideal for…

• Club racers who want to experiment with different chassis configurations without investing in a completely new car.
• Preparers who have several chassis to quickly adapt the car according to the layout of the day.
• Enthusiasts who have suffered a damaged chassis and need to replace the part without losing the original specifications of the model.

Considerations

NSR offers the chassis for the Lola T280/290 in different stiffnesses. If you already know how your car behaves on your usual circuit, you can go directly to the stiffness you need. If you are starting to experiment, the Medium is the most recommended starting point before moving to more extreme configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this chassis compatible with all NSR Lola T280/290 models?

Yes, the NSR1629 chassis is specifically designed for the NSR Lola T280/290 models in the NSR catalogue. It is compatible with the different liveries and versions of that model that the brand has marketed.

What is the difference between a soft, medium, and hard chassis?

The stiffness of the chassis affects the flex of the assembly during driving. A soft chassis allows for more torsion, improving grip in slow corners. A hard one is stiffer and favours speed in fast sections. The Medium is the midpoint, balanced for most circuits.

Can the components from the original chassis be reused?

Yes. The motor, rear axle, guide, braids, and body are completely transferable to the new chassis without the need to acquire additional parts, as long as they are in good condition.

Is any additional adjustment necessary after installing the new chassis?

It is advisable to check the height of the guide, the tension of the braids, and the correct alignment of the rear axle. A small fine-tuning adjustment after assembly ensures the best performance from the first lap.
