Matra MS670B wheel covers for 14.3 and 15.8 rims

The finish that the Matra MS670B deserves: faithful hubcaps to the original Le Mans

With the reference SIPA64, Slot.it offers you hubcaps specifically designed to replicate the real appearance of the wheels of the Matra MS670B, one of the most iconic endurance prototypes in the history of French motorsport. A seemingly minor detail that, in the hands of a discerning enthusiast, makes the difference between a track model and a collector's piece.

Function and performance

These inserts serve a dual purpose: aesthetic and functional. They press-fit onto the standard rims of the Slot.it range, fitting precisely and remaining secure even during continuous running sessions. By not adding significant weight to the assembly, they do not alter the axle balance or compromise the dynamic behaviour of the model on the track.

Compatibility

The SIPA64 hubcaps are compatible with rims of 14.3 mm and 15.8 mm in diameter, standard sizes in the Slot.it rim range for 1/32 scale competition cars. Before mounting, check the exact diameter of your rims to ensure they correspond to one of these two sizes.

Assembly and preparation

The assembly does not require special tools: simply press the hubcap onto the rim with your fingers or with a soft mounting tool to avoid marking the surface. Ensure that the rim is clean and free of grease before installing them, which guarantees a more stable and durable fit.

The Matra MS670B and its legacy at Le Mans

The Matra MS670B is synonymous with the golden years of French endurance racing. With this prototype, Matra and Simca conquered the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1973 alongside Henri Pescarolo and Gérard Larrousse, also achieving the Manufacturers' World Championship. Its elegant silhouette, V12 engine, and unmistakable blue livery make it one of the most photographed and reproduced cars in the world of modelling and slot racing. Having hubcaps that faithfully replicate its original wheel is, for any collector, a gesture of respect towards the history of motorsport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Slot.it rims are these hubcaps compatible with?

The SIPA64 is compatible with rims of 14.3 mm and 15.8 mm in diameter. These are standard sizes within the Slot.it rim catalogue for 1/32 scale. If you have doubts about the diameter of your rims, consult the exact reference of them.

Do they affect the weight or balance of the car?

No, not appreciably. They are made of lightweight plastic, so their impact on the total axle weight is minimal and does not alter the behaviour of the model on the track.

Is adhesive necessary to fix them?

No. The mounting system is pressure-fit. Adhesive is not recommended, as it would complicate their replacement in the future if necessary.

Are they exclusive to the Slot.it Matra MS670B model?

They are designed to replicate the appearance of the wheels of the Matra MS670B, but their compatibility is determined by the rim diameter (14.3 mm or 15.8 mm), not by the car model. They can be used on any Slot.it rim that shares those measurements.

Are they sold in individual blister or in packs?
