Here's 2 articles on the very short 1/12th Lexan car era.

First is from Radio Race Car.





Second from Model Cars quarterly.

Unfortunately the UK weather didn't give anyone a chance to spot the achilles heel... excessive flexibility in hot climates. The 82 Worlds in Anaheim was blistering hot and the lexan cars didn't perform as well as fiberglass cars. Cool idea though, should be good on a low grip track. I'd like to drive one sometime.

Thanks for the articles. Quite interesting even when I had a Lexancar back in the days. But never have seen this Nodis car before.

Even outdoors on dusty parking lot tracks these cars did work (at European temperatures) but indoors on polished floor these were the cars to beat. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=21331&start=15
