The original spring your Avant Slot truck chassis needs
When a component as small as a spring fails, the entire behaviour of the chassis is affected. This replacement spring (ref. AV20562) is the original part from Avant Slot, designed to maintain the correct tension and support in all its truck chassis, regardless of whether they are fitted with one or two motors.
Function and performance
The spring works within the chassis absorbing track irregularities and ensuring that the guide maintains proper contact with the rail. A damaged spring — fatigued, deformed, or broken — causes loss of electrical contact, unstable guide, and erratic behaviour in corners. Replacing it with the original part is the most straightforward way to restore factory performance.
Compatibility
- Compatible with all Avant Slot truck chassis.
- Valid for both 1 motor and 2 motors configurations.
Installation and preparation
The replacement is straightforward: it requires no special tools or modifications. Simply remove the worn spring and place the new one in position, ensuring it is properly seated before closing the chassis. We recommend checking the condition of the spring periodically, especially after long racing sessions or if instability in the guide is detected.
Common mistakes
- Using springs from other brands or references: although they may seem similar, small differences in tension or size alter the behaviour of the chassis. Always use the original replacement.
- Ignoring progressive wear: the spring does not usually break suddenly; it fatigues over time. If you notice that the guide is losing pressure or the truck is less consistent, check the spring before looking for the problem elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
Which Avant Slot truck chassis is this spring compatible with?
It is compatible with all Avant Slot truck chassis, both single-motor and dual-motor configurations.
How do I know if my spring needs to be replaced?
The most common symptoms are instability in the guide, intermittent loss of electrical contact, or irregular behaviour in corners that cannot be resolved by adjusting other chassis elements.
Can I use springs from other brands as a substitute?
It is not recommended. Each chassis is designed to work with a specific spring tension. Using a spring from another reference may alter the guide pressure and the overall behaviour of the truck.
Is this a piece sold individually?
