Kit Contents

• 4 stoppers for motor support
• 5 Torx 1.8 x 8 mm screws

Function and Performance

The motor support stoppers serve a critical function: keeping the motor correctly positioned within the chassis, preventing unwanted movement that could alter the power transmission to the rear axle. A well-secured support translates into cleaner acceleration response and greater consistency from lap to lap.

The Torx screws included in the kit are specific to this set, ensuring the correct torque without the risk of damaging the chassis plastic or the support itself.

Assembly and Preparation

Assembly is straightforward if you work with the appropriate tools for the Torx 1.8 mm metric. We recommend first removing the motor from the chassis, inspecting the condition of the existing stoppers, and only replacing those that show wear or deformation. It is common for stoppers to absorb micro-vibrations and lose tension after several intense running sessions, so having this kit in your spare parts drawer is good preventive maintenance practice.

Compatibility

This replacement is designed for the chassis and motor supports of the Thunderslot range. If you have any doubts about compatibility with a specific model, consult your car's manual or contact our team.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I replace the motor support stoppers?

When you notice that the motor has excessive play within the chassis, that the acceleration response becomes irregular, or that the car loses consistency from lap to lap. A damaged support can directly affect power transmission and track behaviour.

Why are 5 screws included if the kit has 4 stoppers?

The additional screw acts as a safety spare. Small metric screws like the Torx 1.8 mm are easy to misplace during assembly, so having an extra unit prevents halting preparation due to lack of material.

Do I need any special tools for assembly?

Yes, a screwdriver or Torx bit compatible with the 1.8 mm head is required. This is a common size in competitive slot racing, and brands like Sloting Plus offer specific adjustment tools for this type of fine screw.

Can I use these screws on other components of the Thunderslot chassis?

They are specific to the motor support. Although the metric may match other points on the chassis, we recommend using them exclusively for the function they are designed for and consulting the Thunderslot spare parts catalogue if you need screws for other areas.
