Complete suspension kit

Everything you need to assemble the suspension of your Thunderslot, in a single kit

The Thunderslot complete suspension kit (TH-SUSK004) brings together all the components involved in the motor mount suspension system in one pack: 4 stops, 5 foam washers, and 5 torx screws of 1.8 x 12 mm. A practical solution for those who prepare, repair, or fine-tune their Thunderslot slot cars without having to search for each part separately.

Kit contents

• 4 suspension stops: limit the travel of the motor mount and define the behaviour of the suspension under load.
• 5 foam washers: key damping element; absorb track irregularities and help maintain constant guide contact with the track.
• 5 torx screws 1.8 x 12 mm: specific fastening for assembling the set, with the exact measurement required by the Thunderslot system.

Function and performance

The suspension of the motor mount is one of the adjustments that most influences the stability and grip of a slot car, especially on technical tracks with elevation changes or junctions between track sections. The foam washers act as soft springs that allow the guide to follow the layout without losing contact with the track, while the stops regulate how much the mount can move before reaching the mechanical limit.

Having a complete kit with stops, washers, and screws allows for the renewal of the entire system when the original parts show wear, or to adjust the stiffness and travel of the suspension to the driver's preference or the demands of the championship.

Compatibility and assembly

This kit is specifically designed for the chassis and motor mounts of the Thunderslot range. If you have questions about compatibility with a specific model from the brand, check the reference of your motor mount or ask us before assembly.

The assembly does not require special tools beyond a suitable torx screwdriver for 1.8 mm screws, which is common in any slot preparation tool kit.

When should you check or replace the suspension?

The foam washers are consumables: with use and heat, they lose elasticity and their damping capacity decreases progressively. If you notice that the guide loses grip on the track in straights or that the car starts to slide in areas where it previously had no issues, it is very likely that the washers have reached the end of their useful life. The stops can also deform from impacts, altering the suspension travel. Renewing the complete kit is the simplest way to rule out these factors before adjusting other parameters of the car.

Frequently asked questions

Does this kit include everything I need to assemble the motor mount suspension?

Yes. The TH-SUSK004 pack includes 4 stops, 5 foam washers, and 5 torx screws 1.8 x 12 mm, which are the components of the motor mount suspension system in Thunderslot chassis.

Are the foam washers all the same or do they have different hardness?

The kit description does not specify different hardness levels. If you need additional information about variants, please consult us before placing your order.

How often should the foam washers be changed?

It depends on usage and track conditions. In regular club use, it is advisable to check them periodically and replace them when there is noticeable loss of elasticity or permanent deformation.

Do I need any special tools for assembly?

Only a torx screwdriver compatible with 1.8 mm screws, which is part of the basic equipment of any slot preparer.

Is it compatible with chassis from other brands?

This kit is designed for Thunderslot systems. Compatibility with mounts from other brands depends on the specific dimensions of each chassis; we cannot guarantee it without prior verification.
