Complete suspension kit

The kit that completes the circle in your Thunderslot suspension

Thunderslot is one of the brands that has invested the most in suspension systems in its chassis, aiming for the car to maintain maximum contact with the track in every corner and variation of the layout. This Complete Suspension Kit (ref. TH-SUSK005S) brings together all the necessary components for the motor mount in a single pack, eliminating the need to search for loose parts and ensuring that all elements are compatible from the very beginning.

Pack contents

The kit includes:

• 4 suspension stops, which define the maximum travel of the system and protect the assembly from impacts.
• 5 soft springs, which absorb track irregularities and allow the motor and rear axle to operate more smoothly.
• 5 torx screws 1.8×12 mm, the fastening elements necessary for correct assembly on the motor mount.

Function and performance

The suspension in a slot car directly affects traction and stability. The soft springs in this kit allow the motor mount to absorb small bumps and rail joints without the guide losing contact with the conductor rail. The result is more consistent driving, especially on circuits with fast sections where track irregularities can cause power loss or guide disconnection.

The stops limit the vertical movement of the assembly, preventing the motor from having excessive travel that could affect the transmission or rear axle. The torx screws 1.8×12 mm ensure precise tightening without the risk of deforming the plastic parts of the mount.

Compatibility and assembly

This kit is specifically designed for Thunderslot chassis that incorporate a suspension system in the motor mount. Before purchasing, we recommend checking that your specific model uses this type of mount, as Thunderslot has different chassis configurations depending on the car.

The assembly does not require special tools beyond a torx screwdriver of the appropriate size. Nevertheless, it is advisable to work carefully when tightening the screws to avoid stressing the plastic of the mount.

Ideal for…

This pack is particularly useful in two situations: renewing the suspension of a car that has already accumulated running time and whose parts are beginning to show wear, or preparing a second set of components to have spare parts ready in club competitions without wasting time between heats.

Frequently asked questions

Is this kit compatible with all Thunderslot models?

Not necessarily. It is designed for Thunderslot chassis with a suspension system in the motor mount. Check the manual or specifications of your model to confirm compatibility before installation.

Why does it include 5 springs and 5 screws if the car only has 4 stops?

The extra unit of springs and screws acts as a backup spare, which is especially practical in competition sessions where there is not always time to search for loose parts.

Are the soft springs suitable for any type of track?

Soft springs work particularly well on tracks with a certain level of irregularity or marked joints, as they better absorb imperfections. On very flat and smooth tracks, the behaviour remains correct, although some competitors prefer stiffer springs to reduce the rocking of the motor assembly.

Do I need any special tools for assembly?

Only a torx screwdriver of the compatible size with the included 1.8×12 mm screws. Nothing else is needed for a correct installation.

Can I mix these springs with stops from another manufacturer?

Technically it is possible, but we recommend always using Thunderslot components together to ensure that the tolerances and travel of the system are within the values for which the chassis was designed.

The Thunderslot TH-SUSK005S complete suspension kit is an essential spare part for Thunderslot chassis equipped with a motor mount suspension system. Including 4 suspension stops, 5 soft springs, and 5 torx 1.8×12 mm screws, this pack covers everything needed to maintain or restore the suspension on your slot car. Soft springs improve track contact and traction consistency, making this kit a smart choice for club racers and hobbyists looking to keep their Thunderslot running at its best.
