The Slot.it SICN10 Neodymium Magnet: Precision at the Service of Magnetic Suspension
When preparing a chassis with magnetic suspension, every component matters. The neodymium magnet SICN10 from Slot.it — measuring 6 x 1.5 mm — is the official replacement part designed to maintain or replicate the original behaviour of the magnetic suspension systems incorporated by the brand in its most advanced chassis.
Function and Performance
Neodymium magnets offer a significantly higher force-to-size ratio compared to conventional magnets. In the context of Slot.it's magnetic suspension, this magnet works by generating the necessary attraction to the metal track to influence the dynamic behaviour of the chassis: it improves cornering grip, stabilises the car during plane changes, and contributes to more predictable driving, especially on Sport track layouts.
Its dimensions of 6 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm in thickness correspond to the specific housing of Slot.it's magnetic suspension system, ensuring a precise fit without the need for additional modifications.
Compatibility and Installation
This magnet is designed as an original replacement for Slot.it chassis that incorporate magnetic suspension. If you are replacing a worn or damaged magnet, or building a setup from scratch on a compatible chassis, the SICN10 fits directly into the designated housing without requiring adaptations.
- Dimensions: 6 mm in diameter × 1.5 mm in thickness
- Material: neodymium (NdFeB)
- Application: magnetic suspension in compatible Slot.it chassis
- Official reference: SICN10
Preparation and Common Mistakes
When handling neodymium magnets, it is important to consider their fragility against impacts and their strong mutual attraction: separate them carefully to avoid collisions and chipping. During installation, check the polarity before securing the magnet in its housing; incorrect orientation would reverse the attraction effect on the track and distort the suspension's operation.
If the chassis exhibits inconsistent performance in corners or the car loses grip irregularly, checking the condition of the suspension magnet is one of the first steps in diagnosis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Slot.it chassis is this magnet designed for?
The SICN10 is designed for Slot.it chassis that incorporate a magnetic suspension system. Check your chassis manual or technical sheet to confirm that the housing corresponds to the dimensions 6 x 1.5 mm before proceeding with installation.
How many magnets are included in the pack?
The information provided by Slot.it does not specify the number of units per pack for this item. We recommend checking the detailed sheet on Ministry of Hobby or contacting our team to confirm.
Can it be used on universal track (Scalextric, Ninco)?
Technically, the magnet acts on any metal track. However, this component is designed and sized to fit the housings of Slot.it chassis with magnetic suspension, which are optimised for Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it). The performance on other tracks will depend on the chassis you use, not the magnet itself.
What adhesive is recommended for securing the magnet?
Slot.it does not specify a particular adhesive for this component. In slot preparation, it is common to use medium-viscosity cyanoacrylate in small amounts, ensuring that the contact surfaces with the chassis are not contaminated.
Do neodymium magnets lose magnetism over time?
Under normal usage conditions, neodymium magnets are very stable. They may lose properties if subjected to high temperatures or strong impacts that chip them, so it is advisable to handle them carefully during installation.
The Slot.it SICN10 neodymium magnet — 6x1.5 mm — is the official replacement part for Slot.it magnetic suspension systems. Designed for slot car builders and competitive racers seeking precise chassis setup, this NdFeB magnet delivers consistent downforce and improved cornering stability. Compatible with Slot.it magnetic suspension chassis running on Sport-type track layouts. A must-have spare for any serious slot car workshop.
