Fixed hard angle cradle - white

The most rigid cradle from Avant Slot: fixed angle, no compromises

The reference AV20564 marks a step forward in the spare parts catalogue of Avant Slot. This fixed angle white cradle is made from a newly formulated compound with an extra load of fiberglass, making it the most rigid cradle the brand has released to date. Less flex, more precision, better transmission.

Features and highlights

• Ultra-rigid material: new compound with additional fiberglass load, noticeably harder and more durable than previous versions.
• Fixed angle design: no adjustment system, simplifying assembly and preparation.
• White colour: easy to identify and differentiate on the workbench.
• Reference AV20564 from the official Avant Slot catalogue.

Function and performance

The cradle is the component that houses the guide and allows it to sit correctly on the track. A more rigid cradle reduces deformation under load, resulting in more consistent guide contact with the track and, therefore, a more stable and predictable drive. On technical tracks or with uneven surfaces, this extra rigidity can make the difference between a guide that performs well and one that loses its line.

The return to a fixed angle design is a highly appreciated practical decision in the workshop: by eliminating the adjustment system, simplicity in assembly is gained, failure points are reduced, and preparation is facilitated for those who prefer a straightforward setup without additional variables.

Assembly and preparation

Assembling this cradle is straightforward. Being fixed, there is no need to worry about angle adjustments or the regulation shifting during the race. Simply place it correctly in the car chassis and ensure that the guide is well centred and free from unwanted play. Its rigidity also facilitates sanding and preparation work without deforming the part.

Compatibility

This cradle is designed for Avant Slot models that use angle mounting. Always check compatibility with your specific chassis before installation, as Avant Slot has different references depending on the car model.

Ideal for…

• Club racers looking for a reliable and hassle-free setup.
• Enthusiasts working on their own cars at the bench who value the simplicity of the fixed design.
• Competitors needing maximum rigidity in the guide pod for consistency on track.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a fixed cradle and an adjustable cradle?

An adjustable cradle allows for the guide angle to be adjusted according to the needs of the track or driver, but adds complexity to the assembly and more points susceptible to movement during the race. The fixed cradle eliminates that variable: the angle is constant, assembly is simpler, and preparation is quicker.

Why does the rigidity of the cradle matter?

A soft cradle can deform under the pressure of corners or impacts, causing the guide to lose contact with the track and the car to skid or derail. A stiffer material, like the fiberglass-reinforced compound of this reference, keeps the guide geometry stable throughout the race.

Is it compatible with universal track (Scalextric, Ninco) and sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it)?

Compatibility depends on the chassis of the car in which the cradle is mounted, not on the track itself. Verify that reference AV20564 fits your Avant Slot model before installation.

Do I need any special tools to mount it?

No. Assembly is straightforward and does not require specific tools beyond the usual ones found in any slot preparation bench.

Does this cradle directly replace previous versions from Avant Slot?

It is designed as an evolution of the same concept of fixed angle cradle, with improved material. If you have doubts about whether it exactly replaces your previous reference, consult the Avant Slot catalogue or contact us.
