Metric screws ERGAL 2.2x9mm large head x4

ERGAL Screws from Slot.it for Motor Pods: Precision and Reliability in Every Assembly

When working on the setup or preparation of a 1/32 slot car, every detail matters. The fastening screws are one of those elements that go unnoticed until they fail, which is why Slot.it manufactures them in ERGAL, a high-strength aluminium alloy widely used in precision and competition applications.

Function and Features

This pack contains 4 large head metric screws 2.2x9mm made of ERGAL alloy, classified as spare parts for 1/32 scale motor pods. Their larger diameter head provides a wider support surface on the part to be fastened, better distributing pressure and reducing the risk of over-tightening a plastic or resin component.

• Metric: 2.2 mm diameter, 9 mm length
• Large head for greater tightening surface
• ERGAL Material: lightweight and durable aluminium alloy
• Pack of 4 units
• Reference: SICH133

Application: Motor Pod Spare Part in 1/32

These screws are classified as motor pod spare parts for 1/32 slot cars from Slot.it. The motor pod is the assembly that houses the motor and pinion, and its proper attachment to the chassis is essential for maintaining the alignment of the drivetrain, stability in corners, and acceleration response. Worn, bent, or incorrectly sized screws can cause play that ruins the car's handling, especially during prolonged competition sessions.

Assembly and Preparation

When replacing these screws, it is also advisable to check the condition of the threaded holes in the chassis. If the thread shows wear, applying a low-strength thread locker can help maintain tension without hindering future disassembly. The large head of these screws facilitates tightening with a screwdriver even in tight spaces, which is common in 1/32 scale chassis.

Common Mistakes

• Over-tightening: ERGAL is strong, but the chassis thread may yield if forced.
• Mixing screws of different metrics: always check that the size matches the specification provided by the chassis manufacturer.
• Reusing bent screws or those with damaged heads: affects the uniformity of the tightening.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many screws are included in this pack?

The SICH133 pack includes 4 large head ERGAL metric screws 2.2x9mm.

What scale are these screws designed for?

They are designed for 1/32 scale slot cars, within the range of motor pod spare parts from Slot.it.

What advantage does ERGAL material offer over conventional steel screws?

ERGAL is an aluminium alloy that combines lightness and mechanical strength. It reduces the total weight of the assembly without compromising the solidity of the fastening, which is relevant in competition-oriented setups.

Does the large head mean the screw protrudes more from the chassis?

The large head increases the support diameter, not necessarily the height. Check your chassis specifications to ensure there is enough space before installing them.

Are they compatible with other 1/32 scale chassis that are not Slot.it?

Compatibility depends on the metric and thread pitch of the chassis in question. As this is a 2.2mm metric screw, it may work in other chassis that share that specification, but we recommend verifying it before use.
