Function and performance

The braids are the electrical bridge between the track and the car's motor. A braid in poor condition —oxidised, excessively bent or with reduced section due to wear— causes power losses, intermittent connections, and irregular responses to the controller. Periodically replacing them is one of the simplest interventions with the greatest direct impact on the car's performance.

Tinned copper offers excellent conductivity and resists oxidation better than bare copper, which prolongs the lifespan of the braid and keeps the contact clean for more sessions. The thickness of 0.35 mm provides the necessary flexibility to adapt to the guide's movement without premature fatigue.

Compatibility and installation

The 3.3 mm wide and 3 cm long format corresponds to the Standard measurement from Sloting Plus, designed to fit most guides on the 1/32 scale slot market. Before installation, it is advisable to clean the guide's slots and ensure that the braids sit flat on the track to maximise the contact surface.

As they come pre-cut, the measuring and cutting step with scissors or a cutter is eliminated, reducing the risk of errors and speeding up preparation. Ideal for both a regular preparer's workshop and a club night paddock.

Ideal for…

• Club racers who perform frequent maintenance between sessions.
• Preparers working with multiple cars at once and needing agility.
• Enthusiasts taking their first steps in slot preparation who want hassle-free spares.
• Having a stock of spares without having to cut braid each time.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I change the braids?

It depends on usage and the type of track. In competition sessions or with tracks that generate a lot of wear, it is advisable to check them every few sessions and replace them as soon as a reduction in section, permanent deformation, or signs of oxidation are noticed.

Are they compatible with any guide on the market?

The Standard format of 3.3 mm wide fits the vast majority of guides for 1/32 cars. However, it is advisable to check the dimensions against the specific guide of your car, as some models use guides with different sized slots.

What advantage does tinned copper have over untreated copper?

Tinning acts as a protective layer against oxidation. This translates to a more stable contact over time and a reduced need to clean the braids between sessions.

Can I use these braids on Universal and Sport track systems?

The braid itself does not depend on the type of track, but on the car's guide. As long as the guide is compatible with the 3.3 mm format, you can use them on Scalextric, Ninco, Scaleauto, Carrera, or any other system.
