Soldered braid roll

Oxygen-free tinned braid: conductivity and durability at the service of speed

The reference TT053 from Tectime is a roll of oxygen-free tinned braid, designed for those who do not want to compromise even a bit of electrical performance in their slot car. The oxygen-free tinning ensures clean and stable conductivity, reducing electrical resistance and improving the response to the controller's commands.

Main features

• Material: oxygen-free tinned braid, with excellent electrical conductivity.
• Format: roll, allowing you to cut the exact length needed for each setup.
• Optimised for speed and durability: balance between mechanical flexibility and durability under continuous use conditions.
• Tectime reference: TT053.

Function and performance

Braids are the electrical link between the track and the car's motor. A low-resistance braid with good conductivity translates directly into sharper response, more precise acceleration, and less power loss along the way. The oxygen-free formulation of the TT053 minimises oxidation, one of the main enemies of long-term conductivity, especially on tracks where the car accumulates hours of running time.

Recommended applications

This roll of braid is a solid option for both club competition setups and enthusiasts who prepare their cars with care. Coming in a roll format, it is particularly convenient for builders working with multiple cars or making frequent replacements during maintenance sessions.

Installation and preparation

Cut the necessary length according to the guide and chassis you are preparing. Ensure that the contact with the guide pin and the motor is clean and firm. A well-set braid, without forced bends or unnecessary tension points, will prolong its lifespan and maintain stable conductivity session after session.

Common mistakes

• Installing the braid with excessive tension, leading to premature wear or loss of contact in corners.
• Not cleaning the rails before a long session: accumulated dirt on the rail wears out the braids faster and penalises conductivity.
• Reusing heavily worn braids in competition setups where electrical response is critical.

Frequently asked questions

What advantage does oxygen-free braid have over standard braid?

The oxygen-free process reduces the formation of oxide on copper, which keeps electrical conductivity more stable over time. In intensive use or humid climates, the difference is noticeable.

How much braid do I need per car?

It depends on the chassis and guide used, but in most standard slot cars, a few centimetres of braid per car is sufficient. Coming in a roll, you have plenty of material for several setups.

Is it compatible with any guide and chassis?

The braid itself is a flexible conductor; its compatibility depends on the diameter and how it is fixed in each guide. Check the dimensions of your guide's pin before installation to ensure proper contact.

How often should I replace the braids?

In recreational use, with basic maintenance and clean rails, they can last several sessions without issues. In competition, many builders check or replace them periodically to ensure optimal electrical response.

Can I use this braid on both universal and Sport track?

Yes. The braid acts as a conductor between the track and the motor, so it is valid regardless of the track system you use.
