CB RACE 0.35 copper braid with dispenser

CB Race Copper Braid 0.35 mm: Reliable Contact and Dispenser for Hassle-Free Work

The braid is one of the elements that most influences the current transmission of a slot car. A worn, poorly positioned, or inadequately material braid directly translates into power losses and irregular response to the controller. The CB Race range from Sloting Plus is designed to address this with a quality copper specifically selected for competition and tuning.

The Dispenser: A Detail That Makes a Difference

Any tuner knows how difficult it is to handle a coiled braid without it deforming, tangling, or ending up thrown in a drawer. The dispenser included in this reference solves exactly that: it keeps the 2 m perfectly wound, allows you to extract the right amount with one hand, and protects the material between uses. A small accessory that saves time and prevents material waste.

Function and Performance on Track

The copper braid acts as an electrical bridge between the car's guide and the motor. A good contact at this point means a cleaner response to the controller, especially during hard braking and acceleration where any micro-cut is noticeable. The thickness of 0.35 mm is a widely used measurement in club and competition setups, balancing flexibility and conductivity.

The width of approximately 3.4 mm is compatible with most standard guides on the market, making this braid suitable for preparing cars from various origins without adjustment complications.

Assembly and Preparation

For an optimal result, it is important to clean the contact area well before placing the new braid. Cut the necessary length precisely and ensure it is well secured and free of wrinkles that could interfere with sliding on the track. An excess of braid can rub against the chassis or wheels, so always adjust the length to the minimum functional for each car.

Ideal for…

• Club tuners and competitors looking for a copper braid with good conductivity.
• Enthusiasts who regularly check and maintain their slot cars.
• Workshops and retailers that need to have material in controlled quantities and well stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cars can I prepare with the 2 m of braid?

It depends on the type of car and how much braid you use per side, but with 2 m you have more than enough material to prepare and check several cars. Most setups consume between 5 and 10 cm per side, providing ample margin to work calmly and without running short.

Is this braid compatible with any guide?

The width of approximately 3.4 mm fits the vast majority of standard slot guides on the market. If your guide has an especially narrow or wide channel, check the measurements before installing it.

How often should the braid be changed?

There is no fixed rule: it depends on usage, the track, and the running conditions. In competition, it is usually checked between sessions. A clear sign that it needs to be changed is the loss of response or irregularities in power transmission that cannot be explained by other factors.

Is the dispenser reusable?

Yes. The dispenser case is designed to protect and dispense the braid both during use and in storage. You can keep it once the original spool is exhausted.

Is there a difference between copper braid and other materials?

Copper is the most common material in slot braids due to its high electrical conductivity and good balance between flexibility and durability. Other materials may offer variations in conductivity or behaviour, but copper remains the most widely used reference in tuning.

The Sloting Plus SP104138 CB Race copper braid (0.35 mm thick, approx. 3.4 mm wide, 2 m length) is a top choice for slot car tuning and preparation. Compatible with standard slot car guides, it ensures reliable current transfer and consistent performance on track. Supplied with a practical dispenser for tidy, easy handling. A must-have consumable for slot car club racers and enthusiasts looking for quality copper braid for guide and motor connectivity.
