Red copper braid in reusable dispenser: precision and order at your workbench
The MITOOS CXM171 combines one metre of high-conductivity red copper braid with a dispenser specifically designed to facilitate its use in the workshop. A simple yet tremendously practical solution for any slot enthusiast who wants to keep their materials organised and in perfect condition.
Main features
- Material: braid made from high-conductivity red copper.
- Included length: 1 metre of braid.
- Side opening: allows you to extract and cut only the necessary amount, without wasting material.
- Protected storage: the rest of the braid is kept inside the dispenser, protected from dust and moisture.
- Reusable dispenser: when the braid runs out, the dispenser can be reloaded with a new roll.
Function and performance
The red copper braid is one of the most commonly used consumables in the preparation and maintenance of slot cars. Its high electrical conductivity ensures efficient current transmission between the car's braids and the track, resulting in a cleaner and more progressive response to the controller. Replacing worn or low-quality braids with high-conductivity red copper is one of the simplest and most effective upgrades that can be applied to any car.
Assembly and preparation
Thanks to the side opening of the dispenser, it is sufficient to extract the exact amount of braid for each intervention: whether for a specific car, to replenish several units at once, or to have a small piece of reserve in the drawer. By cutting only what is necessary, tangles and the usual deterioration that occurs when the braid is stored loose on the workbench are avoided.
Once all the braid from the cartridge has been used, the dispenser is not thrown away: it is reloaded with a new roll, making it a durable and sustainable accessory within the workshop.
Ideal for…
- Slot enthusiasts who perform maintenance and preparation of their own cars.
- Club workshops where vehicles are repaired or prepared frequently.
- Any preparer who values order and material efficiency.
Frequently asked questions
What advantage does red copper braid have over other materials?
Red copper offers very high electrical conductivity, which improves current transmission from the track to the car's motor. It is especially valued in competitive applications or in preparations where maximum response to the controller is sought.
Does the dispenser come pre-loaded with braid?
Yes. The product includes the dispenser with 1 metre of red copper braid already inside, ready to use from the very first moment.
Can I reload the dispenser when the braid runs out?
Yes. The dispenser has been designed to be reusable: when you exhaust the included metre of braid, you can refill it with more braid of the same type or compatible.
How much braid do I need per car?
It depends on the model and how you have configured the car, but in most cases, the amount needed to replace the braids of a vehicle is very small. With one metre of braid, you can easily cover several cars.
Is it compatible with any slot car brand?
The braid itself is a generic material made from red copper that can be cut and adapted to the necessary size, so it can be used in cars from virtually any brand and scale, as long as it fits correctly into the brush holder or corresponding support.
The MITOOS CXM171 is a reusable dispenser loaded with 1 metre of high-conductivity red copper braid, ideal for slot car preparation and maintenance. The side opening allows you to cut only the amount needed while keeping the rest stored in perfect condition. Compatible with slot cars from all major brands, this practical accessory is a must-have for any hobbyist's workbench.
