Braid on a 1m roll

The MB Slot braid roll: essential spare part for the electrical contact of your 1/32 cars

When track performance fails, the cause often lies in a small but decisive detail: the braid. This component is the conductive bridge between the car's guide and the motor, and its condition directly influences throttle response, the consistency of electrical transmission, and ultimately, the speed through corners and straights. With the 1 metre braid roll from MB Slot (ref. MB-19079), you have more than enough material to prepare several cars or completely renew the electrical system of your favourite slot car.

Function and performance

The braid acts as a flexible conductor between the track rails and the car's electronics. A braid in good condition ensures:

• Continuous electrical contact without micro-cuts, especially important in tight corners.
• Smooth and proportional response to the controller, without stutters or signal loss.
• Lower electrical resistance, resulting in better utilisation of the motor's power.

Over time, the braid wears out, flattens, or becomes contaminated with dust and track debris. Periodically replacing it is one of the simplest and most cost-effective maintenance tasks in terms of performance improvement.

Roll format: practicality above all

This spare part from MB Slot comes in a roll of 1 metre housed in a plastic container that facilitates both storage and dispensing. You can cut exactly the length you need for each preparation, with no waste and no tangles. Ideal for keeping handy on the workbench or in the club's tool bag.

Compatibility and installation

Before installation, ensure that the old braid is completely removed and clean the contact area on the guide. Cut the necessary segment, secure it with the appropriate pressure, and check that the contact with the track rails is correct before closing the chassis. For any questions about compatibility with your specific model, consult your car's specifications or contact our technical team.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I change the braid on my slot car?

It depends on usage, but as a general rule, it is advisable to check it every few racing sessions. If you notice power loss, micro-cuts, or irregular response to the controller, it is likely that the braid is worn or dirty and needs replacement.

How many cars can I prepare with a 1 metre roll?

It depends on the length required for each model, but in most 1/32 slot cars, one metre of braid is sufficient to prepare several complete sets, making this format very cost-effective for the workshop.

How is the braid installed correctly?

Remove the old braid, clean the contact points on the guide, and cut the necessary length from the roll. Secure it ensuring good contact with the rails and check the electrical continuity before closing the chassis.

Is it compatible with any 1/32 slot car?

The braid is categorised within the 1/32 spares from MB Slot. To confirm exact compatibility with your model, consult the manufacturer's specifications or contact our customer service.
