Cable 1m + 10 terminals

The cable that keeps the contact between your slot car and the track alive

When the performance of a slot car starts to fail for no apparent reason, often the culprit is a damaged cable or terminals that have lost their connection. This 1 metre cable kit with 10 guide terminals (ref. NSR4824) addresses exactly that problem: it allows you to remake or renew the wiring that goes from the braids to the car's electronics with complete assurance.

Function and performance

The cable conducts the current captured by the braids through the guide to the motor. A poor connection —whether due to oxidation, breakage, or a poorly crimped terminal— directly translates into power losses, intermittent cut-outs, or erratic starts. Having this consumable in the workshop prevents unnecessary downtime during the preparation session or in the midst of club competition.

The pack includes 10 terminals, allowing for multiple interventions or the preparation of several cars at once without running out of materials halfway through the work.

Compatibility and assembly

Designed for use with slot car guides in 1/32 scale. The metre of cable provides enough margin to cut to the exact length required for each chassis, whether it is a standard model or a custom preparation. The terminals facilitate a secure and repeatable connection, without the need to solder directly to the cable if the appropriate crimping tool is available.

Assembly and preparation

• Measure and cut the cable to the necessary length according to the chassis.
• Crimp the terminal with the appropriate tool, ensuring a firm contact.
• Check continuity with a multimeter before closing the car.
• Replace both cables (positive and negative) if wear is detected, to maintain symmetrical performance.

Ideal for…

Preparers and enthusiasts who carry out their own tuning work, club competitors who want to always have key consumables on hand, and any driver who values the electrical reliability of their car above any other improvement.

Frequently asked questions

What scale is this cable designed for?

It is aimed at slot cars in 1/32 scale, which is the most common scale in competition and recreational club use.

Can I use this cable with any brand of slot car?

In principle, yes, as long as the diameter and type of terminal are compatible with your guide's connectors. Check the measurements before crimping.

How many complete cables can I make with this kit?

With 1 metre of cable and 10 terminals, you can prepare several cables depending on the length required for each chassis. In standard preparations, the metre allows for multiple cuts.

Do I need to solder the terminals or is crimping sufficient?

The terminals are designed for crimping. However, some preparers add a solder point to ensure maximum reliability in competition.

How often should I check the wiring of the guide?

It is recommended to check it every certain number of sessions or whenever power losses or erratic behaviours are detected that cannot be explained by the condition of the braids or the motor.

The NSR4824 guide cable kit (1 metre + 10 terminals) is an essential slot car spare part for 1/32 scale preparation. It ensures reliable electrical connection between the guide's braid and the motor, preventing power loss and intermittent cut-outs. A must-have consumable for slot car tuning, club racing maintenance, and workshop setups.
