7mm M2 Body Floating System Screw Kit

M2 7mm Screws from Scaleauto for Body Floating System: the adjustment that makes the difference

When working with Scaleauto's Body Floating System, every component matters. This M2 7mm screw kit (ref. SC-5129E) is the joining piece specifically designed for the correct assembly of the Body Floating System, ensuring that the body anchors precisely and repeats its behaviour lap after lap.

Function and Performance

The Scaleauto Body Floating System allows the body to move independently of the chassis, reducing unsprung mass transfer and improving corner stability. For this system to function as intended, the securing screws must be correct in metric and length. With an M2 metric and 7mm length, this kit is sized to fit without excessive play or forced tightening, ensuring that the floating operates within its optimal range of motion.

Compatibility

This screw kit is designed for Scaleauto models and chassis that incorporate or are compatible with the Body Floating System. If you are preparing or repairing your Scaleauto car with this body system, be sure to check the specific reference of your model to confirm compatibility before assembly.

Assembly and Preparation

Assembly is straightforward, but it is advisable to keep a few points in mind:

• Use a screwdriver with a tip suitable for M2 size to avoid damaging the screw head.
• Do not over-tighten: the floating system needs freedom of movement; excessive tightening would negate its function.
• Periodically check the condition of the screws, especially after intense running sessions, to rule out loosening due to vibration.

Ideal for…

Club preparers and drivers working with Scaleauto chassis who want to keep their car in perfect racing condition. It is also the immediate solution when any of the original screws from the floating system are lost or damaged.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many screws are included in the kit?

The provided information does not specify the exact number of units included in the kit. We recommend checking the official Scaleauto datasheet or contacting us to confirm before placing your order.

What is the purpose of Scaleauto's Body Floating System?

It is a system that decouples the body from the chassis, allowing it to move independently. This reduces unsprung mass and improves the stability and handling of the car in corners, especially on Sport track surfaces.

Can I use generic M2 screws instead of this kit?

In principle, any M2 screw of the correct metric and length could work, but Scaleauto designs its kits with specific materials and finishes for their systems. Using the original kit ensures optimal fit and avoids compatibility issues or premature wear.

What tracks is the Body Floating System compatible with?

The system is primarily aimed at Sport track surfaces (Scaleauto, Slot.it), although the chassis behaviour can also be utilised in other configurations. The screws themselves are independent of the type of track; what matters is that the chassis is compatible with the Body Floating System.

The Scaleauto SC-5129E is a M2 7mm screw kit designed specifically for the Body Floating System, ensuring accurate body mounting on Scaleauto slot car chassis. An essential spare part for club racers and preppers who want to keep their floating body setup performing at its best, lap after lap.
