Fibreglass suspension bar for CH47C

Fibreglass where it matters most: the suspension bar SICH127 for the Slot.it CH47C chassis

Slot.it designs its spare parts with the same rigor as its competition cars, and the suspension bar SICH127 is no exception. Made from fibreglass, this component is designed to fit directly into the CH47C chassis, maintaining the suspension geometry within the parameters defined by the brand for that model.

Function and performance

The suspension bar is the element that articulates and limits the movement of the body relative to the floating chassis, directly contributing to the car's stability in corners and the consistency of the guide's contact with the track. A worn or deformed bar can result in erratic behaviour, loss of electrical contact, or erratic response during braking. Replacing it with an original Slot.it part ensures the restoration of factory performance.

The use of fibreglass instead of conventional plastic offers a very favourable stiffness-to-weight ratio: it withstands mechanical fatigue from long sessions without adding unnecessary grams to the assembly.

Compatibility

This suspension bar is specific to the CH47C chassis from Slot.it. Before placing your order, verify that your chassis corresponds exactly to that reference, as Slot.it has different generations and variants of chassis that may have slightly different geometries.

Assembly and preparation

The replacement is straightforward: remove the worn or damaged bar following the same disassembly process of the CH47C chassis and place the new one in its position. No special tools are required. It is advisable to also check the condition of the anchors and support points of the chassis to ensure that the assembly works cohesively.

If you are adjusting the ride height or experimenting with different suspension configurations, this type of original part is the most reliable starting point before exploring more advanced modifications.

Common mistakes

• Confusing the CH47C reference with other variants of the CH47 chassis. Always check the suffix of your chassis.
• Reusing a visibly bent bar or one with micro-cracks: although it may seem functional, it can break on track and cause greater damage.
• Not checking the anchor points when installing the new part, which may cause the behaviour issue to persist even if the bar is correct.

Frequently asked questions

What chassis is the SICH127 reference specific to?

This suspension bar is designed exclusively for the CH47C chassis from Slot.it. Its compatibility with other chassis references from the brand is not guaranteed.

Why fibreglass and not plastic?

Fibreglass offers greater structural rigidity and better resistance to repetitive mechanical fatigue than conventional plastic, without significantly increasing the weight of the assembly. It is a common choice in competition spare parts aimed at durability and consistent performance.

How often should this part be checked or replaced?

It depends on usage. In intense competition sessions or if the car has experienced hard off-track incidents, it is advisable to visually inspect it. At any sign of deformation or micro-crack, it is recommended to replace it without waiting for it to fail on track.

Can I use this bar to modify the ride height of the chassis?

The SICH127 bar is the original factory part for the CH47C. Any geometric modification that involves altering it falls outside Slot.it's specifications; in that case, it is preferable to explore the adjustment options that the brand itself offers for that chassis.

The Slot.it SICH127 is a fibreglass suspension bar specifically designed for the CH47C chassis. A direct OEM replacement part, it ensures the original suspension geometry and handling consistency that Slot.it racing chassis are known for. Lightweight, rigid, and fatigue-resistant, it is the go-to spare part for club racers and hobbyists looking to restore their car's factory performance. Available at Ministry of Hobby with fast international shipping.
