Rally guide with spring and screw

The Avant Slot rally guide: small part, big difference on track

The AV20565 rally guide with spring and screw is an original spare part from Avant Slot for 1/32 scale, designed for those who pay attention to every detail of their car. The set comes complete: rally guide, return spring, and fixing screw, all ready to assemble without the need to search for additional parts.

Function and performance

The guide is the component that keeps the car aligned on the track and transmits the current from the track to the braids. In the rally format, the guide features a greater height than the standard guide, making it particularly suitable for bodies with higher ground clearance, such as rally cars or road vehicles with elevated chassis.

The included return spring ensures that the guide returns to its central position after each turn, improving stability and reducing derailments during sharp direction changes. The fixing screw completes the set and allows for precise tightening to adjust the vertical play of the guide according to the driver's preferences or the demands of the track layout.

Compatibility and assembly

This guide is designed for Avant Slot models in 1/32 scale that use this rally guide format. If you have doubts about whether it fits your specific model, consult the original reference of your car or contact us before placing your order.

Assembly is straightforward: remove the worn guide, place the spring in its housing, insert the new guide, and tighten the screw with the appropriate play. A guide that is too tight limits pivoting; too loose, it causes instability. The right point is marked by the track itself during the first test laps.

Common mistakes when replacing the guide

• Not checking the braids when changing the guide: if the braids are worn, the conductivity issue persists even if the guide is new.
• Over-tightening the screw: this locks the movement of the guide and reduces the ability to follow the track in tight corners.
• Omitting the spring: without the return spring, the guide does not return to the central position and the car loses traceability.
• Confusing standard guide with rally guide: the height of the guide must match the chassis housing. Always use the correct reference for your model.

Ideal for…

This spare part is the ally of the driver who keeps their cars always in top condition. If you compete in club championships with 1/32 Avant Slot cars or simply want to restore a car that has lost its guide, this complete set saves you time and ensures that no parts are missing at the time of assembly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of the spring included with this spare part?

The return spring keeps the guide centred on the track when the car is not in a turn. Without it, the guide can move laterally unpredictably and increase the risk of derailment.

Can I use this rally guide on any Avant Slot 1/32 car?

Not necessarily. The rally guide has a specific height designed for models with greater ground clearance. We recommend checking that your car uses this format before replacing it.

Does it work on Scalextric or Ninco tracks?

The guide is compatible with universal rail systems (Scalextric, Ninco), as long as the chassis housing of your car accommodates this type of guide. The track itself does not dictate the type of guide, but rather the car's chassis.

How often should the guide be replaced?

It depends on usage and the type of track. On abrasive tracks or with intense rolling, it is advisable to check the wear of the guide every few sessions. A worn guide causes loss of contact with the track and reduced conductivity.

Do I need special tools for assembly?

No. A screwdriver suitable for the included screw is sufficient. The process is simple and does not require modifying the chassis.

The Avant Slot AV20565 rally guide with spring and screw is an original 1/32 scale spare part designed to ensure precise rail contact and optimal conductivity. A must-have replacement for Avant Slot slot car enthusiasts looking to maintain peak performance on track. Compatible with universal rail systems including Scalextric and Ninco layouts.
