Complete guide for use with M2 terminals or screws

A BRM guide designed for those who leave nothing to chance

The reference BRM-S026SS is a replacement guide from the BRM Model Cars catalogue specifically designed for the 1/32 scale. Its distinguishing feature is a dual connection system that allows for the adaptation of the braid attachment to the type of use: from quick setups to configurations aimed at the most demanding competition.

Function and performance

The guide is the component that keeps the car secured on the track and transmits electrical current from the braids to the motor. A good fit at this point is crucial for cornering stability, throttle response, and electrical continuity throughout the race.

The BRM-S026SS meets this requirement with an optimised profile that reduces friction with the track, facilitates corner entry, and minimises unexpected track departures.

Dual connection system: terminals or M2 screws

What sets this guide apart from other options on the market is its versatile attachment:

• With terminals (eyelets): quick and easy installation, ideal for workshop setups or when the guide needs to be replaced swiftly between heats.
• With M2 screws: maximum security attachment. The screw ensures that the wire and braid maintain stable electrical contact even under continuous vibrations, a clear advantage in endurance races or on tracks with high-speed sections.

This dual option allows the same component to serve both the hobbyist assembling their car at home and the driver fine-tuning every detail before a club race.

Compatibility and installation

The BRM-S026SS is catalogued as a guide replacement for the 1/32 scale within the official BRM catalogue. Its deep and robust profile design makes it a common reference among tuners seeking greater grip and stability on the track compared to thinner profile guides.

Before installing it, check that your chassis's guide housing accommodates this profile. If you have any doubts about compatibility with your specific model, please consult us.

Material

Manufactured from high-performance technopolymer, a technical plastic that combines mechanical strength with a low friction coefficient. This translates to smooth sliding on the track and an extended lifespan even with intensive use.

Common mistakes when installing a guide

• Over-tightening the M2 screw can deform the guide or hinder its pivoting. A firm but not forced tightening is sufficient.
• Installing the braids with uneven tension causes irregular electrical contact. Adjust both sides with the same pressure.
• Not cleaning the track before running with a new guide can transfer dirt to the technopolymer and increase friction from the outset.

Frequently asked questions

What scale is the BRM-S026SS guide designed for?

It is catalogued as a replacement for the 1/32 scale within the BRM Model Cars system.

What is the difference between securing the braids with terminals or with M2 screws?

Terminals allow for quicker and easier mounting. M2 screws provide greater security in electrical contact, especially under intensive use conditions or long races where vibrations can loosen a less robust attachment.

Can both systems be used at the same time?

No. The guide is designed to use one or the other system for each installation. Choose the one that best suits your way of preparing the car and the type of competition.

What type of braids is it compatible with?

It is compatible with standard braids for guides of this profile. Check the BRM spare parts catalogue or contact us if you need to confirm a specific braid reference.

When should the guide be replaced?

When you observe visible wear on the guide body, loss of smooth pivoting, or unexplained speed drops that are not corrected by adjusting the braids. A worn guide is one of the most common causes of instability on the track.

The BRM-S026SS is a high-performance slot car guide for 1/32 scale, featuring a dual connection system compatible with standard eyelets or M2 screws for securing braids. Made from high-resistance technopolymer, it delivers smooth sliding on the rail and reliable electrical contact under racing conditions. A must-have spare part for BRM Model Cars enthusiasts looking for precision and durability on the track.
