The forward guide that your Slot.it Lola LMPs were asking for
The Lola LMP Guide (ref. SICH73) from Slot.it is a replacement part specifically designed for the LMP chassis of the brand's Lola models. Its forward position compared to the standard guide improves cornering behaviour, and its clip-fixing system allows for quick changes in seconds, without additional tools.
Function and performance
The forward position of this guide is not a whim: in LMP prototype cars, shifting the contact point towards the front of the vehicle favours a more direct response to steering and helps maintain trajectory in fast corners. For those competing in clubs or simply wanting to get the most out of their Lola models on Sport track, this is the right guide.
The clip-fixing system is another success: it eliminates the need for screwdrivers during pit changes, which is especially appreciated during long sessions or when it needs to be replaced after an incident on track.
Compatibility
- Compatible with all Slot.it LMP models with Lola bodywork.
- Designed to work on Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it).
Installation and preparation
The clip installation is simple and intuitive: the used guide is removed by pulling the clip, and the new one is fitted until the fixing click is heard. It is advisable to check the condition of the braids when changing the guide, as both parts work together and should be replaced at the same time if they show wear.
Common mistakes
- Using this guide on non-LMP Slot.it models: the forward position may not match the geometry of other chassis from the brand, so compatibility should be verified before installation.
- Not checking the braids when changing the guide: worn braids can cause contact failures even if the guide is new.
Frequently asked questions
What difference does this guide have compared to a standard Slot.it guide?
The SICH73 has a forward position, making it specific for Lola LMP models. A standard guide would not fit correctly in the geometry of these chassis.
Is it compatible with Scalextric or Ninco track?
This guide is sized for Sport track (Slot.it, Scaleauto). For Universal track (Scalextric, Ninco), the track measurements should be checked against the depth of the guide.
Do I need tools to install it?
No. The clip-fixing system allows for installation and removal without tools, facilitating quick changes in the pits.
Are braids included in the pack?
The available information does not specify that braids are included; the SICH73 is only the guide. We recommend checking before placing the order if you also need to renew the braids.
