Racing guide with screw

The advanced guide that makes a difference in your slot car's response

The SICH85 advanced racing guide with screw is a tuning replacement designed for those who want to maximise the performance of their slot car on the track. The forward position of the guide compared to the standard one modifies the pivot point of the vehicle, directly affecting how it reacts to changes in direction on the track.

Function and performance

The guide is the component of the slot car that keeps it anchored to the track and, at the same time, conducts electrical current to the braids. An advanced guide shifts that contact point towards the front of the chassis, which can translate into greater stability in fast corners and a more responsive feel in chicanes and technical sections.

The included screw facilitates installation and ensures a firm hold, preventing play that could affect electrical performance or handling.

Installation and preparation

• Remove the original guide from the chassis by loosening its attachment.
• Place the SICH85 advanced guide in the corresponding position on the chassis.
• Secure it with the included screw, ensuring there is no lateral play.
• Check that the braids make good contact with the internal rails of the guide before closing the chassis.
• Make a slow pass over the track to verify that the guide does not rub against the rail in tight corners.

Considerations

When installing an advanced guide, the car's behaviour changes compared to the standard configuration. It is advisable to also adjust the ballast and the position of the braids to make the most of the new geometry. Test in short sessions before finalising the setup for your competition or club use.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a standard guide and an advanced guide?

The advanced guide positions the anchor point to the track closer to the front of the car. This modifies the behaviour in corners: it generally provides greater stability in fast lines and can make the car more responsive in sharp direction changes, although the final result depends on the chassis and the type of track.

Does the screw come included with the guide?

Yes, the SICH85 reference includes the fixing screw, so you do not need to look for additional screws for basic installation.

What types of track is this guide compatible with?

The provided information does not specify specific track compatibilities. We recommend consulting with our team or reviewing the manufacturer's specifications before placing an order if you have doubts about compatibility with your track.

Is it suitable for club racing?

An advanced guide is precisely one of the most common modifications in preparing cars for club racing. Check that your championship regulations allow its use before installing it on a race car.

Do I need to adjust the braids when changing the guide?

It is highly recommended to check the braids after changing the guide. A new support point can alter the pressure and contact angle of the braids with the track rails, which directly influences current capture and running consistency.

The SICH85 advanced racing guide with screw is a slot car tuning part designed to shift the guide's pivot point forward, improving cornering stability and directional response on the track. Compatible with standard slot car guide mounts, it includes the fixing screw for straightforward installation. An ideal upgrade for club racing preparation and chassis fine-tuning.
