Rally guide

The Avant Slot rally guide: total compatibility with your rally and raid chassis

When a slot car loses traction or disconnects from the track, often the culprit is a worn or damaged guide. This rally guide from Avant Slot (ref. AV20543) solves that problem with a specific replacement, designed to fit directly into all the brand's rally and raid chassis, without adjustments or modifications.

Function and performance

The guide is the element that anchors the car to the track and transmits electrical current from the track to the motor through the braids. A guide in good condition ensures stable driving, a clean response to the controller, and continuous electrical contact. With intensive use —especially on circuits with tight corners and elevation changes typical of rally layouts— the guide suffers wear and it is advisable to have spares on hand.

Compatibility

• Compatible with all Avant Slot rally and raid chassis.
• Direct replacement, no modifications needed.

Installation and preparation

Changing the guide is one of the simplest operations in the maintenance of a slot car. Remove the used guide, check the condition of the braids, and install the new one ensuring it is well seated in its housing. Take the opportunity to also check the depth of the guide and adjust it if the chassis allows, seeking the optimal grip point without rubbing against the bodywork.

Common mistakes

• Not checking the braids when changing the guide: if the braids are rusty or bent, the new guide will not improve electrical contact. Replace them if necessary.
• Forcing the fit: the guide should fit smoothly into its housing. If there is resistance, check for any remnants of the previous guide.
• Ignoring progressive wear: in long competition sessions, the guide may wear asymmetrically. Check it periodically.

Is it compatible with Scalextric or Ninco tracks (universal track)?

When should I change the guide on my slot car?

When you notice frequent loss of contact, erratic behaviour on track, or visible wear on the bottom of the guide. In competition, many drivers check it after each long running session.

Do I need special tools for installation?

In most cases, a fine flat screwdriver or simply your fingers will suffice, depending on the chassis fastening system. No specialized tools are required.
