The Sloting Plus EVO PCS 7 mm Guide: Precision and Grip on Universal Track
The Universal EVO PCS 7 mm Guide (SP101003) is one of the most established preparation spare parts in the Sloting Plus catalogue. Made from high-strength nylon, it is designed to provide stable and consistent guidance on universal track, keeping the car on the rail even under the most demanding club racing conditions.
Main Features
- Material: high-strength nylon.
- Depth: 7 mm, suitable for universal tracks with a good slot depth.
- Fixing: 1 screw included per guide.
- Connectors: 2 connectors included per guide, ready to solder or connect the braids.
- Contents of the bag: 2 units.
- Reference: SP101003.
Compatibility
This guide is designed to work with universal track, the system used by brands such as Scalextric and Ninco. It is a common choice among preparers looking to improve the original guidance of cars that come with guides of lesser depth or poorer quality nylon.
Installation and Preparation
Installation is straightforward and does not require special tools. The guide includes the two connectors necessary to join the braids, so the system is complete with the components included in the bag. Before installing, it is advisable to check that the guide holder of the chassis is compatible with the anchoring of this reference and that the 7 mm depth is suitable for the type of track on which it will be run.
A detail to consider: on tracks with shallow rails, a 7 mm guide may touch the bottom. Always check the depth of your circuit before choosing this reference.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing universal track with Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it): the measurements and tolerances are different. This guide is intended for the former.
- Not checking the lateral play of the guide holder before mounting: excessive play can negate the advantages of a well-prepared guide.
- Over-tightening the fixing screw, which can cause micro-cracks in the nylon and reduce the lifespan of the part.
