The advanced screw guide from Sideways: precise control over the track

The advanced racing guide with screw SWPU02B from Sideways is a preparation piece designed to provide a solid and stable connection between the car and the track. Its screw fastening system ensures that the guide is perfectly secured, preventing play that could affect performance in corners or on elevation changes.

Features and function

• Screw fastening: secure and adjustable fixation, without relying on clips or pressures that may give way with use.
• Universal design: compatible with multiple Sideways models and other brands, making it a versatile spare part for the preparation workshop.
• Advanced racing profile: optimised to maintain constant contact with the track, improving stability and current pickup through the braids.

Compatibility

Thanks to its universal design, this guide is suitable for Scalextric and Ninco type tracks, as well as other common configurations in the hobby. Always check the depth of the housing in your car's chassis before installation to ensure a correct fit.

Installation and preparation

Installation is straightforward: insert the guide into the chassis housing and secure it with the included screw or the one corresponding to your model. Adjust the tightness so that the guide has a slight vertical play —enough to follow the track profile without getting stuck— but without lateral play that could cause imprecision in steering.

It is advisable to periodically check the condition of the screw and the wear of the guide, especially during competition sessions or intensive training.

Whether you are preparing a car for club competition or looking for a reliable spare part to keep your Sideways models in perfect condition, the SWPU02B is a direct and practical option. Its universal design also makes it interesting as a backup spare in the case of any enthusiast working with different brands.
