Features and function
- Screw fastening: secure and adjustable fixation, without relying on clips or pressures that may give way with use.

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.
