Advanced guide with screw Rev.2

The guide that makes a difference when every millimetre counts

The Slot.it Advanced Guide with Screw Rev.2, reference SICH85D, is a direct evolution of the brand's standard guides. Wider and with a low profile, it offers a more stable contact base with the track, resulting in safer and more precise driving, especially in fast corners and sharp direction changes.

Features and function

• Wider and low-profile design: greater grip surface on the track and lower centre of gravity at the guide point.
• Screw fixing: allows for secure and repeatable adjustment, with no unwanted play between guide and chassis.
• Lateral openings for cable passage: facilitates tidy and tension-free wiring, reducing the possibility of mechanical interference.
• Rev.2 revision: second generation of the design, with improvements over the previous model.

Compatibility and mounting

This guide is designed to be mounted on Slot.it cars and is compatible with Sport tracks (Scaleauto, Slot.it). Thanks to its screw-fixing system, installation is straightforward and does not require special tools. We recommend checking that the screw is tightened properly before each racing session to avoid unwanted movement during the race.

Who is this component for?

Designed for both club preparers looking to fine-tune their cars' cornering response and enthusiasts wanting to keep their Slot.it models in perfect condition with original spare parts. Whether you are preparing a car for competition or simply replacing a worn guide, the SICH85D is the direct and reliable choice.

Common mistakes when changing the guide

• Not checking the lateral play of the guide on the track before finally tightening the screw.
• Passing the cable with too much tension, which can cause the guide not to rotate freely.
• Forgetting to check the condition of the braids when making the change: this is the ideal time to replace them if they show wear.

Frequently asked questions

Is this guide compatible with Scalextric or Ninco tracks?

It is optimised for Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it). On universal tracks like Scalextric or Ninco, there may be fitting differences; we recommend checking this before competing.

What advantage does the low profile offer compared to a standard guide?

The low profile reduces the height of the pivot point, improving the car's stability in corners and decreasing the risk of derailment during quick direction changes.

Is the screw included in the pack?

The guide includes the fixing screw, as indicated by its name. However, we recommend confirming this in the manufacturer's description or consulting us before placing an order.

When should I change the guide on my Slot.it car?

When you notice that the car loses direction, easily comes off the track in straight areas, or when the guide shows visible wear on the contact sides. A preventive change before an important race is always a good idea.

Can I use this guide on cars from other brands?

It depends on the chassis fixing system. Some chassis from other brands allow for the adaptation of Slot.it guides, but it is essential to verify mechanical compatibility before installation.
