SC-3DP Racing guide with screw. Dimensions: 24.3x9mm depth and stem of ø3.5mm.

The SC-3DP Racing guide from Scaleauto: precision and adherence to the track on wooden circuits

The reference SC-1654C from Scaleauto is a proprietary guide, developed under the brand's 3DP Racing programme, designed to extract maximum performance on routed wooden circuits. Its geometry is intended to maintain a firm and constant contact with the track, an essential condition on surfaces where channel tolerance demands precision components.

Technical specifications

• Dimensions: 24.3 × 9 mm depth
• Stem: ø 3.5 mm
• Screw: included in the pack
• Application: especially suitable for wooden tracks
• Contents: bag of 2 units

Function and performance

The guide is the point of contact between the car and the track: its adjustment affects corner stability, response to direction changes, and, to a large extent, the transmission of the electrical signal through the braids. A guide with the appropriate dimensions for the type of track eliminates unwanted play and reduces deviations in fast sections.

The 3DP Racing design from Scaleauto optimises the relationship between stem height and blade width to adapt to the common channels of wooden tracks, where the surface finish and groove depth differ significantly from plastic tracks. The result is a guide that operates smoothly without sacrificing lateral grip.

Compatibility and installation

The ø 3.5 mm stem is compatible with standard housing of Scaleauto chassis and most plastic or resin chassis that use that anchoring diameter. The included screw facilitates secure attachment without the need for additional materials. Before installation, it is advisable to check that the total length of the guide fits the clearance under the chassis to avoid rubbing against the track.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts competing in clubs with routed wooden circuits.
• Preparers looking to replace the stock guide with a part that has tighter tolerances.
• Drivers wanting to standardise the set-up of multiple cars with the same type of guide.

Considerations

This guide is optimised for wooden tracks. On plastic circuits of the UNIVERSAL type (Scalextric, Ninco) or SPORT track (Scaleauto, Slot.it), performance may vary depending on the depth and finish of each manufacturer's channel; always check dimensional compatibility before installing it in competition.

Frequently asked questions

How many guides are included in the SC-1654C pack?

The bag contains 2 units, along with the corresponding fixing screw.

What type of track is this guide designed for?

It is especially indicated for routed wooden tracks, where the channel geometry requires a guide with precise dimensions to ensure proper guiding and electrical transmission.

Is the screw included?

Yes, the pack includes the fixing screw, allowing for direct installation without the need for additional components.

What diameter is the stem?

The stem measures ø 3.5 mm, a standard size compatible with numerous chassis on the market that use that anchoring diameter.

Can I use this guide on plastic tracks?

It is specifically designed for wood. It may work on plastic tracks, but we recommend verifying that the dimensions fit correctly in the channel before using it in a race.

Which chassis is it compatible with?

It is compatible with the ø 3.5 mm stem housings commonly found in Scaleauto chassis and other market chassis that share that measurement. If you have doubts about your specific chassis, consult the manufacturer's specifications.
