EVO tyre cleaning plate

The evolution of T800 in tyre and braid maintenance for slot

The EVO Cleaning Plate (ref. T870029) from T800 is this brand's response to the demanding maintenance required by competition and the regular practice of slot racing. Compared to previous models, this version expands the working surface to gain stability during setup and features a completely redesigned lateral design that ensures an ergonomic and firm grip, preventing accidental movements while handling the car.

Two cleaning systems in one tool

What distinguishes the EVO plate is its dual approach, eliminating the need to switch tools between tasks:

• High-quality fiberglass brushes: ideal for the mechanical cleaning of braids. Their height is precisely adjustable via an Allen screw, allowing us to adapt them to the wear level of each braid or the specific type we are preparing.
• Moisture-wicking textile rail: designed to apply cleaning fluid and remove chemical residues and deep deposits from tyres. Chemical and mechanical cleaning are integrated into a single working base.

Features and highlights

• Enlarged working surface for greater stability of the car during maintenance.
• Renovated lateral design with non-slip ergonomic grip.
• Adjustable height of fiberglass brushes via Allen screw.
• Integrated textile rail compatible with standard cleaning fluid.
• Suitable for the maintenance of both tyres and braids.

Who is it designed for?

This tool fits perfectly in the workspace of any driver who cares about their car's performance: from the hobbyist who prepares their cars at home to the club competitor seeking repeatability and consistency in each session. A clean tyre ensures the grip we need; a braid in good condition guarantees uninterrupted electrical contact. The EVO plate addresses both fronts with a single tool.

Assembly and preparation

The adjustment of the brush height is done with a simple Allen screw, without the need for additional tools. For chemical cleaning, simply moisten the textile rail with the usual cleaning fluid and rest the tyre for the necessary time. The enlarged base makes it easier to work with the complete car without the risk of it tipping or sliding during the process.

Frequently asked questions

What type of braids is this plate suitable for?

The fiberglass brushes are compatible with the most common types of braid in slot racing. Thanks to the height adjustment via Allen screw, we can adapt the pressure and position to different thicknesses or wear states.

What cleaning fluid should I use on the textile rail?

The textile rail is compatible with standard cleaning fluids available in the slot market. The manufacturer does not specify a particular brand, so it is advisable to use the one you already regularly employ in your workshop. Apply it sparingly to avoid saturating the textile.

Can it be used only for tyres or also for braids?

The two systems are independent within the same base: you can use the textile rail for tyres and the fiberglass brushes for braids, in any order you prefer and without any constraints between them.

What improvements does the EVO version introduce compared to the previous plate?

The EVO version expands the working surface for greater stability and redesigns the lateral grip for a more ergonomic and secure hold. These are two improvements directly aimed at comfort and efficiency during the maintenance process.

Do I need any tools to adjust the brushes?

You only need an Allen key of the appropriate size for the adjustment screw. It is a basic tool that is already part of any slot workshop kit.

The T800 EVO tyre cleaning station (ref. T870029) is a professional-grade slot car maintenance tool combining fiberglass brush braid cleaning and a textile rail for chemical tyre cleaning in a single ergonomic base. Adjustable brush height via Allen screw, enlarged working surface, and anti-slip lateral grip make it an essential pit lane tool for slot car racing enthusiasts and club competitors looking to keep tyres and braids in peak condition.
