Sheet with gauge 0.6 mm

Chassis Adjustment with the Precision Required for Slot Racing

When the regulations specify tenths of a millimetre, there is no room for improvisation. The 0.6 mm gauge board from T800 is the tool used by the most demanding preparers to check the chassis clearance before putting the car on the grid. A fixed reference, a flat surface, and all the peace of mind you need to know that the adjustment is correct.

Function and Performance

The integrated 0.6 mm gauge in the board acts as a physical reference for the minimum height the car must maintain relative to the track. By placing the vehicle on the flat surface of the tool, you can quickly check if the chassis is scraping, if the front suspension is excessive, or if the motor mount needs a final adjustment before homologation.

• Perfectly flat surface for stable and repeatable measurements.
• 0.6 mm gauge incorporated as a fixed reference stop.
• Allows verification of front height, suspension movement, and overall chassis level.
• Professional tool from the T800 brand, designed for the competition workshop.

Applications in the Slot Workshop

This board is particularly useful in the moments leading up to a club race or a homologation session, when it is necessary to confirm that the car is not too low and will not scrape on the rail. It is also an ally during bench preparation: it allows detection of deformations in the chassis, adjustment of suspension springs, and establishment of a consistent working height between sessions.

Similarly, preparers working with multiple cars at once use it as a reference pattern, ensuring that all team vehicles start from the same dimensions before fine-tuning individual configurations.

Assembly and Preparation

The use is straightforward: place the board on a level surface, position the car on top, and slide the gauge under the point you want to measure. It requires no prior calibration or additional accessories. Its intuitive handling makes it accessible for both hobbyists starting to prepare their cars and drivers with years of experience seeking the limits of the regulations.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers and preparers competing under regulations with minimum chassis height.
• Slot workshops that need a quick and reliable reference during setup.
• Hobbyists who want to take their car adjustments to the next level of precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 0.6 mm gauge measure exactly?

The 0.6 mm gauge establishes the minimum distance between the bottom of the chassis (or motor mount) and the track surface. By sliding it under the car, you can confirm whether that space is equal to, greater than, or less than the regulatory reference value.

Is it suitable for any scale or rail system?

Yes. The board functions as a reference surface regardless of the rail system (Scalextric, Ninco, Scaleauto, Slot.it…) and the scale of the car. What varies according to the regulations of each category is whether 0.6 mm is the required measurement; always check the rules of your championship.

Can I also use it to check the flatness of the chassis?

Yes. By placing the car on a flat reference surface like this board, it is easy to detect if the chassis has any twist or if all four wheels do not contact evenly, allowing for intervention before it affects track performance.

Is it necessary to combine it with other workshop tools?

It depends on the level of preparation you are seeking. For basic height verification, it is sufficient on its own. If you also want to fine-tune the geometry, weight, or balance of the car, it is advisable to complement it with other workshop tools from the T800 range.

How often should I use it?

The ideal is to incorporate it into the preparation routine before each race session or whenever a modification is made to the chassis or motorisation. This ensures that the car always complies with the regulatory dimensions.

The T800 0.6 mm gauge setup board (ref. T870066) is a precision slot car chassis tool designed for serious racers and club-level competition. It provides a perfectly flat reference surface with a fixed 0.6 mm thickness gauge, allowing accurate verification of minimum ride height, motor pod clearance and chassis flex. A reliable, professional-grade workshop tool for slot car setup and technical scrutineering.
