Function and performance
The special screws from Sloting Plus are designed to provide the optimal tightening point without damaging the car's components. The 1.45 mm tip allows access to hard-to-reach areas or parts that require controlled pressure, which is common in slot chassis and mounts where every tenth of a millimetre counts.
Compatibility
As a component from the Sloting Plus range of spare parts and tools, this screw is aimed at preparers and enthusiasts who regularly work with materials and parts from this brand. Check compatibility with your specific chassis or set before proceeding with assembly.
Assembly and preparation
To get the most out of this type of special screws, we recommend always using the appropriate tools for the tip size and applying the correct torque: not too loose, which would create play, and not too tight, which could damage the thread or the receiving part. In competition, regular checks on the screw's condition are part of the car's routine maintenance.
Common mistakes
- Using incorrectly sized tools, which can damage the screw head.
- Over-tightening in soft materials like plastic or resin, risking stripping the thread.
- Not verifying the exact size before replacing a damaged screw, which can lead to confusion between similarly sized parts.
