Guide blocker for cleaning braids

Cleaning Braids Without Complications or Getting Your Tyres Dirty

Any driver who takes care of their slot car knows how important it is to keep the braids in perfect condition. A good electrical contact between the braids and the track makes a difference in the car's response, especially on club circuits where consistency is everything. The common problem when cleaning is that the dirt collected ends up where it is least wanted: on the rear tyres.

Function and Performance

The SP143261 guide blocker from Sloting Plus directly addresses this issue. Its function is to securely and stably hold the guide while you clean the braids, ensuring that all the dirt is retained on the plate and does not migrate to the rear tyres. A small detail, but one that makes a real difference in the maintenance process.

Assembly and Preparation

The use is immediate: place the blocker over the guide before starting the cleaning, immobilising it. This allows you to work comfortably on the braids without the guide moving and without the risk of contaminating other parts of the car. No additional tools or modifications to the chassis are required.

Ideal for…

• Club racers who perform regular maintenance between sessions or races.
• Hobbyists who prepare their cars at home and want a clean and organised cleaning process.
• Any scale or chassis that uses a standard guide with braids.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is this guide blocker for?

It is used to immobilise the guide of the slot car while you clean the braids. This way, the dirt removed during cleaning stays on the plate and does not fall or drag onto the rear tyres.

Is it compatible with any type of guide?

The information provided by the manufacturer does not specify specific compatibilities by guide type. If you have doubts about whether it is compatible with your model, we recommend checking before placing your order.

Do I need any additional tools to use it?

No. The blocker is designed for direct and simple use, without the need for additional tools.

How often should I clean the braids?

It depends on usage and the type of track. In club sessions or on circuits with heavy traffic, cleaning before each session or between runs is a common practice to ensure optimal electrical contact.

The Sloting Plus SP143261 guide blocker is a practical slot car maintenance tool designed to hold the guide firmly in place while cleaning the braid contacts, preventing dirt from reaching the rear tyres. An essential accessory for club racers and hobbyists who demand clean, precise maintenance of their slot cars.
