Lola T70 Can Am Standard chassis

The original Thunderslot chassis to keep your Lola T70 Can Am always ready

The Lola T70 Can Am Standard Chassis (ref. TH-CHS002B) is the official replacement part from Thunderslot for their iconic Lola T70 model in the Can Am version. Manufactured in black, it faithfully reproduces the geometry and tolerances of the original chassis, ensuring that all components fit precisely and the car regains its stock behaviour.

Function and performance

The chassis is the backbone of any slot car: it determines the structural rigidity of the model, the correct alignment of the axles, and the transmission of power from the motor to the track. Having a chassis in good condition makes a significant difference in cornering stability, guide contact with the rail, and the overall grip of the car.

As it is the Standard chassis from Thunderslot, it respects the original configuration: ideal for both recreational use and for those who want to keep the car in its factory state before applying any additional tuning.

Compatibility

This chassis is specifically designed for the Thunderslot Lola T70 Can Am. It is the direct solution when the original chassis has breaks, deformations, or has simply reached the end of its useful life after intense running sessions. Being an official part of the brand, it requires no adaptations or modifications for assembly.

Assembly and preparation

The replacement process follows the same steps as the usual disassembly of any Thunderslot slot car: remove the body, disassemble the subassemblies (motor, rear axle, guide, braids, and wheels), and transfer them to the new chassis. It is recommended to take advantage of the operation to check the condition of the braids and guide, and replace them if they show wear.

Common mistakes

• Trying to force assembly with inappropriate tools can damage the chassis anchoring points. Use screwdrivers of the correct size.
• Do not reuse bent screws or those with damaged heads: take the opportunity of the chassis change to replace them.
• Ensure that the rear axle is perfectly centred before closing the assembly; even a slight misalignment can affect straight-line behaviour.

Frequently asked questions

Is this chassis compatible with all versions of the Thunderslot Lola T70?

It is specifically indicated for the Lola T70 Can Am. If you have a different version (for example, the Le Mans), please check the corresponding reference, as the geometry may vary.

What is the difference between the Standard chassis and other Thunderslot chassis variants?

The Standard version reproduces the original configuration of the model. Thunderslot may offer variants with different rigidity or geometry for competition applications, but this chassis is designed to keep the car in its factory state.

Do I need special tools for assembly?

No. A flat or Phillips screwdriver of the appropriate size is sufficient. Fine-tipped pliers facilitate the handling of smaller components.

Can I use this chassis as a base for competition preparations?

Yes. The Standard chassis is a good starting point. From there, you can apply any modifications you consider: motor change, guide adjustment, tyre replacement, etc., according to the regulations of the championship you participate in.

Does the black colour of the chassis have any technical function?

It is simply the factory finish of this reference. The colour does not affect the performance of the chassis.
