Reynard 2KQ chassis

The chassis that brings life back to the Reynard 2KQ in every track session

The Reynard 2KQ EVO Chassis from Sloting Plus (SP001028) is a specific replacement designed to keep one of the most recognisable slot racing cars in optimal condition. Sloting Plus, a reference in spare parts and tuning tools for the slot hobby, offers this piece as a direct solution for those needing to replace or renew the chassis of their Reynard 2KQ without compromising the car's performance.

Function and performance

The chassis is the backbone of any slot car: it determines the rigidity of the assembly, the transmission of forces to the rear axle, and the car's response to direction changes. A chassis in good condition is essential to maintain correct geometry, avoid unwanted vibrations, and ensure that all components —motor, guide, braid, axle, and tyres— work in coordination.

The EVO version of this chassis represents an evolution from the original model, aimed at improving some of these functional aspects. It is recommended to check compatibility with existing components before assembly.

Compatibility

This chassis is specifically designed for the Reynard 2KQ model from Sloting Plus. If your car has suffered damage from track accidents, heat deformation, or simply has accumulated hours of running, this replacement allows you to restore the car's original geometry without needing to purchase a complete unit.

Assembly and preparation

For correct assembly, we recommend:

• Checking the condition of all components before transferring them to the new chassis: guide, braid, rear axle, and motor.
• Ensuring that the guide clearance is appropriate for the track you will be running on (Scalextric, Ninco, or similar).
• Verifying the tension of the braids after assembly to ensure clean and consistent electrical contact.
• Checking the alignment of the rear axle once assembled to avoid premature wear on tyres and crown gear.

Common mistakes

One of the most common mistakes when replacing a chassis is not checking the alignment of the motor and the tension of the crown gear with the pinion. A small misalignment in this relationship can result in power loss, excessive noise, or accelerated wear of both parts. Take the necessary time to make this adjustment calmly before heading out on track.

Ideal for…

This chassis is the logical choice for the enthusiast who wants to extend the lifespan of their Reynard 2KQ, both for recreational use and club competition. Having the correct spare chassis makes the difference between losing an entire session due to a stroke of bad luck or getting back on track in a matter of minutes.

Frequently asked questions

Is this chassis compatible with all versions of the Reynard 2KQ from Sloting Plus?

It is designed for the Reynard 2KQ model from Sloting Plus in its EVO version (SP001028). If you have doubts about compatibility with an earlier version of the same model, we recommend checking before placing your order.

Can I directly transfer all components from my old chassis to the new one?

Generally yes, as it is a direct replacement for the same model. However, it is advisable to check the condition of each component before mounting: guide, braids, axle, and motor. If any part is worn, it is the ideal time to renew it as well.

Does the chassis come ready to assemble or does it need prior preparation?

It usually comes ready for direct assembly of the components, but as with any slot preparation work, a prior review of tolerances and clearances always improves the final result on track.

Is it suitable for club competition or just for recreational use?

It can be used in both contexts. For competition, we recommend paying special attention to the adjustment of the crown gear-pinion ratio and the alignment of the rear axle after assembly.

Does Sloting Plus manufacture other spare parts compatible with this model?

Yes. Sloting Plus has a wide catalogue of spare parts and tuning tools that can complement this chassis: guides, braids, axles, crown gears, and pinions, among others.

The Sloting Plus Reynard 2KQ EVO chassis (SP001028) is a direct replacement part for slot car enthusiasts looking to restore or upgrade their Reynard 2KQ.
