Lola T70 Hard Chassis (Grey)

The grey hard chassis from Thunderslot for the Lola T70: adjust stiffness and fine-tune every corner

When it comes to maximising the potential of a slot car, the choice of chassis is one of the most influential factors on track behaviour. Thunderslot knows this well, which is why it offers this replacement chassis in a hard version —identified by its grey colour— specifically designed for the Lola T70 in its catalogue.

Function and performance

The hardness of the chassis determines how the car responds to track irregularities and how loads are distributed in corners. A hard chassis provides greater structural stiffness, resulting in a more direct and predictable response, especially on technical tracks with fast corners and pronounced elevation changes. It is the usual choice when seeking precision and stability over the flexibility of softer versions.

Compatibility

This chassis (reference TH-CHS001G) is the original replacement from Thunderslot for the Lola T70 model. Its installation is straightforward, requiring no adaptations, while maintaining the original geometry and dimensions of the car.

Installation and preparation

As an original replacement part, the substitution process is simple for any enthusiast with basic experience in slot car maintenance. It allows for the reuse of all components from the original car: guide, braids, motor, axles, and tyres. It is also the ideal starting point for those looking to build a second rolling chassis with a different configuration from the standard.

When to choose the hard chassis?

• When the track is technical and demands precision in turning.
• If the car tends to flex excessively with the soft chassis and loses trajectory.
• For those who prefer a firmer feel in control and a more immediate response.
• As a base for a second setup with tuning differentiated from the original.

Common mistakes

The main mistake when working with chassis of different hardness is not adjusting the rest of the setup —guide height, braid pressure, tyre hardness— accordingly. A well-utilised hard chassis requires the assembly to be balanced; otherwise, it may penalise grip instead of improving it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the hard and soft chassis in the Thunderslot Lola T70?

The hard version (grey) offers greater structural stiffness, with a more direct and stable response. The soft version allows for more flex, which can enhance grip on tracks with many irregularities or slow corners.

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

It is designed for the Thunderslot Lola T70. If you have questions about compatibility with a specific version of your car, please consult us before placing your order.

Can I transfer all components from my original car to this chassis?

Yes. As it is an original replacement, the guide, braids, motor, axles, and tyres from the car mount directly without modification.

Do I need special tools for the installation?

No. The installation is standard for slot cars in this range and does not require special tools, although having a precision screwdriver and a setup bench always makes the job easier.

Does it make sense to have several chassis with different hardness?

Absolutely. Many enthusiasts and club competitors maintain two rolling chassis set up with different chassis hardness to quickly adapt to different tracks or racing conditions.

The Thunderslot TH-CHS001G is the hard grey replacement chassis for the Lola T70 slot car. Designed for stiffness and precise handling, it's an essential spare part for slot car enthusiasts looking to tune their setup. Compatible with all Thunderslot Lola T70 models, this chassis swap allows quick configuration changes to match different track layouts and racing conditions.
