Lola T70 Can Am Hard Chassis (Grey)

The hard chassis for the Thunderslot Lola T70 Can Am: when stiffness makes the difference

Having the right chassis is not a minor detail: it is the foundation upon which the car's behaviour on track rests. Thunderslot, known for the attention to detail with which it develops its models, offers this specific replacement chassis for the Lola T70 Can Am in its hard (grey) variant, reference TH-CHS002G. An option designed both to replace a damaged chassis and to experiment with different stiffness configurations.

Function and performance

The chassis is the structural element that defines how all the components of the car work together: guide, braids, motor, axle, and tyres. The hard version of this chassis reduces the flex of the assembly, resulting in a more direct and predictable response, especially on technical circuits with tight corners or on tracks that require stable geometry.

• High stiffness: less torsion in corners, greater consistency in trajectory.
• Grey finish: immediate visual identification compared to other stiffness levels in the Thunderslot catalogue.
• Specifically manufactured for the Thunderslot Lola T70 Can Am.

Compatibility

This chassis is designed exclusively for the Thunderslot Lola T70 Can Am model. Before assembly, it is advisable to verify that the reference of the base car matches that indicated by the manufacturer for this replacement, as Thunderslot may have different variants of the T70.

Assembly and preparation

Changing the chassis on a slot car requires some experience in disassembling and readjusting components. We recommend:

1. Carefully disassemble all components from the original chassis: guide, braids, motor, rear axle, and tyres.
2. Transfer each piece to the new chassis while respecting the original tolerances.
3. Check the alignment of the rear axle and the play of the guide before the first track test.
4. Adjust the height of the guide if necessary to ensure good contact with the rail.

If you switch from a flexible chassis to this hard one, you will notice differences in behaviour from the first lap: the car will respond more immediately but will require somewhat more precise driving.

Ideal for…

• Club competitors looking to optimise the setup of their Lola T70 Can Am.
• Enthusiasts needing to replace a damaged chassis without losing the original performance of the model.
• Tuners experimenting with different stiffness levels to find the optimal point according to the type of circuit.

Aspects to consider

A stiffer chassis is not always the universal option: on very uneven tracks or with a lot of raised rail, a more flexible chassis may offer greater traction by adapting better to the track profile. The hard version excels on well-leveled, high-speed circuits where stability takes precedence over the absorption of irregularities.

Frequently asked questions

Is this chassis compatible with all Thunderslot Lola T70 models?

It is designed for the Thunderslot Lola T70 Can Am. If you have doubts about the specific variant of your model, consult the reference of your car with the manufacturer or with our team before making the change.

What is the difference between the hard chassis and the flexible one?

The hard chassis (grey) offers greater structural stiffness, improving cornering precision and high-speed stability. The flexible one absorbs track irregularities better and can provide more traction on imperfect circuits. The choice depends on the type of track and driving style.

Do I need special tools to assemble it?

Professional tools are not necessary, but it is advisable to have precision screwdrivers, pliers, and some experience in handling slot cars. A poor adjustment of the axle or guide can affect the performance of the model.

Can I use this chassis on universal track (Scalextric, Ninco) and on Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it)?

The compatibility of the chassis with the type of track depends on the installed guide, not on the chassis itself. This component does not alter the original guide; consult the specifications of your Lola T70's guide to confirm compatibility with your track system.

Does the grey colour indicate only the stiffness or does it have another function?

The grey colour is a visual code that Thunderslot uses to identify the stiffness of this chassis within its spare parts range, facilitating quick selection without the need to consult the reference each time.

The Thunderslot TH-CHS002G is a hard replacement chassis for the Lola T70 Can Am slot car, finished in grey to distinguish it from softer variants. Designed for club racers and slot car enthusiasts looking to tune chassis stiffness for improved stability and lap consistency.
