Guide spacers SC thickness 0.10mm

The adjustment of tenths makes a difference on track

When it comes to fine-tuning the guide height, the smallest details have the greatest impact. The SC-1651A spacers from Scaleauto, with a thickness of 0.10 mm, allow for precise millimetre adjustment of the SC guide position in 1/32 scale cars, seeking that exact point where the braids make perfect contact with the rail and the guide operates without play or unnecessary friction.

Function and performance

The guide height is one of the tuning parameters that most influences stability and current transmission. A guide that is too low rubs against the rail and penalises top speed; too high and the braids lose contact, resulting in power loss or current cuts in corners. These 0.10 mm spacers allow for adding or subtracting height in very fine increments until the ideal working point for each car and each circuit is found.

Compatibility

These spacers are specifically designed for the SC guide from Scaleauto. They are especially useful in cars prepared for Sport track (Scaleauto rail, Slot.it), although guide height adjustment is a common practice on any 1/32 circuit, including universal rail systems like Scalextric or Ninco, as long as the SC guide fits the corresponding chassis.

Assembly and preparation

The adjustment process is straightforward: one or more spacers are placed between the guide and the chassis until the desired height is reached. Working with increments of only 0.10 mm, the response on track is noticeable and controlled. We recommend first testing with the car's factory setup and adding or removing spacers based on the observed behaviour, paying special attention to the uniformity of the braid contact throughout the circuit.

Common mistakes

• Accumulating too many spacers: excessively raising the guide can cause lateral instability in fast corners. Increase gradually and test on track.
• Not checking the condition of the braids: a good height adjustment loses meaning if the braids are worn or poorly positioned. Check both elements together.
• Over-tightening: when mounting the guide with spacers, apply just the right torque to avoid deforming the parts or blocking the guide's movement.

Frequently asked questions

How many spacers are included in the SC-1651A pack?

The information provided by the manufacturer does not specify the exact number of units per pack. We recommend checking the official Scaleauto datasheet or contacting us to confirm before placing your order.

Can I combine these spacers with those of other thicknesses from Scaleauto?

Yes. Scaleauto offers spacers of different thicknesses within its SC range, so it is possible to combine them to achieve intermediate adjustment heights with great precision.

Is this type of adjustment necessary for recreational use or only for competition?

The guide height adjustment provides benefits for both recreational use and competition. On club tracks or in medium-high level races, the difference is clearly noticeable. In more informal home use, it is an optional refinement but always welcome if you want to get the most out of the car.

Do these spacers work with guides from other brands?

They are designed for the SC guide from Scaleauto. Compatibility with guides from other brands will depend on whether the anchoring dimensions match. We cannot guarantee their functionality outside the application for which they were designed.
