Blue cleaning plate with brush

The T800 blue cleaning board (ref. T870001): technical preparation of braids and tyres in a single accessory

When the clock is ticking and every tenth counts, the condition of the braids and tyres makes the difference between a car that transmits current well and has reliable traction, and one that fails at the most inconvenient moment. This T800 board combines both tasks into a single compact support in unmistakable blue colour.

Features and highlights

• Dual function in a single base: the flat surface cleans the tyres by removing dust and rubber debris, while the brushes work on the braids.
• Two fiberglass brushes: specific material for effectively removing carbon deposits and residues that accumulate on the braids, without damaging the conductor.
• Height adjustable via Allen screw: allows for adjusting the pressure of the brushes on the braids according to their wear state or the profile of each car, which is especially appreciated when working with different guides or chassis.
• Characteristic blue colour of T800: easy to locate in the pit during a competition session.
• Compatible with scales 1/32 and 1/24.

Function and performance

The braids are the only electrical bridge between the track and the motor. When they accumulate carbon, the contact becomes intermittent and the car loses response to the controller or suffers micro-stops in the acceleration zone. Running it through the fiberglass brushes before each heat restores conductivity without the need to disassemble the guide.

As for the tyres, the surface of the board removes dust and surface deposits that reduce grip coefficient, especially in the first warming lap. A quick clean before going on track ensures that the compound works from the first metre.

Assembly and use

The adjustment of the brushes is done with a standard Allen key, without additional tools. The height is adjusted until the fiberglass filaments gently touch the braids of the car positioned on the board. The process is simple and quick, making it useful both at home and in the race paddock.

Ideal for…

• Competition drivers in club championships who prepare the car between heats.
• Preparers working with cars in scales 1/32 and 1/24 who need a versatile tool.
• Enthusiasts who want to extend the lifespan of their braids and maintain their tyre grip in good condition.

Frequently asked questions

Which scales is this cleaning board compatible with?

It is suitable for cars in scales 1/32 and 1/24, the two most common scales in club competition.

Can the fiberglass brushes damage the braids?

No, as long as the height is properly adjusted with the Allen screw. The fiberglass is designed specifically to clean without harming the conductor. Excessive adjustment could wear out the braids prematurely, which is why the adjustment system is a key point of the design.

Do I need to apply any chemical product on the board to clean the tyres?

The available information does not specify the use of any additional liquid or compound. Dry cleaning on the surface of the board is the usual method for removing dust and surface residues from the tyre.

Are the fiberglass brushes sold separately as replacements?

We do not have confirmed information about the individual sale of the brushes as replacements. We recommend contacting us directly to verify availability.

Does it also work as a tyre pre-heating area?

This board is designed for cold cleaning, not as a tyre warmer. Its function is to remove contaminants from the surface of the tyre and the braids, not to raise the temperature of the compound.

The T800 T870001 blue cleaning board is a dual-purpose slot car maintenance tool designed for serious club racers and hobbyists working in 1/32 and 1/24 scales. It features two fiberglass brushes for effective braid cleaning, removing carbon deposits and restoring electrical contact, with adjustable brush height via Allen screw for precise pressure control. The flat surface cleans tyre compounds quickly before each run, ensuring consistent grip from the first lap. An essential pit box accessory for any slot car preparation workflow.
