1.25 mm gauge plate AW Scaleauto

The exact measurement that makes the difference between passing or failing technical inspection

When the difference between competing and being excluded is measured in tenths of a millimetre, there is no room for imprecision. The Scaleauto 1.25 mm AW gauge plate is the reference tool for checking and adjusting the ground clearance in Anglewinder configuration, strictly complying with the requirements of the Scaleauto Rally technical regulations.

Function and performance

This gauge plate acts as a measuring standard: it is placed under the chassis of the car to check that the ground clearance is correct according to the regulations. With a thickness of exactly 1.25 mm, it allows for a quick verification of whether the vehicle meets the minimum height established for the Anglewinder (AW) category in Scaleauto regulated Rally events.

Its use is not limited to race verification: on the workbench, it is equally valuable for adjusting tyre diameter, chassis stiffness, and the position of the motor-crown gear assembly before each competition day.

Compatibility and application

Specifically designed for the Anglewinder configuration, where the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle. It is the gauge plate indicated for any preparer or driver competing under the Scaleauto Rally technical regulations who needs to ensure the legality of the car before official inspection.

Assembly and preparation

• Place the gauge plate on a flat surface and support the chassis on it to check the actual clearance.
• Adjust the tyre diameter or chassis stiffness until the correct value is obtained.
• Repeat the check after each modification to ensure consistency in the setup.
• Store it protected from impacts and dirt to preserve its calibration over time.

Ideal for…

Drivers and preparers competing in the Anglewinder category under the Scaleauto Rally regulations, and for any enthusiast looking to elevate their car's setup to a high competition level with real precision tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What motor configuration is this gauge plate designed for?

It is specifically designed for the Anglewinder (AW) configuration, where the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle. It is not suitable for checks in Inline or Sidewinder configurations, which may have different regulatory heights.

Is it suitable for any slot regulations or just for Scaleauto?

The plate complies with the specifications of the Scaleauto Rally regulations. If you compete under another regulation, first check the minimum height required in your category before using it as a reference.

How is the gauge plate used correctly?

The chassis of the car is placed on the gauge plate on a flat surface. If the chassis touches the plate, the ground clearance is less than 1.25 mm and the car would not pass inspection. The goal is to have a minimum clearance consistent with the current regulations.

Does it require maintenance or periodic calibration?

It does not require periodic calibration, but it is advisable to keep it clean and free from deep scratches that could alter its thickness. Avoid placing heavy objects on it and store it in a protected location.

Is this gauge plate valid for official race verification?

It is the appropriate tool for preparing and checking the car before inspection, but validity in race depends always on the decision of the official inspector and the updated regulations of each event.

The Scaleauto 1.25 mm Anglewinder gauge plate (ref. T870080) is a precision setup tool for slot car racing, designed to verify and adjust the minimum ride height in Anglewinder (AW) configuration according to Scaleauto Rally technical regulations. An essential workbench accessory for competitive slot car builders and pilots looking to ensure full technical compliance before every race.
