Details below. Sorry a couple of things lost in translation, but I'm sure you'll understand most of the info.

The latest product news from MB SLOT.

New magnesium wheels Ref: 08024 & Ref: 08025 with diameter of 16.50 mm with a weight of only 0.50 grams and 0.6 grams.






The spherical bearings for axle 3/32" Ref: 09030 suitable for  Slot.it and Slotting Plus products, with a particular design that makes them particularly efficient.




Delrin bushings with spherical bushing inside Ref: 09052 suitable for all those cars fitted with conventional bushings.




The new motor MOMO Ref: 09070 with 22000 RPM with high magnetic power, a lot of fun performing on Groups C and classic, Ref: 09071 PIPPO  with 27000 RPM for a GT less extreme.






M2 x 3 mm grub screws Ref: 09062 steel head line, end cylindrical tip, perhaps less immediate insert screwdriver into the grub screw, but much more secure tightening, the same for grains M3 x 2.5 Ref: 09063.




But surely the most interesting new items are the new Metal contact PICK-UPs Ref: 01065, Ref: 01068 & Ref: 01070.

• The classic copper braids can now be replaced with thin strips of spring steel.
• A many will turn up their noses, but these contacts are unable to lower the structure of the machine, have a greater fluency in a straight line, better cornering.
• Translated, easy to drive and performance. Of course the set of slot cars will have to change SET UP that at least the machine is reduced by 0.2 mm.
• Care should be taken to bend well, clean well before use to remove dirt may have on the surface for processing, and give the correct angle.
• Angle that will allow the best contact and the correct height.
• Available in three thicknesses 0.05 mm, 0.08 mm and 0.10 mm to be used according to the type of track, car and competition. Each pack contains 10 blades and the frame that holds the blades the highlighted number indicates the thickness in hundredths of a millimetre.

The new braid,sorry pickups look very interesting indeed. Never seen anything like that before Cant wait to try em

[Ember]

Wonder how long copper tape would last under the new pickups. Interesting idea though.

[ClassicCar]

The metallic contacts are interesting but what will be the influence on common braided tracks, can them damage the copper braid of the tracks more rapidly?, because steel is harder than copper.

What do you thing people.

May be MB Slot can answer my question?

[rick1776]

Looks like HO AFX on steriods. Time will tell if it works or not.

[Screwneck]

I wish they'd change the dreadful guide design. They just snap under the slightest pressure.

Spring steel pickups are going to ruin the protective alloy layer on plastic track and will grind down the metal rails. Awful idea :

Lots of other nice goodies, though!

[minidora]

I´m with you Screwneck, the guides are awful, they have to chage them. And the metalic contact is not a good idea for traditional tracks (ninco, scx etc), the contact will be lost in many cases. But the other stuff looks good

[Savage]

Slot it deep wood guide but with the MB slot coke bottle shape, now there would be a nice guide suprised someone hasn't yet done it !
Kinda agree on the wear to track with the strips, but we may be wrong.

No prices for those wheels ?

And wonder what that chassis is for ? an RS200 would be nice ... but I am guessing I am SOL on that, looks too long in the wheelbase

[nitro]

The chassis looks like a ninco, or a ninco copy, check out the pro-shock suspension mounts.
love the detailing on the band pullies.....???overkill...??overpriced...£10?

[Mr.M]

I thought it looked like a Ninco replacement chassis too, from the shape possibly a BMW M3 GT.

Not sure I follow the logic of the concern that the flat contacts are more abrasive than steel braid, but then tune-up parts for slot cars are way over my head anyway!

[bswan72]

I think it is a NINCO chassis that is showing how the MB Slot parts can be used to upgrade a typical NINCO 4wd vehicle.

Best regards,

I shall be very interested in reports of the performance of the new pick-up blades.

When I started in slots, ~ 1959, commercial guides were not really available. I devised my own from Teflon "T" sections and used phosphor bronze shims as pick-up material. They worked well on the steel rails of my (rubber) Scalextric track.

My first experience of a commercial braided track was in California in '62-'63. The phosphor bronze strips were useless. I remade my guides by cutting the strips short (they were bolted on with 00-90 machine screws and nuts) and soldering braid to the stubs.

The chassis they are using to display their products is a Ninco Mitsubishi lancer rally car .

HI

The question PICK-UP

The pickup has a thin blade shaped to enhance performance.
Other people have complained about the blade to break.
But in discussions with them, the problem was not the pick-up, but the track, with a slot that is too thin.
It causes friction and break the blade.

I'd say try, carefully assembling the new contacts. Then we shall say a few years time
I used the copper wire.
Not totally ruined the track
