Opsætning og installation

Proper installation of the contact brushes is crucial for your slot car's performance. Follow these steps to replace the brushes:

1. Forberedelse: Ensure the slot car is powered off and disconnected from the track. Place the car on a clean, flat surface.
2. Locate Old Brushes: Turn the slot car upside down. The contact brushes are typically located at the front underside of the car, extending downwards to make contact with the track's power rails.
3. Fjern gamle børster: Gently pull the worn or damaged contact brushes straight out from their mounting points. They are usually held in place by friction or small clips. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the car's chassis.
4. Indsæt nye pensler: Take a new double contact brush from the pack. Carefully align the base of the new brush with the mounting slot on the car. Push the brush firmly into place until it snaps or sits securely.
5. Adjust Brushes: Once installed, the braided metal part of the brushes should extend slightly downwards and forward. Gently bend or adjust the braided sections so they are angled to make good, consistent contact with the track rails without being overly stiff or bent. The goal is a slight curve that allows for smooth gliding and electrical connection.
6. Prøve: Place the car on the track and test its operation. If the car hesitates or runs inconsistently, re-check the brush alignment and adjustment.
