Team Slot guide blade too shallow - StuBeeDoo - 3rd-Apr-24

I have several Team Slot Audi Quattros.  Most of them have the "standard" chassis - fixed motor mounts are the most obvious distinguishing feature.  These all run fine on my track.

One car - the yellow 555 China Rally livery, has the "Pro" chassis - the type with a separate, screwed-in (a bit like a Slot.It) motor mount.  This is the one that is causing me grief.    

Both types of chassis came with the same type of guide - all  the dimensions are the same, I've checked them with my vernier caliper.  However, the blade on the guide is <6mm deep.  I suspect that the guide support must be a little higher on the Pro chassis.  I've adjusted the front ride height as much as I can without the tyres fouling the body, but still the car keeps de-slotting.

Any suggestions how I might overcome this without resorting to too much butchery of the chassis??

Thanks in advance,
Stuart.

Is the guide sitting flush up to the chassis?

It's a sprung guide.  But if you push it right to the chassis, it is very nearly flush.

Cars deslotting too easily is usually because there's far too much side to side slop in the guide, not just Rally cars either as this shows up every time proxy cars visit out club.

Thanks, Alexis, I'll bear that in mind.

In the interest of continuity, I replaced the guide with a Scaleauto one, by using one of these as an adaptor.   

No more jumping out of the slot!
