Various models

Revoslot hasn't been on the market for long, but it's already given the slot car scene a real boost. The 1:32 scale technology is unique – and the developers also demonstrate a keen eye for model selection. Currently (as of August 2025), Revoslot offers the largest model range in the 1/32 slot car segment. In addition to numerous GT cars with very similar performance, popular classics like the Alfa Giulia, BMW 2002, Ford Escort, and others ensure a diverse field of competitors.

Revoslot metal chassis

Metal chassis Revoslot

What makes Revoslot special is its metal chassis. The base plate with the motor, axle mounts, and keel mounts is always identical within a vehicle class – only the frame and wheelbase are adapted to the respective body.

Revoslot models are delivered without a magnet. However, a magnet is included and can easily be glued in if necessary.

A metal chassis with "wobbly" parts requires a little more care:

  • Check the axle mount screws and the wobbly parts before first use.

  • Also check the engine mount (2x 1.5 mm Allen keys, sometimes 3-piece).

  • If the driving noise changes, check the engine mount and realign it.

In recent month (as of June 2025), the build quality has declined somewhat. Typical problems include:

  • Engine not positioned precisely, pinion not engaging the gear.

  • Wheels with a narrow bore (< 3 mm), need to be reworked.

To avoid such problems, we offer a chassis check, during which all relevant points are checked and corrected.

Behaviour and tuning options

Thanks to their metal chassis, Revoslot slot cars have a low center of gravity, and the original tires already offer good grip. The cars therefore handle very well right out of the box.

It gets even better with trued Ortmann tires. For some models, it's also recommended to remove the spring under the guide – otherwise, the front wheels can easily hang in the air.

Upgrade Carrera Digital 132

Digital conversion is generally prepared for most models, but it does involve a few special features.
Most models are designed for the installation of a Carrera decoder, but the motor can cause incorrect measurements in digital mode. Our experience:

  • Running in often helps significantly.

  • Additional interference suppression of the motor is even safer.

Replacing the guide is not necessary – we have performed over 500 conversions and have never received negative feedback.

We always have over 300 models in stock, practically the entire available range.
Almost all Revoslot slotcars are also available from us pre-digitalized with a Carrera D132 decoder.
