Z-Spar Batten Cars


Z-Spar uses its own Recirculating Ball-Bearing (RCB) and Slide Rod Batten Cars on 2 sizes of special Mast Tracks. Clear anodized Recirculating Ball Tracks are 25mm (>1"), or 32mm (1 1/4") wide. Ball-Bearing Cars are shipped on a piece of Car Loader track, and must not be removed from Mast track without Car loader, as ball loading is difficult.
Note: These Cars have been produced in a variety of different lengths and configurations.
When ordering parts, be sure to check measurements!
