Offset angle motor mount 1.00mm

Geometry under control: Avant Slot anglewinder motor mount with 1.00 mm offset

When we talk about tuning in 1/32 slot cars, the motor position changes everything. This motor mount from Avant Slot (ref. AV20575d) is specifically designed for anglewinder configurations — that is, with the motor positioned at an angle to the rear axle — and incorporates a 1.00 mm offset that allows for precise adjustment of the distance between the motor pinion and the crown gear, seeking the perfect mesh without play or unnecessary friction.

Function and performance

The offset in an anglewinder motor mount is not a minor detail: it directly determines the quality of the mesh between the pinion and the crown gear. A 1.00 mm offset is one of the most commonly used values in competition tuning, as it compensates for manufacturing variations between different pinion and crown gear combinations, achieving a smooth and efficient contact that translates into cleaner transmission and greater durability of the components.

• Configuration: anglewinder (motor at an angle to the rear axle).
• Offset angle: 1.00 mm.
• Scale: 1/32.
• Brand: Avant Slot.
• Reference: AV20575d.

Compatibility and assembly

This mount is designed to integrate into chassis and platforms compatible with the anglewinder range of Avant Slot in 1/32 scale. Before assembly, it is advisable to verify that the combination of pinion and crown gear you are going to use requires precisely 1.00 mm of offset; Avant Slot offers different values in its range to address the various possible combinations.

Assembly is straightforward for those already familiar with slot car tuning, although we recommend checking the mesh with the motor cold before permanently securing the mount, ensuring that the pinion turns without drag and with minimal controlled play.

Common mistakes

• Confusing the necessary offset: each combination of pinion and crown gear may require a different offset. Always check the measurements before ordering the mount.
• Over-tightening the mount: this can deform the base or create tensions that adversely affect the mesh.
• Not checking the mesh after assembly: a quick check with the motor running at low speed before the first track session saves a lot of trouble.

Frequently asked questions

What does "anglewinder" mean in the context of slot cars?

In an anglewinder slot car, the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle. This allows for an intermediate balance between the sidewinder layout (motor parallel to the axle) and the inline layout (motor perpendicular to the axle), optimising weight distribution and the compactness of the assembly.

What exactly is the purpose of the 1.00 mm offset in this mount?

The offset determines the separation between the motor shaft and the rear axle, which directly affects how the pinion and crown gear mesh. With a 1.00 mm offset, the aim is to find the optimal working point for the most common pinion and crown gear combinations in this configuration.

How do I know if I need the 1.00 mm offset or a different one?

It depends on the diameter of the pinion and crown gear you are going to use. Avant Slot offers several offset values in its range; if in doubt, consult the documentation for your chassis or ask us: we will help you choose the correct mount.

Is it compatible with all 1/32 anglewinder chassis?

It is designed for the anglewinder range of Avant Slot in 1/32 scale. Compatibility with chassis from other manufacturers depends on the specific dimensions of each platform, so we recommend verifying this before assembly.

Can I use this mount in a club racing car?

Yes. In fact, this type of replacement part is especially aimed at tuners and club competitors looking to fine-tune the transmission of their anglewinder cars.

The Avant Slot AV20575d anglewinder motor mount with 1.00 mm offset is an essential tuning part for 1/32 slot car builders looking to fine-tune gear mesh in anglewinder setups. Designed for precision assembly and optimal power transmission, it is a key component for club racing preparation and competitive slot car tuning.
