The NSR AW EVO2 Medium Black motor cradle is designed to house motors in an anglewinder configuration with maximum precision and rigidity. A key component for those looking to extract the best performance from their slot car setup.
The NSR AW EVO2 Medium Black Cradle: Anglewinder Precision for Demanding Builds
The reference NSR1225 is the motor cradle from the NSR EVO2 range in Medium version and Black finish, specifically designed for installations in anglewinder configuration. Manufactured with the meticulousness characteristic of NSR, this piece provides the necessary structural support for the motor to be correctly anchored to the chassis, maintaining alignment with the rear axle and ensuring power transmission without losses.
Main Features
- Configuration: Anglewinder (AW) — the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle, combining compactness with a favourable centre of gravity.
- Medium version: cradle height adapted to the range of NSR intermediate-sized motors compatible with this configuration.
- Black finish: black colour, common in competition builds where aesthetics matter as much as functionality.
- Manufactured by NSR, a brand recognised for its catalogue of high-precision spare parts and accessories for competitive slot racing.
Function and Performance
The motor cradle is the component that secures the motor to the chassis and determines its angular position relative to the drive shaft. A well-designed cradle — like the EVO2 — reduces vibrations, improves the rigidity of the assembly, and allows for finer tuning of the vehicle. In club or championship environments, small variations in motor positioning can translate into noticeable differences in traction and cornering stability.
The EVO2 version from NSR introduces improvements in dimensional tolerance compared to previous generations, resulting in a more precise motor fit and less structural play during the race.
Recommended Applications
This cradle is aimed at slot car chassis in anglewinder configuration compatible with NSR's EVO2 architecture. It is particularly interesting for tuners working with medium-sized motors and seeking a solid base on which to build or refine their competition setup.
Assembly and Preparation
To make the most of this cradle, it is advisable to check that the motor fits without excessive pressure or play before finalising the attachment. Proper alignment of the pinion with the crown gear is crucial: any angular deviation affects the wear of the transmission and the efficiency of the power transferred to the axle. NSR facilitates this task thanks to the dimensional precision of its parts, but a final check on the track before making definitive adjustments is always recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an Anglewinder cradle and a Sidewinder?
In the anglewinder configuration, the motor is installed at an angle to the rear axle. In the sidewinder, the motor is placed parallel (transversely) to the axle. Each configuration affects the centre of gravity and the car's behaviour on track differently, so they are not interchangeable without modifying the chassis.
What does the "Medium" version mean for this cradle?
The Medium designation refers to the height or dimension of the cradle, which determines which motors are compatible. Ensure that the motor you are going to install corresponds to this size within NSR's EVO2 system to guarantee a correct fit.
Is it compatible with all NSR chassis?
This cradle is designed for NSR chassis with EVO2 architecture in anglewinder configuration. If you have doubts about compatibility with a specific chassis or model, consult NSR's technical documentation or contact us at Ministry of Hobby.
Can I use this cradle on chassis from other brands?
It depends on the geometry of the chassis. The NSR EVO2 cradle follows the dimensions of the brand itself, so compatibility with third-party chassis is not guaranteed without prior verification. Some tuners adapt it, but it requires case-by-case checking.
Does the Black finish have any technical function or is it just aesthetic?
The black finish on slot parts usually responds mainly to aesthetic and identification criteria within the catalogue. It does not imply differences in material or performance compared to other versions of the same reference in different colours.
