Rally angle motor mount

Avant Slot anglewinder motor mount for rally 1/32: exact geometry, neutral offset

The Avant Slot rally anglewinder motor mount AV20575a is the benchmark for those working with anglewinder configuration in 1/32 scale rally cars. With an offset of 0.00 mm, this part positions the motor at the characteristic angle of the anglewinder system without lateral displacement, allowing the builder to start from scratch and adjust the transmission with complete freedom.

Function and performance

In the anglewinder configuration, the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle, providing a different weight distribution compared to the sidewinder (motor parallel to the axle) or inline (motor in longitudinal line). The motor mount is the part that secures and orients the motor within the chassis, and its dimensional accuracy has a direct impact on the crown-to-pinion engagement, axle play, and ultimately, the efficiency of the transmission.

The 0.00 mm offset of this mount indicates that it introduces no lateral displacement between the motor shaft and the rear axle, which is particularly useful as a starting point in a new build or when seeking the neutral reference before testing variants with positive or negative offsets.

Compatibility and installation

This mount is designed for Avant Slot rally body chassis in 1/32 scale. Avant Slot is a brand recognised for the precision of its spare parts and for offering a wide catalogue of replacement pieces, facilitating the preparation and maintenance of its models in club or competition settings.

• Scale: 1/32
• Type of mount: anglewinder
• Offset: 0.00 mm
• Application: Avant Slot rally bodies
• Reference: AV20575a

Installation and preparation

When installing the mount, it is advisable to ensure that the motor housing is perfectly seated and free of play before permanently securing the part. A good engagement between pinion and crown gear is essential: it is recommended to check the backlash with the motor already mounted in the mount and before closing the chassis. If the builder wishes to experiment with different offsets, Avant Slot offers variants within this same family to adjust the lateral position of the motor according to the needs of each track or regulations.

Common mistakes

• Forcing the motor adjustment without first checking that the mount is correctly seated in the chassis.
• Confusing the 0.00 mm offset with other references from the same family that do incorporate lateral displacement.
• Not verifying the crown-to-pinion engagement after installation, which can cause rubbing or loss of power.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an anglewinder mount and a sidewinder?

In the anglewinder configuration, the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle, whereas in the sidewinder, the motor is parallel to that axle. Each configuration has different implications for weight distribution and the type of transmission required.

What does 0.00 mm offset mean in this mount?

It means that the mount does not introduce any lateral displacement between the motor shaft and the rear axle. It is the neutral reference position, ideal as a starting point in a new build.

For which Avant Slot cars is this mount intended?

According to available information, it is designed for Avant Slot rally body chassis in 1/32 scale. Please check the exact compatibility with your model before placing an order.

Can I use this mount on chassis from other brands?

We do not have verified data on compatibility with chassis from other brands. It is safest to use it on the Avant Slot models for which it was designed.

Does Avant Slot offer other variants of this mount with different offsets?

Yes, Avant Slot has different references within the anglewinder mount family for rally, with various offset values. You can check the complete catalogue at Ministry of Hobby.
