AW offset motor mount 1.0mm hard EVO6 bearings

Slot.it SICH82B Anglewinder Mount: 1.0 mm offset, high hardness and EVO6 bearings for 1/32 competition

The reference SICH82B from Slot.it is an anglewinder motor mount made from high-stiffness material, with a 1.0 mm offset and designed to accommodate EVO6 bearing system. A part intended for those who build or refine an anglewinder chassis with competition criteria.

Function and Performance

In an anglewinder configuration, the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle, allowing for optimised mass distribution and the car's centre of gravity. The mount is the component that accurately secures and positions the motor: any play or imprecision in it directly translates to loss of efficiency in the transmission and erratic behaviour on track.

The 1.0 mm offset of this mount slightly displaces the pinion shaft from the centre, allowing for adjustment of the distance between the pinion and crown gear to achieve correct meshing according to the transmission set used. The hard version offers greater structural stiffness, which reduces flex under load and improves meshing consistency during the race.

Compatibility and EVO6 System

This mount is designed for EVO6 bearings, the standard from Slot.it in its current generation transmission sets. Before installation, it is advisable to verify that the motor, crown gear, and pinion you are going to use are compatible with this system and the selected 1.0 mm offset, as Slot.it offers several versions of mounts with different offsets to fine-tune the transmission.

Installation and Preparation

• Check the play of the transmission with the pinion and crown gear mounted before permanently fixing the mount to the chassis.
• The high hardness of this mount makes it the usual choice for Sport track surfaces, where speeds and mechanical demands are higher.
• Ensure that the EVO6 bearings seat correctly in their housings before inserting the rear axle.
• A clean meshing with no excessive play — nor too tight — is key: check the backlash with the axle free before adjusting the assembly.

Common Mistakes

• Confusing the offset: Slot.it offers mounts with different offset values (0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm…). Using an incorrect offset can prevent correct meshing or require changing the pinion.
• Mixing bearing systems: Not all Slot.it bearings are interchangeable between generations. Always use EVO6 bearings with this mount.
• Ignoring hardness: The soft version offers more vibration absorption; the hard version offers more stiffness. Choosing the wrong one for your track type or driving style can impair performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 1.0 mm offset mean on this mount?

The offset indicates the lateral displacement of the pinion shaft from the central position. A 1.0 mm offset allows for adjustment of the distance between the pinion and crown gear to achieve correct meshing with certain Slot.it transmission combinations.

Is it compatible with all Slot.it anglewinder motors?

This mount is compatible with the motors that Slot.it specifies for its anglewinder system with EVO6 bearings. Consult Slot.it's compatibility chart or the transmission set documentation to confirm the correct combination.

What is the difference between the hard version and the soft version?

The hard version offers greater structural stiffness, which reduces deformation under load and improves meshing consistency at high speeds. The soft version absorbs vibrations better but may exhibit more flex. For competition on Sport track, the hard version is the usual choice.

Can I use bearings from another Slot.it generation with this mount?

It is not recommended. This mount is sized for EVO6 bearings. Using bearings from another generation may cause play or interference that affects performance and durability of the assembly.

Is this mount suitable for inline or sidewinder configurations?

No. This mount is specific for anglewinder configuration, where the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle. It is not compatible with inline or sidewinder configurations.
