Anglewinder motor mount 0.5mm offset EVO6 HARD bearing version

Anglewinder Mount Slot.it EVO6 HARD: rigidity, bearings and 0.5 mm offset to fine-tune your setup

The reference SICH118B is the anglewinder mount EVO6 HARD from Slot.it in its version with bearings and an offset of 0.5 mm. It is part of Slot.it's 1/32 preparation spare parts range, a brand that has been setting the standard in mounts, transmissions, and chassis for slot racing for decades.

Function and performance

An anglewinder mount positions the motor at an angle relative to the rear axle. This design allows for a lower centre of gravity of the power unit compared to a classic sidewinder configuration, with a mass distribution that favours stability in corners. The EVO6 variant from Slot.it represents a refined evolution in geometry and tolerances compared to previous generations.

The term HARD indicates a material with greater rigidity in the body of the mount. This reduces flex under load and improves consistency in the transfer of torque to the transmission, something particularly noticeable on fast tracks or with high-performance motors.

The 0.5 mm offset allows for lateral alignment adjustment of the motor relative to the pinion and crown gear, compensating for chassis tolerances or seeking the optimal engagement point. It is a fine adjustment that preparers use to reduce transmission noise and prolong the lifespan of pinions and crown gears.

Version with bearings

The bearing version incorporates bearings at the axle support points, instead of plastic or bronze bushings. Bearings significantly reduce friction, improve low-speed response, and offer greater durability under continuous use. For those competing in clubs or conducting long running sessions, the difference compared to a standard version is noticeable in both performance and wear.

Compatibility and installation

This mount is designed to integrate into Slot.it chassis from the EVO6 family. Before installing it, it is advisable to verify that the target chassis is compatible with the EVO6 geometry and that the chosen motor fits into the housing of this mount. Slot.it provides detailed information on compatibility in its official catalogue and in the technical sheets of each chassis.

Common mistakes in anglewinder mount installation

One of the most common mistakes is over-tightening the mount without first checking the backlash between the pinion and crown gear. With a 0.5 mm offset, the axle distance is predefined, but it is always advisable to verify it with the specific pinion and crown gear that will be used. Another common error is mixing HARD mounts with low-torque motors in lightweight chassis: in that case, the additional rigidity does not provide a real advantage and may transmit unwanted vibrations to the assembly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the HARD version and the standard version?

The HARD version uses a stiffer material in the body of the mount, which reduces flex under load. It is preferable when using powerful motors or in competition where transmission consistency is critical. The standard version may be more suitable for recreational use or setups where some vibration absorption is desired.

What advantage do bearings provide over bushings?

Bearings reduce friction at the axle supports, improving transmission efficiency and motor response, especially at low speeds. Additionally, they offer greater durability in long or high-demand sessions.

What is the purpose of the 0.5 mm offset?

The offset laterally displaces the position of the motor relative to the rear axle. With 0.5 mm, it is possible to adjust the engagement between the pinion and crown gear to optimise backlash, reduce transmission noise, and adapt the mount to small variations between chassis or transmission combinations.

Is it compatible with any Slot.it chassis?

Not necessarily. This mount corresponds to the EVO6 family of Slot.it. It is advisable to check compatibility with the specific chassis before purchasing, consulting Slot.it's official catalogue or the chassis specifications.

What motors does this mount accept?

The EVO6 mount from Slot.it is designed for the usual motors in its range, but we do not have the complete list of verified motor compatibilities for this specific reference. We recommend consulting Slot.it's official website or contacting us before combining it with a specific motor.
