Offset Motor Mount 0.0mm Angewinder Carbon EVO6 Bearings

The Slot.it EVO6 carbon Anglewinder motor mount: lightweight and precision for 1/32 preparation

The reference SICH117C1 from Slot.it is a motor mount in Anglewinder configuration —that is, with the motor positioned at an angle to the rear axle— made from carbon fibre within the EVO6 line. Its 0.0 mm offset makes it the quintessential neutral option when seeking a centred motor position, without lateral displacement, on the chassis.

Main functions and features

• Material: carbon fibre, resulting in a weight reduction compared to conventional nylon or plastic mounts.
• Anglewinder configuration: the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle, allowing for efficient transmission and favourable mass distribution in competition chassis.
• 0.0 mm offset: no lateral displacement of the motor, ideal for symmetrical chassis or when the preparation geometry does not require offset correction.
• EVO6 line: component of the evolutionary family of Slot.it mounts, designed to fit with the modular architecture of their 1/32 chassis.
• Motor compatibility: suitable for standard and Flat motors from the Slot.it range.

Compatibility and assembly

This mount is designed to accommodate SICH105 bearings (3/32 ball bearing — 2.38 mm, specific for motor mounts and tensioners in the Slot.it 4WD system) or bearings with equivalent characteristics. The bearings are not included and must be purchased separately.

The use of ball bearings in the motor mount significantly reduces friction on the pinion shaft, improving response and durability of the transmission assembly during demanding running sessions.

Assembly and preparation

• Check the alignment of the mount with the rear axle before final fixing: any angular deviation directly affects the crown-pinion mesh.
• Use bearings in good condition; worn bearings negate the precision advantage offered by carbon fibre.
• Ensure that the 0.0 mm offset is suitable for your chassis: if your preparation requires lateral motor displacement, Slot.it offers variants with other offset values within the same EVO6 line.
• Clean the bearing housing before assembly to ensure a correct fit without play.

Common mistakes

• Confusing offset with height: the 0.0 mm offset refers to the lateral displacement of the motor, not its height position on the chassis.
• Assembling without bearings: the mount is designed to work with ball bearings; using it with bushings may cause play and premature wear.
• Assuming universal compatibility: although Slot.it's modular system is very flexible, always confirm that the receiving chassis accepts the EVO6 line before purchase.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an Anglewinder mount and a Sidewinder mount?

In the Anglewinder assembly, the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle, while in the Sidewinder, the motor is parallel (transverse) to the axle. Each configuration has different implications for weight distribution and the type of transmission used.

Are the bearings included?

No. The SICH117C1 mount does not include bearings. To complete the assembly, you will need the SICH105 (3/32 ball bearing — 2.38 mm) from Slot.it or ones with equivalent specifications.

Which motors is this mount compatible with?

According to information provided by Slot.it, this mount is compatible with standard and Flat motors from their range. Do not invent additional compatibilities without verifying with the official documentation or the updated Slot.it catalogue.

Why choose carbon fibre over nylon or POM?

Carbon fibre offers greater stiffness with less weight, which helps maintain stable transmission geometry under load and reduces unsprung mass. It is the usual choice in club-level competition preparations.

Is the 0.0 mm offset the most common?

It depends on the preparation. The 0.0 mm is the neutral value and the most versatile starting point. Other offset values allow for lateral motor displacement to adjust weight distribution or adapt the transmission to crowns of different diameters.

Is it compatible with Sport track?

The mount itself is an internal component of the car and does not depend on the type of track. Its compatibility is determined by the chassis and transmission system, not by the track on which the vehicle runs.

The Slot.it SICH117C1 EVO6 carbon Anglewinder motor mount (0.0 mm offset) is a lightweight, high-rigidity component designed for 1/32 slot car racing. Compatible with standard and Flat motors, it accepts SICH105 ball bearings (3/32 – 2.38 mm) for smooth, low-friction transmission. A top choice for club-level competitors and serious hobbyists looking to build a precise, competition-ready drivetrain on Slot.it chassis.
