AW offset motor mount 1.0mm hard EVO6 bearings

Slot.it SICH82B2: anglewinder motor mount with 1.0 mm offset, hard version and EVO6 bearings

When preparing a slot car seriously, every tenth of a millimetre matters. This anglewinder motor mount from Slot.it (reference SICH82B2) offers a 1.0 mm offset in its hard version, equipped with EVO6 bearings. A combination designed for those who want total control over the drivetrain geometry.

Function and performance

The mount is the element that fixes the motor's position relative to the rear axle in an anglewinder setup. The 1.0 mm offset slightly displaces the pinion axis from the reference centre, allowing for adjustment of the gear mesh height with the crown gear and optimising power transfer according to the chassis and setup used.

The hard version minimises flex in the mount under load. This translates to a more stable gear engagement during hard acceleration and demanding corners, reducing power loss due to play and premature wear of the pinion and crown gear.

The EVO6 bearings are the bearings from Slot.it's EVO6 generation, designed to provide low friction, good axle centring, and durability. Their direct integration into the mount facilitates installation and ensures correct alignment from the outset.

Compatibility and installation

This mount is designed for Slot.it anglewinder chassis systems, compatible with Sport track (Slot.it, Scaleauto). Before purchasing, check that your chassis accepts the 1.0 mm offset version and that you are using the EVO6 bearing family, as Slot.it has different generations and sizes within its range of mounts.

• Offset: 1.0 mm
• Stiffness: hard version
• Bearings: EVO6 included
• System: anglewinder
• Brand: Slot.it
• Reference: SICH82B2

Installation and preparation

The installation is direct on compatible Slot.it anglewinder chassis. We recommend checking the backlash (play between pinion and crown gear) once the mount is installed, adjusting if necessary with shims or changing the offset value. The hard version requires less regular re-tightening than the soft versions, but it is advisable to periodically check the condition of the EVO6 bearings and clean them of dust and lubricant residues to maintain rotational efficiency.

Common errors

• Confusing the necessary offset without measuring the gear mesh play beforehand: an inadequate offset can cause too much pressure between pinion and crown gear or, conversely, excessive play.
• Mixing bearings from different generations (EVO5, EVO6…): ensure that all bearings in your setup are from the same series to guarantee correct axle centring.
• Applying excessive lubricant on the EVO6 bearings: a minimal drop is sufficient; excess attracts dirt and increases rolling resistance.

Frequently asked questions

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

The hard version offers greater structural stiffness, which reduces deformation of the mount under the motor's load during acceleration. It is the preferred option in competition-oriented setups where consistency and precise response are sought. The soft version allows for slightly more absorption, useful in certain setups with technical tracks.

What is the offset in an anglewinder mount?

The offset is the displacement of the output axis of the mount relative to a central reference point. In this case, 1.0 mm. It allows for adjustment of the relative position of the pinion over the crown gear to optimise the gear mesh and adapt the setup to different combinations of pinion, crown gear, and chassis.

Do the EVO6 bearings come pre-installed in the mount?

Yes, the EVO6 bearings are integrated into the SICH82B2 mount, ready to install the axle and motor without needing to purchase the bearings separately.

Is this mount compatible with any anglewinder chassis?

It is compatible with Slot.it anglewinder chassis that accept the geometry of this mount. Not all anglewinder chassis on the market are compatible, so it is advisable to check the specifications of your chassis before placing an order.

Can I use this mount on Scalextric or Ninco track?

The mount itself is an internal component of the car and does not depend on the type of track. However, Slot.it anglewinder chassis are optimised for Sport track (Slot.it, Scaleauto). Use on universal track (Scalextric, Ninco) is possible if you adapt the guide correctly, although optimal performance is achieved on Sport track.

The Slot.it SICH82B2 is a hard anglewinder motor mount featuring a 1.0 mm offset and EVO6 bearings, designed for precision slot car tuning. Part of Slot.it's extensive range of replacement parts for 1/32 scale anglewinder chassis, this mount ensures consistent gear mesh, reduced drivetrain flex, and accurate motor positioning. Compatible with Slot.it Sport track systems and anglewinder setups, it's a go-to upgrade for club racers and competitive builders looking for reliable, repeatable performance.
