Offset motor mount 1.0mm Angewinder EVO6

Fine tuning for your anglewinder EVO6: the offset that makes a difference on track

Within the world of slot car preparation in 1/32 scale, the small details are what separate a well-set car from a truly competitive one. The 1.0 mm Offset Motor Mount Anglewinder EVO6 from Slot.it (reference SICH82c1) is one of those components that, without drawing attention, is crucial for those who want to get the most out of their setup.

Function and performance

This mount is designed to position the motor with a lateral offset of 1.0 mm from the central axis of the chassis, in the anglewinder configuration typical of Slot.it's EVO6 system. Remember that in anglewinder motorization, the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle, allowing for a combination of advantages in centre of gravity height with efficient transmission.

The offset in the motor mount allows for compensation of differences in pinion-crown alignment, adjustment of backlash, and adaptation of different transmission combinations without the need to modify the chassis. One millimetre may seem small, but in competitive slot racing, it is exactly the margin you need for the transmission to operate smoothly and without power loss.

Compatibility

This mount is specific to the Slot.it EVO6 mounting system, designed for 1/32 scale cars with anglewinder configuration. If you are assembling or preparing a Slot.it chassis of this generation, this is the 1.0 mm offset from the SICH82c range.

Slot.it offers different offset values within this family of mounts, so it is advisable to check which one you need based on your pinion and crown combination before proceeding with the assembly.

Assembly and preparation

The assembly is direct onto the EVO6 mount. Before securing the mount, it is recommended to:

• Check that the pinion and crown are correctly aligned with the new offset.
• Check the backlash by manually rotating the rear axle: there should be minimal play, without excessive slack or tightness.
• Ensure that the motor is well seated in the mount before closing the chassis.

Common mistakes

The most common mistake is choosing an incorrect offset for the gear combination being used. If the pinion and crown do not mesh with the appropriate clearance, the car will lose efficiency or suffer premature wear in the transmission. Consult Slot.it's recommendations for each EVO6 configuration before settling on a specific offset value.

Frequently asked questions

What is the offset in an anglewinder motor mount?

The offset is the lateral displacement of the motor relative to the central position of the chassis. It allows for adjustment of the mesh between the motor pinion and the rear axle crown, controlling backlash and alignment of the transmission.

For which chassis or cars is this mount valid?

This mount is designed for the Slot.it EVO6 mounting system in 1/32 scale with anglewinder configuration. Check the exact compatibility with your model before purchasing.

What is the difference between a 1.0 mm offset and other available values?

Each offset value is designed for a specific combination of pinion and crown. Choosing the correct offset ensures that the gear operates with the correct backlash, without tightness or excessive slack. Slot.it offers several values within the SICH82c family to cover different transmission combinations.

Can I use this mount on a car with sidewinder or inline motorization?

No. This mount is specific to the EVO6 anglewinder configuration. For sidewinder or inline motorization, there are other mounts and specific bases within the Slot.it catalogue.

Is it a fragile spare part or is it a long-lasting piece?

Slot.it motor mounts are precision parts manufactured to the brand's quality standards. With correct assembly and without forcing the transmission, they have a prolonged lifespan. It is recommended to check them periodically if the car is used in regular competition.

The Slot.it SICH82c1 motor mount with 1.0mm offset is a precision replacement part for the EVO6 anglewinder setup in 1/32 scale slot cars. Designed to fine-tune motor positioning and optimize gear mesh between pinion and crown gear, this component is essential for competitive slot car preparation. Compatible with Slot.it EVO6 chassis in anglewinder configuration, it ensures smooth power transmission and consistent lap times on both club and home tracks.
