Angular mount motor support with 1.25 mm offset - EVO6 - CARBON FIBRE - version with bearings.

The Slot.it carbon fibre EVO6 anglewinder motor mount: competition geometry for 1/32

The anglewinder motor mount is one of the most critical components in preparing a competition slot car. Its function is to support and align the motor at the correct angle relative to the rear axle, efficiently transmitting power to the pinion and crown gear. In this case, the reference SICH124C1 from Slot.it elevates this concept with materials and tolerances typical of high-performance mounts.

Function and performance

The anglewinder setup positions the motor at an angle relative to the rear axle, combining space advantages and mass distribution that make it the preferred system for many club and competition preparers. With an offset of 1.25 mm, this mount allows precise adjustment of the motor's lateral position within the chassis, optimizing the transmission and balance of the assembly.

The bearing version reduces friction at the axle support points, improving acceleration response and consistency lap after lap. It is a common choice among those seeking the last tenth on the stopwatch.

Carbon fibre: stiffness without extra weight

The choice of carbon fibre as a material is not decorative: it provides structural stiffness far superior to conventional plastic mounts with a fraction of the weight. This translates into greater transmission stability under load, less flex during braking, and a geometry that remains constant session after session. For those fine-tuning their cars with very tight clearance and alignment measurements, this detail makes a difference.

Compatibility and installation

This mount belongs to the EVO6 range from Slot.it, designed to fit with the chassis and transmission systems of the brand itself. Before purchasing, it is advisable to verify that the receiving chassis is compatible with the EVO6 family and that the 1.25 mm offset is suitable for the pinion-crown gear ratio you plan for your setup.

• Mounting system: Anglewinder (motor at an angle to the rear axle)
• Offset: 1.25 mm
• Material: Carbon fibre
• Version: With bearings
• Chassis family: EVO6 (Slot.it)
• Scale: 1/32

Common mistakes when installing an anglewinder mount

One of the most common mistakes is forcing the fit when the offset does not exactly match the chosen pinion, creating lateral tension on the axle and premature wear. It is also common not to check the perpendicularity of the motor relative to the crown gear before finally tightening the mount. With carbon fibre mounts, any small misalignment is noticed sooner in the sound of the transmission than in plastic, which is actually an advantage: you detect the problem before it becomes a failure.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an anglewinder mount and a sidewinder?

In the sidewinder setup, the motor is placed parallel to the rear axle (transversely), whereas in the anglewinder, the motor is positioned at an angle relative to that axle. The anglewinder offers greater design flexibility in the chassis and a different mass distribution, highly valued in 1/32 competition.

What is the purpose of the 1.25 mm offset?

The offset laterally displaces the position of the motor within the chassis. This allows for adjustment of the alignment between the pinion and crown gear according to the chosen transmission configuration, reducing lateral play and optimizing transmission efficiency.

What advantage does the bearing version offer over the non-bearing version?

The bearings reduce friction at the axle supports, resulting in less power loss and greater performance consistency throughout a race session. It is the recommended option for competitive use or for setups where maximum performance is sought.

Is this mount compatible with chassis from other brands?

It is specifically designed for the EVO6 family from Slot.it. Compatibility with chassis from other brands depends on the mounting dimensions of each manufacturer; it is advisable to check the measurements before installing it on a non-Slot.it chassis.

Can it be combined with any motor from the Slot.it range?

In principle, yes, as long as the motor is compatible with the EVO6 mounting system. Check the official product sheet from Slot.it or the Evotech catalogue to confirm which combinations of motor, pinion, and crown gear are most suitable for your specific setup.

Does the carbon fibre mount require maintenance?

Carbon fibre does not require special maintenance beyond regular cleaning and periodic checking of the bearing adjustment. Ensure that the bearings rotate smoothly and without excessive axial play to maintain optimal performance.

The Slot.it SICH124C1 is a carbon fibre anglewinder motor mount from the EVO6 range, featuring a 1.25 mm offset and a bearing version for maximum transmission efficiency. Designed for 1/32 slot car racing, it delivers exceptional rigidity and precision alignment, making it a top choice for club and competition racers looking to fine-tune their drivetrain setup with reliable, lightweight components.
