Angewinder Motor Mount Offset 0.5mm EVO6

Precision adjustment for your EVO6 chassis: the Anglewinder Offset 0.5 mm mount from Slot.it

Within the 1/32 spare parts ecosystem of Slot.it, every tenth of a millimetre counts. The Anglewinder motor mount with a 0.5 mm offset (ref. SICH60C1) is designed for the brand's EVO6 chassis and allows for a slight shift in the motor's position relative to the rear axle, thereby refining the distance between the pinion and crown gear for smoother and more efficient transmission.

Function and performance

In an Anglewinder configuration, the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle. The mount is the component that anchors the motor to the chassis and determines the exact distance between the motor pinion and the crown gear on the axle. An offset of 0.5 mm may seem like a minimal difference, but in practice, it makes the difference between a loose transmission, one with perfect meshing, or one subjected to unnecessary tension.

• Specifically designed for the EVO6 chassis from Slot.it.
• 0.5 mm offset for fine adjustment of the pinion-crown distance.
• Anglewinder configuration: motor angled relative to the rear axle.
• Original brand replacement, ensuring correct fit and tolerances.

Compatibility

This mount is designed for Slot.it EVO6 chassis in 1/32 scale. If you are using a different chassis or need a different offset (greater or lesser displacement), Slot.it offers other variants within its Anglewinder mount range. Always check the exact reference of your chassis before selecting the mount.

Installation and preparation

Installation is straightforward: the mount replaces or complements the original motor position on the EVO6 chassis. For optimal meshing, check that the clearance between the pinion and crown gear is correct once the mount is installed. A slight play—without excess or tension—is the ideal adjustment point. It is recommended to check the alignment of the rear axle after installation to avoid vibrations or premature wear in the transmission.

Common mistakes

• Confusing the necessary offset: always measure the distance between the pinion and crown gear with the chassis assembled before choosing the mount. An incorrect offset can force the meshing or create excessive play.
• Installing the mount on an incompatible chassis: this mount is specific to EVO6. Do not assume compatibility with other Slot.it chassis without verifying it.
• Over-tightening the fixing screws: this can deform the mount or tension the motor, affecting the performance and lifespan of the part.

Frequently asked questions

Which chassis is this mount compatible with?

This Anglewinder motor mount with a 0.5 mm offset (SICH60C1) is designed for the EVO6 chassis from Slot.it in 1/32 scale. Its compatibility with other chassis from the brand has not been verified.

What does "0.5 mm offset" mean in this context?

The offset indicates the displacement of the motor from its central position in the mount. 0.5 mm shifts the motor shaft 0.5 mm in one direction, modifying the distance between the motor pinion and the crown gear on the rear axle. This allows for fine-tuning the meshing of the Anglewinder transmission.

How does an Anglewinder configuration differ from a Sidewinder or Inline?

In the Anglewinder configuration, the motor is placed at an angle to the rear axle. In Sidewinder, the motor is parallel to the rear axle (transverse). In Inline, the motor is perpendicular to the rear axle, in line with the length of the car, lowering the centre of gravity. Each configuration has distinct implications for the car's behaviour on track.

Do I also need to change the pinion or crown gear when installing this mount?

Not necessarily. The mount adjusts the position of the motor; the pinion and crown gear you are already using may still be valid. However, if the change in offset causes the current meshing to be incorrect, it may be necessary to review the pinion and crown gear combination to maintain the proper clearance.

Is this a competition-use part or just for assembly?

Slot.it directs its spare parts for both recreational use and competition. This mount is commonly used by builders and competitors looking to precisely adjust their EVO6 chassis for optimal performance on track.
