EVO 6 Angle Mount: Adjustment and Precision for Your Anglewinder Setup
The EVO 6 angle mount (reference SICH61) is a preparation component manufactured by Slot.it, one of the leading brands in the competitive slot racing world. Designed for Boxer/Flat motors, this mount allows the motor to be installed in an anglewinder configuration — that is, with the motor tilted at an angle relative to the rear axle — a layout highly valued in slot car preparation for the balance it offers between the height of the motor-pinion assembly and mass distribution.
Features and Function
- Motor Type: anglewinder (motor at an angle to the rear axle).
- Compatible Motor: Boxer / Flat.
- Chassis Compatibility: suitable for most Slot.it chassis.
- Official Reference: SICH61.
What is the Purpose of an Angle Mount?
The mount is the part that holds and positions the motor within the chassis. In an anglewinder configuration, the motor is tilted, allowing for a low centre of gravity combined with efficient transmission to the rear axle. The EVO 6 mount ensures that the Boxer/Flat motor is correctly aligned with the crown gear and pinion, minimizing vibrations and power losses due to misalignment.
It is a direct replacement part and also a common tuning piece for those building or modifying Slot.it chassis with this type of motorisation.
Compatibility and Installation
The EVO 6 mount is compatible with most Slot.it chassis. If you have doubts about whether it fits a specific chassis, we recommend consulting the technical documentation of the chassis on the official Slot.it website or contacting our team at Ministry of Hobby.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a sidewinder mount and an anglewinder mount?
In a sidewinder configuration, the motor is parallel to the rear axle (transverse). In an anglewinder, the motor is mounted at an angle relative to that axle. The EVO 6 mount corresponds to the anglewinder configuration.
Which motors are compatible with this mount?
According to official Slot.it information, the SICH61 mount is designed for Boxer / Flat type motors. We do not recommend it for other motor formats without verifying physical compatibility.
Which Slot.it chassis is it compatible with?
The EVO 6 mount is valid for most Slot.it chassis. To confirm exact compatibility with a specific chassis, consult the official brand website or contact us.
Do I need special tools to install it?
Mounting mounts on Slot.it chassis does not require special tools, although a precision screwdriver and an appropriate Allen key facilitate the process. Proper alignment of the motor-pinion-crown assembly is crucial for final performance.
Is it sold as an individual unit?
Yes, the EVO 6 SICH61 mount is sold as an individual unit, as stated in the product sheet.
