EVO6 angled bench 1.0mm OFFSET

Precision in the angle: EVO6 mount with 1.0 mm OFFSET for long can

The EVO6 1.0 mm OFFSET mount (ref. SICH74) is a specific replacement part from Slot.it designed for the correct installation and alignment of long can motors in anglewinder configuration. The 1.0 mm OFFSET value allows for lateral positioning of the motor with the necessary precision to optimise the mesh between pinion and crown gear, which makes a difference both on club tracks and in competition.

Function and performance

The mount is the element that holds and positions the motor within the chassis. In an anglewinder configuration — where the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle — the mount directly determines the distance between the pinion and crown gear. An OFFSET of 1.0 mm adjusts that lateral distance to achieve the correct backlash, reducing gear wear and improving power transmission.

This version is specifically designed for long can motors, so it is essential to verify that your motor corresponds to this format before installation.

Compatibility

The EVO6 mount is part of the Slot.it chassis and replacement parts ecosystem. It is compatible with EVO6 family chassis that accept anglewinder motors with long cans. If you have questions about the exact compatibility with your chassis or pinion/crown gear combination, consult the technical documentation from Slot.it or ask us.

Assembly and preparation

• Verify that the motor is a long can before installing this mount.
• The 1.0 mm OFFSET is an intermediate value: ensure it corresponds to the gear mesh you need with your pinion and crown gear combination.
• Slot.it offers mounts with different OFFSET values; if the mesh is not adjusted with 1.0 mm, try higher or lower values depending on the result.
• After assembly, check the backlash by manually rotating the rear axle: it should roll smoothly and without excessive play.

Common mistakes

• Confusing long can with short can: both motor formats have different dimensions and each requires its specific mount. Installing the incorrect mount may result in the motor being poorly secured or the gear mesh being unfeasible.
• Choosing the OFFSET by elimination: the OFFSET value must be calculated based on the pinion and crown gear combination you plan to use. Not all 1.0 mm values are suitable for all configurations.
• Not checking the backlash after assembly: a mesh that is too tight generates heat and accelerated wear; one that is too loose causes power loss and noise.

Preparers and enthusiasts working with Slot.it EVO6 family chassis in anglewinder configuration with long can motors, who need a specific 1.0 mm OFFSET adjustment to optimise transmission.

Frequently asked questions

What does OFFSET mean in a slot mount?

The OFFSET indicates the lateral displacement of the motor relative to the base position. This value directly affects the distance between the pinion and crown gear axes, allowing for precise adjustment of the backlash.

What type of motor is this mount designed for?

According to the manufacturer's information, this mount is designed for long can motors. It is not interchangeable with the short can version.

What is an anglewinder configuration?

In an anglewinder, the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle. This arrangement allows for the combination of the advantages of the sidewinder (transverse motor) and inline (longitudinal motor), offering a lower centre of gravity than the sidewinder and an interesting weight distribution for certain layouts.

How do I know what OFFSET value I need?

It depends on the pinion and crown gear combination you use. Slot.it offers several mounts with different OFFSET values. The usual practice is to test with values close to the standard until you find the optimal backlash: the mesh should roll smoothly without perceptible play.

Is it compatible with all Slot.it chassis?

This mount is specific to the EVO6 chassis family. Do not assume compatibility with other Slot.it chassis families without verifying it in the manufacturer's technical documentation.

The Slot.it EVO6 1.0mm OFFSET motor mount (ref. SICH74) is a precision anglewinder motor bracket designed for long-can motors. It provides a 1.0 mm lateral offset for accurate pinion-to-crown mesh adjustment, minimising backlash and ensuring smooth power transfer. An essential upgrade part for slot car racing enthusiasts building or tuning EVO6 chassis for club racing or competition.
