EVO6 angled chassis 0.5mm OFFSET

Detail-tuned geometry: EVO6 angled mount with 0.5 mm OFFSET for long-can motors

The EVO6 angled mount with 0.5 mm OFFSET is a tuning piece aimed at enthusiasts working with long-can motors in anglewinder configuration. This small but crucial 0.5 mm displacement allows for adjustment of the motor's position relative to the rear axle, directly influencing belt tension, transmission mesh, and ultimately, the car's behaviour on track.

Function and performance

In an anglewinder setup, the mount is the component that secures the motor at an angle to the rear axle. Its geometry determines the distance between pinion and crown gear, so any variation in OFFSET—even by tenths of a millimetre—has a real impact on power transmission and rolling smoothness.

The value of 0.5 mm OFFSET for this EVO6 mount is designed to adjust the mesh in situations where the standard configuration is either too loose or too tight, depending on the motor, crown gear, and pinion combination used. It is a precision tool, not a generic component.

Compatibility

This mount is intended for long-can motors installed in anglewinder configuration. Before purchasing, it is advisable to verify that the chassis or receiving mount is compatible with the EVO6 system and that the transmission set (pinion, crown gear, and belt, if applicable) is designed to work with this specific OFFSET.

Installation and preparation

• Always check the play between pinion and crown gear after installing the mount: there should be minimal clearance, without excessive tightness or play.
• Combine this OFFSET with the appropriate pinion and crown gear for your target gear ratio.
• Check the alignment of the rear axle before closing the chassis to avoid lateral stresses that affect rolling.
• If working with a drive belt, ensure that the resulting tension is neither excessive nor insufficient with this OFFSET value.

Common mistakes

• Confusing the necessary OFFSET: each combination of motor, pinion, and crown gear may require a different OFFSET. Do not assume that 0.5 mm is valid without verifying it on the bench.
• Not checking the mesh after installation: installing the mount without reviewing the transmission play can lead to premature wear or loss of power.
• Over-tightening the fixing screws: this can deform the mount and alter the mounting geometry.

Ideal for…

Club preparers and competitors working with anglewinder chassis and long-can motors, who need to fine-tune the transmission beyond standard options. Also for those building custom chassis and seeking specific OFFSET references for each project.

Frequently asked questions

What does the OFFSET value in a mount actually mean?

The OFFSET indicates the lateral displacement of the motor relative to the central reference position. In this case, 0.5 mm displaces the motor—and thus the pinion—0.5 mm relative to the crown gear axis, modifying the transmission engagement point.

What type of motorisation is this mount designed for?

It is designed for anglewinder configurations, where the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle. It is not suitable for sidewinder mounts (motor transversely parallel to the axle) or inline (motor longitudinally in line with the car).

How do I know if I need 0.5 mm OFFSET or a different value?

It depends on the specific combination of motor, pinion, crown gear, and chassis. The most advisable approach is to test on the bench with the complete set and check the mesh play. There are mounts with different OFFSET values available to choose the most suitable for each setup.

Is it compatible with any long-can motor?

The EVO6 mount is intended for long-can motors, but it is always advisable to check the physical dimensions of the motor and the geometry of the receiving chassis before installation, as there are differences between manufacturers.

Can I combine this mount with different gear ratios?

Yes, as long as the resulting OFFSET is compatible with the diameter and position of the chosen pinion and crown gear. Changing the gear ratio may require checking if the OFFSET remains optimal for that new set.
