Soft blue triangular angle motor support

The mount that makes a difference in the NSR anglewinder configuration

When preparing a slot car, the motor mount is one of those components that may seem secondary but has a direct impact on track performance. The NSR blue soft angle triangular motor mount (ref. NSR1256) is specifically designed for anglewinder configurations: the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle, allowing for optimised weight distribution and centre of gravity of the car.

Main features

• Anglewinder configuration: the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle, promoting a lower centre of gravity and better mass distribution.
• Soft version: the soft hardness of this mount provides greater vibration absorption capacity, smoothing the transmission of irregularities from the motor to the chassis.
• Blue colour: quick visual identification within the NSR catalogue, which colour codes its different hardnesses and versions of mounts.
• Triangular construction: the triangular geometry of the mount provides structural rigidity and precise anchoring, minimising unwanted motor movement during operation.
• Reference NSR1256: official NSR catalogue part, with the manufacturing guarantee and tolerances characteristic of this Italian brand.

Function and performance

The soft version of this mount is aimed at reducing the transmission of vibrations from the motor to the chassis. On track, this translates into smoother driving and less traction loss due to micro-vibrations, especially in high-revving motor configurations. The triangular mounting ensures that the motor remains well aligned with the drivetrain, a critical aspect for maintaining a correct gear ratio between pinion and crown gear.

Compatibility and installation

This mount is integrated into the NSR spare parts ecosystem and is compatible with the brand's anglewinder chassis and configurations. Before making a purchase, it is advisable to check compatibility with the specific chassis being prepared, as NSR offers various mount geometries adapted to different models. The installation is straightforward and does not require special tools, although we always recommend checking the motor-axle alignment after adjustment.

Usage recommendations

• Ensure that the pinion and crown gear are correctly meshed after mounting the mount: a slight misalignment can cause premature wear and loss of efficiency.
• The soft version is especially suitable for tracks with uneven surfaces or for motors that generate significant vibration. If you seek greater rigidity and a more direct response, NSR also offers versions in other hardnesses.
• Periodically check the condition of the mount: although it is a robust part, material fatigue can occur with intensive use in competition.

Ideal for…

This mount is designed for both club preparers who meticulously adjust their cars and enthusiasts looking to optimise an existing anglewinder configuration. If your project involves an angled motor and you want to reduce vibrations without compromising the solidity of the assembly, the NSR1256 is a direct and proven option.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the soft version and other hardnesses of the NSR mount?

The soft version better absorbs motor vibrations, which can improve smoothness and traction on uneven tracks. The harder versions offer a stiffer and more direct response, preferred on very technical circuits where precision is prioritised over damping.

Is this mount compatible with any NSR chassis?

It is designed for anglewinder configurations within the NSR catalogue, but exact compatibility depends on the chassis model. We recommend consulting the parts diagram of the chassis in question or contacting us before placing an order if you have specific doubts.

What does it mean for the motor to be in anglewinder configuration?

In the anglewinder configuration, the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle of the car. This allows for a different weight distribution compared to the sidewinder (motor parallel to the axle) or inline (motor in line with the axle), and is common in many competition setups due to the advantages it offers in balance and transmission.

Is any special tool required for installation?

No. The installation of this mount follows the usual system of NSR spare parts and does not require special tools. It is advisable to have an alignment tool to verify the correct meshing between pinion and crown gear after installation.

Can I use this mount in official competition?

It depends on the regulations of the championship or club in which you participate. NSR is a brand widely accepted in competition, but it is advisable to check the specific rules of your category regarding the type of mount allowed.

The NSR1256 triangular anglewinder motor mount in soft blue is a precision slot car component designed for anglewinder motor configurations. Part of NSR's official spare parts catalogue, it delivers effective vibration damping and solid motor alignment, making it a reliable choice for club racers and experienced hobbyists looking to fine-tune their slot car build. Compatible with NSR anglewinder chassis setups, this blue soft-version pod is a straightforward upgrade for those seeking smoother performance on track.
