The medium angle triangular motor mount in black from NSR (NSR1257) is the key component for setting up an anglewinder drivetrain with the right geometry. Stiffness, precision, and compatibility with the NSR Evo range in a single component.
Angular geometry with NSR stamp: the medium angle triangular mount in its black version
Within the NSR motor mount family, the NSR1257 occupies a very specific place: it defines the motor inclination angle in an anglewinder configuration, positioning it at an intermediate point between the minimum and maximum angles available in the Evo range. This mounting decision directly influences the car's weight distribution, the height of the centre of gravity, and the transmission efficiency to the rear axle.
Function and performance
In an anglewinder chassis, the motor is placed at an angle to the rear axle. The triangular mount is the component that determines and fixes that angle accurately. A medium angle offers a balance between the compactness of the assembly and the height of the centre of gravity: not as low as an inline, but with better lateral distribution than a pure sidewinder.
- Medium angle: intermediate positioning of the motor within the NSR Evo triangular mount range, ideal for those seeking a balance between traction and manoeuvrability.
- Black colour: standard finish that facilitates visual integration into most NSR chassis.
- Evo family: specifically designed to fit NSR's Evo chassis and motors, ensuring tight tolerances and secure mounting.
- Structural rigidity: the triangular design adds strength to the assembly without adding unnecessary weight.
Compatibility and mounting
This mount is designed for the NSR Evo range. Before purchasing, it is advisable to confirm that your chassis supports this type of triangular mount and that the motor you are going to install is compatible with the Evo housing. If you have doubts about which angle best suits your configuration —low, medium, or high— we recommend consulting with the Ministry of Hobby team or reviewing the technical documentation from NSR for your chassis model.
Which angle to choose?
The choice of the motor mount angle in an anglewinder is not arbitrary: it affects the car's behaviour on track. A higher angle raises the motor and can provide more rear traction in slow corners; a lower angle brings it closer to the ground and improves stability at high speed. The medium angle, like that of this NSR1257, is a versatile option that works well on mixed circuits and is a good starting point for those testing configurations.
Usage recommendations
- Check the alignment of the motor with the rear axle after mounting to avoid vibrations or power loss.
- Combine it with the appropriate crown gear and pinion for the gear ratio you are seeking.
- Periodically check the mount adjustment, especially after long running sessions.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between low, medium, and high angles in NSR triangular mounts?
Each angle positions the motor at a different height relative to the chassis. The low angle favours a lower centre of gravity and greater stability at high speed; the high angle can improve traction on slow and technical circuits; the medium angle, like that of this NSR1257, offers balanced behaviour and is the most versatile for mixed circuits.
Is it compatible with any NSR motor?
It is designed for the NSR Evo range. Not all NSR motors share the same housing, so it is important to confirm that your motor fits the Evo format before mounting.
Can I use this mount on chassis from other brands?
The NSR1257 is intended for NSR Evo chassis. Its use on chassis from other brands will depend on the tolerances and design of each manufacturer; we cannot guarantee compatibility outside the NSR range.
Does the black colour have any technical function or is it just aesthetic?
In this case, the colour identifies the variant within the NSR range, but it does not imply a difference in material or rigidity compared to other colour versions. It is a classification criterion of the manufacturer.
Do I need special tools to mount it?
The mounting does not require special tools beyond the usual ones for preparing slot cars: precision screwdrivers and, if necessary, a motor aligner to ensure the correct position relative to the rear axle.
The NSR1257 triangular motor mount in medium angle and black finish is a precise anglewinder setup component from NSR's Evo range, designed for slot car racing enthusiasts looking to fine-tune motor position and weight distribution. Compatible with NSR Evo chassis, this motor pod offers a balanced geometry between low and high angle options, making it a versatile choice for mixed-layout tracks and club competition.
