Yellow extralight triangular cradle for angled motor

The NSR anglewinder pod in its lightest version

The NSR triangular pod for anglewinder motor is one of those small yet significant details that make a difference in a well-prepared chassis. Manufactured in the extralight version and identified by its yellow colour, this pod is designed to house the motor in an anglewinder configuration — that is, with the motor angled relative to the rear axle — and its main objective is to minimise weight to the essential minimum.

Main features

• Anglewinder configuration: the pod positions the motor at an angle to the rear axle, allowing for an efficient transmission combined with a favourable mass distribution in the chassis.
• Extralight version: the yellow colour identifies the extralight range of NSR, the lightest of the available options. Every gram counts when fine-tuning the car's balance.
• Triangular shape: the triangular design provides structural rigidity with minimal material, a classic compromise in competition components.
• Reference NSR1260: direct identification within the NSR catalogue to facilitate restocking and compatibility with other brand components.

Recommended applications

This pod is aimed at tuners and enthusiasts working with anglewinder chassis who seek to reduce the total weight of the car. It is particularly relevant in competition classes where the grams specified by the regulations require optimisation of each component, or simply when looking to improve the agility and response of the model on track.

Assembly and preparation

The assembly follows the usual procedures for NSR components: tight tolerances and finishes that allow for a clean installation without the need for additional machining in most cases. Before installation, it is advisable to verify that the chosen version is compatible with the specific motor and chassis being worked on, as NSR offers several variants of triangular pods with different finishes and weights.

Common mistakes

• Confusing the extralight (yellow) version with other versions of the same pod in different materials or colours. Each colour from NSR indicates a different weight specification.
• Assuming that any anglewinder pod is universally compatible: always check compatibility with your specific motor and chassis before placing an order.

Frequently asked questions

What does "extralight" mean in NSR components?

NSR uses a colour code to identify the weight of its components. The yellow colour corresponds to the extralight version, the lightest in the range. It is the usual choice when the goal is to minimise the total weight of the car.

What is the difference between anglewinder, sidewinder, and inline?

In an anglewinder, the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle. In a sidewinder, the motor runs parallel (transversely) to the rear axle. In an inline, the motor is perpendicular to the rear axle, in line with the car, which lowers the centre of gravity. Each configuration has its advantages depending on the type of chassis and the track.

Is this pod compatible with any NSR motor?

Not all motors are compatible with all pods. Check NSR's technical documentation or contact us to confirm compatibility with your motor and chassis before installation.

Can I combine extralight components with others from the NSR range?

Yes, as long as the dimensions and configuration are compatible. NSR designs its components to integrate within its own ecosystem of chassis and accessories, so combining versions is common in the preparation of competition cars.

Does the yellow colour imply any loss of rigidity compared to heavier versions?

The extralight version is optimised to offer the greatest possible lightness while maintaining adequate functional rigidity for competitive use. In very demanding applications, some tuners opt for more robust versions if they prioritise durability over weight. The choice depends on the class regulations and driving style.

The NSR1260 yellow extralight triangular anglewinder motor pod is a precision slot car component designed for weight reduction and optimised mass distribution. Part of NSR's colour-coded extralight range, this anglewinder pod is a go-to choice for club racers and competitive slot car builders looking to fine-tune their chassis setup with genuine NSR quality parts.
