Blue soft angle triangular motor mount EVO

Precision in Every Detail: the NSR EVO Blue Soft Angle Triangular Motor Mount

NSR is one of the leading brands in the slot car world when it comes to high-level spare parts and tuning components. Its catalogue of motor mounts is one of the most comprehensive and valued by club tuners, and the NSR EVO Blue Soft Angle Triangular Motor Mount (reference NSR1261) continues this tradition of technical demand and attention to detail.

Function and Performance

The motor mount is one of the elements that most influences the dynamic behaviour of a slot car. Its mission is to secure the motor to the chassis, ensuring the correct alignment between the motor pinion and the crown gear, which directly translates into a more efficient power transmission and more controlled wear of both parts.

The EVO version from NSR incorporates design improvements over previous generations, seeking greater rigidity where needed while simultaneously providing adequate vibration absorption thanks to its soft composition. This balance between firmness and damping is key to maintaining the contact of the pinion with the crown gear without transmitting the motor's oscillations at high revolutions to the chassis.

• Anglewinder configuration: the motor is mounted at an angle relative to the rear axle, combining the advantages of a low centre of gravity with a direct and efficient transmission.
• Soft version: material with a higher capacity for vibration absorption, especially recommended for technical tracks and high-revving motors.
• Blue colour: identifying the EVO version within the NSR range, facilitating quick differentiation on the workbench.
• Triangular design: geometry that provides structural rigidity while optimising the weight of the assembly.

Compatibility and Installation

This mount is designed to integrate into NSR chassis compatible with anglewinder configuration. Before installing it, it is advisable to verify compatibility with the specific chassis of your car, as NSR has different geometries and versions depending on the model. If in doubt, consult the technical documentation of the chassis or contact us.

The installation is straightforward for those already familiar with slot car preparation, but attention should be paid to the tightening: a mount that is too loose generates play in the transmission, while excessive tightening can overly stiffen the assembly, negating the damping effect of the soft material.

Usage Recommendations

• Always check the play between the pinion and crown gear after installing the mount: there should be minimal play to avoid locking and excessive noise.
• On very technical tracks with a lot of direction changes, the soft version helps maintain rear traction by better absorbing the motor's jolts.
• Store any surplus mounts in a cool place away from direct light: soft materials can degrade with prolonged exposure to heat.

Ideal for…

This mount is the choice of tuners looking to refine the mechanics of their NSR cars in anglewinder configuration, both for club competition and for use on demanding home circuits. The NSR EVO range is designed for those who do not settle for stock adjustments and want to explore the true potential of their material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a soft mount and a standard one?

The soft mount is made from a more flexible material, capable of absorbing the motor's vibrations before they reach the chassis. This results in smoother driving and less transmission of resonances, which is especially noticeable with high-revving motors or on tracks with uneven surfaces.

What does anglewinder configuration mean?

In an anglewinder car, the motor is mounted at an angle relative to the rear axle. This allows for a lower profile than the sidewinder (motor parallel to the axle) while providing a direct and compact transmission, making it a very popular option in competition setups.

Is this mount compatible with all NSR chassis?

Not necessarily. NSR has several chassis with different geometries. Check the specific compatibility of the NSR1261 reference with your car's chassis before placing an order. We are here to assist you.

Can I combine this mount with motors from other brands?

The mount is designed for motors of the standard format in NSR cars. Compatibility with motors from other brands depends on the physical dimensions of the motor in question. Always verify the measurements before attempting installation.

How often should I check or replace the mount?

It depends on usage. In intense competition, it is advisable to check the mount after each long running session to detect any possible deformations or loss of firmness. A worn mount can cause variations in the pinion-crown gear engagement, leading to performance loss or abnormal noises.

The NSR EVO soft blue triangular motor mount (NSR1261) is a precision anglewinder motor support designed for slot car racing enthusiasts and club competitors. Part of NSR's EVO range, it combines structural rigidity with vibration-absorbing soft material, ensuring optimal pinion-to-crown alignment and smooth power transmission. Compatible with NSR anglewinder chassis configurations, it is a go-to choice for slot car builders looking to fine-tune their mechanical setup at the highest level.
