Rally angle motor mount

The anglewinder mount designed for Avant Slot rally chassis

The Rally angle motor mount (ref. AV20519B) is the component you need when working with Avant Slot rally chassis that do not accommodate a separate motor pod. Its geometry allows the motor to be positioned in an anglewinder configuration — that is, with the motor shaft forming an angle with respect to the rear axle — a setup highly valued in competitive slot racing for its balance between compactness and torque transmission.

Function and performance

The anglewinder mounting offers several advantages over other configurations: it allows for a more central weight distribution than the classic sidewinder and maintains a contained motor height. In rally cars, where the chassis often has specific geometries and tighter interior space, having a dedicated mount like this makes the difference between a clean assembly and an improvised one that compromises the alignment of the rear axle.

Compatibility

This mount is designed for the rally models of Avant Slot whose chassis do not support a separate motor pod. Before purchasing, confirm that your specific model fits into this category by consulting your chassis documentation or contacting us.

Assembly and preparation

• Verify that the motor you are going to use is compatible with the mount's housing before starting the assembly.
• Check the alignment of the pinion with the crown gear after securing the mount: any angular deviation is amplified in the wear of the teeth.
• Tighten the fixing screws progressively and evenly to avoid stresses that could deform the mount.
• Once assembled, manually rotate the rear axle to detect any possible rubbing before putting the car on track.

Frequently asked questions

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

In the anglewinder configuration, the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle. The sidewinder places the motor parallel (transversely) to the rear axle. The inline positions it in line with the axle, longitudinally, which lowers the centre of gravity. Each configuration influences the car's behaviour on track.

Which Avant Slot models is this mount suitable for?

It is suitable for Avant Slot rally cars whose chassis do not support a separate motor pod. If you have doubts about whether your model fits, consult us with your car's reference, and we will confirm compatibility.

Can I use this mount with motors from other brands?

It depends on the motor dimensions. The mount is designed for the motors specified by Avant Slot for these chassis. If you want to install a motor from another brand, verify beforehand that its casing dimensions are compatible with the mount's housing.

Is it sold with included screws?

The manufacturer's description does not specify whether screws are included. We recommend confirming this at the time of order or preparing the standard slot preparation screws commonly used in this type of assembly.
