Anglewinder Evo2 Blue long box motor mount

Anglewinder precision with the NSR seal: Evo2 blue long box motor mount

The Anglewinder Evo2 motor mount from NSR (reference 1220) is one of the most valued components by builders working with anglewinder configurations. Designed to house the motor at an angle relative to the rear axle, this mount optimises mass distribution within the chassis and maximises the potential of the angled transmission. The blue long box version is intended for setups that require greater distance between the motor and the rear axle, expanding configuration possibilities.

Main features

• Anglewinder configuration: the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle, a layout that combines compactness and transmission efficiency.
• Long box format: offers greater versatility in motor positioning within the chassis, especially useful in bodies with a longer wheelbase or in custom setups.
• Blue colour: quick visual identification on the workbench, within the colour range of NSR for its Evo2 mounts.
• Manufactured by NSR: a leading brand in high-precision slot parts, with a wide catalogue of interchangeable and well-documented components.

Function and performance

The motor mount is a critical component in any slot setup: it determines the alignment of the motor with the crown gear, conditions the rigidity of the transmission train, and directly affects the car's behaviour on track. A well-manufactured mount reduces vibrations, minimises friction losses, and facilitates precise adjustment of the pinion-crown gear play. The NSR Evo2 meets these demands with careful construction and tight tolerances.

Compatibility and installation

This mount is designed to integrate into NSR chassis compatible with the anglewinder configuration. Before purchasing, it is advisable to verify that the long box length fits the available space in your chassis and that the mounting angle is compatible with the motor and crown gear you will be using. NSR offers a wide range of pinions, crown gears, and axles that allow for a fully coordinated transmission train.

Common mistakes

• Confusing the long box version with the standard version: both have the same angle but different lengths, which affects the motor positioning in the chassis.
• Mixing mounts from different generations (Evo1 / Evo2) without checking compatibility of measurements.
• Not checking the pinion-crown gear play after installation: although the mount is precise, incorrect tightening can lead to losses or premature wear.

Ideal for…

Builders and club racers working with NSR chassis in anglewinder configuration who seek a reliable, reproducible, and easy-to-replace mount between sessions. It is also a good choice for those constructing a custom chassis and wanting to rely on parts from a brand with a solid catalogue and a large reference community.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an anglewinder mount and a sidewinder mount?

In a sidewinder setup, the motor is parallel to the rear axle (transverse). In an anglewinder, the motor is placed at an angle to that axle, allowing for a different mass distribution and, in many cases, better weight balance within the chassis.

What does "long box" mean in this mount?

The long box indicates that the distance between the motor mounting point and the rear axle is greater than in the standard version. This allows for certain combinations of chassis and body where more space is needed to accommodate the motor.

Is it compatible with all NSR chassis?

Not necessarily with all. It is advisable to consult the diagram of your NSR chassis and verify that it accepts the Evo2 version in long box format before proceeding with the installation.

Does the blue colour indicate any technical characteristic or is it just for identification?

In the NSR range, the colour of the mounts is usually indicative to differentiate versions within the same family. It does not imply a difference in material or hardness compared to other versions of the Evo2.

Do I need any special tools to install this mount?

The installation is standard in slot preparation: a suitable screwdriver and, if you want to ensure the adjustment of the transmission train, a caliper or gauge to check the pinion-crown gear play. No special tooling is required.

The NSR1220 Anglewinder Evo2 motor mount in blue, long box version, is a precision slot car component for anglewinder configurations. Designed for NSR chassis, it ensures accurate motor alignment and reliable power transmission. A top choice for slot car racing enthusiasts, club racers and serious builders looking for consistent performance on track.
