An Anglewinder pod designed to perform beyond the first corner
The Anglewinder 3DP Motor Mount (HSR-2107) is a mounting cradle for long-can motors with an anglewinder configuration, manufactured using 3D printing with a material that enhances the torsional stiffness of the assembly. Compatible with any chassis on the market that accepts the Slot.it-style pod format, it becomes a serious tuning piece for those who want to adjust their drivetrain with precision.
Main features
- Anglewinder configuration: the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle, allowing for optimised mass distribution and power transmission.
- Three offset configurations available: precise adaptation to the chassis and the desired gear ratio depending on the installation.
- Increased torsional stiffness: the composition and geometry of the piece reinforce the pod against the torsions generated during acceleration and braking.
- Continuous lubrication system: the cradle acts as a lubricant reservoir; the oil is retained inside and, due to centrifugal force, continuously lubricates the bearings and axle during operation.
- Ball bearings included for 2.38 mm axle, with one lip. Compatible with any standard one-lip bearing and 2.38 mm axles on the market.
Compatibility
This pod is valid for any chassis that accepts the Slot.it-style pod system in anglewinder configuration. Whether in injected plastic or prepared chassis, the installation follows the de facto standard that most manufacturers of competitive slot chassis have adopted.
The included ball bearings correspond to the 2.38 mm axle, the most common in competitive slot cars. If you already have preferred bearings, they are interchangeable as long as they are one-lip and accommodate that axle diameter.
Installation and preparation
The installation does not require special tools beyond the usual ones in the slot preparation workshop. When installing the cradle, it is advisable to apply a small amount of specific bearing oil inside the pod before closing the assembly: the design itself will distribute it and keep it circulating during operation. Choose the offset that best suits your crown-pinion ratio and the available space in your chassis before permanently fixing the position.
Ideal for…
- Preparers and club drivers looking for greater consistency in the transmission and less wear on the rear axle.
- Custom chassis builders working with anglewinder configuration who need a reliable and adjustable cradle.
- Enthusiasts who want to minimise maintenance thanks to the integrated continuous lubrication system.
Frequently asked questions
What type of motor is this pod designed for?
It is designed for long-can motors in anglewinder configuration, that is, with the motor mounted at an angle to the rear axle. It is not intended for sidewinder (motor parallel to the axle) or inline (motor in line with the axle) configurations.
Which chassis is it compatible with?
With any chassis on the market that accepts the Slot.it-style pod format in anglewinder. It is the most widespread standard in competitive slot preparation.
Are the ball bearings included?
Yes. The cradle is supplied with ball bearings for 2.38 mm one-lip axles. Additionally, they are interchangeable with any compatible bearing of that diameter that you already have in your workshop.
What advantage does the integrated lubrication system offer?
The geometry of the cradle retains the lubricant inside. During operation, centrifugal force continuously distributes the oil over the bearings and axle, reducing friction and extending the lifespan of the components without the need for lubrication between heats.
What does offset mean and what are the available options?
Offset is the lateral distance between the motor axle and the rear axle, which determines the possible gear ratio and the position of the assembly within the chassis. This pod offers three distinct offset configurations to adapt to different installations and tuning preferences.
Do I need any adhesive or fastener to install it?
The installation follows the standard Slot.it pod system. Depending on the chassis and the use (free practice or competition), some preparers add a drop of low-strength glue or simply rely on mechanical fit. There is no specific requirement indicated by the manufacturer beyond conventional installation.
The HSR-2107 3D-printed anglewinder motor mount is a precision slot car racing component designed for long-can motors, fully compatible with Slot.it-style pod chassis systems. Featuring three offset configurations, integrated ball bearings for 2.38 mm axles, and a centrifugal self-lubrication system that keeps oil circulating continuously around the bearings, this pod offers improved torsional stiffness and reduced drivetrain wear. A reliable upgrade for competitive slot car builders and club racers looking for consistent anglewinder performance.
