The SRC T1 anglewinder pod, everything included for assembly without improvisation
The AW T1 Motor Pod from SRC (ref. RM1609) is a complete kit designed for the installation of a motor in an anglewinder configuration — that is, with the motor positioned at an angle to the rear axle — in competitive slot car chassis. SRC has considered every detail: from the bearings to the Allen keys, ensuring that the builder does not need to search for anything else before getting started.
Kit Contents
The RM1609 set includes all the components necessary for the complete assembly of the pod:
- 1 x Anglewinder CHRONO motor pod
- 2 x 2.38 mm bearings with a tolerance of 0.25
- 1 x hollow drive axle 2.38 mm × 59.45 mm in length
- 1 x Bolt system T1 mount for pod + 1 x Bolt system T1 mount for chassis + 1 x 2.5 × 6 mm standoff
- 5 x RM1014 micro screws for aeromodelling 1.6 × 4 mm (special head, plastic thread)
- 1 x stopper with 2 standoffs + 1 x 1.8 mm spacer (RM0507)
- 1 + 1 central bolt (Bolt) Steel + Nylon
- 2 x motor screws + 1 x FLAT motor mount + 1 x FK motor mount
- 4 x micro screws 1.4 × 4 mm (RM1021)
- 2 x lateral damper mounts + 2 x SUPREMEX 2 screws (RM1017)
- 1 x rear damper mount + 2 x SUPREMEX 4 screws (RM1024)
- 1 + 1 Allen keys 1.3 mm / 0.9 mm + 4 x standoff 2.5 × 2.5 mm + 4 x standoff 2 × 2 mm
- 1 x DPZ SRC H-0 screwdriver
Bolt T1 System: Vibration-free fastening
The Bolt system is one of the distinguishing features of this pod. Thanks to the central steel bolt combined with the nylon insert, the connection between the pod and chassis absorbs micro-vibrations from the motor without adding play or slack. The result is a cleaner transmission, particularly noticeable in high-revving motors mounted in anglewinder configuration.
Precision Bearings and Axle
The two 2.38 mm bearings with a tolerance of 0.25 ensure that the hollow axle rotates with minimal resistance. The 59.45 mm long axle provides sufficient margin to accommodate different track widths within the usual range of competitive chassis for which this pod is designed.
Damper Mounts: Stability across the rear end
The inclusion of 2 lateral damper mounts (with SUPREMEX 2 screws) and 1 rear damper mount (with SUPREMEX 4 screws) allows for controlled management of the rear end's flexibility, which makes a difference on technical circuits with many changes in pace.
Included Fasteners and Tools
SRC includes special head aeromodelling screws, standoffs in two sizes, and notably, the Allen keys (1.3 mm and 0.9 mm) and the DPZ H-0 screwdriver. It is uncommon for a pod kit to come so well equipped: it is a real advantage for those starting to prepare chassis and who do not yet have a complete set of workshop tools.
Who is this kit for?
- Slot chassis builders looking for a complete anglewinder pod without having to gather loose parts.
- Club competitors wanting to assemble or upgrade the rear end with precision components.
- Hobbyists taking their first steps in technical preparation and valuing the inclusion of tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an anglewinder and a sidewinder pod?
In an anglewinder pod, the motor is placed at an angle to the rear axle, allowing for a lower centre of gravity while achieving a good mass distribution. In a sidewinder, the motor is parallel (transverse) to the rear axle. Each configuration has its advantages depending on the type of chassis and circuit.
Which motors are compatible with this pod?
The technical sheet from SRC does not specify a closed list of compatible motors. To ensure compatibility with your specific motor, we recommend consulting with our technical team before placing your order.
Do I need to glue the pod or is it mechanically fixed?
The Bolt T1 system included in the kit is designed for mechanical fastening using the steel bolt and nylon insert, without the need for adhesives. This facilitates adjustment and subsequent disassembly.
Does the kit include everything necessary for assembly or do I need to buy anything else?
The RM1609 kit is designed to be self-sufficient: it includes bearings, axle, mounts, specific fasteners, and tools. However, the chassis to which the pod is intended is not included and must be purchased separately.
What does the tolerance of 0.25 in the bearings mean?
The tolerance of 0.25 in 2.38 mm bearings indicates the adjustment margin between the axle and the bearing. A well-defined tolerance ensures that the axle rotates without excessive slack but without tightness, reducing friction and improving power transmission.
What is the DPZ SRC H-0 screwdriver?
It is a precision screwdriver from the SRC brand itself, designed to work with the special head fasteners included in the kit. Its inclusion in the pack is a practical detail that avoids the need to search for it separately.
