CDC Slot 0.5 anglewinder motor mount

CDC Slot anglewinder motor mount offset 0.5: precision 3D printed for your chassis

The CDC Slot anglewinder motor mount with offset 0.5 is a preparation piece designed for those who fine-tune every detail of the assembly before racing. Manufactured using 3D printing, it combines a dual anchoring philosophy with a lateral movement margin that greatly simplifies the gear meshing between pinion and crown gear.

Main features

• Offset 0.5: motor displacement of 0.5 mm from the axis, designed to refine alignment in anglewinder configurations.
• Dual chassis anchoring system: H-type pivot (Slot.it style) with 4 fixing points and T-type monopivot with 3 fixing points, to adapt to different chassis designs.
• Lateral pinion adjustment: the mount features slight lateral movement that allows the pinion to be brought closer to or further from the crown gear, facilitating meshing without the need for additional machining.
• Compatible with single-flange bearings.
• Screws included: 3 screws and 3 nylon nuts of metric 2 (M2).
• Manufacturing: 3D printing.

Applications and compatibilities

This mount is aimed at anglewinder setups, a configuration where the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle. It is especially useful in competition chassis where an optimised weight distribution is sought or when working with motors that do not have a standard support.

The dual pivot option — H-type like Slot.it and T-type monopivot — expands its compatibility with a wide variety of chassis on the market, both commercial and custom-built. The lateral adjustment of the pinion is a highly valued practical advantage on the bench: it eliminates the need for shims or intermediate pieces to achieve the correct meshing.

Assembly and preparation

The assembly is straightforward thanks to the included M2 screws. The nylon nuts provide secure fastening that withstands vibrations without the need for excessive tightening, which is particularly practical in plastic or printed chassis. It is recommended to check the lateral play of the pinion before final tightening, taking advantage of the mount's movement margin to adjust the drivetrain clearance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between offset 0.5 and other available offsets?

The offset indicates the lateral displacement of the motor relative to the reference axis of the chassis. An offset of 0.5 mm is one of the most common values in competitive anglewinder setups, as it allows for correct alignment of the pinion with standard position crowns. If your chassis or crown requires a different displacement, CDC Slot can offer other versions with different offsets.

Is it compatible with any slot motor in anglewinder configuration?

The mount is designed for motors that are mounted in anglewinder position. Specific compatibility depends on the dimensions of the motor and the chassis. We recommend checking the dimensions of the motor casing and the anchoring points of your chassis before purchasing.

What type of bearings does it accept?

This mount is designed for single-flange bearings, which are the most common in competitive slot preparations.

Which pivot should I use, the H-type or the T-type?

It depends on the chassis you are using. The H-type pivot (4 fixing points, Slot.it style) is the most widespread in commercial competition chassis. The T-type monopivot (3 fixing points) is common in custom-built chassis or in certain lighter designs. The mount includes both options, so you can choose the one that best fits your setup.

Does 3D printing affect the rigidity or durability of the mount?

CDC Slot uses materials and printing parameters aimed at mechanical strength. Under normal track use conditions, the piece offers adequate performance. However, as with any 3D printed part, it is advisable to periodically check the tightness of the screws and the overall condition of the mount, especially after intensive racing sessions.

Does it include pinion or crown gear?

No, the mount is supplied only with the 3 screws and 3 nylon nuts M2 indicated. The pinion and crown gear are not included and must be purchased separately according to your setup needs.

The CDC Slot anglewinder motor mount with 0.5 offset is a 3D-printed slot car component designed for competitive and club racing builds. It features dual chassis mounting options — H-type (Slot.it style, 4 fixing points) and T-type monopivot (3 fixing points) — along with lateral adjustment for precise pinion-to-crown meshing. Compatible with single-flange bearings and supplied with three M2 screws and nylon nuts. An ideal choice for anglewinder slot car chassis preparation, custom builds, and performance tuning.
