Offset Motor Mount 0.0mm Angewinder Carbon EVO6 Bearings

The carbon Anglewinder motor pod that makes a difference in slot preparation

The SICH117C is the carbon fibre Anglewinder motor pod from Slot.it's EVO6 series, with a 0.0mm offset. A preparation component designed for those looking to reduce weight, gain structural rigidity, and fine-tune the geometry of their drivetrain to the maximum.

Main features

• Material: carbon fibre, with the weight reduction and increased rigidity that this implies compared to engineering plastic versions.
• Motor type: Anglewinder — the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle, combining advantages of compactness and mass distribution.
• Offset: 0.0mm, meaning no lateral displacement of the motor relative to the axle. Ideal when the chassis configuration does not require positional correction.
• Motor compatibility: standard and Flat motors.
• Prepared for bearings: accepts SICH105 ball bearings (3/32" / 2.38mm bearings for motor mounts and tensioners of the 4WD system) or similar in the same size. Bearings are not included.
• Series: EVO6, within the Slot.it spare parts and preparation ecosystem.

Function and performance

In a competitive slot car, the motor pod is much more than a mounting piece: it determines the transmission angle, the height of the motor-pinion assembly relative to the crown gear, and the mass distribution on the rear axle. Opting for a carbon fibre pod like the SICH117C provides superior rigidity compared to conventional plastic pods, resulting in cleaner power transmission, less vibration absorbed by the chassis, and greater consistency in the pinion-crown engagement throughout the race.

The use of ball bearings instead of bushings is another qualitative leap: less friction, greater energy efficiency of the motor, and a more direct response in acceleration. The SICH117C is specifically designed to accommodate this type of bearing, ensuring direct integration without adaptations.

Compatibility and assembly

This pod is part of the Slot.it modular system, designed to work in coordination with the other components of the EVO6 range. Its 0.0mm offset makes it the reference option when mounted directly on Slot.it chassis without the need for lateral corrections in motor position.

For correct assembly, it is essential to select the appropriate bearings for the pod. Slot.it recommends the SICH105 (3/32" / 2.38mm ball bearing), which is also compatible with tensioners of the 4WD system. Any bearing of the same outer and inner dimensions can be used, provided the preparer verifies the fit tolerance.

Ideal for…

• Preparers working with Slot.it chassis in Anglewinder configuration who seek to reduce unsprung weight on the rear axle.
• Club or competition drivers who want to eliminate pod flex as a variable in car tuning.
• Enthusiasts transitioning from bushings to bearings in their motor configuration.

Points to consider

• Bearings are not included in the pack. Ensure you have SICH105 or equivalents before assembly.
• 0.0mm offset: if your chassis requires lateral motor displacement to adjust the pinion position relative to the crown gear, you will need a pod with the corresponding offset.
• Check compatibility with your version of Slot.it chassis before assembly, especially if working with older versions of the platform.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a carbon pod and an engineering plastic one?

Carbon fibre offers greater rigidity with less weight. In practice, this translates to less deformation under load, better alignment of the motor-pinion-crown assembly, and less mass on the rear axle, which can improve the car's response during direction changes.

Are the bearings included?

No. The SICH117C includes only the pod. SICH105 bearings (3/32" / 2.38mm) must be purchased separately.

What type of motors is this pod compatible with?

According to the data provided by Slot.it, it is compatible with standard and Flat motors. It is not indicated for motors of other geometries without verifying physical compatibility.

What does the 0.0mm offset mean?

The offset indicates the lateral displacement of the motor relative to the rear axle. A 0.0mm offset means the motor is perfectly centred, with no lateral correction. It is the most common option when the chassis does not require pinion position adjustment.

Is this pod compatible with chassis from other brands?

The SICH117C is designed within the Slot.it ecosystem. Its compatibility with chassis from other brands depends on the physical dimensions of the mounting point. We recommend verifying before assembly if used on a third-party chassis.

How does the Anglewinder differ from the Sidewinder or Inline?

In the Anglewinder configuration, the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle, allowing for better mass distribution and more efficient transmission than the Sidewinder (transverse motor, parallel to the axle) in certain types of chassis. The Inline, on the other hand, places the motor in line longitudinally with the car, lowering the centre of gravity.

The Slot.it SICH117C is a carbon fibre Anglewinder motor pod with 0.0mm offset, designed for the EVO6 system and compatible with standard and Flat motors. Built to accept ball bearings (3/32" / 2.38mm, such as SICH105, sold separately), it delivers superior rigidity and reduced weight compared to standard engineering plastic pods — a must-have upgrade for competitive slot car builders looking to fine-tune their rear axle geometry and improve power transmission efficiency.
