Offset Motor Mount 1.25mm Carbon Anglewinder EVO6

Precision in the Angle: the Slot.it SICH123 Carbon Motor Mount for Anglewinder

The reference SICH123 from Slot.it is a carbon motor mount, specifically designed for the Anglewinder configuration — that is, with the motor positioned at an angle to the rear axle — and with a 1.25 mm offset. It belongs to the EVO6 family, the most refined evolution of the Italian brand's modular chassis line.

Main Features

• Carbon Material: reduces weight to a minimum without sacrificing stiffness, which is critical when every gram affects the car's balance.
• Anglewinder Configuration: the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle, allowing for a good mass distribution combined with a direct and efficient transmission.
• 1.25 mm Offset: precise lateral displacement of the motor-pinion assembly, key for adjusting the mesh with the crown gear and optimising power transmission.
• EVO6 Family: designed to integrate with the modular chassis and components of the Slot.it EVO6 series, ensuring direct compatibility within the brand's ecosystem.

Function and Performance

The motor mount is a silent yet decisive component in the behaviour of any slot car in competition. Its function is to secure the motor in the exact position so that the pinion meshes correctly with the crown gear, maintaining that geometry under the vibration and heat of an extended session. Carbon provides a double advantage here: it is lighter than standard technical plastic and maintains its shape with greater dimensional stability.

The 1.25 mm offset determines the lateral separation between the motor shaft and the car's centreline, which directly influences the mesh of the pinion with the crown gear. Choosing the correct offset is as important as selecting the motor itself: an incorrect adjustment generates noise, premature wear, and loss of transmitted power.

Compatibility and Installation

This mount is designed for Slot.it modular chassis of the EVO6 series. If you are preparing or tuning a car on one of these platforms in Anglewinder configuration, the SICH123 is the reference part for that installation with a 1.25 mm offset. Always check that the selected pinion and crown gear are compatible with the chosen offset to achieve optimal mesh without play or excessive pressure before installation.

Ideal for…

This mount is intended for enthusiasts who build or adjust their cars with a competitive mindset: club racers looking to extract maximum performance from their drivetrain, tuners working with EVO6 chassis who want to fine-tune the setup in detail, or simply enthusiasts who know that carbon parts make a difference when the clock is ticking.

Considerations

• Ensure that the 1.25 mm offset is suitable for your pinion and crown gear combination before placing your order.
• Compatibility is optimised for the Slot.it EVO6 ecosystem; check integration if combining with chassis from other generations.
• Carbon is an excellent material for competition, but requires careful installation: do not overtighten the mounting screws to avoid compromising the integrity of the part.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an Anglewinder and a Sidewinder configuration?

In the Sidewinder configuration, the motor is positioned parallel to the rear axle (transverse), whereas in the Anglewinder, the motor is placed at an angle to that axle. Each geometry has different implications for weight distribution and the car's behaviour on track.

What exactly is the purpose of the offset in a motor mount?

The offset determines the lateral displacement of the motor relative to the car's centreline. This directly affects the alignment and separation between the pinion and the crown gear: an incorrect offset can cause excessive noise, accelerated gear wear, or loss of efficiency in transmission.

Is this mount compatible with EVO6 chassis from other Slot.it versions?

The SICH123 is specifically designed for the Slot.it EVO6 family. If you have questions about compatibility with a specific chassis version, we recommend consulting the exploded view available on the official Slot.it website or contacting us before placing your order.

Does the mount include screws or any fastening elements?

Slot.it does not specify in the product information that it includes additional screws. If you need complementary mounting hardware, check the available accessories from the same brand to ensure compatibility.

Is carbon worth it compared to standard technical plastic?

For recreational use, both options are valid. For club competition or on demanding tracks, carbon offers greater stiffness, lower weight, and better dimensional stability under heat and vibration, factors that make a real difference in finely tuned configurations.

The Slot.it SICH123 is a carbon motor mount for Anglewinder configuration with a 1.25 mm offset, designed for the EVO6 modular chassis platform. Lightweight and precise, it is the go-to choice for club racers and slot car builders looking to fine-tune their drivetrain geometry. Compatible with Slot.it EVO6 chassis systems, this carbon part delivers the rigidity and dimensional stability demanded by competitive slot car racing.
