Offset motor mount 1.0mm Angewinder EVO6

Adjust the transmission geometry with the 1.0 mm offset Anglewinder motor mount for the Slot.it EVO6 chassis

In the preparation of a competitive slot car, details make the difference. This 1.0 mm offset motor mount is designed for those working with the Slot.it EVO6 chassis in anglewinder configuration and need to precisely adjust the distance between the pinion and the crown gear. One millimetre may seem small, but in terms of mesh between pinion and crown gear, it is exactly what separates a smooth and efficient transmission from one with unnecessary play or friction.

Function and performance

The offset of the mount determines how much the motor shaft is laterally displaced from its central position in the chassis. With a 1.0 mm offset, this mount allows compensation for pinion and crown gear combinations that would otherwise result in incorrect meshing. The result is a cleaner transmission, with less friction and reduced wear on the teeth, which directly translates into a more linear motor response and greater durability of the drivetrain components.

The anglewinder configuration —motor angled relative to the rear axle— is common in many Slot.it competition chassis due to its good balance between mass distribution and ease of preparation. In this context, choosing the mount with the correct offset is a fundamental step in any serious tuning process.

Compatibility

This mount (reference SICH82c) is specific to the Slot.it EVO6 chassis. Before purchasing, verify that your pinion and crown gear combination requires exactly 1.0 mm of offset; Slot.it offers various offset values in its range of mounts so you can fine-tune according to the crowns and pinions you use.

Installation and preparation

Installation is straightforward for any preparer with basic experience in Slot.it chassis. Once the mount is installed, it is advisable to check the mesh with a thin sheet of paper or simply by rolling the assembly by hand before putting the car on track. Correct meshing should turn smoothly and without excessive play. If you notice that the teeth are too tight or there is too much play, check if the necessary offset is greater or lesser.

Common mistakes

• Using the incorrect offset: each pinion and crown gear combination may require a different offset value. Consult Slot.it's recommendations for your specific setup.
• Not checking the mesh after installation: even if the mount is correct, it is always advisable to confirm the meshing before running.
• Mixing mounts from other versions of the EVO chassis: mounts are not always interchangeable between EVO versions. Check compatibility with your specific chassis.

Frequently asked questions

What is the offset in a slot motor mount?

The offset is the lateral displacement of the motor shaft relative to the central position of the mount. It allows adjustment of the meshing distance between the motor pinion and the rear axle crown gear to achieve optimal transmission.

Which chassis is this mount compatible with?

This SICH82c mount is specifically designed for the Slot.it EVO6 chassis in anglewinder configuration. It is not intended for other chassis from the brand without verifying compatibility.

How do I know if I need 1.0 mm of offset or a different value?

The necessary offset depends on the combination of pinion and crown gear you are using. Slot.it provides reference guides for its transmissions. If in doubt, consult Slot.it's technical documentation or contact us.

Is it difficult to install this mount?

No. The process is the same as for any motor mount on a Slot.it chassis. With basic slot car preparation experience, installation is quick. The most important thing is to verify the mesh once installed.

Does this mount include the motor?

No, this product is solely the motor mount. The motor is purchased separately.

The Slot.it SICH82c motor mount with 1.0 mm offset is a precision replacement part designed for the EVO6 anglewinder chassis. It allows fine-tuning of the pinion-to-crown mesh for smoother power transmission and reduced drivetrain wear. Essential for competitive slot car preparation, compatible with Slot.it EVO6 chassis in anglewinder configuration. A must-have upgrade for club racers and serious hobbyists looking to optimize their Slot.it setup.
