Angewinder Motor Mount Offset 0.0mm EVO6

Slot.it EVO6 Anglewinder Mount: Carbon Fibre Precision for Angled Motor Installation

The Slot.it SICH61C motor mount belongs to the EVO6 family, the benchmark range of mounts from the Italian brand for competition chassis. Made from carbon fibre, it combines lightness and rigidity to ensure a stable and repeatable motor position in every race.

Main Features

• Anglewinder Configuration: the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle, optimising mass distribution and the car's centre of gravity.
• Offset 0.0 mm: centred motor position, with no lateral displacement, ideal for symmetrical and balanced setups.
• Material: carbon fibre, providing maximum structural rigidity with minimal weight.
• Motor Compatibility: suitable for standard and Flat motors from the Slot.it range.
• EVO6 Family: designed to integrate directly into Slot.it EVO6 chassis.

Function and Performance

The mount is the component that anchors the motor to the chassis and defines its position relative to the rear axle. In an Anglewinder configuration, the motor operates at an angle, allowing the crown gear and pinion to efficiently transmit power to the axle, with a more compact profile than the classic sidewinder. The 0.0 mm offset indicates that there is no lateral displacement of the motor: the alignment is central and symmetrical, simplifying setup and ensuring predictable behaviour on Sport track (Slot.it, Scaleauto).

The carbon fibre eliminates any unwanted flex in the mount, which is critical when working with high-power motors or on fast tracks where vibrations can affect gear engagement.

Compatibility and Installation

This mount is specifically designed for Slot.it EVO6 chassis. Before purchasing, ensure that your chassis corresponds to this generation, as mounts from different EVO families are not necessarily interchangeable. Installation follows the brand's standard system: precise fit without the need for additional modifications when used with motors and components from the same range.

Preparation and Tuning

To get the most out of this mount, pay attention to the correct tightening of the fixing screws and check the gear mesh between the crown gear and pinion once the motor is installed. A mesh that is too tight generates friction and power loss; one that is too loose introduces noise and premature wear. The rigidity of the carbon fibre helps maintain a constant wheelbase, but a chassis with mechanical play can compromise this initial adjustment.

Ideal for…

Club racers or enthusiasts building or restoring a Slot.it EVO6 chassis in Anglewinder configuration who need to maintain the 0.0 mm offset for a neutral setup. It is also the logical choice when starting from scratch in building a competition car and wanting a reference base before experimenting with positive or negative offsets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Anglewinder, Sidewinder, and Inline?

In a Sidewinder setup, the motor is parallel to the rear axle. In an Inline setup, the motor is perpendicular to the axle (in line with the car), lowering the centre of gravity. In an Anglewinder setup, the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle, combining some advantages of the previous two configurations in terms of compactness and mass distribution.

What does "offset 0.0 mm" mean?

The offset indicates the lateral displacement of the motor relative to the chassis's symmetry axis. An offset of 0.0 mm means that the motor is perfectly centred, with no tilt to either side. It is the most neutral starting point for tuning.

Is it compatible with motors from other brands?

The mount is designed for standard and Flat motors from the Slot.it range. Compatibility with motors from other brands depends on them sharing the same housing dimensions. If you have questions about a specific motor, check the dimensional specifications before purchasing.

Can I use this mount on an EVO5 chassis or earlier?

Not necessarily. Each generation of Slot.it EVO chassis may have differences in anchoring points. This mount is specified for the EVO6 family; its use on earlier versions may require modifications or simply not be compatible.

Does carbon fibre require any special maintenance?

No. Carbon fibre is a very stable material that does not require specific maintenance. Simply check periodically that the fixing screws maintain their tightness and that there are no micro-cracks from impacts on the track.

The Slot.it SICH61C EVO6 Anglewinder motor mount with 0.0mm offset is a carbon fibre support designed for standard and Flat motors, offering precise alignment and minimal weight for competitive slot car racing. Compatible with Slot.it EVO6 chassis on Sport track systems, it is an essential upgrade part for club racers and 1:32 slot car builders looking for a reliable, rigid motor pod solution.
