3D motor mount compatible with NSR OFFSET 0.75 mm

Sloting Plus 3D Anglewinder Pod: Fine Adjustment of the Rear Axle for Competition

The SP610102 is Slotting Plus's offering for those looking to take their NSR chassis preparation a step further. Manufactured using 3D printing, this anglewinder pod incorporates a 0.75 mm offset that raises the position of the rear axle relative to the motor, bringing the motor-body assembly closer to the track and reducing the centre of gravity in a measured and controlled manner.

Function and Performance

The positive offset of 0.75 mm has a direct effect on the car's dynamics: by lowering the centre of gravity, the slot car gains stability in corners and reduces the tendency to roll during acceleration. It is a common adjustment in club preparations where the regulations allow for pod modifications and aim for the maximum lap time without sacrificing drivability.

The 3D manufacturing compared to traditional injected pods offers a controlled structural flexibility that acts as damping against track irregularities, smoothing the response of the rear end and reducing vibrations transmitted to the axle.

Compatibility

• Designed for chassis with NSR type pods.
• Accommodates standard brass bearings.
• Fully compatible with Sloting Plus's COMBI PLUS (SP053102) bearings, which ensure precise alignment of the rear axle and minimise mechanical losses.

Assembly and Preparation

The assembly follows the usual procedure for NSR pods, with no modifications to the chassis. It is recommended to check the alignment of the rear axle after the change, especially if combined with fine pitch pinions, and to confirm that the crown gear operates with the correct clearance relative to the motor pinion. The use of COMBI PLUS bearings simplifies this adjustment by providing a more stable hold on the axle.

Common Mistakes

• Confusing offset with guide height: the offset acts on the rear axle, not on the depth of the guide in the slot. These are independent adjustments.
• Not checking the crown-pinion mesh: when changing the pod and modifying the geometry, the play between the crown and pinion may vary slightly. Always check this before running.
• Over-tightening the fixing screws: the 3D structure tolerates competition loads well, but excessive tightening can deform the bearing housings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 0.75 mm offset and a 0 mm offset?

With a 0 mm offset, the rear axle and motor are at the same height. With 0.75 mm, the axle is 0.75 mm higher than the motor, which lowers the motor-body assembly and reduces the car's centre of gravity. The effect is greater stability in corners and improved handling over changes in elevation.

Is it compatible with any chassis that uses an NSR pod?

Yes, as long as the chassis adheres to the standard fixing geometry of NSR pods. Before mounting, it is advisable to confirm that the available space in the chassis accommodates the 3D profile of the part.

Can I use brass bearings from other brands?

The pod accepts standard size brass bearings. However, Sloting Plus recommends their COMBI PLUS (SP053102) bearings for maximum precision in rear axle alignment.

What level of competition is this pod designed for?

It is a piece aimed at technical club and competition preparation. It is particularly useful in categories where the replacement of the original pod is allowed and the goal is to optimise the geometry of the rear end.

Does 3D manufacturing affect durability in racing?

Sloting Plus's 3D pods are made from technical materials that offer adequate resistance for competitive use. The controlled flexibility of the material is precisely one of its advantages over injected parts.
