Audi R18 Angulo body shell

The Slot.it Audi R18 Body Shell Designed for Anglewinder Configuration

The reference SICS24B1 from Slot.it is a body shell of the legendary Audi R18 specifically conceived for mounting the motor in an anglewinder configuration, meaning the motor is positioned at an angle relative to the rear axle. This geometry allows for a combination of compactness and mass distribution, highly valued in club setups and custom builds where a specific track behaviour is sought.

Main Features

• Official Slot.it body shell of the Audi R18, featuring the silhouette of the Le Mans prototype.
• Designed and optimised for mounting with the motor in anglewinder position.
• Manufactured with the usual dimensional precision standards of Slot.it, a benchmark brand in the Sport track system.
• Ideal for pairing with chassis and powertrain components from the Slot.it range.
• Reference: SICS24B1.

Anglewinder: What This Configuration Offers

In the world of slot racing, the choice of motorisation is not a minor detail. The anglewinder system positions the motor at an angle relative to the rear axle, allowing for a weight distribution and compactness that clearly differentiates it from the sidewinder (transverse motor, parallel to the axle) and inline (longitudinal motor, in line with the car). This body shell is specifically designed to take advantage of that configuration, with the interior space adapted to accommodate the motor-crown gear-pinion assembly in the correct position.

Aspects to Consider

This reference is the raw body shell, without decoration or motor assembly included. It requires assembly, and the final result will depend on the chassis, motor, guide, braids, and tyres you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between anglewinder, sidewinder, and inline?

These are three distinct motor positions relative to the rear axle. The sidewinder places the motor parallel to the axle (transverse). The inline positions it perpendicular to the axle (longitudinal), lowering the centre of gravity. The anglewinder places it at an angle, combining characteristics of both and allowing for very specific transmission configurations.

Does this body shell include the chassis or motor?

No. The reference SICS24B1 is solely the body shell. The chassis, motor, guide, braids, and other components must be purchased separately according to the configuration you wish to assemble.

Which Slot.it chassis is it compatible with?

As a body shell from the Slot.it range designed for anglewinder, it is compatible with the brand's chassis prepared for this configuration. If you have specific questions about compatibility, do not hesitate to consult us before placing your order.

Is it suitable for competition on Sport track?

Slot.it is one of the benchmark brands in the Sport track system, so its body shells and components are designed for this system. Always check the specific regulations of your championship before preparing the car.

Do I need to paint it or does it come finished?

The body shell is delivered unpainted. You can paint and decorate it to your liking with paints such as Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido, applied with an airbrush or brush according to your usual technique.

The Slot.it SICS24B1 is the Audi R18 body shell specifically designed for anglewinder motor configuration, making it a top choice for slot car builders and club racers looking to assemble a custom Le Mans prototype on Sport track systems. Compatible with Slot.it chassis and drivetrain components, this body shell delivers the precision and fitment quality that the brand is known for. Available at Ministry of Hobby, your reference store for slot car racing, scale models, and high-end collectibles.
