Long box inline chassis

The inline pod that Slot.it chassis need to perform with long can and flat motors

The SICH48B pod is specifically designed for Slot.it chassis and allows for the mounting of motors in inline configuration, meaning the motor is positioned longitudinally relative to the rear axle. This orientation places the motor-transmission assembly in line with the car, helping to lower the centre of gravity and distribute weight more evenly.

Compatible with long can motors and flat type motors, this pod covers two of the most commonly used configurations in the preparation of competition slot cars with Slot.it chassis.

Function and performance

The pod is the piece that anchors the motor to the chassis and defines the transmission geometry. A well-fitted pod ensures that the pinion and crown gear mesh with the correct clearance, resulting in smooth transmission, less power loss, and increased lifespan of the transmission components.

With the SICH48B, the motor alignment is secured with the precision characteristic of Slot.it components, without unnecessary play or tension that could affect the car's behaviour on track.

Compatibility

• Slot.it chassis prepared for inline configuration.
• Long can motors.
• Flat type motors.

If you have questions about what type of motor your chassis uses or which pod is suitable for your project, consult the technical documentation from Slot.it or contact our team.

Assembly and preparation

The assembly process follows the Slot.it standard: fastening to the chassis with the corresponding screws and adjusting the distance between the pinion and crown gear until optimal meshing is achieved. It is advisable to check that there is no interference between the motor and the rest of the chassis and that the rear axle spins freely before completing the assembly.

For optimal results in competition, combine it with pinions and crown gears from the Slot.it range, which are designed with the appropriate tolerances for this type of pod.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an inline pod and a sidewinder?

In the inline configuration, the motor is oriented longitudinally (in line with the car), perpendicular to the rear axle. In the sidewinder configuration, the motor is placed transversely, parallel to the rear axle. Each geometry has different implications for weight distribution and track behaviour.

Is it compatible with all Slot.it chassis?

It is designed for Slot.it chassis that accept inline configuration with long can or flat motors. Not all Slot.it chassis use the same pod, so it is advisable to verify compatibility with your specific model before placing an order.

Can I use this pod with motors from other brands?

As long as the external motor has the same physical format as standard long can or flat motors and respects the mounting dimensions of the Slot.it chassis, the pod should be compatible. In case of doubt, check the motor measurements before installation.

Does it include screws or fastening elements?

The provided information does not specify whether the pod includes additional screws. We recommend checking the package contents on the manufacturer's sheet or contacting us to confirm.

The Slot.it SICH48B inline motor pod is engineered for long can and flat motors on Slot.it chassis, offering precise motor alignment and optimised inline geometry for slot car racing. A key component for serious club racers and 1/32 scale slot car builders looking for reliable performance on track.
