EVO 2 Super Soft Inline Motor Mount

Precision and control with the NSR EVO 2 Supersoft inline motor mount

When it comes to fine-tuning a slot chassis to the limit, the small details make the difference between winning and losing tenths. The NSR EVO 2 Supersoft Inline Motor Mount (NSR1240) is one of those components that, at first glance, seems minor, but any experienced driver knows it directly influences the car's behaviour on the track.

Main features

• Reference: NSR1240
• Motor type: Inline (motor arranged longitudinally, in line with the rear axle, lowering the car's centre of gravity)
• Version: EVO 2
• Hardness: Supersoft — the softest option in the range, designed to maximise vibration absorption and track contact
• Declared compatibility: NSR Mosler Evo 3 chassis
• Identifying colour: Yellow

Function and performance

The motor mount —also known as the motor bracket— is the part that secures the motor to the chassis and determines the rigidity or flexibility of that connection. In an inline configuration, the motor is oriented longitudinally relative to the rear axle, allowing for a lower centre of gravity and a more direct power transmission.

The Supersoft variant is the least rigid within the NSR EVO 2 range. This means that the mount slightly yields to track irregularities and motor vibrations, acting almost as a damping element. The practical result is greater consistency in the rear tyre contact with the track, especially on circuits with less homogeneous surfaces or on plastic track.

Compatibility

This mount is specifically designed for the NSR Mosler Evo 3 chassis. Before installing it, confirm that your chassis corresponds to this version, as different generations of NSR chassis may have geometric differences that affect the fit of the mount.

Assembly and preparation

Assembly is straightforward for any enthusiast with basic slot car preparation experience. However, there are a couple of aspects to consider:

1. Ensure that the motor is properly seated and has no lateral play before closing the chassis.
2. The hardness of the mount influences the alignment of the pinion with the crown gear: check the mesh (play between pinion and crown gear) after assembly to ensure smooth transmission.
3. If you are coming from a harder mount, it is normal to notice more movement in the rear end: this is exactly what the Supersoft version aims for.

Who is this mount for?

The Supersoft is primarily aimed at drivers seeking maximum traction and smooth response, especially useful in high-grip configurations or on tracks with a lot of grip. If your driving style is more aggressive or you seek greater rigidity for fast and technical tracks, NSR offers other hardness options within the EVO 2 range that may better suit your needs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Supersoft mount and a standard hardness mount?

The hardness of the mount determines how much the connection between the motor and chassis yields to vibrations and impacts. A Supersoft mount absorbs more energy, enhancing traction on uneven surfaces. A harder mount offers greater rigidity and precision but may transmit more vibration to the chassis.

Is it compatible with other NSR chassis besides the Mosler Evo 3?

NSR indicates compatibility with the Mosler Evo 3 chassis. For other chassis from the brand, consult the NSR compatibility chart or contact us before placing your order, as the geometry varies between models.

What does it mean for the motor to be inline?

In an inline configuration, the motor is arranged longitudinally, in line with the rear axle of the car. This allows for a lower centre of gravity compared to other configurations such as sidewinder (transverse motor) or anglewinder (angled motor), favouring stability in corners.

Does the yellow colour have any technical function or is it just for identification?

The yellow colour is a visual identification system that NSR uses to quickly distinguish the hardness of the mount. It has no additional technical function.

Can I use this mount with any NSR inline motor?

The EVO 2 mount is designed for motors compatible with the Mosler Evo 3 chassis. Verify that the motor you are using fits correctly in the bracket before assembling the set.

The NSR1240 EVO 2 Supersoft inline motor mount is a key tuning component for the NSR Mosler Evo 3 chassis. Designed for inline motor configurations, its ultra-soft compound absorbs vibrations and maximises rear tyre contact, delivering improved traction and consistency on slot car tracks. An essential upgrade for competitive club racing and fine-tuned builds.
