Motor Raid

The Avant Slot Raid Motor: long can, dual shaft and 25,000 RPM to push your setup further

Avant Slot is one of the most solid references in industrial resin slot production and in the manufacturing of high-performance components. Its motor line reflects that same philosophy: parts designed for the enthusiast who goes beyond recreational use and wants to control every parameter of their car.

Main features

• RPM: 25,000 — a figure that offers an interesting balance between top speed and handling, suitable for medium to high-length circuits.
• M-Force: 11g — moderate magnetic force, which favours stable behaviour without sacrificing acceleration response.
• Can: Long — the type of casing that allows more options when fitting the motor into different chassis and pods.
• Dual shaft output — the great practical advantage of this motor: it enables different transmission configurations depending on the pinion arrangement and the needs of each setup.

Recommended applications

The long can with dual output makes it especially versatile for tuning projects where the position of the pinion or the configuration of the pod require precise adjustments. It is an option to consider both for mounting in cars from the Avant Slot range and for custom builds where the interior space of the chassis allows it.

With 25,000 RPM, the motor is positioned in a general-use range, suitable for club categories where specific low-rev motors are not required, and also for those seeking a more lively response on track than what standard motors offer.

Behaviour and performance

The 11g of M-Force means that the motor does not overly rely on magnetic attraction to keep the car on track, which places more responsibility on the driver and the chassis setup. For those who enjoy fine-tuning their setup, this is an advantage: the behaviour is more transparent and predictable.

The dual shaft output opens up the possibility of choosing more freely the gear ratio and the position of the pinion, factors that directly affect the torque available on starts and slow corners.

Usage recommendations

• Check that the dimensions of the long can are compatible with the chassis or pod where you are going to install it before proceeding with the installation.
• Adjust the crown-pinion ratio according to the layout: longer gearing for fast and open circuits, shorter for layouts with many curves.
• Periodically check the braids and the condition of the collector to maintain stable performance throughout the sessions.
• If you are working with adjustable positioning pods, the long can will give you more leeway to correctly centre the motor.

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean that the motor has a dual shaft output?

It means that the motor shaft protrudes from both sides of the casing. This allows the pinion to be mounted on either the right or left side of the motor, providing much more flexibility when designing or adapting the transmission in different chassis.

How does a long can differ from a short can?

The long can has a greater casing length, which usually implies a larger magnet mass and can influence the torque and response of the motor. It also affects the space needed inside the chassis, so compatibility must be checked before installation.

What type of track or category is a 25,000 RPM motor intended for?

It is a fairly general-use figure, suitable for club tracks with varied sections. It is not an extreme competition motor, but it significantly surpasses the response of the standard motors fitted in most production cars.

Can I use this motor in any slot car?

It depends on the chassis. The long can limits compatibility with some more compact chassis. It is essential to measure the available space in the pod or chassis before purchasing it for installation.

What pinion should I use with this motor?

The appropriate pinion depends on the diameter of the motor shaft and the gear ratio you want to achieve. Check the specifications of your crown and chassis to choose the correct combination.

The Avant Slot Raid Motor (AV20115) is a long-can, dual-shaft slot car motor delivering 25,000 RPM and 11g of M-Force. Designed for club racing and custom builds, its double shaft output provides flexible pinion placement and drivetrain configuration options. Compatible with a wide range of slot car chassis and motor pods that accept long-can motors. An ideal upgrade for hobbyists looking to fine-tune their slot car performance beyond stock specifications.
