Motor Flat 6 S 22.5k closed box

The Slot.it Flat 6 S SIMN13H motor redefines what can be expected from a low-profile long-can motor in competition.

When Slot.it decided to evolve the Flat-6 concept, it did not limit itself to adjusting windings: it opted for a new type of steel in the motor body to improve magnetic flow, increase available torque, and achieve more solid braking. The result is the SIMN13H, identified by its unmistakable orange label, the "S" (soft) version of the Flat-6 long-can family.

Main features

• RPM: 22,500 at 12 V.
• Torque: 230 g/cm.
• Format: long FLAT can (low profile).
• Reference: SIMN13H.
• Identification: orange label.
• Compatibility: Slot.it Flat-6 motor pods, in anglewinder and inline configurations.

Behaviour and performance

The letter "S" is not a minor detail: it defines the entire personality of the motor. Unlike the higher-wound versions, the SIMN13H builds power in a progressive and predictable manner. This translates into traction that is easier to manage, especially in fast corners or on tracks with continuous rhythm changes where throttle control makes the difference between winning and going off track.

The low-profile design of the long can allows the motor to be installed very close to the chassis floor, reducing the overall centre of gravity. On track, this results in greater stability in corners and a more controlled weight transfer under acceleration and braking. The torque of 230 g/cm, combined with the improved braking capability provided by the new steel, facilitates precise adjustment of the car's response to each type of circuit.

Recommended applications

The SIMN13H fits particularly well in setups where smoothness and consistency from lap to lap are prioritized over maximum top speed. It is a common choice in:

• Slot.it chassis with Flat-6 motor pod in anglewinder configuration, where the low profile is key for mass balance.
• Inline setups that require a long motor with a low centre of gravity to improve response in chicanes and braking.
• Club competitors who prioritize technical driving and consistency over pure straight-line speed.
• Tuners who build a calibrated motor-transmission package with fine pitch pinions and crown gears.

Usage recommendations

As with any competition motor, it is advisable to respect a progressive break-in period before demanding maximum performance. Adjust the braid tension to ensure clean contact without excessive pressure on the commutator. Combine it with Slot.it fine pitch pinions and crown gears to make the most of the available torque. If you are going to use it on tracks with variable power supply, keep in mind that the RPM and torque are referenced at 12 V.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the "S" version and other versions of the Flat-6?

The "S" indicates a softer winding, with a lower number of revolutions but higher relative torque and a more progressive power delivery. It is the preferred option when control and consistency are sought. Higher RPM versions offer more top speed but are more demanding in throttle management.

Is it compatible with motor pods from other brands besides Slot.it?

The SIMN13H is designed for Slot.it Flat-6 motor pods. Compatibility with motor pods from other brands depends on the specific dimensions of each manufacturer; we recommend verifying this before installation.

What motor configurations does it support: anglewinder, inline or sidewinder?

The long FLAT can format is designed for anglewinder and inline setups. It is not the usual format for sidewinder configurations, where short can motors are typically used.

How long does the break-in take?

There is no universal fixed time, but a common practice is to perform several short cycles at reduced voltage (6-8 V) before putting it under full load. This seats the brushes of the commutator and prolongs the motor's lifespan.

What pinion-crown gear ratio is recommended for the SIMN13H?

It depends on the circuit and chassis, but given its generous torque, it can accommodate slightly longer gear ratios than other motors with similar RPM. The most practical approach is to start with a standard ratio recommended by Slot.it for the category and adjust according to lap times.

The Slot.it SIMN13H Flat 6 S motor delivers 22,500 RPM and 230 g/cm torque in a low-profile long-can format. Engineered with a new high-quality steel body for improved torque and braking response, it suits anglewinder and inline configurations on Slot.it Flat-6 motor pods. A top choice for club racers seeking smooth, consistent power delivery and precise throttle control on technical layouts. Available at Ministry of Hobby.
