Power and torque in a compact format: the Slot.it Flat 6 RS 24K arrives in an open long can
The Flat 6 RS 24K Open Motor (SIMN14H) is Slot.it's offering for those who need a high-revving motor with notable torque, ready to be installed in long can chassis. With 24,000 RPM and 240 g·cm at 12v, it sits at the high end of the Italian brand's Flat motors, providing a performance profile highly appreciated in both club sessions and more customised setups.
The open version facilitates access to the braids and the collector, simplifying periodic maintenance and component replacement without the need to remove the entire motor from the chassis.

Recommended applications
The long can Flat format is designed for sidewinder setups, meaning the motor is positioned parallel to the rear axle. This configuration is common in competition chassis that seek a balanced centre of gravity and a direct, efficient drive to the axle.
It is particularly suitable for Sport track systems — the system used by brands like Scaleauto and Slot.it itself — although its installation will always depend on the receiving chassis and the mount used. Ideal for club categories where motors up to 25,000 RPM are allowed, as well as for customised setups seeking a balance between power and drivability.
Behaviour and performance
The range of 24,000 RPM makes it an agile motor, with good throttle response, without reaching the extremes of pure competition motors that exceed 30,000 RPM. The torque of 240 g·cm ensures reliable traction in corners and pit exits, reducing the risk of losing grip in high-demand situations.
The open construction of Slot.it has demonstrated notable reliability in this type of motor over many hours of running, provided basic maintenance is performed: cleaning the collector, checking the braids, and lubricating the shaft.
Usage recommendations
- Check the compatibility of the long can format with your car's chassis or mount before installation.
- Periodically check the condition of the braids; being an open motor, access is straightforward and there is no excuse for neglecting this point.
- For optimal initial running, gradually work the motor in during the first minutes of use.
- Combine it with Slot.it pinions and crown gears to ensure a balanced drive train without unnecessary vibrations.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the open and closed versions of the Flat Motor?
The open version allows direct access to the braids and collector without removing the motor from the chassis, facilitating maintenance and inspection in competition. The closed version offers greater protection against dust and dirt, although internal access is more limited.
Is this motor compatible with all Slot.it long can chassis?
In general, the Flat 6 RS 24K is designed to fit Slot.it long can chassis, but it is always advisable to verify the exact compatibility with the chassis or mount model you intend to use, as there may be variations between chassis generations.
What motor position corresponds to a Flat motor installed parallel to the rear axle?
This configuration is called sidewinder: the motor is positioned parallel to the rear axle, transmitting movement via crown gear and pinion. It is the most common arrangement for Flat motors in competition chassis.
Is it suitable for club racing or just for recreational use?
With 24,000 RPM and 240 g·cm at 12v, the Flat 6 RS 24K fits perfectly into club categories that allow motors in this RPM range. It is also a balanced option for advanced recreational use, where more performance is sought than that of a standard stock motor.
Can I replace the braids on this motor?
Yes. Being an open version motor, access to the braids is direct. Slot.it offers compatible replacement braids that allow the motor to be maintained in optimal condition for a long time.
