F1 DFV Motor 24500rpm open/closed box

Legendary power and sound: the Policar DFV motor is in your hands

The F1 DFV 24500 rpm motor from Policar, reference PO-PMX01, is the official spare unit designed for the Italian brand's Formula 1 slot cars. A motor that not only has performance on the track but also bears the name of one of the most iconic engines in the history of competition.

Main features

• Revolutions per minute: 24,500 rpm, optimised for the dynamic behaviour of Policar single-seaters.
• Open or closed can: the product incorporates both options, allowing the tuner to choose the configuration that best fits the chassis and intended use.
• Official Policar spare: guarantees direct compatibility with the brand's F1 car range.
• Reference: PO-PMX01.

Recommended applications

This motor is intended as an original spare to replace the worn or damaged unit in Policar F1 slot cars. It is also interesting for those who wish to have a ready spare unit before a race session or club day, avoiding downtime on the track.

As it is a motor with the same specifications as the standard one, it is the safest option to maintain the original behaviour of the car as conceived by the manufacturer, without unbalancing the setup.

Behaviour and performance

The 24,500 rpm places this motor in a balanced performance range for universal track systems (Scalextric, Ninco) and other common surfaces in clubs and home circuits. It offers agile response in acceleration and a power profile suitable for the scale and characteristic weight of 1/32 scale Formula 1 single-seaters.

The availability of both open and closed can in the same product provides flexibility in assembly, something that both the enthusiast making their first motor change and the more experienced tuner looking to adjust the installation to the millimetre will appreciate.

Usage recommendations

During assembly, it is advisable to check the alignment of the pinion with the crown gear and ensure that the braid makes good contact with the track before putting the car on the track. A progressive run-in at low voltage during the first few minutes helps to prolong the motor's lifespan and properly seat the components.

Frequently asked questions

Which cars is this motor compatible with?

The PO-PMX01 is the official replacement motor for Policar F1 slot cars. If you have doubts about whether your specific model incorporates it as standard, check the technical data sheet of the car or contact us at Ministry of Hobby.

What is the difference between the open and closed can?

The open can facilitates access to internal components and allows for greater heat dissipation, while the closed can offers better protection against dust and track debris. The choice depends on the type of use and the tuner’s preferences.

Can I use this motor to improve the car's performance?

As it is the standard motor, it does not represent an improvement over the original, but it does guarantee that the car recovers exactly the factory behaviour. For performance modifications, there are other motor references available in the slot market.

Is changing the motor complicated?

With basic slot preparation tools and some practice, the change is accessible. We recommend having a pinion puller and specific lubricant on hand to ensure a clean and durable assembly.

What type of track does it work best on?

Being a balanced range motor, it adapts well to both universal track (Scalextric, Ninco) and other common configurations. It is not specifically optimised for a particular system, making it versatile for most club or home circuits.

The Policar PO-PMX01 F1 DFV replacement motor at 24,500 rpm is the ideal spare part for Policar Formula 1 slot cars, available in open or closed can configuration. Designed for 1/32 scale slot racing, it delivers consistent performance on standard track systems. A must-have for collectors and club racers looking to keep their Policar F1 slot car running at its best.
