Central Chassis 1/32 H.R.S. 2 Anglewinder

The Slot.it H.R.S. 2 Anglewinder Central Chassis: Geometry and Control for 1/32 Scale

The 1/32 H.R.S. 2 Anglewinder Central Chassis (ref. SICH38) is one of the most representative pieces of the modular chassis system that Slot.it has developed for 1/32 scale. The anglewinder configuration positions the motor at an angle to the rear axle, allowing for better mass distribution within the chassis and achieving a more balanced performance on track compared to other layouts.

Main Features

• Anglewinder configuration: the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle, combining advantages of compactness and weight distribution.
• 1/32 scale: dimensions specifically designed for this scale, the most widespread in competitive and recreational slot racing.
• H.R.S. 2 system: second generation of Slot.it's modular chassis system, with improvements in rigidity and compatibility with the brand's component ecosystem.
• Modular construction: allows for combination with motors, crown gears, pinions, and other spare parts from the Slot.it catalogue, facilitating adjustment and tuning.

Behaviour and Performance

The anglewinder geometry is particularly appreciated on technical circuits where weight distribution and corner stability make a difference. By tilting the motor, a lower centre of gravity is achieved compared to the pure sidewinder layout, without reaching the ultra-flat profile of the inline. The result is a versatile chassis that adapts well to both fast tracks and mixed circuits.

The construction of the H.R.S. 2 maintains Slot.it's philosophy of dimensional precision: tight tolerances to minimize play and a rigidity that faithfully transmits the controller's instructions, without unwanted flex that penalizes response.

Compatibility and Assembly

This chassis is designed to integrate with the extensive ecosystem of Slot.it components: motors from the IL family and similar in anglewinder configuration, crown gears and pinions with 27.5 and 48 pitch, wheels and tyres from the 1/32 range, as well as standard guides and braids from the brand. Its modular nature facilitates both assembly from scratch and the upgrading of an existing setup.

Compatibility with Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it) is guaranteed by the geometry of the guide, although with the appropriate guide it can also be used on universal track (Scalextric, Ninco).

Ideal for…

• Preparers and club drivers looking for a reliable base to build their own 1/32 competition car.
• Enthusiasts wanting to explore the assembly and tuning of a chassis from scratch.
• Users of the Slot.it ecosystem who wish to have a spare chassis or experiment with the anglewinder configuration.

Considerations

As this is a central chassis without body or motor included, it is necessary to have the rest of the components to complete the setup. It is advisable to verify the compatibility of the chosen components (motor, crown gear, pinion) with the H.R.S. 2 version in anglewinder configuration before assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between anglewinder, sidewinder, and inline?

In the sidewinder configuration, the motor is parallel to the rear axle (transverse). In the inline, the motor is positioned in line with the axle, perpendicular to it, which lowers the centre of gravity to the maximum. The anglewinder places the motor at an intermediate angle to the rear axle, combining compactness and a favourable weight distribution without reaching the flat profile of the inline.

Does this chassis include motor, crown gear, and pinion?

No. The SICH38 is only the central chassis. Motor, crown gear, pinion, wheels, tyres, guide, and braids must be purchased separately.

What type of track is it compatible with?

It is primarily designed for Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it), although with the appropriate guide it can also be used on universal track (Scalextric, Ninco).

What improvements does the H.R.S. 2 introduce over the first generation?

The H.R.S. 2 introduces improvements in structural rigidity and expands compatibility with components from the Slot.it catalogue. If you have questions about which version you need, we recommend consulting directly with our technical team.

Is it suitable for official competition?

It depends on the specific regulations of each championship or club. Being a component of the Slot.it range, it is usually accepted in most competition formats that allow preparations with standard brand parts. It is advisable to verify this with the organiser before competing.

The Slot.it SICH38 H.R.S. 2 Anglewinder central chassis is a precision-engineered 1/32 scale slot car chassis designed for the anglewinder motor configuration. Part of Slot.it's modular H.R.S. 2 system, it offers excellent weight distribution and compatibility with the full range of Slot.it components, making it a top choice for club racers and slot car enthusiasts looking to build or upgrade their 1/32 competition car.
