HRS2 Anglewinder Chassis Starter Kit

The ideal starting point for building your own anglewinder slot car

The Slot.it HRS2 Anglewinder Starter Kit (SICH35) is the Italian brand's proposal for those who want to take their first steps into the world of slot from the assembly bench. With an anglewinder configuration —motor positioned at an angle to the rear axle— this chassis offers a very interesting balance between compactness, mass distribution, and ease of adjustment.

Main features

• Anglewinder configuration: the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle, allowing for optimised weight distribution and a lower overall height compared to other geometries.
• 1/32 scale: sized to fit the vast majority of bodies available in this scale, which is the most widespread in the slot hobby.
• Starter Kit format: includes the necessary elements for initial assembly, designed to facilitate entry into the world of self-built chassis.
• Slot.it brand: a reference manufacturer in the high-end segment, known for the precision of its components and the availability of spare parts.

Behaviour and performance

The anglewinder architecture provides clear advantages over the classic sidewinder in certain types of bodies: by tilting the motor, a lower line and better use of interior space are achieved. This translates into a more contained centre of gravity and greater flexibility when choosing the body to work with.

As a starter kit, the HRS2 is designed to offer a reasonable learning curve: the components fit with the usual construction logic of Slot.it, so those who already have experience with other references from the brand will find the process familiar.

Compatibility and assembly

The HRS2 chassis is designed to fit most 1/32 bodies, making it a versatile base for both competition projects and custom builds. As is customary in the Slot.it ecosystem, the availability of spare parts and complementary components is a plus for those planning to develop the car over time.

For assembly, it is recommended to have the usual preparation tools in the hobby: crown gear wrench, tyre press, and caliper, among others.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts looking to start building their own chassis in 1/32 scale.
• Club competitors seeking an anglewinder base to work on their setup.
• Collectors and builders wanting to explore Slot.it's anglewinder configuration.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an anglewinder chassis and a sidewinder?

In a sidewinder, the motor is placed parallel to the rear axle (transverse), while in an anglewinder, the motor is positioned at an angle to that axle. This allows, in the case of the anglewinder, for a lower position and a different mass distribution, which can influence the car's behaviour on track.

Which bodies is the HRS2 compatible with?

According to Slot.it information, the HRS2 is designed to fit most 1/32 bodies. However, before acquiring a specific body, it is advisable to verify compatibility with the specific dimensions of the chassis.

Does the kit include motor, guide, and braids?

The exact contents of the kit are detailed on the official Slot.it packaging. As a starter kit, it includes the basic components for initial assembly, but we recommend checking the official technical sheet to confirm which elements are included and which need to be purchased separately.

Is it suitable for club competition?

The HRS2 is a valid platform as a starting point for competition, although its final performance will depend on the level of preparation, the chosen components, and the specific regulations of the championship in which it competes.

Can I use this chassis on Scalextric or Ninco track?

Yes. Being a 1/32 chassis with a standard guide, it can run on universal track (Scalextric, Ninco) as long as it is fitted with the appropriate guide. For Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it), it is also compatible with the corresponding guide.

The Slot.it HRS2 Anglewinder Starter Kit (SICH35) is a 1/32 scale anglewinder chassis kit, ideal for slot car enthusiasts looking to build and tune their own car from scratch. Compatible with most 1/32 bodies, it delivers a balanced weight distribution thanks to its angled motor layout. A reliable entry point into the world of slot car chassis building, backed by Slot.it's precision engineering and extensive spare parts availability.
