Rear Pulley for Sloting Plus Crown Sidewinder 17.5 mm — 3D Printed Precision
This rear pulley with reference SRP018115 is specifically designed to work with Sloting Plus crowns in Sidewinder setups, meaning the motor is positioned parallel to the rear axle. The base is manufactured using 3D printing, allowing for a precise and repeatable geometry, which is essential when seeking perfect alignment between the crown and the motor pinion.
Function and Features
- Designed for Sloting Plus crowns in Sidewinder configuration.
- Reference diameter: 17.5 mm.
- Base manufactured using 3D printing for precise and lightweight geometry.
- Contents: 1 unit.
- Crown not included.
Compatibility and Installation
This pulley is designed to integrate with crowns from the Sloting Plus range. Before purchasing, ensure that your chassis configuration is Sidewinder (motor transverse to the rear axle) and that the 17.5 mm diameter is compatible with your transmission set. As this is a 3D printed part, dimensional finishing is precise, but it is advisable to check the clearance with the axle and crown before permanently securing the base.
Common Errors When Installing a Rear Pulley
- Confusing motor configuration: remember that Sidewinder is a motor parallel to the rear axle, not perpendicular. A pulley designed for Sidewinder will not provide the correct alignment in an Inline or Anglewinder setup.
- Not checking axle diameter: ensure that the rear axle of your chassis fits correctly into the pulley before final installation.
- Excessive tightening: 3D printed parts are precise, but it is advisable not to force the fit. A smooth installation prolongs the life of the part.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the crown come included with this pulley?
No. This reference includes only the rear pulley (base). The Sloting Plus crown must be purchased separately.
What motor configuration is it designed for?
For Sidewinder, meaning the motor is placed parallel to the rear axle. It is not intended for Inline or Anglewinder setups.
How many units does the pack contain?
The pack contains 1 unit.
Which Sloting Plus crowns is it compatible with?
It is designed for the range of Sloting Plus crowns with a reference diameter of 17.5 mm. Check the specifications of your crown to confirm exact compatibility.
Does 3D printing affect the durability of the part?
3D printing offers a very tight geometry and reduced weight. For prolonged use on track, keep the rear end clean and periodically check the condition of the base, as with any other precision spare part.
The Sloting Plus SRP018115 rear pulley is a 3D-printed part designed for Sidewinder motor configurations using Sloting Plus crowns at 17.5 mm. Ideal for slot car builders and club racers looking for precise rear axle assembly components. Sold as a single unit; crown not included.
