This is interesting - Slot.it are bringing out a carbon fibre motor mount, with a suspension setup on the side mounts and using the bearing mount system rather than the spherical gimbals. That means more cost (but you can use 3/16 oilites to save money), and a narrower overall width of the mounted axle.
The carbon fibre should have an advantage over plastic of greater rigidity

- angle-winder is pictured, let’s hope they do multiple offsets and sidewinder versions.
I imagine the two sets of holes for motor mounting are simply as for Flat-6 vs. FK180 boxer motor.

Maurizio F. is doing  introductory videos. English is due out tomorrow so I will add a link. …. I was trying to follow his Spanish one today, but too many words I didn’t know.

Might try one at some stage, I have been interested in this type of thing but need a car to use it on too. Maybe get an Olifer chassis for a Falcon XB and give it a try.

Video with Maurizio Ferrari introducing the new motor pod. They are as suspected, an injection moulded part, as a plastic and carbon fibre composite.

Key elements
- More rigid
- lighter -  3gms vs. 4gms of the traditional plastic pods
- Shaped at rear for a tungsten cylindrical weight behind the motor
- Ball race mount - narrower at axle mount, than using the gimbal bush
- Comes with snip off parts and double holes at the midpoint to set up an adjustable suspension system
- 1.25mm offset (That raises the axle 1.25mm above the motor shaft)

As Slot.it prepare to display at the US Nationals, they have revealed one of the projects that will be on show. The long delayed Acura project is getting close with the moulds now complete. They have also confirmed that future models will come equipped with standard guides, thus phasing out the unpopular LMP guide which was created to enable a lower, more scale accurate model mould for these low profile models

Checking the pre-production samples. Once approved and any detail changes noted, they give the factory the nod to run the production. About 3 months later the shipping container of stock arrives in Italy ready for shipment to distributors

I reported on the upcoming model Datsun 510 by Slot.it/Policar in front page news. My guess had been that it would have Policar branding, and come in their sets.

WRONG - It has been allocated Slot.it code CA59, and the first release CA59a will be one of the BRE (Brock Racing Enterprise) < 2.5L Transam liveries - we just don’t know which one yet.
So it will have alloy rear wheels.

Nothing yet - but my guess based on current status, would be Q1 next year.

I’ve ordered one each of the first two liveries and a couple of white kits so I can make up a house class - probably de-powered to 18k to suit that small shape on my track.

This one is kinda weird, I had to do a double take, as the car is white on one side, black on the other

That Audi looks great.  Any idea if pod configuration?

To be consistent with their other GT3 cars, I would expect it to be a 0.5mm offset sidewinder, with an MX16 23k motor

The original Ca18? Matra in stock, blueprinted condition was my go-to sports class runner for many years - will be interesting to see what improvements ensue.
