In the model car hobby, an inline car is a type of slot car or other motorized model car in which the motor shaft runs lengthwise down the chassis, perpendicular to the driven axle. Power is transmitted through a pinion to a crown gear on the axle, or through bevel gears.
The word also refers to the longitudinally-mounted motor or the motor arrangement of such a car.
Of the main motor arrangements for slot cars, the inline is the most common type.
