I don't actually know, my guess is 1.5mm but I'll fire up the CAD and measure...

'Offset' with motor fully down, axle fully up is 1.25mm, It's more than sufficient for the car it's fitted in and the adjustable height worked perfectly to raise the axle to lose excess ground clearance.

I've quickly tweaked the offset slot and it's now 1.5mm

Tonight I'm working on a FF050 (Slimline) pod with a twist...a 90° twist...to allow room for ballast either side of the motor.

a slim can adaptor for a slot.it type inline pod would be useful 
that way you would have your 3 inline pod types , one for each motor  
and adaptors for each motor type to suit the original slot.it  inline pod 
best of both worlds 
are you up for the challenge Kevan ?  Bigsmile

Scaleauto do a motor mount for slimline that has the same mountings as Slot.it pods ...

If you want a challenge Kevan, 2x slimline motors side by side in a small angle v (just enough to clear the pod siderails) configuration in a pod that fits standard slot.it mountings with a 0.5mm offset (in relation to standard inline pods)  Rofl mind you, I dont know your location so if its the U.S the postage would kill me  Tappingfoot

Likewise, less challenging is AW long can/AW short can/SW and Inlines with a 2mm offset. This would allow using more scale accurate (ie larger) wheels/tyres and not have 4x4 ground clearances  Wrench
