RC18T/RC18R Aluminium Motor Mount for Team Associated RC18-013/BU by 3Racing  [RC18-013/BU]

This aluminium motor mount is supplied as 3Racing part RC18-013/BU and is intended as a replacement for Team Associated RC18T and RC18R chassis. It holds the motor securely and helps preserve alignment under varying loads and setup changes.

Fitting is typical for 1/18 scale maintenance: remove the stock motor mount, match the motor spline to the pinion and spur gear mesh, fit the aluminium mount, and verify clearance before final tightening. Apply the appropriate thread-lock to metal screws where recommended and ensure the motor shaft remains parallel to the spur at final torque.

When setting up, the mount contributes to steady gear mesh and less unwanted movement that can affect drive efficiency or create extra noise. After any change to pinion size, shims, or motor placement, re-check spur engagement and throttle/brake response to confirm predictable drivetrain behaviour.

The part is intended for hobby use in 1/18 scale model powertrains.
