Cheapest prices for Kyosho parts I have seen! An improvement you could consider is to provide a lead time for orders if you are required to order stock in prior to shipment.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Do I need to alter my motor position when fitting this plate?

In most cases the plate uses existing mounting points so motor position stays the same. Verify clearances around the motor and pinion before final assembly.

Is this plate compatible with brushless motors?

Yes, the UM517GM supports both brushed and brushless setups provided the motor fits the mounting pattern and cooling considerations are addressed.

Will switching to gunmetal require different screws?

Standard motor mounting screws are usually fine, but check for correct length and thread engagement. Replace damaged fasteners when reassembling.

How should I service the plate area?

Inspect the mount and surrounding hardware regularly for wear and ensure fasteners remain tight. Clean any debris that could affect gear mesh or motor clearance.

Can this plate be used with aftermarket motor mounts?

Compatibility with aftermarket mounts depends on the mounting layout. Compare hole patterns and dimensions before combining parts from different manufacturers.
