Compact Aluminium Motor Mount for Tamiya 53142

The Tamiya 53142 Aluminium Motor Mount is a compact upgrade that helps control motor heat and maintain firm mounting in the chassis. Made from aluminium, it assists in keeping the motor aligned for smoother, more predictable power delivery.

Aluminium Advantages

Aluminium provides a good mix of lightness and stiffness, making it a smart upgrade over softer materials. A stiffer mounting point reduces unwanted movement and helps maintain consistent drivetrain geometry.

Which Models and How to Fit

This mount suits multiple Tamiya RC car models and typically fits without major modification. During installation, recheck gear mesh and clearances to ensure the motor and pinion run free.

Specifications

  • Material: Aluminum
  • Compatibility: Suitable for a number of Tamiya RC car models
  • Function: Improves heat dissipation and secures motor mounting

For hobbyists seeking a small but effective upgrade, the Tamiya 53142 Aluminium Motor Mount brings better cooling and dependable mounting for a range of RC uses.

How should I check fit before final installation?

Mock up the motor on the mount and rotate the drivetrain by hand to confirm there is no rubbing and that gear mesh is set correctly.

Will the mount work on vintage and modern models?

It fits many current and some older Tamiya chassis types, though you should check mounting hole positions and motor placement for older kits.

Any tips for preventing corrosion?

Keep the mount clean and dry, and consider a light coat of corrosion inhibitor on exposed threads if you run in damp conditions.
