Top points about the aluminum motor mount

Greater stiffness: Replacing the resin part lowers chassis deformation and refines handling balance.
Professional look: The metal surface adds a tidy, purposeful touch to the rear of the model.

Does this require chassis modification to fit?

No chassis cutting is normally required. The mount is a drop-in replacement when your F104 uses the standard mount locations.

Will an aluminium mount damage the chassis over time?

If installed correctly, the aluminium mount is durable. Take care with screw torque where aluminium meets plastic to avoid stress points.

Is this suitable for competition use?

Many racers fit aluminium motor mounts to tighten setup consistency. It helps reduce chassis variables, which is useful in competitive settings.

Any tips when fitting the mount?

Use threadlocker on metal-to-metal threads if needed and recheck gear mesh and motor alignment after the first run to confirm everything sits correctly.
