Precision Motor Bracket for DB02

The Tamiya 54403 Aluminium Motor Mount (OP-1403) is a direct replacement for the standard die-cast motor bracket on DB02 chassis. Its anodised blue aluminium construction gives a firmer motor coupling for steadier drivetrain performance.

What Aluminium Adds to Your Car

Aluminium offers a mix of stiffness and lightness that is useful for track and club running. This mount increases structural integrity while shaving unneeded mass, helping steering precision and keeping rotational parts in check.

Quick Fit Checklist

When installing, align the motor correctly and tighten fasteners to avoid binding. After the first few runs, recheck gear mesh and mount torque to ensure consistent operation and to limit premature gear wear.

Upgrading the motor mount is a cost-effective way to reduce flex at the motor interface, though complete drivetrain stiffness depends on bulkheads, driveshafts and diff condition as well.
Yes, check and set pinion to spur mesh after fitting the mount; a small shim or motor reposition may be needed to achieve ideal mesh and avoid binding.
The aluminium mount is durable for regular competition use, but periodic inspection for thread wear and bolt security is advised to maintain performance.
