This aluminium motor cover plate is an aftermarket replacement for the Tamiya TA05-IFS and TA05-R chassis, designed to secure the motor position on the chassis deck and offer a compact mounting surface that remains easy to service.
Aluminium gives a rigid mounting interface that resists distortion and preserves alignment between motor and spur gear. By holding the motor steady the plate helps maintain consistent gear mesh and predictable drivetrain behaviour during tuning and running.
Fitting is simple for those familiar with TA05 internals: remove the original cover, confirm motor alignment and pinion engagement, then fasten the plate into the existing mounting points. Check wiring routing and ESC clearance, and ensure the motor area keeps adequate airflow.
Use this plate when you want a tough, low-profile motor mounting option that emphasises repeatable alignment and straightforward access for maintenance at the bench or track.
