Tamiya TT01 Heat Sink Motor Mount Plate Aluminium Upgrade TT018 by GPM  [TT018]

Finned aluminium motor mounting plate

Designed for the Tamiya TT01 chassis, this aftermarket plate replaces the stock motor mount with an aluminium unit that adds a heatsink-style surface. The upgrade is aimed at reducing motor temperatures and maintaining a square motor position relative to the gearbox during spirited driving or setup work.

Practically the plate combines passive cooling and structural stiffness. The finned top increases exposed metal for heat dispersion while the alloy body minimises flex versus plastic mounts, helping to keep the pinion and spur correctly aligned for consistent power transfer on road-style surfaces.

Installation follows usual TT01 practice: remove the original plate, fit the motor to the new mount, and secure with the original chassis mount points and hardware. Standard hex drivers are all that is required; check torque and mesh after the first runs to confirm alignment and cooling effect.
