The RC18-013/SI aluminium motor mount is intended for use on Team Associated RC18T chassis as a direct replacement or performance hop-up for the drivetrain mounting point. Its machined alloy construction is chosen to replace softer factory parts and provide a firmer motor attachment without modifying scale or electrical configuration.
Fitment is limited to RC18T platform variants, so confirm your chassis mounting pattern before ordering. Mechanically, the mount secures the motor to the gearbox or plate and maintains proper alignment between pinion and spur gears to ensure correct engagement. This component is designed for RC applications only.
Installation is straightforward for experienced small-scale technicians: remove the stock mount, reuse any appropriate screws and spacers, align the aluminium mount with the chassis locating features, and tighten fixings to a firm but controlled torque to protect threads. After fitting, check gear mesh and make small pinion adjustments as needed for smooth operation.
As a tuning component, the aluminium mount gives a more stable motor anchor that helps retain gear alignment under heavier loads and active driving, making it suitable for club racers and hobbyists seeking a durable mechanical upgrade. It is for RC18T family setups and 1/18 scale electric truck platforms.
