Overview
The ARRMA V4 Sliding Motor Mount in red is a precision-engineered spare part designed specifically for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliable performance from their 1/8 scale brushless models. Whether you're running an ARRMA Felony 6S BLX, LIMITLESS 8S AVC, TALION 6S EXB, or Typhon 6S V5 BLX, this aluminium motor mount provides the secure fastening point your BLX motor needs during extreme RC action. If you're looking for quality motor mount replacement parts for your RC car UK collection, this official ARRMA component delivers the precision fit and durability you'd expect from the manufacturer.
Built from lightweight aluminium and finished in vibrant anodised red, this sliding motor mount combines functional engineering with the distinctive ARRMA look that appeals to RC enthusiasts everywhere. The design allows for motor position adjustment, enabling you to fine-tune your setup for optimal performance whether you're bashing on the weekend or pushing hard in competitive driving. This is a genuine OEM part, not an aftermarket clone, so you can be confident you're getting the exact specifications and quality standards that ARRMA designed into your vehicle.
The sliding mechanism allows you to adjust motor timing and clearance with ease, which is crucial for maintaining peak performance in brushless RC cars. As an essential chassis spare, this motor mount will eventually need replacement due to normal wear and tear from intense RC action, making it a worthwhile investment to keep your ready to run RC truck or buggy running at its best.
Key Features
- Lightweight Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from precision-engineered aluminium, this motor mount reduces overall vehicle weight whilst maintaining rigid strength and consistent hardware fit, which directly improves acceleration, handling and battery runtime on your RC car.
- Anodised Red Finish — The hard anodised red coating provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance whilst adding authentic ARRMA styling to your vehicle's chassis, ensuring it looks professional and withstands the rigours of outdoor RC bashng.
- Easy Motor Position Adjustment — The adjustment screws are conveniently accessed from above the mount, saving you time during servicing and allowing quick tweaks to motor timing without disassembling major components of your RC model.
- Excellent Heat Dissipation — Aluminium's superior thermal conductivity helps dissipate excess heat generated by your BLX motor during extreme RC action, which extends motor lifespan and maintains consistent performance during long driving sessions.
- Genuine OEM ARRMA Part — This is an official ARRMA component designed and manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with your specific ARRMA model and reliability that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
- Sliding Mount Design — The sliding mechanism allows precise motor positioning adjustments, enabling you to optimise motor timing for your driving style and track conditions, which is essential for competitive RC drivers and performance enthusiasts.
Technical Performance
This sliding motor mount is engineered specifically to support ARRMA's 1/8 scale BLX brushless motor systems, making it compatible with several high-performance ARRMA models including the Felony 6S BLX (available in black and orange variants), the 1/7 scale LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4x4 RTR (in both white/blue and red/black colour schemes), the 1/7 TALION 6S EXB 4x4 RTR truck in black, and the Typhon 6S V5 BLX model. The aluminium construction provides an ideal balance between weight reduction and rigidity, crucial factors in high-performance RC car engineering. The material's natural thermal conductivity actively assists in dissipating heat during extreme RC action, protecting your motor from thermal stress during sustained high-speed runs. The precision manufacturing ensures that all hardware fits consistently, eliminating play or misalignment that could affect motor efficiency or cause vibration during operation. The anodised finish protects the underlying aluminium from corrosion and oxidation, ensuring long service life even when exposed to moisture and environmental contaminants common in outdoor RC activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models does this motor mount fit? — This sliding motor mount is compatible with the Felony 6S BLX (black and orange versions), the 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4x4 RTR (white/blue and red/black), the 1/7 TALION 6S EXB 4x4 RTR speed truck in black, and the Typhon 6S V5 BLX. Always check your model number against the compatibility list to ensure correct fitment.
- Why would I need to replace my motor mount? — Motor mounts experience stress from vibration, impact, and thermal cycling during regular RC car operation. Over time, the mount may develop cracks, loosen, or wear, affecting motor alignment and performance. Replacing it with genuine ARRMA parts restores your vehicle's performance and reliability.
- Is this a complete solution or do I need other parts? — This mount works as part of a system and requires parts #ARA320469 and #ARA727412 to function correctly. These components work together to provide complete motor mounting and positioning for your BLX system.
- What makes aluminium better than plastic for a motor mount? — Aluminium offers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic, meaning it's lighter but stronger. It also conducts heat away from your motor far more effectively than plastic, which helps prevent thermal throttling during intense driving sessions and extends motor life significantly.
- Can I use this for other ARRMA models? — Only use this mount on the specific ARRMA models listed in the compatibility section. Using it on incompatible models may result in improper motor alignment, poor performance, or damage to your vehicle's chassis.
- How does the sliding adjustment work? — The mount features adjustment screws that can be accessed and manipulated from above your vehicle. These screws allow you to slide the motor mounting point forwards or backwards, enabling fine-tuning of motor timing and clearance without complete disassembly.
