Overview
The ARRMA Sliding Motor Mount Plate in red is an essential chassis component designed specifically for ARRMA 1/8 scale brushless RC models. This precision-engineered aluminium motor mount provides a secure and adjustable mounting solution for your BLX motor, allowing you to fine-tune motor position for optimal performance and handling characteristics. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast running high-performance brushless systems or a dedicated basher pushing your ready to run RC truck to its limits, this motor mount plate is engineered to deliver reliability and adjustability when it matters most.
Built from lightweight aluminium and finished in striking anodised red, this component combines aesthetic appeal with functional performance enhancement. The sliding design allows you to adjust motor position without completely disassembling your drivetrain, making it an invaluable tuning tool for competitive drivers and weekend warriors alike. If you're looking to upgrade or replace a worn motor mount on your 1/8 scale RC car, UK RC enthusiasts trust ARRMA components for their quality construction and precise engineering.
This is a chassis part that works as part of ARRMA's modular component system, allowing you to customise and optimise your RC vehicle's performance. The red anodised finish matches ARRMA's signature colour scheme while providing enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring your investment remains protected through countless hours of RC action.
Key Features
- Precision Manufactured Aluminium Construction — The motor mount plate is precision engineered from lightweight aluminium, which reduces overall vehicle weight while maintaining structural integrity and ensuring consistent hardware fit across multiple fastening points, a crucial factor for predictable handling and weight distribution.
- Anodised Red Finish — The anodised red coating serves dual purposes: delivering cool ARRMA looks that complement your brushless RC model whilst simultaneously increasing durability through corrosion resistance, protecting against moisture and harsh RC track conditions.
- Precision Manufactured Screw Mounting Holes — All mounting holes are manufactured to exacting tolerances, enabling fast and easy servicing without requiring specialist tools or extensive disassembly, allowing you to maintain and adjust your RC setup quickly.
- Excellent Heat Dissipation — The aluminium material naturally assists in dissipating heat generated during intense RC action, protecting your BLX motor from thermal stress and extending the lifespan of your brushless drivetrain during extended running sessions.
- Sliding Motor Position Adjustment — The sliding design enables you to adjust motor position from above for ease of servicing, allowing fine-tuning of motor mesh and performance characteristics without complete drivetrain removal.
- Designed for ARRMA 1/8 Scale BLX Motors — Engineered specifically for ARRMA's brushless motor systems, this component ensures perfect compatibility and reliable operation with your 1/8 scale RC truck, buggy or basher.
Technical Performance
This red aluminium sliding motor mount plate represents ARRMA's commitment to precision engineering and modular RC design. The component is manufactured to exacting specifications using lightweight aluminium alloy, chosen specifically for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and thermal conductivity properties. The anodised finish provides a hardened surface layer that resists corrosion, scratches and UV degradation, maintaining both appearance and protective qualities through years of RC use. The precision-drilled screw mounting holes ensure repeatability and accuracy, allowing seamless integration with ARRMA 1/8 scale BLX motor systems across multiple chassis platforms. The sliding design mechanism enables smooth motor position adjustment for mesh tuning without complete disassembly, a feature that competitive RC drivers appreciate when dialling in their vehicles for specific racing conditions or terrain types. The aluminium construction's inherent thermal properties actively dissipate heat away from your brushless motor during high-current draw situations, maintaining optimal operating temperatures and protecting expensive brushless motors from thermal shutdown or damage during intense RC action. Whether you're running a KRATON, TALION, TYPHON, NOTORIOUS, OUTCAST or other compatible ARRMA 1/8 scale 6S model, this motor mount plate delivers the adjustability and durability expected from genuine ARRMA components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models is this motor mount plate compatible with? — This red sliding motor mount plate is compatible with a comprehensive range of ARRMA 1/8 and 1/7 scale brushless models including the KRATON 6S (all versions), TYPHON 6S, TALION 6S, NOTORIOUS 6S, OUTCAST 6S, INFRACTION 6S, FELONY 6S, MOJAVE 6S, and LIMITLESS 6S, making it one of the most versatile motor mount solutions in the ARRMA lineup for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Do I need any other parts to install this motor mount plate? — Yes, this sliding motor mount plate (ARA320469) must be used in conjunction with ARRMA part #ARA320468 and #ARA727412 to create the complete motor mounting assembly, so you'll need to ensure you have all three components before beginning installation.
- Why choose an aluminium motor mount over plastic alternatives? — Aluminium offers superior heat dissipation properties that actively cool your brushless motor during high-performance driving, better durability under stress, and more consistent precision fitment thanks to tighter manufacturing tolerances, making it the preferred choice for serious RC drivers and competitive racers.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — While this component is not difficult to install, it is a chassis part best suited to owners of already-assembled RC models or those with basic mechanical knowledge, rather than absolute beginners looking for a complete ready to run RC solution.
- How does the sliding design improve performance? — The sliding mechanism allows you to adjust motor mesh and position without complete disassembly, enabling precise tuning of motor timing and gear mesh which directly affects acceleration, top speed and handling characteristics of your 1/8 scale RC model.
- What are the benefits of the anodised red finish? — Beyond the striking ARRMA red aesthetic that matches factory liveries, the anodised coating provides a hardened protective layer that resists corrosion, UV damage and scratches, ensuring your motor mount remains both beautiful and functional through extensive use.
