This is a critical chassis component that directly impacts your vehicle's performance, motor cooling efficiency, and gear protection—making it an ideal upgrade for anyone looking to keep their RC model in peak condition.
Designed with the exacting standards that ARRMA is known for, this motor mount set combines advanced materials with precision manufacturing to ensure consistent fit and long-lasting reliability. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying ready to run RC trucks or a serious competitor who demands the best performance from their brushless RC vehicles, this replacement part represents genuine ARRMA engineering at its finest. The complete set includes everything you need except for one M3 fastener, making installation straightforward for experienced modellers.
This motor mount set is specifically engineered to accommodate 36 series size motors with 1-inch (25.4mm) motor screw spacing, making it compatible with a wide selection of ARRMA's most popular vehicles including the Kraton, Outcast, Granite, Senton, Big Rock, Vorteks, Infraction, Typhon, and Vendetta models across both 1/10 and 1/8 scales.
Key Features
- Red Anodised Aluminium Motor Plate — The 6mm thick aluminium motor plate is precision-machined to exacting tolerances and finished with a professional red anodised coating that provides both visual appeal and corrosion resistance. This substantial thickness ensures rigid, accurate motor positioning that minimises vibration and flex during hard driving, whilst the aluminium material offers excellent heat dissipation to keep your motor running at optimal temperatures during extended driving sessions.
- Integrated Gear Cover — The included gear cover provides essential protection for your spur gear, pinion gear, and slipper clutch against dirt, dust, and debris ingress. This keeps critical drivetrain components cleaner for longer, reducing maintenance intervals and extending the lifespan of your transmission components, which is particularly valuable if you regularly bash your RC car in dusty or sandy environments.
- Tough Composite Material Construction — The power module housing and gear cover are manufactured from durable composite material engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of RC driving. This material provides excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight, ensuring your motor mount set can handle the punishment of high-speed running, aggressive launching, and occasional crashes without compromising structural integrity.
- Precision Manufacturing for Perfect Fit — Every component in this set is precision-manufactured to ensure consistent, accurate fitment to your ARRMA chassis. This level of manufacturing consistency is critical—sloppy tolerances can lead to motor misalignment, poor heat dissipation, and drivetrain problems. With this genuine ARRMA set, you can be confident of perfect alignment and reliable operation every time.
- 36 Series Motor Compatibility — This motor mount set is designed to accommodate 36 series size motors with 1-inch (25.4mm) motor screw spacing, the industry-standard sizing for high-performance 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles. This compatibility extends to pinion sizes ranging from 10T through 26T when used with the standard 57T 0.8 module spur gear, giving you excellent flexibility for tuning your vehicle's performance characteristics.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Aluminium Motor Mount Set represents genuine engineering excellence specifically designed for the demanding world of RC motorsport. The 6mm thick red anodised aluminium motor plate is a substantial, rigid component that provides the foundation for accurate motor positioning—this thickness is critical because motor misalignment can cause catastrophic drivetrain wear and power loss. The aluminium material choice is particularly important as it offers outstanding thermal conductivity, actively drawing heat away from your motor during operation and dissipating it through the large surface area of the plate. This active cooling is essential when running high-performance brushless motors in 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles, where sustained high-speed running can generate significant heat. The composite materials used for the power module housing and gear cover provide excellent durability and impact resistance whilst keeping weight to a minimum—a critical consideration in RC performance tuning. The precision manufacturing tolerances ensure that every component aligns perfectly with your ARRMA chassis, eliminating the frustration of poor fitment and the performance penalties that come with motor misalignment. The inclusion of a comprehensive gear cover means your spur gear, pinion, and slipper clutch are protected from environmental contaminants that would otherwise compromise smooth operation and longevity. For vehicles equipped with 36 series motors using standard 1-inch motor spacing, this mount set provides the definitive solution for maintaining peak performance and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this Aluminium Motor Mount Set suitable for my ARRMA vehicle? — This motor mount set is compatible with a wide range of ARRMA models including the 1/10 Big Rock 3S, Granite (multiple versions), Kraton, Outcast, Senton, and Vorteks, as well as 1/8 scale Infraction, Typhon, and Vendetta models. The set is designed for 36 series motors with 1-inch (25.4mm) motor screw spacing, which is the standard configuration across most modern ARRMA brushless and brushed vehicles. Check your vehicle's documentation or contact our team if you're unsure about compatibility with your specific model.
- What motor sizes does this mount accommodate? — This set is engineered to fit 36 series size motors, which represents the standard motor sizing for high-performance 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC trucks and buggies. The 1-inch (25.4mm) motor screw spacing is the industry standard for this class of vehicle.
- Can I use different pinion sizes with this motor mount? — Yes, the motor mount set supports pinion sizes ranging from 10T through 26T when used in conjunction with the standard 57T 0.8 module spur gear. This flexibility allows you to fine-tune your vehicle's acceleration and top speed characteristics by selecting appropriate gear ratios for your driving style and track conditions.
- Is this a replacement part or an upgrade? — This set functions as a genuine replacement component for ARRMA vehicles, ideal if you've damaged your original motor mount, want to restore a vehicle to factory specification, or are performing a comprehensive chassis rebuild. Many experienced RC modellers also consider it a worthwhile upgrade due to the robust construction and excellent engineering that helps maintain motor alignment and cooling efficiency over extended use.
- What makes aluminium better than plastic for a motor mount? — Aluminium offers superior rigidity, which minimises deflection and ensures your motor remains perfectly aligned even under the extreme stresses of high-speed driving and aggressive acceleration. The red anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance. Most importantly, aluminium's excellent thermal conductivity actively cools your motor by dissipating heat away from the component, whereas plastic motor mounts provide no cooling benefit. This active cooling becomes increasingly important when running high-performance brushless motors in demanding applications.
- Does this include everything I need for installation? — The set includes the aluminium motor plate, power module housing, gear cover, and one M3 x 8mm flat head screw. Most installations will require one additional M3 fastener depending on your specific ARRMA model—always consult your vehicle's assembly manual or contact our expert team to confirm the exact fastener requirements for your vehicle before beginning installation.
