Overview
The ARRMA Sliding Motor Mount Black Z-ARA320647 is a precision-engineered aluminium component designed to provide a safe and secure mounting point for brushless motors in high-performance RC cars. Whether you're running a competitive RC buggy, a fast RC truck, or a dedicated speed machine, this sliding motor mount offers the adjustability and durability that serious RC enthusiasts demand. As a replacement spare part for compatible ARRMA models, it delivers the same quality and engineering standards that have made ARRMA a leader in the ready to run RC car market across the UK and beyond.
This component is specifically engineered for ARRMA's latest generation of 6S brushless RC vehicles, including the Felony 6S BLX, Infraction 6S BLX, KRATON 6S EXB, TALION 6S EXB, and Typhon 6S models. If you're maintaining, upgrading, or repairing one of these high-specification brushless RC cars, this sliding motor mount is an essential OEM spare part that ensures your motor is mounted correctly and securely for optimal performance.
Built from lightweight aluminium rather than cheaper plastic alternatives, this mount combines precision manufacturing with practical engineering to give you a component that will last through countless runs and bashing sessions. The black anodised finish not only looks professional and stealthy on your RC car, but also provides increased durability and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.
Key Features
- Precision Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from high-grade lightweight aluminium rather than plastic, this motor mount provides superior strength and consistency compared to cheaper alternatives, ensuring your brushless motor stays perfectly aligned even during aggressive RC driving and extreme action.
- Reduced Vehicle Weight — The use of aluminium instead of heavier materials helps keep your overall RC car weight down, which directly improves acceleration, handling, and battery runtime on every run you make with your brushless RC model.
- Black Anodised Finish — The professional black anodised coating delivers a stealthy, race-ready appearance whilst simultaneously increasing the durability and resistance to corrosion, meaning your motor mount will look great and perform reliably for years of RC bashing and competition.
- Heat Dissipation Properties — During extreme RC action and high-speed running, aluminium's excellent thermal conductivity helps dissipate heat away from your motor and drivetrain, protecting your components from thermal damage and extending the lifespan of your expensive brushless system.
- Top-Access Motor Adjustment — The motor position adjustment screws are accessed from above, making it quick and straightforward to service and fine-tune your motor geometry without having to disassemble your entire RC car chassis, saving valuable time between runs.
- Secure Motor Mounting — Designed specifically to work in conjunction with the ARA320648 Sliding Motor Mount Plate, this mount provides a rock-solid mounting point that keeps your brushless motor perfectly positioned and free from vibration even at top speed.
Technical Performance
This sliding motor mount represents ARRMA's commitment to quality component engineering for their brushless RC vehicles. The aluminium construction provides a perfect balance between strength and weight, critical factors in achieving the responsive handling and rapid acceleration that modern brushless 6S RC cars demand. Whether you're running the powerful KRATON 6S EXB 4x4 speed monster truck, the track-focused TALION 6S EXB, or the compact and agile Typhon 6S buggy platform, this motor mount ensures your brushless motor is held securely in the correct position. The precision manufacturing tolerances guarantee consistent hardware fit across production batches, meaning your spare mount will integrate perfectly with your existing chassis without modification. The anodised black finish is not merely cosmetic—it represents a protective layer that prevents aluminium oxidation and corrosion, extending the working life of the component through countless cycles of high-speed running, moisture exposure, and the general wear and tear associated with RC car ownership in the UK climate.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC cars are compatible with the Z-ARA320647 motor mount? — This sliding motor mount is compatible with a range of ARRMA's brushless 6S vehicles, including the Felony 6S BLX in both black and orange variants, the Infraction 6S BLX in blue and silver, the 1/8 KRATON 6S EXB 4x4 RTR speed monster truck in black, the 1/7 TALION 6S EXB 4x4 RTR speed truck in black, the Typhon 6S V5 BLX, and the 1/8 TLR Tuned Typhon 6S 4WD BLX buggy. Always check your model number against the compatibility list before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
- What do I need to fit this motor mount to my ARRMA RC car? — The Z-ARA320647 motor mount works in conjunction with the ARA320648 Sliding Motor Mount Plate, which must be purchased separately. Together, these two components form the complete motor mounting system for compatible ARRMA models. No other special tools or parts are required beyond what you would normally use to service your RC car.
- Why is aluminium better than plastic for motor mounts on RC cars? — Aluminium provides superior rigidity, strength, and heat dissipation compared to plastic components. For high-performance brushless RC cars running at speed, this means your motor stays in perfect alignment without flex or vibration, your heat is managed more effectively, and the overall longevity of the component is significantly extended, making it a worthwhile investment for serious RC enthusiasts.
- How do I adjust the motor position on this mount? — The clever design of this sliding motor mount allows you to adjust motor position from above the chassis, which means you don't need to remove the entire motor assembly or disassemble major chassis components. This top-access design saves time between runs and makes fine-tuning your motor geometry quick and convenient.
- Is this motor mount suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spare part designed for users who already own a compatible ARRMA brushless RC car and have some experience with RC maintenance and setup. It is not a complete product on its own, and installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and the correct companion mounting plate. If you're new to RC cars, we recommend starting with a complete ready to run brushless RC model from ARRMA before ordering replacement parts.
- Will this motor mount work with my nitro RC car? — No, this component is specifically designed for brushless motor mounting on ARRMA's electric brushless 6S RC cars. If you run a nitro-powered RC vehicle, you will need different motor mounting hardware designed for that platform.
