Overview
The ARRMA Sliding Motor Mount in red is a precision-engineered aluminium component designed to provide a safe and secure mounting point for the motor in your ARRMA RC vehicle. This is an essential spare part for anyone running an ARRMA 1/7 Limitless V2 Speed Bash model, or for builders and enthusiasts looking to upgrade or maintain their RC car UK setup. Whether you're a competitive racer, a weekend basher, or someone who takes their RC hobby seriously, having the correct motor mounting system is crucial for reliable performance and longevity of your brushless RC motor.
This red sliding motor mount represents ARRMA's commitment to quality chassis spares and performance tuning components. The innovative sliding design allows you to adjust your motor position with ease, which is particularly valuable when fine-tuning your RC car's performance characteristics. Motor position adjustment is a well-known tuning technique in the RC racing community, affecting acceleration, top speed, and overall handling balance. With the adjustment screws accessed conveniently from above, you can make these critical adjustments without having to disassemble major components of your vehicle.
The ARRMA Sliding Motor Mount is manufactured to the highest standards and comes anodised in striking red for both aesthetic appeal and enhanced durability. This is not just a cosmetic choice; the anodising process significantly improves the component's resistance to wear, corrosion, and the general abuse that comes with serious RC action. For anyone serious about maintaining their ready to run RC or race-kit vehicle in peak condition, this sliding motor mount is an invaluable addition to your spares box.
Key Features
- Lightweight Aluminium Construction — Precision manufactured from high-quality aluminium, this motor mount reduces overall vehicle weight whilst maintaining exceptional rigidity and consistent hardware fit, which translates directly to improved acceleration and handling in your RC car UK.
- Anodised Red Finish — The anodised red coating provides cool ARRMA aesthetics whilst delivering significantly increased durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring your mount will withstand the demands of extreme RC action and harsh weather conditions.
- Adjustable Motor Position — The sliding design with adjustment screws accessed from above allows you to fine-tune your motor mounting position without complete disassembly, a critical feature for competitive tuning and performance optimisation.
- Thermal Management — The aluminium material actively assists in dissipating heat during intense RC driving sessions, protecting your motor from thermal stress and extending its operational lifespan during extended bashing or racing.
- Precision Engineering — Every component is manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance with your ARRMA chassis, eliminating play and vibration that could compromise handling.
- Easy Servicing — With motor position adjustments accessible from above, maintenance and tuning becomes significantly easier, saving you time and frustration when you want to make quick setup changes at the track or bash site.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Sliding Motor Mount represents modern RC engineering excellence, utilising lightweight aluminium as its primary material to minimise rotational inertia and unsprung weight whilst maintaining the rigidity necessary for precise motor alignment. The precision manufacturing ensures that motor mounting tolerances are held to strict specifications, critical for maintaining consistent performance across multiple driving sessions. The anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; it creates a hard ceramic layer that resists abrasion from sand, dust, and moisture—common hazards in outdoor RC bashings across the UK. The aluminium's thermal conductivity is a significant advantage during intense driving sessions, as it actively wicks heat away from your motor, preventing thermal throttling and extending runtime on brushless RC setups. The sliding mechanism allows motors up to 40mm, 50mm, or 56mm in diameter (depending on which compatible motor plate you select) to be mounted and adjusted, accommodating a wide range of brushless and brushed motors with 110mm length specifications. This flexibility makes the mount adaptable to various motor sizes and tuning requirements, from novice level RC cars to competitive race vehicles. The mounting screw pitch of either 25mm or 30mm (depending on motor plate) ensures compatibility with standard ARRMA motor specifications. Build quality is exceptional throughout, with every detail engineered for reliability during the punishing demands of competitive racing or aggressive weekend bashing in all UK weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA vehicles is this sliding motor mount compatible with? — This mount is specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/7 Limitless V2 Speed Bash Roller, though it may be compatible with other ARRMA 1/7 platforms depending on your chassis setup. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchase.
- What motor sizes does this mount support? — The ARRMA Sliding Motor Mount can accommodate motors up to 40mm, 50mm, or 56mm in diameter, depending on which compatible motor plate (ARA320665, ARA320721, or ARA320722) you pair it with. All supported motors must be 110mm in length with either 25mm or 30mm mounting screw pitch depending on the plate selected.
- Why should I adjust my motor position in my RC car UK? — Motor position is a critical tuning variable that affects acceleration, top speed, and the overall balance of your vehicle. Sliding the motor forward increases acceleration response, whilst sliding it backward can improve top-end speed. The ARRMA Sliding Motor Mount makes these adjustments straightforward and repeatable.
- How does the anodised finish improve durability? — The anodising process creates a hard ceramic oxide layer on the aluminium surface that resists corrosion, abrasion, and chemical attack from moisture, salt, and dirt. This means your red motor mount will maintain its appearance and structural integrity through countless bashings and racing sessions.
- Will this motor mount work with my existing ARRMA spares? — This is a precision chassis spare designed to work seamlessly with other ARRMA 1/7 components. However, you must use a compatible motor plate (ARA320665, ARA320721, or ARA320722) selected based on your motor's diameter and mounting screw pitch specifications.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a spare part rather than a complete vehicle, it is straightforward to install and service. If you are new to RC and need a motor mount, you should ensure you have a compatible motor plate and understand your motor's specifications before purchasing. It is recommended to have some basic RC maintenance experience or access to online guides specific to ARRMA vehicles.
- What is the performance benefit of using an aluminium motor mount? — Aluminium provides the ideal balance of light weight and rigidity. A heavier steel mount would reduce acceleration, whilst a plastic mount might flex under load and compromise motor alignment. The aluminium mount ensures precise motor positioning whilst minimising rotational inertia, directly improving your RC car's throttle response and handling characteristics.
- How do I adjust the motor position? — The adjustment screws are accessed from above the motor mount, allowing you to slide your motor forward or backward without complete disassembly. Simply loosen the screws, slide the motor to your desired position, and retighten. This is one of the key advantages of the sliding design.
