Traxxas Titan 87T Motor Heat Sink 6061-T6 Aluminium Blue Anodised TRX9793-BLUE

Overview

The Traxxas Heat Sink for the Titan 87T motor is an essential cooling upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts running TRX-4M trail trucks and crawlers. Engineered from premium 6061-T6 aluminium and finished in eye-catching blue anodising, this heat sink delivers both functional performance and distinctive visual style to your RC car. Whether you're tackling extended crawling sessions, pushing your motor to its limits on technical terrain, or simply want to extend the operational life of your Titan motor, this anodised cooling solution is a must-have accessory for any dedicated RC hobbyist in the UK looking to maximise their investment.

Motor cooling is critical when you're running high-performance brushless motors like the Titan 87-turn unit, especially during marathon trail runs or when using low-range transmissions that put sustained load on your motor. The TRX9793-BLUE heat sink reduces motor temperatures significantly, allowing for longer run times, more consistent performance, and reduced thermal wear on your brushless motor windings. This is particularly important if you're running a Traxxas TRX-4M Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, Chevrolet K10, Ford F-150, or TRX-4MT monster truck variant with the Titan motor installed.

As a high-quality Traxxas OEM accessory, this heat sink integrates seamlessly with your existing setup and requires no modification to your motor or chassis. The blue-anodised finish matches the optional blue aluminium suspension components available for TRX-4M builds, allowing you to create a cohesive, colour-coordinated RC truck that looks as good as it performs on the trail.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The heat sink is manufactured from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which offers excellent thermal conductivity combined with exceptional strength and durability, ensuring your motor stays cool during intensive use without any risk of component failure.
• Blue Anodised Finish — The premium anodised blue finish not only provides corrosion resistance and durability but also delivers genuine visual appeal, complementing blue suspension upgrades and other anodised components in your TRX-4M build for a professional, coordinated appearance.
• Optimised Thermal Design — The heat sink features a carefully engineered shape and surface area specifically designed to maximise heat dissipation from the Titan 87T motor, drawing excess heat away from the motor windings and into the surrounding air during operation.
• Direct Motor Compatibility — This heat sink is purpose-built for the Titan 87-turn motor, ensuring perfect fit and maximum cooling efficiency without requiring any modifications or adapters.
• Extended Motor Life — By actively reducing motor operating temperatures, this cooling accessory significantly extends the lifespan of your brushless motor, protecting your investment and reducing the need for premature motor replacement during the season.
• Ideal for Crawling and Low-Range Setups — When paired with the optional low-range 40.3:1 transmission, the heat sink allows for extended crawling sessions without thermal throttling, maximising torque delivery and climb performance on demanding terrain.
• OEM Traxxas Quality — As an official Traxxas accessory, this heat sink meets the brand's exacting standards for fit, finish, and performance, giving you confidence in a genuine product backed by manufacturer support.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Titan 87T motor is a proven brushless unit that delivers consistent torque and reliability across the TRX-4M range. Motor temperatures can climb significantly during extended run sessions, particularly when using the optional low-range crawling transmission with its ultra-low 40.3:1 gear ratio, which places sustained load on the motor windings. The 6061-T6 aluminium heat sink addresses this challenge through superior thermal conductivity — aluminium naturally transfers heat away from the motor core far more efficiently than plastic or composite alternatives. The anodised surface treatment improves durability and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for all-weather outdoor use, whether you're running in damp British conditions, on wet trails after rain, or in dusty off-road environments. The heat sink's optimised geometry maximises surface area exposure to moving air, which increases convective cooling as your RC truck moves through the air. This is particularly effective during fast crawling runs where even modest air movement contributes to cooling. For UK RC hobbyists running marathon sessions at trail parks or during weekend competitions, this accessory will noticeably reduce motor temperature, maintain consistent ESC performance, and preserve motor longevity. The engineering is straightforward and robust — there are no moving parts, no electronics, and no integration requirements, making it a completely passive yet highly effective thermal management solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this heat sink fit my TRX-4M if I upgrade the transmission? — The heat sink is designed specifically for Titan 87T motors on standard transmissions. It does not fit motors installed on the optional 2-speed transmission, so if you plan to upgrade your gearbox, you should verify transmission compatibility before purchase or select alternative cooling solutions.
• How much does motor temperature typically drop with this heat sink installed? — Whilst exact temperature reduction depends on ambient conditions, run intensity, and whether your truck is moving (affecting air cooling), users can expect noticeable temperature reduction compared to running without a heat sink, especially during extended crawling sessions on low-range transmissions that place sustained load on the motor.
• Can I use this heat sink on other Traxxas motors? — No, this heat sink is engineered specifically for the Titan 87-turn motor found in TRX-4M vehicles. Using it with other motor types may result in poor fit or inadequate cooling performance.
• Is installation difficult? — Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools or modifications. Simply remove your motor and slide the heat sink onto the motor body, then reinstall the motor into your chassis. No soldering, wiring, or electronic integration is required.
• Does the anodised finish require maintenance? — The anodised aluminium finish is highly durable and corrosion-resistant. Normal washing with fresh water after muddy trail sessions is sufficient to maintain appearance and function. The anodise coating protects the underlying aluminium from oxidation.
• Will this heat sink work on both low-range and standard transmissions? — Yes, this heat sink will work with both the standard 16.6:1 ratio transmission and the optional low-range 40.3:1 crawling transmission, provided your motor is a Titan 87T installed on a standard single-speed gearbox.
• Why should I upgrade cooling if my motor isn't overheating? — Even if your motor doesn't visibly overheat, reducing operating temperature extends motor lifespan by reducing thermal stress on windings and internal components. Cooler-running motors also maintain more consistent torque throughout your run, ensuring reliable performance during extended trail sessions.
• Can I mix blue-anodised components with other colours on my TRX-4M? — Absolutely. The blue finish looks particularly striking when paired with other blue anodised suspension components available separately, such as the shock set, suspension link set, servo mount, and steering link. However, you can combine it with any colour scheme you prefer — the choice is entirely yours.
