Overview
The FTX Zorro Brushless Alloy Motor Mount B (FTX6974) is an essential spare part designed for RC enthusiasts running the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck and compatible FTX Khaos models. This precision-engineered motor mount is specifically manufactured to work with brushless motor setups, making it an ideal upgrade or replacement component for those serious about maintaining peak performance in their RC car. Whether you're a seasoned RC basher in the UK or someone maintaining an existing Zorro or Khaos platform, this motor mount ensures your brushless motor is securely and optimally positioned within your chassis.
Motor mounts are critical components in any RC car setup, as they directly affect how your motor transfers power to the drivetrain and how well your vehicle handles under load. The Alloy Motor Mount B variant offers enhanced durability compared to standard plastic alternatives, providing superior support and longevity during aggressive driving sessions. This is particularly valuable for brushless systems, which deliver higher power outputs and require robust mounting solutions to maintain alignment and performance. The FTX brand has built a strong reputation within the RC community for producing reliable spare parts that keep vehicles running smoothly, and this motor mount is no exception.
Available through RC Model Shop, this genuine FTX spare part is perfect for repair, maintenance, or restoration of your brushless RC car. If you've experienced motor mount wear, damage, or simply want to upgrade your setup with a more durable alloy component, the FTX6974 is a straightforward bolt-on solution that will restore or improve your vehicle's performance.

Technical Performance
The FTX Zorro Brushless Alloy Motor Mount B represents solid engineering focused on motor security and alignment. Built from alloy material rather than plastic, this mount distributes motor loads more effectively across the chassis, reducing vibration and flex that can occur under the intense power delivery of brushless motor systems. The brushless-specific design ensures that high-torque, high-RPM motor outputs are properly managed, maintaining critical alignment between the motor shaft and the main transmission gear. This is particularly important in 1/10 scale RC cars like the Zorro and Khaos, where motor mounting directly impacts driveline efficiency and overall responsiveness. The alloy construction provides thermal advantages as well, helping dissipate heat generated during extended running sessions. Whether you're pushing your brushless RC car at high speed across fields or tackling challenging terrain, a secure, well-aligned motor mount is essential for converting motor power into reliable ground performance. This component works in conjunction with the rest of the Zorro Brushless or Khaos Brushless drivetrain to deliver consistent, predictable handling and acceleration characteristics.
