Overview
The RC Overhaul Motor Mount Blue Aluminum TT01 (G-RCO-TAM04BL) is a premium upgrade component designed specifically for enthusiasts running Tamiya TT-01 chassis vehicles. This precision-engineered motor mount replaces the standard plastic A9 part that comes factory-fitted on your RC car, offering a significant step up in durability, thermal management and overall performance. Whether you're a dedicated competitor fine-tuning your race setup or a weekend RC basher looking to extend the lifespan of your vehicle, this blue anodised aluminium motor mount delivers the kind of robust engineering that serious RC car enthusiasts in the UK demand.
Built from machined aluminium and finished in an attractive blue anodised coating, this motor mount provides a stronger, more stable platform for your motor compared to the original plastic component. The upgrade addresses one of the common pain points in RC car ownership: motor temperature management and chassis longevity. By replacing a wear-prone plastic part with precision-machined metal, you'll notice improved consistency in gear mesh, more reliable performance on the track or street, and reduced risk of component failure during intense driving sessions. This is the kind of quality upgrade that makes the difference between a car that performs well and one that keeps performing well, week after week.
Installation is straightforward and accessible even for those newer to RC car modifications. Simply remove the original plastic mount and swap it for this aluminium version, then refer to your vehicle's manual to select the correct mounting holes for your chosen pinion size. The precise engineering means you'll get dependable performance whether you're pushing your RC car through high-speed runs or technical course work. For anyone serious about getting the best from their Tamiya TT-01 or seeking quality RC car upgrades available in the UK, this motor mount is a genuinely worthwhile investment.
Key Features
- Machined Blue Anodised Aluminium Construction — This motor mount is crafted from high-quality aluminium that has been precisely machined to exacting tolerances and finished with a protective blue anodised coating, ensuring superior strength and corrosion resistance compared to the factory plastic part.
- Replaces Stock Plastic Part A9 — The mount directly replaces the original plastic A9 component that comes on TT-01 chassis vehicles, making the upgrade straightforward and ensuring perfect compatibility without requiring frame modifications.
- Improved Motor Temperature Management — The aluminium construction naturally dissipates heat more effectively than plastic, helping to manage motor temperatures during extended driving sessions and contributing to longer component lifespan and more consistent performance.
- Enhanced Durability and Stability — The rigid metal construction provides a more stable platform for your motor, reducing vibration and flex compared to the original plastic mount, which translates to more consistent gear mesh alignment and dependable track or street performance.
- Precise Machining for Consistent Performance — The tight tolerances achieved through precision machining support consistent gear mesh and reliable motor performance, giving you the foundation for competitive driving or recreational RC car use without worrying about part degradation.
- Multiple Pinion Hole Options — The mount features multiple mounting holes to accommodate different pinion sizes, allowing you to optimise your gearing setup by referring to your vehicle's manual and selecting the correct position for your chosen pinion configuration.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Motor Mount represents a thoughtful engineering upgrade that addresses real-world durability concerns in RC car ownership. The shift from plastic to machined blue anodised aluminium fundamentally changes how your motor mounting system behaves under load. Aluminium's superior thermal conductivity means motor heat is dissipated more rapidly, which is particularly important during intensive track sessions or high-speed bash runs where motor temperatures can climb significantly. The precision machining ensures that mounting holes are perfectly aligned and dimensionally accurate, which maintains proper gear mesh spacing — a critical factor in transmission efficiency and longevity. The rigid metal construction also eliminates the slight flex and movement that can occur with plastic components, creating a more stable platform that reduces vibration transfer to the chassis and supports more consistent power delivery. This is the kind of incremental improvement that experienced RC car builders and racers in the UK recognise as essential for reliable performance. The blue anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic; the anodisation process creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion and abrasion, meaning this component will maintain its appearance and function through season after season of active use, whether you're driving on track, street or off-road terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the RC Overhaul Motor Mount compatible with my TT-01 chassis? — Yes, this motor mount is specifically designed for Tamiya TT-01 vehicles and replaces the stock plastic A9 part. Always refer to your vehicle's manual to ensure you select the correct mounting holes for your chosen pinion size, as different gearing setups may require different hole positions on the mount.
- What are the advantages of upgrading from the plastic motor mount to this aluminium version? — The aluminium construction offers significantly improved durability compared to plastic, better heat dissipation for more effective motor temperature management, superior rigidity for consistent gear mesh alignment, and a more stable platform that reduces vibration and flex. These improvements contribute to longer component lifespan, more reliable performance, and better overall consistency in your RC car's behaviour on the track or street.
- How difficult is installation of this motor mount? — Installation is very straightforward and accessible to most RC enthusiasts. You simply remove the original plastic A9 mount and install this aluminium version in its place. Refer to your vehicle's manual to identify and use the correct mounting holes for your specific pinion size, and you'll be ready to drive.
- Will this motor mount help with overheating issues? — The aluminium construction with its superior thermal conductivity will help dissipate motor heat more effectively than the plastic original part, contributing to better thermal management during extended driving sessions. This can help prevent the performance degradation that sometimes occurs when motors run too hot.
- What is the difference between this upgrade and keeping the stock plastic mount? — The stock plastic A9 mount is lighter and adequate for casual use, but it lacks the durability and thermal management of this precision-machined aluminium version. The plastic component can flex under load, potentially affecting gear mesh consistency, and it doesn't dissipate heat as effectively. This aluminium upgrade provides a firmer, more stable platform that supports reliable long-term performance and temperature control, making it the choice of serious RC car builders and competitors.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this is an excellent upgrade for anyone running a TT-01 chassis, including beginners. Installation requires no special tools or advanced knowledge — it's simply a straightforward component swap that any RC enthusiast can handle. Even if you're new to RC car modifications, you'll find this upgrade accessible and immediately beneficial.
