TRX10261-BLUE

Overview

If you're serious about maintaining your Traxxas Maxx monster truck and want to keep it performing at its absolute best, the Traxxas Motor Mounts (Front and Rear) in stunning blue-anodised 6061-T6 aluminium are exactly what you need. These precision-engineered components are designed specifically for the #3461 motor, making them the perfect upgrade or replacement part for your RC model. Whether you're a dedicated basher, a weekend racer, or an enthusiast looking to enhance your RC car UK experience, these motor mounts combine exceptional durability with an eye-catching finish that will make your Maxx stand out from the crowd.

Motor mounts are critical to the reliability and longevity of your RC truck. They hold your motor securely in place whilst absorbing vibrations and impacts from aggressive driving, tough terrain, and competitive racing. The front and rear motor mounts work together as a system to ensure perfect motor alignment, which is essential for optimal performance, efficiency, and power delivery. When these components wear out or become damaged, your motor can shift out of alignment, leading to reduced acceleration, uneven power distribution, and potential damage to your drivetrain. By investing in genuine Traxxas motor mounts, you're investing in the continued reliability of your ready to run RC vehicle.

Traxxas has built its reputation on manufacturing genuine, factory-quality RC parts that are engineered specifically for their own vehicles. These motor mounts are no exception—they're made by Traxxas, for Traxxas, guaranteeing a perfect factory fit every single time. No compromises, no guesswork, no compatibility issues. When you order from RC Model Shop, you're getting the authentic component that Traxxas engineers designed and tested for your Maxx monster truck.

Key Features

• Blue-Anodised 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These motor mounts are machined from tough 6061-T6 aluminium, one of the most popular and reliable alloys used in high-performance RC applications across the UK and beyond. The blue anodised finish provides a hard, protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, scratches, and wear, whilst also giving your motor mounts a brilliant, eye-catching appearance that enhances the overall aesthetic of your Maxx.
• Front and Rear Set — This package includes both front and rear motor mounts, giving you a complete drivetrain solution. Whether you need to replace both at once or upgrade your entire motor mounting system for improved rigidity and alignment, you're getting everything required in one purchase.
• Purpose-Built for #3461 Motor Compatibility — These mounts are engineered exclusively for use with the Traxxas #3461 motor, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment. This precision design eliminates the guesswork and guarantees that your motor will be positioned exactly as Traxxas engineers intended, maintaining optimal power delivery and efficiency.
• Complete Hardware Package Included — The mounts come with all the fasteners you need: four 3x10mm CCS (Cap Socket Screws) with threadlock and two 4x12mm BCS (Button Cap Screws) with threadlock. Threadlock compound is factory-applied to every screw, preventing vibration-induced loosening and ensuring your motor mounts stay secure even during the most aggressive driving sessions.
• Factory Genuine Traxxas Quality — Genuine Traxxas accessories are manufactured to the highest standards and are guaranteed to fit perfectly with your Traxxas RC model. This eliminates compatibility concerns and ensures you're getting components that have been rigorously tested and proven in real-world RC driving conditions.
• Vibration Absorption and Impact Resistance — The aluminium construction provides excellent stiffness whilst still absorbing vibrations from your motor and drivetrain. This reduces stress on motor bearings, extends the life of your motor, and contributes to smoother, more predictable handling characteristics during both casual driving and competitive racing.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Motor Mounts represent a pinnacle of precision engineering for RC vehicles in the UK and internationally. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, these components deliver an exceptional combination of strength-to-weight ratio and durability that makes them ideal for the demands of monster truck driving. The 6061-T6 grade is a heat-treated variant that offers superior strength compared to standard 6061 aluminium, making it the material of choice for performance-critical components in professional RC racing and serious hobbyist applications. The blue anodised finish is more than just aesthetic—it's a functional protective layer that provides corrosion resistance, wear protection, and longevity even when exposed to outdoor elements, moisture, and the inevitable impacts of bashing or racing. The precision machining ensures exact tolerances, meaning your #3461 motor will sit in perfect alignment relative to the rest of your drivetrain, maximising efficiency and power transfer. The included fasteners—four 3x10mm CCS and two 4x12mm BCS—are factory-applied with threadlock compound, a critical feature that prevents vibration from loosening bolts during high-speed runs or aggressive terrain driving. This attention to detail is what separates genuine Traxxas components from inferior aftermarket alternatives. Whether you're running a brushless or brushed motor setup, these mounts will provide the rigid, stable platform your motor needs to deliver consistent performance lap after lap, bash after bash.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these motor mounts compatible with my Traxxas Maxx monster truck? — Yes, these motor mounts are specifically designed for use with the #3461 motor and are compatible with all Traxxas Maxx models, including the WideMaxx variants. Always verify your motor model number matches #3461 before ordering to ensure perfect fitment and performance.
• What makes 6061-T6 aluminium better than standard aluminium for RC motor mounts? — The T6 heat treatment process strengthens the aluminium significantly, providing superior rigidity and durability compared to non-treated variants. This means less flexing under load, better motor alignment stability, and longer component lifespan, which are all critical factors for reliable RC truck performance.
• Do I need to apply my own threadlock to the screws? — No, these fasteners come with threadlock compound already factory-applied, so you can install them immediately without needing to purchase or apply additional threadlock. This saves you time and ensures consistent application of the locking compound on every bolt.
• Why should I replace my motor mounts? — Motor mounts wear out or become damaged over time due to vibration, impacts, and the stress of repeated acceleration and cornering. When mounts become loose or misaligned, your motor can shift position, leading to uneven power delivery, poor acceleration response, and potential damage to connected drivetrain components. Replacing them restores perfect alignment and reliability.
• Is this a complete motor mounting solution? — Yes, this package includes both front and rear motor mounts along with all necessary fasteners, giving you a complete set. However, you'll still need your #3461 motor and your existing Maxx chassis and drivetrain components to complete your setup.
• How do these compare to other motor mount options available in the RC car UK market? — Genuine Traxxas components are manufactured to exacting specifications and are guaranteed to fit perfectly with your vehicle. They use premium materials like 6061-T6 aluminium and come with pre-applied threadlock fasteners, providing superior reliability compared to generic aftermarket alternatives.
• Can I use these mounts with other Traxxas motors? — These mounts are engineered specifically for the #3461 motor. Using them with different motor models may result in poor fitment, misalignment, or mechanical failure. Always verify motor compatibility before installation.
