Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The motor cradle is machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, which offers unbeatable toughness and exceptional durability compared to plastic alternatives, meaning your motor mounts will withstand the punishment of aggressive driving without warping or cracking.
• Blue Anodised Finish — The brilliant anodised surface provides both aesthetic appeal and genuine functional benefits, including enhanced corrosion resistance and protection against UV damage, ensuring your RC car UK setup maintains its appearance and structural integrity for years.
• Factory-Perfect Fitment — As genuine Traxxas accessories manufactured by Traxxas specifically for Traxxas vehicles, these mounts guarantee perfect compatibility with your Maxx Slash, eliminating installation issues and ensuring optimal performance without modification.
• Included Hardware Kit — The package includes all necessary fasteners: four 3x10mm CCS screws with threadlock and two 4x12mm BCS screws with threadlock, allowing you to complete your installation without sourcing additional parts.
• Optimised for VXL-6S Systems — These mounts are specifically designed for Maxx trucks equipped with the optional Velineon VXL-6S brushless power system, providing the structural support needed for brushless motor performance and reliability.
• Lightweight Performance Design — Despite their exceptional strength, the aluminium construction keeps weight to a minimum, contributing to better acceleration and handling characteristics in your 1/8 4WD brushless short course truck.
• Threadlock-Equipped Fasteners — All included screws come pre-treated with threadlock, preventing vibration-induced loosening during high-speed running and reducing maintenance requirements between bash sessions.
• Compatible with Motor Mount Caps — These front and rear motor mounts work seamlessly with the 10263-series aluminium motor mount caps, allowing you to create a complete, cohesive upgrade package that maximises structural rigidity and visual impact.

Technical Performance

These motor mounts represent a significant performance upgrade for your Traxxas Maxx Slash equipped with the Velineon VXL-6S brushless motor system. The use of 6061-T6 aluminium provides superior rigidity compared to stock plastic components, which is crucial for maintaining precise motor alignment when running high-output brushless systems that generate considerable torque and vibration. The machined construction ensures tight tolerances and consistent dimensions across the front and rear mounts, eliminating any variance that could lead to drivetrain binding or uneven power delivery. In the context of 1/8 4WD brushless short course truck performance, structural integrity of the motor mounting system is paramount—any flex or movement in the cradle can result in poor handling, uneven tyre wear, and reduced top-speed capability. The anodised finish provides genuine protection against the corrosive effects of moisture, salt residue, and cleaning solutions commonly encountered when running RC cars in the UK climate, extending the service life of these premium components. When paired with the optional 10263-series aluminium motor mount cap, this system creates a fully rigid motor assembly that maximises power transmission efficiency and allows the Velineon VXL-6S brushless system to deliver consistent, predictable performance lap after lap.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these motor mounts fit my Traxxas Maxx Slash? — Yes, these mounts are designed specifically for Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD brushless short course trucks equipped with the optional Velineon VXL-6S power system. They are compatible with all colour variants including the red, green, rock and roll, and blue versions of the Maxx Slash.
• What is the advantage of aluminium over plastic motor mounts? — Aluminium motor mounts offer significantly superior rigidity, which translates to better motor alignment, more consistent power delivery, and improved overall handling characteristics. Aluminium also provides better heat dissipation around the motor area and superior longevity, as it resists the cracking and warping that can occur with plastic components during aggressive driving or exposure to temperature extremes.
• Do I need to use threadlock on the screws? — No, the included fasteners come pre-treated with threadlock, so you can install them directly without applying additional threadlock compound. This saves time during installation and ensures vibration resistance from the moment you complete your setup.
• Can I use these mounts without the VXL-6S brushless system? — No, these mounts are specifically designed for use with the optional Velineon VXL-6S brushless motor system in the Maxx Slash. They are not compatible with other motor configurations and are optimised for the torque and performance characteristics of this brushless system.
• Should I purchase the motor mount caps at the same time? — Whilst not strictly required for basic functionality, Traxxas recommends combining these motor mounts with the 10263-series aluminium motor mount cap for optimal strength and performance. The cap works with the cradle to create a fully rigid motor assembly that maximises the potential of your brushless system.
• How do these blue mounts compare to mounts in other colours? — The blue-anodised 6061-T6 aluminium provides the same structural performance and durability as mounts available in alternative colours such as red, green, or grey. The colour choice is purely aesthetic, allowing you to coordinate your motor mounts with your truck's body colour or personal preferences.
• Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, absolutely. These are genuine Traxxas accessories manufactured by Traxxas specifically for Traxxas vehicles, guaranteeing perfect factory fit and compatibility. Authentic Traxxas parts ensure optimal performance and reliability compared to third-party alternatives.
• What tools do I need for installation? — Standard hex drivers compatible with your screws are all you need for installation. The mounts replace existing components in a straightforward swap, and comprehensive Traxxas documentation is available to guide you through the process.
