TRX10262-GRN

Overview

Upgrade your Traxxas Maxx Slash short course truck with these premium green-anodised aluminium motor mounts, designed to add both strength and style to your RC vehicle. Whether you're a competitive racer or a weekend basher enjoying RC cars in the UK, these genuine Traxxas motor mounts deliver the durability and precision engineering that separates quality RC upgrades from the rest. The motor cradle is machined from tough 6061-T6 aluminium, a material renowned in the RC hobby for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring your motor stays secure even during aggressive driving and high-impact terrain.

These front and rear motor mounts are the perfect upgrade for any Traxxas Maxx Slash owner looking to enhance chassis durability and achieve a more cohesive, professional appearance. The brilliant anodised green finish not only looks fantastic but also provides a protective layer against corrosion and wear, keeping your RC truck looking fresh for years of bashing. Genuine Traxxas accessories are made by Traxxas, for Traxxas, to guarantee a perfect factory fit every time, eliminating the fitment issues you might encounter with aftermarket alternatives. If you're running the optional Velineon VXL-6s power system in your Maxx truck, these motor mounts are an essential component that ensures your high-performance brushless motor is mounted securely and reliably.

RC enthusiasts across the UK trust Traxxas motor mounts because they're engineered with the same precision as the trucks themselves. The inclusion of pre-threaded fasteners with threadlock applied means less time spent on installation and more time enjoying your RC short course truck. Combine these motor mounts with the compatible 10263-series aluminium motor mount cap for an even more robust and professional-looking setup that will turn heads at your local RC track or bashing spot.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Machined from aerospace-grade aluminium alloy that delivers unbeatable toughness while remaining lightweight, ensuring your motor mounts won't flex or bend under load during high-speed runs and aggressive cornering in your RC short course truck.
• Green-Anodised Finish — The brilliant anodised coating provides a stunning aesthetic that matches green-colour Maxx Slash variants while offering protective corrosion resistance that keeps your mounts looking fresh and performing reliably in wet conditions and after extended use.
• Front and Rear Motor Mounts — Complete set includes both front and rear mounts, giving you a comprehensive upgrade that ensures consistent motor mounting performance across your entire RC truck chassis.
• Pre-Applied Threadlock — All fasteners come with threadlock already applied, including four 3x10mm CCS screws and two 4x12mm BCS bolts, eliminating the need to purchase additional threadlock and ensuring fasteners stay secure through multiple bashing sessions.
• Perfect Factory Fit — As genuine Traxxas accessories manufactured by Traxxas specifically for Traxxas vehicles, these motor mounts guarantee perfect alignment and fitment with zero compatibility issues, a key advantage over generic aftermarket alternatives available to RC enthusiasts in the UK.
• Compatible with Velineon VXL-6s Power System — Specifically designed to work with the optional Velineon VXL-6s brushless power system, these mounts ensure your high-performance motor installation is secure and properly aligned for maximum efficiency and reliability.
• Comprehensive Hardware Package — The kit includes all necessary fasteners with sizes appropriate for both front and rear mounting applications, meaning you have everything needed to complete the installation on your RC truck without purchasing additional hardware.

Technical Performance

The TRX10262-GRN motor mounts represent professional-grade engineering that reflects Traxxas's commitment to quality across their entire accessory range. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, the same material used in aerospace and automotive applications, these mounts deliver exceptional rigidity without adding unnecessary weight to your RC vehicle. The 6061-T6 alloy is recognised throughout the RC hobby as the optimal choice for stressed components because it offers superior strength characteristics compared to lesser aluminium grades, better machinability for precision tolerances, and excellent anodising properties that create a durable, attractive finish. The green anodised coating is not merely decorative; anodising creates a hard oxide layer that protects the underlying aluminium from corrosion, UV degradation, and the chemical exposure that occurs during regular RC use, particularly in the UK's damp climate. These motor mounts are engineered specifically for use with the #3483 motor and are optimised to work with the optional Velineon VXL-6s brushless power system, ensuring your high-performance setup benefits from a motor mounting solution designed with these components in mind. The inclusion of pre-applied threadlock on all fasteners—four 3x10mm CCS screws and two 4x12mm BCS bolts—demonstrates meticulous attention to reliability; threadlock prevents vibration-induced loosening that can compromise motor alignment and power delivery during aggressive RC driving. For anyone seeking to upgrade their Maxxslash short course truck or maintain a competitive-grade setup, these motor mounts deliver the precision engineering and materials quality that professional RC racers and serious enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these motor mounts suitable for my Traxxas Maxx Slash RC truck? — Yes, the TRX10262-GRN motor mounts are specifically designed for Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 scale short course trucks, particularly those equipped with the optional Velineon VXL-6s brushless power system. These mounts provide front and rear coverage, ensuring comprehensive motor security across your entire truck chassis.
• What is 6061-T6 aluminium and why does it matter for RC parts? — 6061-T6 is a heat-treated aluminium alloy that combines exceptional strength with relatively light weight, making it the industry standard for high-stress RC components. The T6 designation indicates the material has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, resulting in superior mechanical properties compared to cast or softer aluminium grades. This is why serious RC racers and bashers choose 6061-T6 components—they resist bending and flexing under motor torque and impact loads far better than weaker alternatives.
• Can I use these motor mounts with a different motor or power system? — These mounts are engineered specifically for the #3483 motor and optimised for the Velineon VXL-6s brushless system. While they may fit other motor configurations, Traxxas designs its accessories for precise fitment with designated components, so compatibility with other motors is not guaranteed. For best results and performance, use these mounts as intended with your Maxx Slash's compatible power system.
• What does the green-anodised finish do? — The anodised finish is an oxide layer created through an electrochemical process that hardens the aluminium surface, providing corrosion resistance, UV protection, and aesthetic appeal. This coating is particularly valuable for RC enthusiasts in the UK, where moisture and damp conditions can affect uncoated metal parts. The anodised finish keeps your mounts looking fresh and performing reliably through multiple bashing sessions and varied weather conditions.
• Do I need to apply threadlock myself? — No, all fasteners in this kit come with threadlock pre-applied, saving you time and ensuring proper threadlock application from the factory. This is a significant convenience feature that eliminates the need to purchase separate threadlock compound and reduces installation complexity, making these mounts suitable for both experienced tuners and relative newcomers to RC vehicle maintenance.
• Can I combine these mounts with other Traxxas accessories? — Absolutely. These motor mounts are designed to work seamlessly with other genuine Traxxas components. The manufacturer specifically recommends combining these mounts with the 10263-series aluminium motor mount caps for an even more robust and professional setup that delivers superior motor security and a finished appearance.
• Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX10262-GRN is a genuine Traxxas product manufactured by Traxxas, ensuring it meets the same quality standards and precision tolerances as your RC truck chassis itself. Genuine Traxxas accessories guarantee perfect factory fit and compatibility, providing peace of mind that doesn't come with generic or third-party alternatives.
