TRX10262-ORNG

Overview

Elevate your Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 scale RC short course truck with these premium Traxxas motor mounts, engineered to deliver both exceptional strength and stunning visual appeal. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or RC enthusiast looking to upgrade your brushless RC car in the UK, these orange-anodised aluminium motor mounts offer the perfect combination of durability and style. The motor mounts are specifically designed for use with the #3483 motor, making them an essential upgrade for anyone running the optional Velineon VXL-6S power system on their Maxx Slash.

These motor mounts represent genuine Traxxas engineering at its finest. Each component is manufactured by Traxxas, for Traxxas, guaranteeing a perfect factory fit every time you install them on your RC short course truck. The brilliant anodised orange finish not only protects the aluminium from corrosion and wear but also adds a striking visual enhancement to your model. Whether you're upgrading an existing Maxx Slash or building a competition-ready short course truck, these mounts deliver the strength and reliability that serious RC enthusiasts demand.

By combining these motor mounts with the 10263-series aluminium motor mount cap, you create a winning motor cradle system that maximises durability whilst maintaining the lightweight construction essential for high-performance RC racing. Built from tough 6061-T6 aluminium, these mounts are machined to precision tolerances and finished with a brilliant anodised coating that resists wear and looks fantastic on any colour Maxx Slash variant.

Key Features

Technical Performance

These Traxxas motor mounts represent precision engineering at its finest, crafted from 6061-T6 aluminium for unbeatable toughness and reliability. The 6061-T6 alloy is one of the most versatile and widely-used aluminium alloys in the RC industry, offering excellent machinability, strength, and corrosion resistance—essential properties for components that experience constant vibration, thermal cycling, and impact loads during RC racing and bashing. The orange anodised finish is applied to a thickness that provides both aesthetic appeal and functional corrosion protection, ensuring your motor mounts maintain their appearance and structural integrity season after season. The mounts are designed specifically for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD brushless short course trucks (compatible with Rock N Roll, Blue, Red, and Green variants) when equipped with the optional Velineon VXL-6S power system. The engineering focuses on maintaining precise motor geometry—critical for proper mesh with the spur gear, consistent power delivery, and minimising vibration transmission to the chassis. Each mount incorporates mounting points that align perfectly with the Maxx Slash chassis, eliminating guesswork and ensuring bolt-hole alignment on first installation. The included hardware—four 3x10mm socket cap screws with threadlock and two 4x12mm button cap screws with threadlock—is precision-manufactured to Traxxas specifications and features integrated threadlock compound that prevents vibration loosening during high-speed running. This is particularly important in brushless RC vehicles where motor vibration can be higher than brushed alternatives, making secure fastening essential for maintaining performance and preventing catastrophic motor mount failure during competition or intense bashing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these motor mounts suitable for both racing and bashing with my Traxxas Maxx Slash? — Yes, these genuine Traxxas motor mounts are engineered to handle both competitive racing and aggressive bashing. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction provides exceptional durability under sustained stress, whether you're pushing lap times at the track or jumping and crashing at your local bash spot. The precision engineering ensures consistent motor alignment for both applications.
• Will these motor mounts fit my Traxxas Maxx Slash regardless of colour? — These motor mounts are compatible with all Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD brushless short course truck variants, including the Rock N Roll, Blue, Red, and Green colour options. The fitment is determined by the vehicle model and motor specification, not the body colour, so you can use these mounts on any Maxx Slash variant equipped with the optional Velineon VXL-6S power system.
• What is the #3483 motor and do I need it to use these mounts? — The #3483 motor is the optional Velineon VXL-6S brushless motor designed for Traxxas Maxx Slash vehicles. These motor mounts are specifically engineered for use with this motor. If your Maxx Slash is equipped with the optional Velineon VXL-6S power system using the #3483 motor, these mounts will provide the correct alignment and fitment.
• Can I upgrade just the front or rear, or do I need to replace both? — This set includes both front and rear motor mounts, and we recommend upgrading both simultaneously to ensure consistent motor mounting geometry throughout your truck. This approach provides the best performance and reliability, but technically you could upgrade individually if desired.
• Do these mounts include fasteners and threadlock? — Yes, this set includes complete hardware: four 3x10mm socket cap screws with threadlock for secure mounting. The threadlock compound is pre-applied to prevent vibration loosening during aggressive driving, ensuring your motor stays perfectly positioned even during intense racing or bashing sessions.
• What makes orange-anodised aluminium better than other finishes? — The anodising process creates a hard oxide layer on the aluminium surface that provides superior corrosion resistance compared to raw aluminium, preventing oxidation and discolouration from salt water exposure, moisture, and UV light. The anodised finish also protects the underlying metal from scratches and wear, and the orange colour provides visual style whilst being a protective coating rather than just paint.
• Can I use these with the 10263-series motor mount cap? — Yes, these motor mounts are specifically designed to integrate with the 10263-series aluminium motor mount cap. Combining them creates a complete high-strength motor cradle system that provides maximum durability for competitive racing or intense bashing sessions.
• Are these official Traxxas parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine Traxxas parts manufactured by Traxxas. Every Traxxas accessory is made by Traxxas, for Traxxas, to guarantee perfect factory fit and compatibility every time. This ensures they align perfectly with your Maxx Slash without requiring modification or adjustment.
