• Optimised for #3483 Motor — These mounts are specifically engineered to work with the Traxxas #3483 motor, ensuring optimal motor alignment, heat dissipation and performance characteristics for your brushless RC car.
• Front and Rear Configuration — The package provides both front and rear motor mount solutions, allowing you to upgrade the entire motor support system on your truck for maximum rigidity and improved handling characteristics across the entire chassis.
• Compatible with Velineon VXL-6s System — These mounts are designed for Maxx trucks equipped with the optional Velineon VXL-6s power system, ensuring complete compatibility with modern Traxxas brushless setups popular throughout the UK RC hobby community.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas motor mounts represent professional-grade engineering designed specifically for the demands of modern RC short course racing and high-performance bashing. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction has been carefully selected for its optimal strength-to-weight ratio, providing the structural rigidity needed to maintain precise motor alignment during high-speed runs whilst minimising overall weight that could affect your truck's performance. The anodised finish goes beyond aesthetics—it creates a hard, protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, dirt, and the harsh conditions encountered during outdoor RC hobby sessions. The inclusion of threadlock on all fastening hardware (4x 3x10mm CCS and 2x 4x12mm BCS) demonstrates Traxxas's attention to detail, as these components prevent vibration-induced loosening that could compromise motor alignment and performance in your brushless RC truck. These mounts are engineered to work seamlessly with the #3483 motor and are optimised for Maxx Slash 1/8 scale platforms running the Velineon VXL-6s brushless power system, delivering the precision fit and performance characteristics that serious RC enthusiasts expect from genuine Traxxas spares and tune-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these motor mounts compatible with all Traxxas Maxx Slash models? — These mounts are specifically designed for Maxx Slash trucks equipped with the optional Velineon VXL-6s brushless power system. They are engineered to work with the #3483 motor and are compatible with all colour variants of the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck, including the Red, Blue, Green, and Rock N Roll versions.
• Why would I upgrade to aluminium motor mounts? — Upgrading to these aluminium motor mounts provides several key benefits over stock plastic components: improved structural rigidity that maintains precise motor alignment during high-speed runs, enhanced durability for serious bashers and racers, better heat dissipation from the motor assembly, and a professional appearance that complements modern RC truck aesthetics. If you're looking to improve the performance and longevity of your ready to run RC short course truck, these mounts represent a worthwhile investment.
• What is the difference between CCS and BCS fasteners included? — The package includes two types of fasteners optimised for different mounting requirements: 3x10mm CCS (Cap Head Screws) are used where more surface contact area is needed for secure fastening, while 4x12mm BCS (Button Cap Screws) feature a lower profile design for areas where clearance is critical. All fasteners include threadlock to prevent vibration-induced loosening during driving.
• Can I use these mounts with a different motor? — These mounts are specifically engineered for the Traxxas #3483 motor, and whilst they may physically fit other motors, optimal performance, alignment, and heat dissipation characteristics are only guaranteed with the #3483. For compatibility with other motor types, consult Traxxas specifications or contact RC Model Shop for expert advice.
• Will these fit my Maxx or Slash if it doesn't have the Velineon VXL-6s system? — These mounts are designed specifically for Maxx trucks with the optional Velineon VXL-6s brushless power system installed. If your vehicle uses a different power system configuration, these mounts may not provide optimal fit or performance. Check your truck's specifications to confirm compatibility before ordering.
• What tools do I need to install these motor mounts? — Installation requires basic RC hobby tools including appropriate hex keys or Allen wrenches for the fasteners, and potentially a small screwdriver depending on your truck's assembly. The threadlock is pre-applied to all fasteners, so you'll simply need to install them according to Traxxas specifications. No thread-cutting or additional threadlock application is necessary.
