Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These motor mounts are milled from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, one of the most trusted materials in precision RC engineering. This aerospace-grade material provides unbeatable toughness and rigidity, ensuring that your motor mount can handle the extreme forces generated by high-power brushless motors without flexing or warping, which is critical for maintaining optimal power transfer and motor alignment.
- Precision Machining — Each mount is precision-machined from solid alloy, not cast or stamped, meaning tight tolerances and perfect dimensional accuracy. This level of manufacturing precision ensures that the mounts fit perfectly in your truck's chassis without gaps or misalignment, maintaining the factory-perfect geometry of your suspension and drivetrain.
- Brilliant Anodised Finish — The stunning blue anodised finish is not merely decorative; anodising is an electrochemical process that creates a hard, corrosion-resistant oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This protective coating means your mounts will resist the wear and weathering from outdoor use, mud, water, and UV exposure, while maintaining that brilliant colour for years. The machined highlights add an extra touch of premium quality and visual appeal.
- Laser-Etched Logo — The Traxxas logo is laser-etched into each mount, adding a professional touch and proving authenticity. This ensures you're getting genuine Traxxas products made to factory specifications, not aftermarket imitations that might not fit or perform as expected.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — This package includes both front and rear motor mounts, so you have a complete motor mount solution for your vehicle. This is far more convenient and cost-effective than purchasing them separately, and ensures both mounts are identical in quality and finish.
- Factory Fit and Finish — As genuine Traxxas accessories made by Traxxas for Traxxas vehicles, these mounts guarantee perfect factory fit. You won't need to modify your chassis or motor, and installation takes just minutes with standard RC tools. This compatibility guarantee is invaluable when upgrading your truck.
- High-Power Brushless Ready — These mounts are specifically engineered for high-power brushless applications, meaning they can withstand the extreme torque and vibration generated by modern brushless motors. If you're running a high-KV motor or pushing significant amperage through your ESC, these mounts will keep everything locked in place and perfectly aligned.
Technical Performance
The engineering behind these Traxxas motor mounts reflects decades of off-road RC experience. 6061-T6 aluminium is the material of choice for precision-machined RC components because it offers the perfect balance of strength, rigidity, and weight. This specific alloy is used in aerospace applications and high-end automotive parts, so you know the material has been proven in demanding conditions. The precision machining from solid stock—rather than casting—ensures that every mount is dimensionally identical, with no porosity or weak points that could develop under load. When you're running a brushless motor pumping out hundreds of watts of power, you need motor mounts that won't flex, warp, or lose alignment. Flexing motor mounts cause binding in the drivetrain, increased friction, battery drain, and can even damage bearings and gears. These aluminium mounts are rigid enough to keep your motor perfectly centred and aligned regardless of the forces being applied. The anodising process creates a hard ceramic-like surface that protects against corrosion—essential if you're running your RC truck in wet conditions, muddy terrain, or salty environments. The brilliant blue colour won't fade, chip, or peel like paint might, and the finish will continue to look new even after months of use. The machined highlights add visual interest while also indicating the precision manufacturing process. Whether you're bashing hard in your local RC park, competing in time trials, or enjoying casual driving with friends, these motor mounts will provide the performance foundation your truck needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas vehicles are these motor mounts compatible with? — These motor mounts are designed to fit the X-Maxx Ultimate, X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR, XRT Ultimate, XRT VXL-8S, and the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S electric sand car models. If you own any of these vehicles, these mounts will provide a perfect factory fit without any modifications required.
- Why should I upgrade my motor mounts to aluminium? — Upgrading to aluminium motor mounts offers significant performance and durability benefits compared to plastic mounts. Aluminium is much more rigid, meaning your motor stays in perfect alignment under high-power brushless loads, improving efficiency and reducing mechanical noise. Aluminium also dissipates heat better than plastic, which is beneficial when running demanding brushless systems. Additionally, the corrosion resistance of anodised aluminium means these mounts will last through countless bashing sessions in mud, water, and varied terrain without deteriorating like plastic might.
- What is the advantage of precision machining over casting? — Precision machining from solid 6061-T6 stock creates components with consistent density, zero porosity, and exact dimensional tolerances. Casting, by comparison, can trap air bubbles and have variations in material density, potentially creating weak points. The machining process also allows for tighter tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment in your truck's chassis and optimal motor alignment.
- Are these mounts suitable for high-power brushless motors? — Yes, absolutely. These motor mounts are specifically engineered for high-power brushless applications, which means they're designed to handle the extreme torque, vibration, and forces generated by brushless motors running on 8S LiPo batteries and high-current ESCs. The 6061-T6 aluminium's superior rigidity ensures your motor stays perfectly aligned under these demanding conditions.
- Will these mounts rust or corrode over time? — No. The brilliant anodised finish creates a hard, protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from water, mud, salt, and UV exposure. Unlike painted finishes that can chip and peel, the anodising process integrates the protective layer into the aluminium itself, meaning it will last the lifetime of your truck without fading, peeling, or corroding.
- Are these OEM Traxxas parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine Traxxas parts, made by Traxxas for Traxxas vehicles. Traxxas manufactures all their own premium accessories to guarantee perfect factory fit, finish, and quality control. You're not buying a third-party interpretation of what Traxxas parts should be—you're getting the exact components Traxxas engineers designed for your truck.
- How difficult is installation? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic RC tools. Simply unbolt your existing motor mounts and replace them with these aluminium versions. The factory fitment means no chassis modifications or adjustments are needed. The entire process typically takes just a few minutes per truck, making this one of the easiest and most effective upgrades you can make.
- What makes the blue anodised finish special? — The blue anodised finish is created through an electrochemical process that produces a hard ceramic-like surface layer. This is far more durable than paint and provides excellent corrosion resistance. The machined highlights add visual contrast and demonstrate the precision manufacturing process. The colour will remain brilliant for years of use, resisting fade and UV damage that would affect painted finishes.
