Overview
Upgrade your Traxxas X-Maxx or XRT with these premium aluminium motor mounts that combine exceptional strength with stunning style. The Traxxas Motor mounts in 6061-T6 aluminium with grey-anodised finish (front and rear set, model TRX7760-GRAY) are purpose-built to enhance both the performance and appearance of your high-performance RC truck. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast in the UK looking to build the ultimate machine or a weekend basher seeking reliability improvements, these motor mounts deliver the quality and durability that Traxxas is renowned for.
These genuine Traxxas accessories are engineered specifically for the X-Maxx Ultimate, X-Maxx, XRT Ultimate, and XRT models, ensuring perfect factory fit and finish every single time. By upgrading from standard plastic motor plates, you gain increased rigidity in the chassis drivetrain, improved heat dissipation for consistent performance during extended running sessions, and a professional appearance that reflects the quality of your build. The grey-anodised aluminium finish not only looks exceptional but also provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes, making these mounts ideal for use in all UK weather conditions.
If you're modifying a Traxxas X-Truck for brushless performance upgrades, these aluminium motor mounts are an essential component of any serious upgrade package. They work in tandem with other high-performance drivetrain components to increase overall chassis stiffness and improve cooling around the motor and ESC area—critical factors when running modern brushless systems with high current draw.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, the same material used in premium suspension components across the Traxxas range, delivering unbeatable toughness and lightweight performance that reduces overall vehicle mass whilst increasing rigidity.
- Grey-Anodised Finish — The brilliant anodised finish provides a professional appearance with superior corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation and wear during regular use and ensuring your motor mounts maintain their aesthetic appeal for years to come.
- Laser-Etched Logo — Each motor mount features a laser-etched Traxxas logo, adding a touch of authenticity and quality that distinguishes genuine Traxxas parts from aftermarket alternatives.
- Factory Fit and Finish — Genuine Traxxas accessories are engineered by Traxxas, for Traxxas vehicles, guaranteeing perfect fitment on your X-Maxx or XRT without modification or adjustment, saving you installation time and ensuring reliability.
- Increased Chassis Stiffness — Replacing plastic motor plates with these aluminium mounts significantly improves chassis rigidity in the drivetrain area, resulting in more responsive handling and better power transfer from motor to wheels.
- Superior Heat Dissipation — Aluminium conducts heat far more effectively than plastic, helping to keep your brushless motor and ESC cooler during sustained high-performance driving, which is essential when running demanding 8S LiPo systems typical of X-Maxx and XRT models.
- Front and Rear Set — This package includes both front and rear motor mounts, providing comprehensive drivetrain upgrades across your vehicle's entire powertrain system.
- Compatible with Multiple Models — These mounts fit X-Maxx Ultimate, X-Maxx, XRT Ultimate, and XRT vehicles, as well as several Funco Motorsports Pro Scale and Traxxas sand car models, providing excellent versatility across the X-Truck platform.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Motor mounts represent a critical upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts building performance-oriented X-Truck systems. Machined from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium—the same material specification used in premium Traxxas suspension components like caster blocks, steering blocks, and shock towers—these mounts deliver measurable improvements in chassis performance. The material is selected for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, providing significant rigidity increases without adding unnecessary mass to your vehicle. When you upgrade from the stock plastic motor plate to these aluminium versions, you're immediately improving the structural integrity of your drivetrain mounting system, which translates to more efficient power delivery, reduced flex during hard acceleration, and improved overall handling characteristics. The brilliant anodised grey finish isn't merely cosmetic; anodisation creates a hard oxide layer on the aluminium surface that dramatically improves durability and corrosion resistance, essential for UK RC drivers who may encounter wet conditions or use their vehicles in coastal areas. These mounts are specifically engineered for use with both brushed and brushless motors, making them equally suitable whether you're running the older Titan 550 brushed systems or upgrading to modern brushless powerplants like the Velineon system. The machined construction with strategically placed reliefs helps improve airflow and heat dissipation around the motor area, critical when pushing high-performance 8S LiPo-powered systems to their limits. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance knowledge, and the perfect factory fit means no drilling, tapping, or modification of any kind—simply bolt them in place of your existing components and enjoy immediate improvements in stiffness and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these motor mounts fit my Traxxas X-Maxx or XRT? — Yes, these genuine Traxxas motor mounts are specifically engineered for X-Maxx Ultimate, X-Maxx, XRT Ultimate, and XRT models, guaranteeing perfect factory fit and finish. They also fit several Funco Motorsports Pro Scale sand cars. Always verify your specific model number before purchase to ensure compatibility.
- What is the advantage of upgrading to aluminium motor mounts? — Aluminium motor mounts provide significantly improved chassis stiffness compared to stock plastic components, resulting in more responsive handling, better power transfer, and improved overall performance. Additionally, aluminium conducts heat far more efficiently than plastic, helping keep your brushless motor and ESC cooler during sustained high-performance driving—crucial when running powerful 8S LiPo systems typical of X-Maxx and XRT vehicles.
- Can I install these myself, or do I need professional help? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance knowledge and standard hex tools. Since these are genuine Traxxas components designed for your specific vehicle, they bolt directly in place of your existing motor mounts without modification. The included laser-etched finish adds professional quality without requiring any special installation techniques.
- Are these motor mounts suitable for beginners? — Whilst installation is accessible to RC enthusiasts of all skill levels, these mounts are best suited to owners looking to upgrade their existing vehicles. If you're new to RC, you may want to start with a ready-to-run model before considering performance modifications. That said, the installation process is straightforward enough that any RC hobbyist can accomplish it with basic tools.
- Will these mounts work with both brushed and brushless motors? — Yes, these motor mounts are compatible with both brushed motors (like the Titan 550) and modern brushless powerplants (like the Velineon system). They provide the same structural benefits and heat dissipation advantages regardless of your motor type, making them a versatile upgrade for any X-Truck powertrain.
- How do these compare to the blue or other coloured motor mounts? — These grey-anodised motor mounts are functionally identical to blue, orange, red, and green anodised versions—the difference is purely aesthetic. The grey finish complements many custom colour schemes and provides the same durability and performance benefits as any other anodised finish. Choose the colour that best matches your vehicle's overall design.
- What tools do I need to install these motor mounts? — Standard RC hex tools (included with most Traxxas vehicles or available in the Traxxas 8712 tool kit) are all you need for installation. No specialised equipment or advanced mechanical knowledge is required—these components bolt directly onto your existing drivetrain system.
