Key Features
- Milled from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium — These motor mounts are precision-machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, one of the strongest and most reliable aluminium formulations available for RC components. This material choice ensures exceptional rigidity and durability, providing your motor mounting points with rock-solid stability even during extreme acceleration, hard cornering, and aggressive landing impacts that would damage plastic equivalents.
- Brilliant anodised finish — The mounts feature a high-quality red anodised coating that not only delivers stunning visual appeal but also provides genuine protective benefits. The anodised layer creates a hard, corrosion-resistant surface that guards against moisture, salt spray, and general wear, keeping your RC car looking pristine whilst maintaining structural integrity in all weather conditions.
- Laser-etched Traxxas logo — Each mount features a precision laser-etched Traxxas logo, adding authenticity and premium presentation. This detail demonstrates the care taken in manufacturing and helps you instantly identify genuine Traxxas components, distinguishing them from counterfeit or third-party alternatives.
- Premium quality construction with factory fit and finish — Every aspect of these mounts is engineered to match original equipment specification, with tolerances so precise that they integrate with your X-Maxx or XRT as if they were factory components. The fit is so perfect that you'll notice the professional quality immediately upon installation.
- Front and rear mounting pairs included — This package contains motor mounts for both front and rear motor positions, meaning you get complete drivetrain support coverage. Whether you're running a front-heavy setup or need balanced motor mounting across your chassis, you have all components needed for a full upgrade.
- Genuine Traxxas manufacture — These are made by Traxxas for Traxxas vehicles, not generic aftermarket parts sourced from third-party suppliers. This pedigree guarantees perfect compatibility and ensures you're investing in quality that Traxxas themselves stand behind with their reputation.
Technical Performance
The 6061-T6 aluminium specification is crucial to understanding why these motor mounts outperform plastic alternatives in demanding RC applications. 6061-T6 is a heat-treated aluminium alloy that combines excellent machinability with outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, making it the material of choice for high-stress components in everything from aerospace engineering to professional RC racing platforms. When milled to precision tolerances and anodised with a hard-coat finish, these mounts provide superior rigidity compared to injection-moulded plastic, which can flex under high motor torque and impact forces. For X-Maxx and XRT owners pushing 8S LiPo performance, this rigidity directly translates to better power transfer, more predictable handling characteristics, and reduced wear on critical drivetrain components. The anodised coating adds genuine engineering value—not merely cosmetic appeal—by creating a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, sweat, and harsh driving environments. The precision laser etching indicates manufacturing quality that meets exacting standards. These mounts are designed to handle the extreme forces generated by brushless motors in competition-grade RC vehicles, ensuring your investment in premium Traxxas hardware is protected and maximised.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these aluminium motor mounts fit my Traxxas X-Maxx or XRT? — Yes, these mounts are specifically engineered for Traxxas X-Maxx and XRT models, including both standard and Ultimate variants. The included front and rear mounts provide complete motor mounting coverage, and the precision manufacturing ensures factory-perfect fit with zero modification required. Simply remove your stock plastic mounts and install these aluminium upgrades using the included pins.
- Why should I upgrade from plastic to aluminium motor mounts? — Plastic motor mounts can flex and wear under the intense torque generated by brushless motors, particularly in 8S LiPo setups common to high-performance X-Maxx and XRT builds. Upgrading to 6061-T6 aluminium provides rigid support that eliminates flex, maintains precise motor alignment, reduces drivetrain stress, improves power transfer efficiency, and extends the lifespan of your motor and transmission components. Many UK RC enthusiasts report smoother handling and more consistent performance after upgrading to aluminium mounts.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, absolutely. These motor mounts are manufactured by Traxxas specifically for Traxxas vehicles. Genuine Traxxas accessories are made to exacting standards and guarantee perfect factory fit, ensuring compatibility and reliability. When you buy genuine parts from authorised Traxxas retailers, you're investing in quality that carries the full backing of Traxxas engineering.
- Will the red anodised finish match my chassis? — The red anodised finish is a vibrant, premium colour that complements most Traxxas X-Maxx and XRT paint schemes. If you're concerned about colour matching with specific body colours, check the colour scheme of your particular model. The anodised finish is also available in other colours, so you can choose options that best suit your aesthetic preferences.
- What's the difference between anodised and painted finishes? — Anodised finishes are fundamentally superior for RC applications. The anodising process creates a hard oxide layer that becomes part of the aluminium itself, rather than sitting on top like paint. This makes anodised components significantly more durable against corrosion, impact damage, and general wear. Anodised finishes also won't chip or peel like paint can, making them ideal for the rough and tumble world of RC bashing and racing.
- What pins are included? — The package includes four mounting pins required to secure both the front and rear motor mounts to your chassis. These pins are matched to OEM specification and compatible with standard Traxxas fastening systems.
- Are these suitable for both competitive racing and casual bashing? — Absolutely. Whether you're competing in organised RC racing events or enjoying weekend bashing sessions, these motor mounts provide the durability and reliability you need. The premium 6061-T6 construction means they'll withstand high-impact crashes, hard landings, and aggressive driving styles whilst maintaining their performance characteristics.
