Overview
Keep your Titan 87T motor running at optimal temperatures with the Traxxas Heat Sink, a precision-engineered cooling solution designed specifically for the TRX-4M trail truck platform. Whether you're piloting a Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, Chevrolet K10, or Ford F-150 in 1/18 scale, extended running sessions demand effective thermal management to maintain consistent performance and motor longevity. This heat sink represents a smart upgrade for any UK RC enthusiast looking to push their TRX-4M harder and longer without thermal throttling or premature motor wear.
Manufactured from premium 6061-T6 aluminium and finished in an eye-catching green anodised coating, this accessory delivers both functional cooling performance and aesthetic appeal. The anodised finish not only provides excellent corrosion resistance—essential for UK's varied weather conditions—but also matches beautifully with other anodised aluminium upgrades available for the TRX-4M platform. This is a genuine Traxxas accessory, engineered to exacting standards and fully compatible with the entire TRX-4M trail truck range, making it an essential addition for serious trail crawlers and weekend bashers alike.
For anyone serious about maximising their TRX-4M's capabilities, particularly when running extended crawling sessions or tackling challenging terrain, thermal management becomes increasingly important. The Traxxas heat sink directly addresses this need, drawing heat away from the motor windings and dissipating it through the large aluminium surface area. Combined with other performance upgrades available in the TRX-4M accessory range, this heat sink helps create a more durable, capable, and reliable RC trail truck ready for any adventure.
Key Features
- Premium 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, this heat sink delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio whilst providing superior thermal conductivity for effective motor cooling during extended running sessions.
- Green Anodised Finish — The vibrant green anodised coating provides excellent corrosion and wear resistance whilst delivering a striking visual appearance that complements other anodised aluminium TRX-4M upgrades in matching colours, creating a cohesive custom aesthetic.
- Direct Titan 87T Compatibility — Engineered specifically for the Titan 87-turn motor supplied in TRX-4M low-range and high-speed transmission options, this heat sink integrates perfectly without modification or fitment issues.
- Enhanced Thermal Performance — The extended surface area of the aluminium fins dramatically increases heat dissipation capabilities, allowing your motor to maintain cooler running temperatures during marathon trail sessions and challenging terrain work.
- Reduces Motor Temperature Rise — By drawing heat away from the motor windings, this cooling solution helps prevent thermal throttling and extends motor lifespan, ensuring consistent performance throughout extended running periods.
- Easy Installation — Like all genuine Traxxas accessories, this heat sink installs quickly and easily using standard tools, with no modifications required to your existing TRX-4M setup.
- Traxxas Quality Assurance — As an official Traxxas accessory, this heat sink meets the company's exacting engineering and quality standards, ensuring reliability and performance that matches the rest of your trail truck.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Heat Sink for the Titan 87T motor represents intelligent engineering focused on thermal management for serious RC trail truck enthusiasts. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium—the same premium material specification used throughout Traxxas's high-durability suspension and steering components—this heat sink delivers measurable cooling benefits during extended running sessions. The anodised finish provides a hardened surface resistant to corrosion and mechanical wear, critical for UK users operating in wet and variable weather conditions. The Titan 87-turn motor, commonly supplied in TRX-4M transmission options including the low-range crawling transmission (40.3:1 ratio) and speed transmission (9.7:1 ratio), generates significant heat during demanding terrain work and extended run times. The heat sink's extended surface area acts as a thermal radiator, drawing heat away from the motor case and dissipating it through convection into the surrounding air. This becomes particularly important when your TRX-4M is outfitted with heavy brass upgrades—such as brass wheel weights (62 grams per pair versus the stock 7 grams), brass caster blocks, steering blocks, wheel hubs, and axle covers—as the increased weight demands greater motor torque and consequently generates more thermal energy. The green anodised finish, available alongside red, orange, and titanium colour options, matches seamlessly with other anodised aluminium TRX-4M components including shocks, suspension links, driveshafts, and steering links. This cooling solution is NOT compatible with motors installed on the optional 2-speed transmission and is specifically designed for the standard Titan 87T motor configuration found in the 1/18 Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, Chevrolet K10, and Ford F-150 variants of the TRX-4M platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this heat sink fit my TRX-4M trail truck? — Yes, this heat sink is designed for all TRX-4M variants including the Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, Chevrolet K10, and Ford F-150 models, provided your truck uses the standard Titan 87-turn motor. It is NOT compatible with motors installed on the optional 2-speed transmission, so please verify your motor configuration before purchase.
- What temperature improvements can I expect with this cooling solution? — Whilst specific temperature reduction figures are not provided in the manufacturer specifications, the extended aluminium surface area significantly increases heat dissipation compared to unmodified motor cases, allowing for cooler running temperatures during extended crawling and trail sessions, particularly when running heavy brass upgrade packages.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part? — Yes, this is an official Traxxas accessory manufactured to the company's exacting standards. The part number TRX9793-GRN appears in official Traxxas build documentation and is stocked by authorised retailers across the UK.
- How does this compare to heatsinks in other colours? — Functionally, all colour variants of the Titan 87T heat sink deliver identical thermal performance. The choice between green, blue, red, orange, and titanium is purely aesthetic, allowing you to match your preferred colour scheme with other anodised aluminium TRX-4M upgrades.
- Will adding a heat sink affect my truck's handling or weight distribution? — The aluminium heat sink adds minimal weight compared to the performance benefits it provides, particularly for heavy trail trucks carrying brass upgrades. Any slight weight increase at the motor location can actually improve front-end climbing grip, similar to the benefit provided by the optional aluminium servo mount upgrade.
- Can I use this heat sink on other Traxxas motors? — This heat sink is specifically engineered for the Titan 87-turn motor and compatible TRX-4M variants. It is not suitable for other motor types or scales without verification of mechanical fitment.
- Is installation difficult? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic RC tools. Like all Traxxas accessories, it integrates seamlessly into your existing setup without modifications to the chassis, suspension, or other components.
