Overview
Keep your Traxxas TRX-4M trail truck running cool during extended crawling and climbing sessions with the Traxxas Heat Sink for the Titan 87T motor. Whether you're pushing your Ford Bronco or Land Rover Defender through challenging terrain, motor temperature management is essential for maintaining performance and extending motor lifespan. This premium aluminium heat sink is engineered specifically for the Titan 87-turn motor found in TRX-4M models, offering both functional cooling capability and stylish anodised aesthetics that complement your RC truck's custom build.
Built from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium and featuring vibrant orange-anodised finish, this heat sink integrates seamlessly with Traxxas's expanding line of anodised accessories for the 1/18 scale TRX-4M platform. Whether you're building a show-stopping custom rig or upgrading an existing trail truck for marathon crawling sessions, this cooling component is an essential accessory for serious RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliability and performance from their brushless motor systems.
The Titan 87T motor heat sink represents Traxxas's commitment to supporting trail and crawler enthusiasts with genuine, purpose-engineered components. By reducing motor operating temperatures during sustained use, the heat sink helps maintain consistent motor performance, prevents thermal throttling, and contributes to longer overall motor life—making it a worthwhile investment for anyone running the TRX-4M Bronco, TRX-4M Defender, TRX-4M K10, TRX-4M F-150, or TRX-4MT models with factory Titan motors.
Key Features
- Premium 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, this heat sink delivers superior thermal conductivity and durability compared to plastic alternatives, efficiently drawing heat away from the motor housing during extended trail sessions and aggressive crawling.
- Orange-Anodised Finish — The vibrant orange-anodised coating provides both corrosion resistance and visual appeal, coordinating perfectly with custom builds featuring other anodised Traxxas components available in matching colours including blue, red, green, and titanium finishes.
- Precise Titan 87T Compatibility — Engineered specifically for the Titan 87-turn brushless motor, ensuring perfect fitment and maximum thermal contact with the motor can without modifications, making installation straightforward for owners of TRX-4M trail trucks across all body styles.
- Enhanced Thermal Performance — The optimised heatsink design increases surface area for improved heat dissipation, allowing the motor to maintain cooler operating temperatures during demanding terrain navigation, high-torque climbing, and extended crawling adventures.
- Lightweight Accessory — Unlike some aftermarket cooling solutions, this aluminium heat sink adds minimal weight to your trail truck while maximising cooling efficiency, helping maintain optimal power delivery without compromising the TRX-4M's impressive low centre of gravity.
- Part of Complete Drivetrain Upgrade Path — Pairs perfectly with other TRX-4M drivetrain enhancements including the low-range crawl transmission, hardened steel axle shafts, and metal axle gears to create a bomb-proof, marathon-capable trail machine.
Technical Performance
This Traxxas heat sink exemplifies the engineering precision expected from Traxxas's factory-engineered components for the TRX-4M platform. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminium—a material selected for its exceptional thermal conductivity, strength-to-weight ratio, and corrosion resistance—the heat sink features an anodised surface treatment that provides durable protection against outdoor elements whilst maintaining the premium aesthetic demanded by serious trail enthusiasts. The orange-anodised finish integrates seamlessly with Traxxas's complete range of colour-matched aluminium accessories, allowing builders to create fully coordinated custom rigs with suspension components, servo mounts, steering links, shock bodies, and centre driveshafts all available in matching orange alongside alternative finishes. The heat sink is specifically engineered for the Titan 87-turn brushless motor, the factory-standard motor in most TRX-4M configurations, and does not fit motors installed on the optional 2-speed transmission variant. Traxxas's design philosophy emphasises functional performance combined with visual customisation, and this component delivers on both fronts, offering measurable thermal benefits that extend motor operational lifespan during the extended crawling sessions and high-torque climbing manoeuvres characteristic of modern trail and scale crawling. The aluminium construction provides superior heat dissipation compared to stock plastic motor cans, particularly important during sustained low-speed, high-torque operation where motor temperatures can climb significantly—exactly the driving profile of TRX-4M trail trucks tackling rocks, logs, and technical terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this heat sink fit my TRX-4M trail truck? — Yes, this heat sink is engineered for the Titan 87-turn motor and is compatible with all TRX-4M models including the Ford Bronco (all colours), Land Rover Defender, Ford F-150, Chevrolet K10, and TRX-4MT Monster Truck variants. However, it does not fit motors installed on the optional 2-speed transmission, so verify your motor configuration before ordering.
- Does the orange colour match other TRX-4M accessories? — Absolutely. Traxxas manufactures a complete range of 6061-T6 aluminium components in orange-anodised finish specifically for the TRX-4M platform, including servo mounts, steering links, suspension link sets, shock bodies, and centre driveshafts. You can create a fully colour-coordinated build with matching orange components throughout your suspension and drivetrain.
- How much does this improve cooling? — The aluminium heat sink significantly increases surface area for heat dissipation compared to the stock plastic motor can, resulting in lower motor operating temperatures during extended crawling and climbing sessions. This is particularly valuable during marathon trail days or technical terrain where sustained high-torque operation generates considerable motor heat, helping maintain consistent performance and extending motor lifespan.
- Is this heat sink easy to install? — Yes. The heat sink is purpose-engineered for direct installation on the Titan 87T motor found in TRX-4M trucks, requiring no modifications to your existing setup. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience.
- What's the difference between this orange heat sink and heat sinks in other colours? — Functionally, Traxxas heat sinks for the Titan 87T motor across all anodised colour finishes (orange, blue, red, green, titanium) deliver identical thermal performance. The difference is purely aesthetic—choose the colour that coordinates with your custom build's overall colour scheme and accessory selections.
- Can I use this on other Traxxas motors? — No. This heat sink is specifically engineered for the Titan 87-turn motor found in TRX-4M models. It is not compatible with other motor sizes or Traxxas vehicles in different scales.
