Technical Performance
The Traxxas Motor mount TRX6860A represents the pinnacle of Traxxas's engineering philosophy for chassis spares. Manufactured from robust materials and precision-machined to tolerances that meet Traxxas's exacting standards, this motor mount delivers the durability and reliability expected from genuine OEM components. The 3.0mm needle bearing design is critical to performance—needle bearings minimise friction compared to standard bushings, which translates directly into improved motor efficiency, extended battery runtime, and smoother power delivery across the entire RPM range of modern brushless motors used in 1/10 4WD short course trucks like the Slash VXL and Stampede 4X4 HD. The pre-assembled configuration with the included 3x6mm flat-head machine screw means installation is straightforward, requiring only basic tools and a few minutes of your time. The telemetry-ready integration opens up a world of real-time performance monitoring, allowing you to track motor RPM, motor temperature, and vehicle speed directly from your Traxxas transmitter—data that competitors and serious hobbyists use to analyse performance across multiple runs and fine-tune their setup for maximum consistency.
