Overview
The Traxxas Washers, motor mount, aluminium (Orange-anodised) (4 pcs) / 4x18mm BCS (4 pcs) TRX7759-ORNG is a premium upgrade component designed for Traxxas X-Maxx and XRT high-performance RC monster trucks and 4WD vehicles. These specially engineered aluminium motor mount washers are the perfect accessory for any RC enthusiast looking to enhance both the structural integrity and visual appeal of their machine. Whether you're a serious weekend basher enjoying the best RC cars available on the UK market, a competitive racer pushing your brushless RC truck to its limits, or a dedicated hobbyist constantly tuning and upgrading your setup, these bright orange-anodised washers deliver noticeable performance benefits combined with eye-catching aesthetics.
Manufactured by Traxxas with the same precision and quality standards that have made them the world's leading RC brand, these motor mount washers add additional strength to the critical motor mounting points on your X-Maxx or XRT chassis. The orange-anodised finish not only provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes, but also matches perfectly with the factory colour schemes of many Traxxas models, giving your RC truck a cohesive, factory-tuned appearance. For anyone serious about maintaining and upgrading their ready-to-run RC vehicle, this is an essential component that combines practical engineering with genuine cosmetic upgrade potential.
When you're investing in a brushless RC monster truck like the X-Maxx or XRT VXL-8S, protecting and enhancing the motor mounting system is a logical next step. These washers are recommended for owners who regularly bash their trucks hard, use extreme 8S LiPo battery systems, or simply want to ensure their motor mounts stay in perfect condition for years of reliable performance. Available from RC Model Shop, these genuine Traxxas parts are backed by our reputation as an authorised UK retailer.
Key Features
- Premium Aluminium Construction — These washers are crafted from high-grade aluminium, which provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio while resisting flexing and deformation under the intense forces generated by powerful brushless motors and extreme driving conditions.
- Orange Anodised Finish — The bright orange anodised coating does far more than look attractive; it provides exceptional corrosion resistance, protects against oxidation, and ensures the washers maintain their appearance through countless bash sessions, rain, and outdoor use typical of UK RC enthusiasts.
- Factory-Matched Colour — The vibrant orange finish perfectly complements the orange variants of the X-Maxx and XRT ranges, creating a professionally assembled appearance that shows attention to detail in your RC setup.
- Enhanced Motor Mount Strength — By distributing load more evenly across the motor mounting points, these washers reduce stress concentration and help prevent cracking or failure of plastic motor mount brackets, especially crucial when running high-torque brushless motors with 8S battery systems.
- Pack of Four — Four washers are included, giving you a complete set for both front and rear motor mounts, or allowing you to replace worn components and keep spares.
- 4x18mm BCS Specifications — These washers are precision-engineered to the exact 4x18mm BCS (Ball Cup Stud) specification, ensuring perfect compatibility with X-Maxx and XRT motor mounting systems without requiring any modification or adapter components.
- Genuine Traxxas Component — As official Traxxas parts, these washers are engineered to the same exacting standards as the complete vehicle, ensuring perfect fit, finish and performance without compatibility issues.
- Easy Installation — No special tools or technical knowledge required; these washers slip onto existing mounting studs, making them an ideal weekend upgrade project for RC car UK owners of all experience levels.
- Cost-Effective Upgrade — Representing a modest investment in your RC vehicle's longevity and appearance, these washers offer genuine value for money and help protect far more expensive components like brushless motors and motor controllers.
Technical Performance
The motor mount system of any high-performance RC vehicle is critical to reliability and longevity, particularly in extreme 4WD brushless monsters like the X-Maxx and XRT that generate tremendous torque and power. Standard plastic or thin metal washers can concentrate load onto small contact areas, leading to fatigue failure over time, especially when powered by 8S LiPo battery systems driving brushless motors at their maximum potential. These premium aluminium washers from Traxxas are engineered to solve this problem by distributing forces across a wider surface area, reducing point loading and stress concentration at the motor mounting interface. The anodised aluminium material offers exceptional durability whilst remaining lightweight—a critical consideration in RC engineering where every gram affects handling and performance. The 4x18mm BCS specification ensures these washers work seamlessly with the X-Maxx, X-Maxx Ultimate, X-Maxx Belted and all XRT variants including the XRT VXL-8S and XRT Ultimate models across all colour options (Orange, Blue, Green, Black). The anodisation process creates a hard ceramic oxide layer that resists corrosion, chemical damage, and UV degradation, meaning these washers will maintain both their protective properties and their striking orange appearance through extensive use in all UK weather conditions. Whether you're running your truck in dusty environments, muddy fields, coastal locations, or standard backyard bashing, the anodised finish will not degrade or lose its colour the way painted or bare metal components would.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these washers fit my X-Maxx or XRT? — Yes, these washers are specifically engineered for all Traxxas X-Maxx and XRT variants, including the X-Maxx Belted, X-Maxx Ultimate, XRT VXL-8S and XRT Ultimate models across all factory colour options. The 4x18mm BCS specification matches the factory motor mounting system exactly, requiring no modifications or adapters.
- Are these washers just cosmetic or do they actually improve performance? — These washers provide genuine functional benefits beyond their attractive orange finish. By distributing load more evenly across motor mounting points, they reduce stress concentration and help prevent cracking or flexing of plastic motor mount brackets. This is particularly important when running the high-torque brushless motors and 8S LiPo battery systems that power modern Traxxas trucks, where extreme forces are generated during acceleration and hard cornering.
- What does anodised mean and why does it matter? — Anodisation is an electrochemical process that creates a hard protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This coating provides exceptional corrosion resistance, prevents oxidation and discolouration, and makes the washers far more durable than bare or painted alternatives. For RC vehicles used in the UK's variable weather conditions, anodised components maintain their appearance and protective properties far longer than untreated materials.
- Will the orange colour match my orange X-Maxx? — Yes, the bright orange anodised finish is specifically colour-matched to complement Traxxas's factory orange paint schemes. This creates a cohesive, professionally assembled appearance rather than the mismatched look of mixing different shade metals or colours.
- Do I need any tools to install these washers? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic hex key tools that you likely already have if you own a Traxxas truck. The washers slip onto the existing motor mount studs; no special tools, modification or technical expertise is required, making them ideal for weekend upgrades.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, these are official Traxxas components manufactured to the same exacting standards as the complete vehicles. The model number TRX7759-ORNG identifies them as genuine Traxxas parts, ensuring perfect compatibility and the same quality standards Traxxas is recognised for worldwide.
- Will these washers help if my motor mounts keep cracking? — If you've experienced repeated motor mount failures, these washers can help by reducing stress concentration at the mounting points. However, persistent cracking may indicate that you need to reduce driving intensity, upgrade to reinforced motor mounts, or check that your motor is properly aligned. These washers are preventative upgrades for normal use, not a solution for underlying structural problems.
