Motor mounts are critical suspension components that secure your vehicle's motor whilst allowing precise alignment and adjustment. A quality aluminium motor mount like this one ensures that your motor stays perfectly positioned during aggressive driving, reducing vibration and maintaining optimal power delivery to the drivetrain. This Fastrax aluminium upgrade replaces the standard plastic mount, providing superior rigidity and resistance to the stresses of high-performance RC driving. If you've already invested in a brushed or brushless motor upgrade for your ARRMA truck, this aluminium mount is the perfect complementary part to maximise your vehicle's potential and ensure your motor investment pays dividends in both reliability and performance.
Available at RC Model Shop, a trusted UK RC retailer specialising in ARRMA models and authorised Fastrax stockist, this motor mount represents an affordable yet effective upgrade for any ARRMA 1/18 owner. Whether you're upgrading a standard RTR model or building a custom setup, this part is an essential addition to your RC spares collection. The compact design and lightweight aluminium construction mean you'll gain strength without adding unnecessary weight to your truck, helping maintain the responsive handling that makes ARRMA vehicles so popular in the UK RC community.
Key Features

- Universal ARRMA Compatibility — Designed to fit the ARRMA 1/18 Granite Grom with Mega 380 brushed motor, this mount is compatible with multiple ARRMA platforms (Grom, Granite, and Mojave variants), making it a versatile upgrade for multiple vehicles in your fleet.
- Precision Engineering — Fastrax's commitment to quality means this mount is manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect motor alignment and eliminating the vibration and slop that can occur with worn or inferior mounts.

- Easy Installation — Designed as a direct replacement for standard ARRMA motor mounts, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical knowledge, requiring only standard RC tools and hex wrenches.

Technical Performance
The Fastrax ARRMA motor mount represents a significant material upgrade that directly impacts your vehicle's performance and longevity. Aluminium's superior rigidity compared to plastic ensures that motor alignment remains consistent throughout your driving session, which is particularly important when running upgraded brushed or brushless motors on your 1/18 ARRMA platform. The engineering and build quality of Fastrax components is recognised throughout the UK RC car community as reliable and trustworthy, with many competitive and recreational drivers choosing Fastrax upgrades as their parts of choice. The lightweight nature of aluminium means you're gaining strength without the weight penalty that heavier metal alternatives would impose. This is especially important on 1/18 scale vehicles where every gram counts towards maintaining the precise handling balance that ARRMA vehicles are known for. Whether your ARRMA Grom, Granite, or Mojave is equipped with a standard Mega 380 brushed motor or has been upgraded to a brushless setup, this mount will provide the stable, vibration-free platform your motor needs to deliver consistent power to the drivetrain. The corrosion-resistant properties of quality aluminium also mean this part will maintain its appearance and function even when exposed to wet grass, moisture, and the general wear and tear of regular RC driving in the UK climate.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax aluminium motor mount compatible with my ARRMA Grom/Granite/Mojave? — Yes, this Fastrax FTAR067 motor mount is specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/18 Granite Grom platform with Mega 380 brushed motor configuration. It is compatible with the ARRMA 1/18 GRANITE GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4X4 Monster Truck RTR in all colour variants (Red, Blue/Red, and Green), making it an ideal upgrade for any of these models.
- Why should I upgrade to an aluminium motor mount instead of using the standard plastic mount? — Aluminium offers superior rigidity and strength compared to plastic, meaning it resists flexing and maintains perfect motor alignment even during hard driving, rough landings, and aggressive cornering. This results in better motor cooling, reduced vibration, improved drivetrain engagement, and ultimately longer component lifespan. For anyone serious about getting the best performance from their ARRMA RC truck UK model, this upgrade is a worthwhile investment.
- Will this motor mount fit if I've upgraded to a brushless motor? — The motor mount is designed for the standard ARRMA 1/18 motor configuration. If you've upgraded to a different motor with different mounting dimensions, compatibility may vary. We recommend checking the mounting pattern of your specific motor against the original Mega 380 specifications before purchasing.
- How difficult is it to install this motor mount? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical skills. You'll need to remove your old motor mount and install the new aluminium one using standard RC hex wrenches and tools. The process typically takes 15-20 minutes. If you're new to RC mechanical work, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance or installation support.
- What tools do I need to install this motor mount? — You'll need a standard set of hex wrenches (socket set) in the sizes compatible with ARRMA mounting hardware. Most ARRMA vehicles use metric hex bolts, so a metric hex wrench set is recommended. A screwdriver set and your vehicle's manual for reference will also be helpful.
- Is this part suitable for competitive racing or just casual bashing? — This Fastrax motor mount is suitable for both casual recreational driving and competitive racing. The improved rigidity and durability of aluminium compared to plastic makes it an excellent choice for anyone who drives their ARRMA RC model regularly, whether in local competitions or weekend bashing sessions.
