Technical Performance
The FTX Stinger Aluminium Motor Mount represents a significant upgrade from standard plastic motor mounts, delivering the kind of precision engineering expected in competitive on-road racing. The aluminium construction provides exceptional rigidity, which is essential for maintaining motor alignment under the stresses of high-speed cornering, acceleration, and braking. This is particularly important for brushless motor setups, where motor sag or misalignment can result in loss of power transfer efficiency and increased wear on internal drivetrain components. The mount's robust engineering ensures that your brushless motor remains perfectly centred within the gearbox, preventing the kind of meshing issues that can cause premature gear wear or motor damage. The lightweight yet strong aluminium material means you gain structural benefits without adding significant weight to your chassis, preserving the balance and handling characteristics of your FTX Stinger or FTX EVO30. This component is specifically designed for 1/10 scale on-road street cars where precision and reliability are paramount, making it an excellent choice for both competitive racers and dedicated hobbyists seeking to maintain their ready to run RC cars in peak condition.
