The FTX VANTAGE/CARNAGE/BANZAI MOTOR MOUNT(EP) 1PC is an essential spare part for owners of FTX's popular 1/10th scale electric RC cars and buggies. This motor mount is specifically engineered to work seamlessly with the FTX Vantage, FTX Carnage, and FTX Banzai models, making it an invaluable replacement component for anyone maintaining or upgrading their ready to run RC vehicle.

A worn or damaged motor mount can lead to misalignment issues, reduced performance, and potential damage to your motor and gearbox. By fitting a fresh, genuine FTX motor mount, you're restoring your RC buggy or truck to factory specification and maintaining the engineering integrity that makes these models such excellent performers. This single-piece design simplifies installation whilst maintaining the structural integrity your vehicle needs for reliable operation on the track or off-road terrain.

Technical Performance
The FTX motor mount is engineered with precision manufacturing standards to ensure rock-solid motor mounting and alignment within your 1/10th scale electric RC car or buggy. Proper motor alignment is absolutely critical to the performance and longevity of your drivetrain — even minor misalignment can cause premature bearing wear, increased power loss through the transmission, and uneven tyre wear patterns that degrade handling characteristics. This genuine FTX component maintains the exacting tolerances required by the Vantage 2.0 brushed buggy, the Carnage 2.0 brushed truck, the Carnage 2.0 brushless monster truck, and the Banzai drift car platforms. The mount interfaces directly with standard FTX chassis assemblies and securely positions the electric motor to deliver consistent power transfer through the transmission system. Built to withstand the vibration, shock loads, and operational stresses typical of off-road RC buggies and trucks, this component provides reliable long-term performance whether you're enjoying casual backyard bashing, competitive track racing, or challenging terrain exploration. The single-piece design eliminates fastener complexity whilst maintaining structural rigidity essential for maintaining motor alignment under acceleration, braking, and cornering forces. Replacement or upgrade of this component is straightforward maintenance that any RC enthusiast can perform with basic tools, restoring your vehicle to factory specification whenever wear becomes apparent.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX models does this motor mount fit? — This genuine FTX spare part (FTX6258) is fully compatible with the FTX Vantage 2.0 brushed buggy (FTX5533B and FTX5561B brushless variants), the FTX Carnage 2.0 brushed truck in both blue (FTX5537B) and red (FTX5537R) colour variants, the FTX Carnage 2.0 brushless RTR monster truck (FTX5539), and the FTX Banzai 1/10th scale 4WD drift car in both red (FTX5529) and green (FTX5529G) finishes. It also works with the FTX Bugsta 4WD brushed buggy (FTX5530) and compatible chassis kits.
- How do I know if I need to replace my motor mount? — Common signs of motor mount wear include visual cracks or damage to the mounting bracket, misalignment of the motor assembly, excessive vibration or noise coming from the motor area, uneven power delivery to the wheels, or difficulty maintaining proper motor timing during operation. If your RC car has experienced a significant impact or roll-over, inspect the motor mount for damage even if the vehicle still appears to run normally.
- Is this a difficult component to install? — The motor mount replacement is a straightforward maintenance task suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. Simply unbolt the old motor mount from the chassis using basic tools, slide the new mount into position, and fasten it securely with the existing hardware. The single-piece design means there are no multiple sub-components to align, making this an ideal beginner-friendly spare part to replace yourself.
- Will this fit my other FTX models? — This motor mount is specifically engineered for the Vantage, Carnage and Banzai model range. Whilst other FTX vehicles may have similar designs, we recommend verifying compatibility with the manufacturer's specifications or contacting our knowledgeable team before purchasing if you own a different FTX platform. Always consult your vehicle's manual for confirmed compatible components.
- What is the difference between this and a brushless motor mount? — This component is specifically designed for electric powered (EP) brushed motor systems used in the standard Vantage, Carnage, and Banzai models. FTX also produces brushless variants of some these models, which may require different mounting specifications. Always confirm your vehicle's motor type before ordering — if you own a brushless model, verify this is the correct component by checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team.
- Is this genuine FTX or a generic copy? — This is 100 percent genuine FTX manufacture, carrying the official part number FTX6258 and sold through authorised retailers. Genuine FTX parts ensure perfect fitment, reliable operation, and proper warranty coverage. Inferior generic or counterfeit motor mounts may cause alignment issues and damage to your motor and transmission.
