RC4WD Yota II Rear Axle Mounts Baer Brake Systems Black Anodised Z-S1969

Overview

The RC4WD YOTA II Axle Mounts for Baer Brake Systems Rotors and Calipers represent a precision engineering solution for scale RC enthusiasts looking to add realistic brake functionality to their ultimate scale RC rigs. These CNC-machined aluminium mounts are specifically designed for the Yota II rear axle, providing an exact fit that enables seamless integration of Baer Brake Systems components into your scale crawler or RC off-road vehicle. Whether you are building a highly detailed scale RC truck for UK competitions, weekend bashing, or serious scale crawling events, these mounts deliver the accuracy and durability required by discerning RC hobbyists.

RC car enthusiasts across the UK have come to appreciate RC4WD's commitment to authentic scale reproduction and functional engineering. The YOTA II platform itself is renowned in the ready to run RC community for its versatility and customisation potential, and these brake mounts represent just one of many upgrade options available to enhance realism and performance. For those building scale RC trucks or crawlers that prioritise appearance and authenticity alongside driving capability, integrating a proper brake system transforms your RC model from a basic vehicle into a genuine scale replica with working hydraulic-style components.

These axle mounts are not a standalone product — they form the foundation of a complete scale brake system installation. By providing the structural mounting points needed to secure Baer Brake rotor and caliper assemblies, these mounts enable you to achieve the kind of visual detail and mechanical authenticity that separates genuinely impressive scale builds from standard RC vehicles. Their lightweight construction ensures minimal impact on vehicle weight distribution, critical for maintaining proper suspension geometry and handling characteristics on your RC crawler or scale truck.

Key Features

• Billet Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from premium billet aluminium rather than cast or stamped materials, providing superior strength-to-weight ratio and eliminating the risk of porosity or structural defects that can occur in lower-quality casting processes. This material choice ensures durability through repeated use and exposure to the demanding environments where RC crawlers and off-road trucks typically operate.
• CNC Machined for Precision — Each mount is computer numerically controlled machined to exact tolerances, guaranteeing perfect dimensional accuracy and consistency across all units. This manufacturing approach eliminates hand-finishing variances and ensures perfect fitment every time, critical when integrating brake components that must operate smoothly and look factory-accurate on your RC vehicle.
• Black Anodised Finish — The protective anodised coating provides multiple benefits including corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, and a professional appearance that complements scale brake components and high-end RC trucks. Anodising is an electrochemical process that creates a durable oxide layer on the aluminium surface, far more effective than paint or simple powder coating for long-term protection in outdoor RC environments.
• Ultralight Weight Design — At just 0.24 ounces or 7.0 grams per mount, these components add virtually no mass to your RC vehicle's rear axle assembly. Keeping unsprung weight minimal is essential for maintaining suspension responsiveness and ensuring your scale crawler maintains proper articulation and traction control on challenging terrain.
• Complete Hardware Included — The package provides all necessary M2 steel fasteners including both button head and socket head cap screws in the required lengths, eliminating the need for separate hardware purchases and ensuring compatibility with RC4WD specifications.

Technical Performance

These axle mounts represent the engineering precision that serious RC enthusiasts expect from RC4WD, a brand recognised across the UK and globally for producing authentic scale RC vehicles and components. The billet aluminium construction provides the material rigidity necessary to maintain perfect geometric alignment of brake rotors and calipers, essential for smooth brake engagement without pad drag or noise. The CNC machining process achieves tolerances typically held to within 0.01 inches, ensuring that when paired with RC4WD Baer Brake rotor and caliper assemblies, your brake system will operate with realistic feel and appearance. The black anodised finish provides more than aesthetic appeal — it represents a genuine protective coating that withstands exposure to dirt, moisture, and the flexing stresses inherent to RC vehicle suspension articulation. At 7.0 grams per mount, the weight penalty is negligible when distributed across your vehicle's total mass, making these mounts an ideal upgrade for any Yota II rear axle build regardless of your intended use case, whether competitive scale crawling, casual RC off-road driving, or detailed scale exhibition display.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What Yota II components are these mounts compatible with? — These rear axle mounts are specifically engineered to fit the RC4WD Yota II Ultimate Scale Cast Axle (Rear), model Z-A0081. They will not fit other axle variants or manufacturers' products, so verify your axle assembly before purchase.
• Can I use these mounts without the Baer brake system? — No, these are mounting brackets designed exclusively to support Baer Brake Systems rotor and caliper assemblies. Without these brake components installed, the mounts serve no functional purpose. They must be paired with RC4WD model Z-S1962 brake system to create a complete installation.
• Are these suitable for a beginner RC enthusiast? — These mounts are best suited to intermediate or advanced RC modellers with experience installing scale components and understanding suspension geometry. Installation requires precision and care to ensure proper brake alignment. Beginners should master basic RC truck assembly before attempting detailed scale brake installations.
• What is the weight penalty for adding these mounts and brake system? — Each mount weighs just 7.0 grams, totalling 14 grams for the rear pair. This minimal unsprung weight addition preserves suspension response and handling characteristics, making them ideal for crawlers where weight distribution and traction are critical to performance.
• Do I need replacement fasteners? — RC4WD provides replacement hardware separately under model Z-S1096 should you lose or damage any of the M2 fasteners during installation or maintenance. Keep these part numbers for future reference.
• Will these mounts improve my RC truck's braking performance? — These mounts themselves do not add braking function — they are purely structural components that enable brake system installation. Actual braking performance depends on the Baer Brake rotor and caliper set (Z-S1962) and your vehicle's overall weight and suspension setup.
• What tools are required for installation? — Standard RC tools including small Allen wrenches (hex drivers) for M2 socket head cap screws and potentially small screwdrivers. An instruction manual available for download provides detailed assembly guidance to ensure proper installation.
