The JR-TA102-BK aluminium motor mount is an RC replacement item for Tamiya TA01, TA02 and DF01 chassis. It supplies a rigid surface for the motor to maintain alignment with the spur and pinion gear train and does not claim particular performance increases. The component is for model use only.
Fitment is straightforward for those familiar with Tamiya touring car assemblies: remove the stock mount, line this aluminium plate up with the chassis fixing points, and normally reuse your existing motor mounting hardware. Check motor height and gear mesh after installation to avoid premature wear on the spur and pinion.
In tuning, a stiffer mounting plate helps prevent motor shift under load, making gear mesh adjustments more consistent. Use correct screw engagement and confirm the mount does not contact nearby servo or ESC housings in your specific TA01/TA02/DF01 arrangement.
The chosen material and finish are aimed at hobby durability; inspect fasteners periodically to ensure secure fitment.
