This gun metal aluminium motor mount is produced to fit TAMIYA TA01, TA02 and DF01 chassis, finished in gun metal. It functions as a dedicated replacement or upgrade to provide a stiffer mounting surface compared with standard plastic components, helping maintain motor position under load.
Installation is straightforward for standard TA01/TA02/DF01 layouts that use the factory motor box mounting points. Align the motor and check pinion-to-spur mesh before final tightening, keep screws at recommended torque to avoid stripping, and verify shaft alignment after mounting. The part relies on existing chassis holes and standard hardware; no additional tools or fittings are included.
In tuning terms this mount stabilises motor alignment to reduce mesh changes during hard acceleration or braking, which can improve drivetrain consistency and make gear mesh adjustments more predictable during setup sessions on touring or drift tracks.
