Performance Mounts for TGX / TG-10

The Tamiya 53242 aluminium engine mounts are made to match the Tamiya TGX and TG-10 chassis. Built from light aluminium, the mounts hold the engine securely while eight cooling fins help move heat away from the motor during extended track sessions.

Core Specs for 53242 Mounts

  • Material: Lightweight aluminium fashioned for durability and minimal added mass
  • Cooling Design: Eight fins increase heat transfer to ambient air
  • Compatibility: Engineered to fit only Tamiya TGX and TG-10 chassis types

Mounting Guide

Installation follows the included instructions and uses the supplied mounting hardware. Secure the engine using the 3x12mm screws and washers provided, and confirm alignment before final tightening. Correct installation helps the mount stabilise the engine and improves cooling efficiency.

Minor adjustments are possible but altering mounting points can affect chassis geometry. Check clearances and alignment if you plan custom fitting.
Aluminium offers good resistance, but regular cleaning after wet or salty conditions is recommended to maintain appearance and performance.
The mounts are lightweight and should not significantly alter handling, though any change in engine placement or mass distribution can affect balance.
Inspect fasteners regularly, keep the fins free of debris and check for any loosening after a few runs to ensure continued performance.
