Track-Grade Aluminium Motor Mount for Tamiya 53142

The Tamiya 53142 Aluminium Motor Mount is a solid upgrade for tuners who want improved heat control and a reliable motor attachment. Built from aluminium, it assists with thermal management while keeping the motor firmly seated in the chassis for predictable throttle response.

Benefits of Aluminium

Aluminium offers a good strength-to-weight ratio, meaning you maintain nimble handling without sacrificing rigidity. A stiffer mount reduces unwanted movement under acceleration, so steering inputs feel more immediate.

Compatibility and Simple Installation

Designed to suit a selection of Tamiya RC car models, this mount installs with minimal fuss. Hobbyists should verify motor clearance and gearbox alignment during fitment to avoid interference issues.

Specifications

  • Material: Aluminum
  • Compatibility: Fits a selection of Tamiya RC car models
  • Function: Promotes better heat transfer and mounting stability

If you are tuning for lap consistency and component longevity, the Tamiya 53142 Aluminium Motor Mount is a compact, effective upgrade to consider.

Will this mount change my gear mesh settings?

Changing the mount position can affect gear mesh slightly, so recheck and fine-tune mesh after installing to prevent premature wear.

Is any special maintenance required?

Keep mounting screws torqued and periodically inspect for burrs or corrosion. Aluminium is low maintenance but treat threads with light threadlock if needed.

Will it fit brushless setups?

Many brushless motors use standard mount patterns that will fit, but always confirm motor diameter and shaft position against the mount before installation.

Does the mount affect weight distribution?

The mount adds minimal weight and its low mass helps keep balance changes small, but moving motor position can slightly alter handling characteristics.
