Precision aluminium motor mount for Traxxas Slash 4x4

The GPM SLA018A motor mount is CNC machined from high grade aluminium to provide a precision mounting surface for the Traxxas 1/10 Slash 4x4. Its stiffer material and accurate tolerances reduce flex at the motor flange, lower vibration transmission, and enhance heat conduction away from the motor body.

Technical benefits

  • Machined accuracy for consistent motor alignment on the Slash 4x4 chassis
  • Aluminium alloy increases structural stiffness and service life
  • Improved thermal path reduces hotspot buildup under heavy loads
  • Ideal for racers seeking durable upgrade components

Installation and service notes

Mounting the GPM SLA018A requires standard metric hex drivers and follows the stock motor interface. Verify screw lengths and apply appropriate threadlocker torque to secure the assembly for reliable operation during competition.

Packing includes

  • 1pc Aluminum Motor Mount

Compatible Models

  • Traxxas Slash 4x4

What is the recommended torque for motor screws?

Use a moderate torque setting appropriate for aluminium threads, typically around 1.5 to 2.5 Nm depending on screw size; avoid over tightening to prevent thread deformation.

Is any modification required for sensorless brushless motors?

No modification is normally required for sensorless motors that match the Slash 4x4 mounting pattern; confirm shaft position and pinion mesh during installation.

How does aluminium affect thermal performance compared to plastic?

Aluminium offers significantly better thermal conductivity than plastic, helping conduct heat away from the motor housing and reducing operating temperatures under sustained loads.
