Precision motor mount for TRX4 platforms

This aluminium double-sided motor mount plate is engineered for TRAXXAS TRX4 Trail Crawler layouts. Dual-surface heat sink geometry increases exposed metal area for passive thermal transfer during extended low-speed operation.

Design specifications published by the manufacturer note a 13mm plate thickness, 8mm increase over the original component to deliver higher torsional stiffness and a slight forward motor offset. Hardware included: stainless steel flat head screws 3x14, quantity 2pcs for mount attachment.

Installation replaces the stock motor mount at chassis level without changing motor or gearbox orientation. The additional stiffness reduces motor deflection under torque loads and the thermal mass of the fins aids steady-state temperature control during sustained crawling duties.

Specifications

  • Item: Aluminum double-sided motor mount plate with heat sink fins - 3pcs set
  • Material: Aluminum
  • Model Number: TRX4018L
  • Compatibility: TRAXXAS TRX4 Trail Crawler

Perform a fit check for motor and gearbox clearance prior to installation and verify fastener torque after initial bench and trail testing to ensure long-term reliability.

This item is compatible with

  • TRAXXAS TRX4 Defender Trail Crawler

What are the primary engineering benefits of the TRX4018L design?

Increased plate thickness raises torsional stiffness and reduces motor micro-movement under load, while the dual-sided fins increase thermal surface area for better passive dissipation in low-speed, high-load situations.

Does the mount require any modification to the gearbox assembly?

No gearbox modification is required for standard TRX4 layouts; the plate is a direct replacement for the stock motor mount, but users should verify clearance with aftermarket gearboxes or motor can heights.

How should one evaluate thermal improvement after fitting?

Measure motor temperature under a controlled crawl test before and after fitting, keeping ambient and load conditions consistent; the fins provide passive reduction in steady-state motor temperature but results depend on airflow and load.
