Stiffer Aluminium Motor Mount Built for DB02

The Tamiya 54403 Aluminium Motor Mount (OP-1403) replaces the stock die-cast motor bracket on DB02 models. This anodised blue aluminium part improves motor attachment and helps deliver a more consistent drivetrain feel.

Aluminium in RC Use

Aluminium components are chosen for their reliable strength to weight ratio. Swapping to this mount boosts longevity and lowers unsprung or rotating mass, which can improve throttle response and cornering on rough surfaces.

Fitting and Adjustment Tips

Ensure mounting points are clean and screws are seated correctly when installing the mount. Verify motor alignment and gear mesh after installation to avoid premature wear of gear teeth and bearings.

Yes, the mount accommodates common motor footprints used on DB02 setups; check that motor length and shaft position maintain correct gear mesh.
The anodised surface adds corrosion resistance and scratch protection, but rinse and dry parts after salt or gritty runs to extend life.
By holding the motor more securely and reducing flex, the mount can lower noise related to misalignment, though overall noise also depends on gear condition and mesh.
