Overview of the Tamiya 84293 blue anodised motor plate

The Tamiya 84293 Blue Aluminum Motor Plate is a compact solution for Type 540 motor installations. Its blue anodised coating improves surface durability while the 0.5mm thickness provides a reliable shim for fine tuning motor position.

Details on fit and durability

Made to suit Type 540 mounts, this aluminium plate combines lightweight construction with a protective finish. The slim profile is handy when small positional changes are needed to perfect gear engagement without replacing mounts.

Use cases and maintenance tips

Runners who put in long sessions or compete repeatedly will appreciate better heat management and easier mesh tuning. Wipe the plate clean after dusty runs to preserve the anodised surface and check screw lengths when reassembling.

Can I use this plate in salty or dusty environments?

The anodised finish gives some protection, but exposure to salt or heavy dust will still require regular cleaning and inspection to avoid corrosion or accelerated wear.

Does the plate alter motor cooling enough to matter?

As an aluminium conductor, the plate helps move heat away from the motor case. Combined with airflow and sensible gearing, it contributes to steadier operating temperatures.

Will I need different screws to install it?

Most installs reuse the existing motor screws, but verify the screw threads and length to ensure the plate does not interfere with secure mounting.

Is the 0.5mm thickness enough for fine tuning?

A 0.5mm shim is ideal for small adjustments to gear mesh. For larger changes, consider thicker shims or stack multiple plates if compatible with your setup.
