The RC18-013/SI aluminium motor mount is produced for the Team Associated RC18T series as a direct replacement or hop-up for the drivetrain mounting point. This machined alloy unit replaces softer stock mounts to provide a firmer motor fixing without altering vehicle scale or electrical arrangements.
Confirm chassis compatibility with RC18T models before purchase, since fit depends on the gearbox plate and screw layout. The component secures the motor to the gearbox or plate and controls pinion and spur alignment for correct engagement. This item is intended only for RC applications.
Fitting is simple for those used to small-scale RC work: remove the stock mount, carry across any required screws and spacers, align the new mount to the chassis locating holes, and tighten fasteners to a sensible torque to prevent thread damage. Check and refine gear mesh after installation to ensure quiet and reliable meshing.
As a tuning upgrade the aluminium mount provides a steadier mounting point that helps preserve gear alignment under heavier loads and aggressive driving, useful for competitive club racers and serious hobbyists. It is designed specifically for the RC18T family and for 1/18 scale electric truck setups.
