This aluminium motor mount with an SSG graphite plate is a scale RC accessory aimed at Mini-Z users who need a compact, serviceable motor support for MR-02-based setups. It pairs a machined aluminium base with a slim SSG graphite plate to anchor the motor assembly while keeping weight and stack height low. The part is intended for Kyosho Mini-Z MR-02 RM chassis patterns and references the MR-015 motor mount pattern noted in the original designation.
Compatibility and role: the component replaces the standard motor mounting interface, providing a rigid mounting surface that helps maintain gear mesh and motor alignment during tight cornering and hard acceleration on indoor tracks. It is primarily a tuning and durability item rather than a power or speed upgrade.
Installation notes: remove the stock motor mount and transfer any reusable hardware and bearings to the new mount, aligning the SSG graphite plate so the motor clearance and pinion engagement remain as before. Verify gear mesh with the motor installed and rotate the drivetrain by hand to check for binding. Use the original hex screws and a suitable hex driver for final torque; avoid over-tightening on graphite contact points.
Tuning and maintenance: this mount is useful when adjusting motor position for different pinion sizes or when experimenting with chassis flex and weight distribution. Periodically inspect the graphite plate for edge wear and the mounting faces for burrs, and ensure the motor screws remain snug after a few run sessions.
